You guys have some crazy hot teams
0:02
Today, we're back to grade them. Do you guys know ball? Or are you guys just rage baiting us
0:06
Let's get into it. Let's get the first one out of the way
0:12
Graham Goodman, 4212 says, Tottenham shouldn't be in the big six with the likes of Villa being more successful
0:19
That's actually based. That's actually based. I'm a big fan of that
0:23
I'm actually a big fan of that because... I don't know if I'm a fan of that, bro
0:27
Even if it's an Arsenal fan. I'm a big fan of that. graham thank you because you know what like the rest of the world is too scared to hear what you
0:34
have to say i think aston villa are a bigger club and they're more sustainable i feel like tottenham
0:39
they got their trophy last year right but every i don't know the the rest of it there's a lot
0:43
in between right it's like champions league final yeah guys we did it and then it's like wait wait
0:48
wait win the europa league in a season where they actually finished 17th aston villa more sustainable
0:53
whatever honestly not that hot of a take get an a from me what you think i think i'm
0:58
Real quick, I might sound like an ill boomer, but are we saying base
1:03
Like, what does base mean? Base means like it's good. Like, it's valid
1:09
It's valid. Okay, nah, I think I'm going to have to agree with Talon on this one
1:13
Because I don't think anybody has any God-given right to be in any position
1:17
Like, you really got to work for it. Yes, United fan. That's what I'm saying. It's like, yo, I mean, like, as a Man United fan, I would love to sit in this position and be like
1:24
All of us deserve to be. The traditional top six deserve to be in the traditional top six
1:29
But I would sound absolutely deluded if I said that. Because if a football club is not run properly, if the players aren't working
1:34
if the coaching is not working for whatever reason, then as simple as you don't deserve to be there
1:38
You know what I mean? And I just, I can't sit here and tell y'all that as a United fan
1:43
Spurs or anybody should be in the top six because they're in the top six. So A through F, what are you giving it
1:48
It's a hot take. I'm going to give it a B minus. Whoa, specific
1:54
Bro, I can't believe right now I'm about to debate Tottenham being great. I wouldn't say, all right, listen, this is crazy
2:00
I do think that Tottenham at the end of the day, they've proven, honestly, bro, they might be a top six side, bro
2:05
They're competing against PSG last month. They did really well. Or what was it
2:09
They competed against PSG this month. They lost, you know what I'm saying? But to show that they can do it at that scale, they won the Europa League as well
2:15
And Thomas Frank has came in and they're playing good, bro. They're playing good football
2:19
Do you know what happened with Nuno Espirito Santo? Do you remember? I mean, yes, I know what happened
2:24
I'm familiar. One of those three games, right? Yeah. And then... I think with this Tottenham squad, I think they have something about them, though
2:31
The only thing, though, their overconfidence is kind of pissing me off. Did you see Jed Spence's Instagram post where he was like
2:37
he's like, bring on your winger to me. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, bro, watch you get cooked next game
2:42
You know what I'm saying? It's crazy, bro. What are you ranking that, though, Tom? A through F
2:46
Well, he said the Villa's better, right? Yeah. A. Well done, lad
2:51
All right. i have to grade that bro i'm a grave i'm a grader to see i see aston villa they're successful club
2:55
they're coming up but it's not like villa has really won anything yet they've won a championship
2:59
when back in the day man don't get it out you can't be using bass bro trying to be a football historian you know what
3:09
i'm saying always had a soft spot for villa that's all i'm saying yankee spam says i just
3:13
first of all sorry what is that instagram handle yankee spam that's a that's a youtube name that's
3:19
worse yeah i don't know what yankee spams is oh i guess it's like yank like american spams like
