Gary Neville (0:00)
What's that flavor again, if I've lost my mind?
Jill Scott (0:02)
Cinnamon.
Gary Neville (0:03)
No.
Jamie Carragher (0:03)
Is it?
Gary Neville (0:04)
No.
Jill Scott (0:07)
No.
Gary Neville (0:09)
What's the new flavor, everyone? Oh my god, I love it. Have you had an ice cream now?
Jamie Carragher (0:14)
Pistachio.
Gary Neville (0:15)
Pistachio. When did Pistachio come out?
Do you know what I mean?
Jamie Carragher (0:20)
When did Pistachio come out?
David Ornstein (0:22)
It's everywhere now, though, isn't it?
Gary Neville (0:23)
Did anyone hear of Pistachio when you were a kid? Pistachio ice cream now is just unbelievable.
Jamie Carragher (0:28)
Do you know what's Pistachio? Do you know what's made it quite famous in the last few years? Do you know how to do buy chocolate? Have you ever tried it?
Gary Neville (0:35)
Any Pistachio now is just unbelievable.
Jamie Carragher (0:36)
Have you had the chocolate, though, without that?
Gary Neville (0:38)
Why does it have to be from Dubai?
Jamie Carragher (0:39)
No, that's the name of it. It's called Dubai chocolate.
Gary Neville (0:42)
I get the bites from Marks and Spencers on the train.
Jamie Carragher (0:45)
What bites? Pistachio bites?
Gary Neville (0:48)
Yeah, like Pistachio in the middle of the chocolate.
Jamie Carragher (0:50)
Like the Dubai chocolate?
Paul Gilroy (0:51)
Why does it have to be? I don't know.
Roy Keane (0:53)
That's what it's called.
Jamie Carragher (0:56)
If you're going to Marks and Spencers for chocolate, you've just got to get the giant buttons. The giant milk buttons.
Gary Neville (1:02)
Kieran, is there a podcast, Financial Fair Play? Is there an FFP of podcasts?
Jamie Carragher (1:06)
Can you imagine that? To be able to afford Kieran? Exactly.
Jill Scott (1:09)
Who has the most staff?
Jamie Carragher (1:11)
I'd hate to have to do that. Would you say, I mean, Super League was massive. Would you say this is bigger?
Gary Neville (1:18)
Yeah, I think this is going to linger for longer. Because Super League was a thing that happened, it was all over quick.
This has just gone on for that long, I think it's going to go on really long because they're not backing down, are they? The owners are told they're not being... They're almost doubling down, aren't they?
Jamie Carragher (1:34)
Well, they are publicly. You wonder behind the scenes whether they would be trying to get a deal done that's...
Everyone thought they'd get off. We all thought, I thought they'd get like 52 or 36 of them.
Gary Neville (1:47)
I was convinced they were always guilty of it, but I just didn't see how the Premier League would beat them in the...
Jamie Carragher (1:53)
In the League of Sight.
Gary Neville (1:56)
This goes out anyway, this bit doesn't it? Yeah. I'll save this for the show.
Jamie Carragher (2:00)
No, you don't have to save it for the show.
Gary Neville (2:02)
No, but I just couldn't see the Premier League beating them.
Jamie Carragher (2:04)
From a legal perspective.
Gary Neville (2:05)
Yeah, I just didn't need to tangle them up, the lawyers, they'd have the money, they'd keep throwing at it.
Jamie Carragher (2:12)
I thought the most bizarre thing was City's statement saying that they've got irrefutable evidence.
Gary Neville (2:16)
Unbelievable, unbelievable.
Jamie Carragher (2:17)
That basically it's not right and then...
Gary Neville (2:19)
I had to watch it twice, I watched that interview, I watched it and then...
Jamie Carragher (2:22)
You've just been found guilty, something's...
Gary Neville (2:24)
Do it before the guilty.
Jamie Carragher (2:25)
It was a bit Trump-esque, wasn't it? Yeah, it's a bit like...
Gary Neville (2:27)
Putin, it was Trump, it was like, oh my God.
Jamie Carragher (2:30)
I thought it made him look more guilty, if anything, doing that video. Yeah.
It's a shocker for the Premier League. It's a shocker. Think of all the games you watched over those years with that team. And how brilliant that team is and was.
Gary Neville (2:50)
Some of the best plays you've ever seen.
Jamie Carragher (2:52)
And you just think you're watching that all the way through.
Ian Wright (2:56)
You have to walk in like this when you get an episode like this.
Jill Scott (3:00)
We're not there, we're all...
Jamie Carragher (3:01)
Here's our jury.
Roy Keane (3:03)
Whoa!
Jamie Carragher (3:08)
What's this? Is the case for the defence.
Jill Scott (3:17)
I need to be rocky today.
Jamie Carragher (3:19)
Only joking, Jill.
Jill Scott (3:20)
Oh, God.
Ian Wright (3:22)
What's this on here? Is this everything, Gal?
Jamie Carragher (3:25)
I just thought for the first time you might want some of the stuff in front of you, you might not.
