Hello, welcome to the Gabbain Joule show. No Gabbain marketing again today. So look who's with me!

The Hedge Insider. The tracksuit top ever. The hoodies together.

Yeah. Why we cannot football we had. We had the FA Cup of course. We had the French Cup.

We had the Liga, Serie A which was an amazing weekend of Italian football. Still no football in Germany,

but as you know, they take their time in their winter break, they're in the break.

But only one place to start really is at the 88 between Manchester City and Chelsea in the FA Cup.

We talk about all the rest of course after, but we have to start and first praise the winners.

Of course, Manchester City four-need winners. Pretty easy in the end.

Cruised to victory, didn't they? Yeah. Absolutely cruised to it.

They are flying. I don't think they're playing as well as what they did probably 18 months ago, but they're efficient.

But I think the big story to yours is how poor Chelsea are.

I can't. Like it's incredible to turn around in the drop off.

I was there for ESPN. We have obviously the coverage.

And as to the lineups, the two lineups, so the Bren on the bench, Alain on the bench,

good no one on the bench, stones on the bench. You go through, you can't sell on the bench,

you go like the bench for City was obscene. But you think, okay, well, you know,

Chelsea can come here and then turn to Cropon in the league.

Brenford won before the World Cup in a very similar style of play.

Maybe that maybe for Chelsea, there's a sniff.

Yeah, but when you see the lineups, there was just nothing in the performance don't.

No desire. No, there were no aggressive. There was no fighting.

There was just no structure on the ball of the ball.