3:24
messages that's that's dumb that's dumb i'm sorry yankee spams wherever you are all right yankee
3:30
spams i just know i'm gonna be bombarded like crazy messi only deserved three to four ballon
3:34
doors shut the f*** up whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa okay i know there was one year in particular that
3:42
cr7 had a chance of winning but if you go back and look at the stats bruh in my opinion i think
3:47
I think Messi deserved every Ballon d'Or he got, bro. Okay, this is the thing, right
3:52
If you assume that the Ballon d goes to the best player in football Lionel Messi should have had 15 Yeah Right Like you give Ronaldo one or two in there because I don know like treble whatever something silly abs per 90
4:05
Like, some kind of dumb s***. But, like, Messi should have 10
4:10
Messi should have 10, which makes that take stupid. Give it an F. This is the thing about hot takes
4:14
Is that, like, people just saying things. You know what I'm saying? I dare, I dare, is that Yankee Spans
4:19
Yeah, Yankee Spans. I dare you to pull up to Corona, like, flushing back off your Corona
4:23
And say that with your chest. I dare you to go to Buenos Aires and say that with your chest. It's crazy talk
4:29
Sorry, the way John just said, pull up and say it to my face. Not my face
4:34
I'm just saying there's got to be more. I do get where he's coming from, though
4:39
Because I do understand that there were some years where you can kind of feel like maybe the Ballon d'Or, like the organization
4:45
Okay, there was one year in particular. Do you guys remember the year when Ribery lost it? Was that the year that Messi won
4:50
Bro, grow up. It's Frank Ribery. But was that the year that Messi won it and Ribery was supposed to win it
4:55
Or someone else won it? I think it was Lewandowski. Wasn't it Lewandowski? It was Virgil van Dijk that came quite close
5:01
But still, it's Lionel Messi and Messi. But this is what I'm saying
5:05
Already, we're kind of saying, was it this guy? If it was actually him, I guarantee you, at least one of us would be like, yo, it was him
5:12
It was definitely. But already the fact that we're just kind of like, I can't remember. That just goes to show there was at least enough validity for Messi to claim it
5:18
I wouldn't challenge that. I'm not dying on that hill. What did you say? What would you grade that hot take
5:22
I don't know about an F. I'm going to give it a D. I'm going to have to grade that hot take. That hot take deserves a D plus, bro
5:28
You know what I'm saying? I feel like... Stop. Stop. I feel like there's only one year where Messi could have maybe lost it
5:34
and that was the Riberi year back in 2012. But other than that, bro, what are we really talking about here
5:38
It's Messi, dog. Like, you know what I'm saying? Whenever Messi wins a Ballon d'Or, it's honestly rightfully deserved, bro
5:43
Yeah. At the end of the day. I don't get... Sorry. One more thing on that. When people got mad that he won one after he won the World Cup with Argentina
5:49
How would that's the one that's the most deserving you want to work up he ended everything that every discussion was that was it like if that ever was a goat debate it got ended that yeah it did
5:59
Oh I just I would like to add though that like that conversation I remember that year was because people were saying that statistically numbers wise he wasn't really pulling up to it
6:06
It was just that World Cup thing that really glorified him to that found door but football is about stories that complete the story and that if there's any Ballon d'Or deserving of a moment it is that
6:19
One of the greatest ever, Lionel Messi. And this is, for me, as somebody that appreciates both Messi and Ronaldo
6:24
one of the greatest ever to finish, complete the journey. You know what I'm saying
6:28
Like, we all watched anime before. That's the pinnacle. That's the pinnacle, baby. That's Goku hitting Super Saiyan
6:32
Ah! Arjirit! Arjirit! You know what I'm saying? I've got no idea what that means, but..
6:38
See, I didn't know base. He didn't know Goku. There we go. I've seen Goku on Fortnite
6:43
Does that count? Nah, that does not count. Let's go next. This guy's Gen Z, bro
6:46
Let's go next. Next one, we got one from Lego ZG3HS. That's a pop
6:52
He says, my hot take is Benzema's better than Luis Suarez. I'm gonna go first
6:57
That's a W. That's a 10 out of 10. That's an 8 plus. John, that's heated, bro
7:02
Tell us why. Look, Suarez, if we're comparing pound for pound, I think Benzema is a much more clinical
7:08
Top. Stronger, faster, longevity. Wrong, wrong, wrong. If I had to pick my, if I had to pick the best nines
7:16
and now you gave me Benzema Suarez, I'm going Benzema 10 out of 10. 10 times out of 10
7:21
What do you think? Suarez maybe had a little bit of that, like he was unstoppable moment
7:25
but that was such a short period. So, okay, go ahead. So Luis Suarez was the best striker in Europe
7:31
from 2014 until about 2017, 16. You could make a case for 2018 as well
7:38
I don't think Benzema has ever been, and yes, he won the Ballon d'Or
7:42
but I don't think Benzema has ever been the best in the world at his position, like consistently
7:47
And Suarez, look, Benzema is an unbelievable player, a lot of respect for him
7:52
But Suarez better goalscorer better dribbler better work rate I mean better passer Could you make that argument I don know man And look the Liverpool fan in me as well is like
8:03
that Liverpool team was bad. He hard-carried Liverpool for three years. He hard-carried Liverpool for three years
8:11
got more goals than Messi and Neymar for Barcelona. And then after Barca cut him, basically
8:17
said, you, and won La Liga with Atleti. that is a dumb take for me honestly at the end of the day bro i honestly think that kareem benzema
8:28
has so much of his career based off like the last two years he had at real madrid if you guys
8:33
remember back in the day they used to yell at benzema bro like ronaldo used to be furious at
8:37
him for missing bunch of opportunities when he was playing with gareth bale especially when he
8:41
first came back when he first came from leon it took him a while to really find his footing and
8:45
honestly benzema always seemed like a complimentary piece than like the star number nine that you
8:51
build a team around you know what's funny is that he had the same thing that um rooney had at united
8:57
in the if you got the sense that if benzema was ever the star in his prime like they'd be really
9:03
like but he'd like sacrifice himself for the team a little bit like they stuck him out on the wing
9:08
basically because ronaldo had to play through the center what's that like but like i i think
9:13
genuinely it's hard like i i i sympathize with the point of view where people go man if he'd been
9:18
using his best position his whole career like whoa but like but he wasn't so he's not so i think that
9:25
take i'm gonna give it a c because i see the argument but i think at the end of the day i
9:29
think louis suarez is a little bit of a level ahead of kareem benzemon i've gone a f f what
9:34
you got john what did you give it i'm gonna give that a b plus b plus i gave it a c bro okay i see
9:40
the argument the way that both of you are just on the fence you're like yeah it's okay all right
9:44
next take from footballer 7717 pochettino was an even worse manager than ten hog he was the one
9:51
who couldn't win ucl with neymar messi and bapé and the one who used son as a left back in the
9:56
final lord have mercy pochettino's definitely a better manager than ten hog i don't care what
10:02
anybody says i've seen ten hog ball and that was some of the worst football i've seen in my life
10:06
sorry not sorry i i don't even know what to do with that yeah i don't know i don't know what do
10:11
you think about that john i think with the greatest respect i have a lot of respect and love for pochettino but i think ten hog was just i think ten hog was just at the wrong place wrong
10:18
time and i think he's actually a really good manager but i think ten hog gets disrespected
10:22
i think a lot of what he's done at iax gets just completely overshadowed yeah uh because of his
10:27
time at united remember at united he's had to deal with uh cristiano ronaldo that had to
10:31
rediscover himself in that era where he was kind of like waning and figuring out can i still stay
10:35
in europe do i have to go somewhere else you have to deal with a lot of that on top of all the problems we was having at Man United with respect to Jadon Sancho. We're talking about people bringing
10:42
an ante. There's so much things that he's had to handle, and he's still won trophies at the end of
10:46
the day. So, I think that's, I think that's, I don't know. I think Tano's a better manager than
10:50
Poch. That's a flame. I don't know. I think Pochettino, the way he made Southampton relevant
10:57
the way he basically, and I buzzed earlier in this segment. He brought them to a CL final. He brought
11:02
them to a CL final, made them competitive in the Premier League with honestly not that much money
11:07
and i mean that psg team and if you want to make that same argument about walking into a dumpster
11:13
fire look at pochettino and psg so look and the argument that he couldn't win the champions league
11:20
with like neymar mbappe whatever no one could no one no one could no one could that's that is that
11:26
is a fundamentally imbalanced team and that is like one of the biggest misconceptions in football
11:31
in recent years like oh you got missing neymar and mbappe just go and win everything no like
11:35
That's so obviously not how it works. So yes, while I will give you that Ten Hag probably gets too much
11:42
Pochettino's streets ahead. So I'll give it a D. What are we rating this take? D. D
11:50
Ten Hag is better than Pochettino so I going to give that an A for you What did you give that I going to give that plus wow yeah i gave it a d because i think ten hog is i mean the i act stuff was reasonably impressive the way i
12:03
putting it is that if ten hog was the usmnt would they be that much better probably not so i'm gonna
12:08
give it a d all right last hot take is from abdul barry zi8vi tegea is the best goalkeeper after
12:18
after Gianluigi Buffon? Ever. Ever. Ever. So it goes Buffon De Gea
12:27
It goes Buffon De Gea. Buffon De Gea is in his rankings
12:31
Boy, ain't no way, boy. You ain't go tell me De Gea is the second best goalkeeper ever
12:35
That's a little insane. I'm not even entertaining that. Yeah, I'm not going to entertain that, bro
12:39
I don't know. I feel like producer Ken is like, debate it, idiots. However
12:44
Oh, God. However. However. If we're talking prime De Gea, I'm trying
12:50
I'm trying, y'all. I'm trying. If we're talking prime De Gea, maybe there's a conversation
12:56
Maybe. Prime De Gea. No, that's a crazy take. De Gea. De Gea
13:01
Top two. Dude, Dave saves, man. Like, he had a moment, but come on now
13:07
But that moment was long, though. It was. If that De Gea. Remember, that fact situation where De Gea should have went to Real Madrid
13:14
and he ended up staying. if he did go there could have been that conversation he got i hate that i have to say it this way but
13:19
he did get stuck at united and he carried this team i can't even as a united fan i can't even
13:24
tell you how many times i was at the edge of my seat clenching my ass because i was like oh my god
13:29
how did he stop that yeah how i can't even tell you how many times i've seen rival fans go there's
13:35
no way he should have stopped that yeah like i can't that was for five like five years bro and
13:39
considering the fact that when he first got to mentions united remember how much he was struggling
13:43
bro if you think by and dear can't come out for for corner kicks you should have seen the hay
13:48
back in the day bro i remember the hay against west brom people used to be like yo he cannot
13:52
handle the physicality of the prem the center backs are destroying him on his line during
13:56
corner kicks for him to evolve into the goalkeeper who he was at manchester united for the amount of
14:02
time he was at manchester united it's pretty phenomenal bro honestly i gotta give david
14:06
day his credits but in no world is he the second best goalkeeper of all time when you have manuel
14:11
neuer courtois yeah before you can make an argument that bouffon isn't even number one yeah like i
14:17
don't even know if before is number one myself bro i think now allison's got had a better career
14:23
than david de jane yeah i think so but like but like david de jane still for a while was a really
14:29
good goalie but i don't think he was ever the best in the world either no he was there was one there
14:33
was one or two seasons where he was there's one season yeah there was one i would say i can't
14:37
remember the exact number but there was one definitive season where he went crazy and everybody
14:41
was like yo this guy deserves if there was the yashin you know nostalgia merchants gonna say
14:47
you love yashin number one or like oliver khan but what do you guys rate that take it's enough
14:53
i'm not to give that an f my boy i don't know about that man ablubari looks like you love
15:04
the hay a lot my boy clearly but out of all these takes who deserves the fan nose ball award
15:10
the first one tottenham shouldn't be in the big six with the likes of villa being more successful
15:14
all knowledge or benzema better than suarez i like that one better you like that one ah
15:20
okay so we got the first one for you from uh graham goodman 4212 graham goodman you are a
15:27
legend your guy's lego lego zg3hs my guy has to be i'm gonna have to give it to lego bro no no i'm
15:35
have to give it to graham goodman actually i didn't even like any of those takes I don't even know what I like bro
15:42
Raheem's conclusion Honestly bro I don't like any of these takes dog
