Ben JacksonHOST
We will touch a little bit on the Cup because it does kind of relate to one of our main topics of conversation for this evening.
Ben JacksonHOST
Antwerp, got a really, really important win against Charleroi 3-0.
Ben JacksonHOST
And they looked good.
Ben JacksonHOST
They looked like they had energy.

Joris BecqHOST
Yeah, very bad, and it's been interesting as well to see the stats from the second half, and what is the main reason behind that, and of course the question, we know they do like their press as well, but maybe they're physically this time around not good enough to keep that on the whole 90 minutes, to be honest.
Joris BecqHOST
They haven't been for the last couple of seasons, but it's a bit earlier now than maybe the drop-offs, where it's shown a bit more in the outputs against them.
Joris BecqHOST
But yeah, is it that, or is it more like, indeed, defensive errors, concentration, lack of concentration? It's all connected, obviously, but which one of the factors is there, the main one? I guess, interestingly, the next few games are against Antwerp at home.
Joris BecqHOST
yeah, they will have hoped and still will hope to get some points there, but they will have hoped to face Antwerp and still deep down in the crisis, I think, as well, themselves, but they just crawled out.
Andy VaughanHOST
Just a disgrace.
Andy VaughanHOST
Antwerp versus Charleroi.
Andy VaughanHOST
Took Charleroi away from home here in the Belgian Drupal Pro League at 3-4.
Andy VaughanHOST
And Antwerp just battered them.
Andy VaughanHOST
3-0.
Andy VaughanHOST
They scored within the first 10 minutes, added on around the half hour mark.
Matt BakerHOST
And then you look to some of their, some of their high scoring players, some of their notable players, Vincent Jansen, uh, who was the notable player the last time we played them.
Matt BakerHOST
He is their central reference point, their center forward, uh, the Netherlands international summer signing from Royal Antwerp.
Matt BakerHOST
He became the first Timbers player in their MLS history to score a regular season hat trick against Minnesota in his first start.
Matt BakerHOST
So Jansen's the big player to watch for, but they've got other stars.
Martin RileyHOST
Dejan Mefali from Toulouse for €28 million.
Martin RileyHOST
Jules Ahoka from Royal Antwerp for €10 million.
Martin RileyHOST
And then Kevin Danso on loan.
Martin RileyHOST
from spurs for a loan and i think that that loan fee is also included in that 70 million euros then they've got thomas munier uh 34 years old from lille he had a free transfer um so yeah there's not as much as what their their fans will have been hoping that they had put into it after how well they did last season but like i said earlier in the pods There's tighter restrictions over what you can spend when you're in European competitions.
Callum HodgartGUEST
And you see it's an early one taking a Friday night game but your record's been pretty good this season on Friday night games so hopefully that gets us off to a good start.
Callum HodgartGUEST
We'll have to wait until Saturday at 3pm for the second part of the double because I'm in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League and I'm looking at Antwerp versus Charleroi and this time I'm taking the away team and the price for them to win is 31 to 40 so I mentioned this briefly in the banker slot firstly there's no two up payout in the Belgian duplex pro league so you're well worth looking to see is it more value in the Asian handicap minus 0.5 ultimately it's slightly bigger it's 31 to 40 in the minus 0.5 whereas it's 3 to 4 or 30 to 40 if you're looking at it that way in terms of the win so I would always say it's literally click the button it's the same bet take the 31 to 40 but either way I think you're getting a decent price on Charleroi So we're back in third on the table, Charlotte now.
Callum HodgartGUEST
So they have three times as many points as the 13th in the place Antwerp.
Callum HodgartGUEST
So after eight games, Charlotte have got 21 points and Antwerp have only got seven.
Callum HodgartGUEST
They're third on the table, but they've actually won seven out of those eight matches.
Callum HodgartGUEST
So if your maths was quick there and I told you eight games they'd played 21, you would have realised that they've won seven out of eight games.
Callum HodgartGUEST
So they've started the season really strongly on the road.
Callum HodgartGUEST
The only match where they dropped points was a 3-2 defeat to Union Saint-Germain, so they're one of the better teams in Belgium and they actually won the XG battle in that game 2.18 to 1.24. Now obviously that can happen when you're chasing another team or whatever, I understand that, but actually it makes it look pretty good on paper in terms of the start of the season.
Rob BeckettHOST
Are you
Josh WiddicombeHOST
going to go and watch Royal Antwerp? That's the team.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
I've looked, but no, what
Rob BeckettHOST
I was going to do was, so basically, originally, this is, I'll be honest, I was trying to find something to do with them, and I worked backwards from Feyenoord were playing PSV Eindhoven on the Sunday.
Paul John DykesHOST
Let's get rid of this banner for a second here.
Paul John DykesHOST
So this is the Celtic manager top win percentage in the history of the football club.
Paul John DykesHOST
Martin O'Neill is still top of the tree.
Paul John DykesHOST
His little run recently took him back from 76% down to 75%.

Ian ConroyPANELIST
I think if we'd taken care of that kind of business to add to the quality that we'd signed in the window, I think we would be motoring now in Europe.
Ian ConroyPANELIST
I would like to see, and this is not me sort of trying to put Carmack out of your pasture, but To elongate his career even, you know.
Ian ConroyPANELIST
I mean, his influence on the park as a man, as a guy, and around the club can't be denied.
Ian ConroyPANELIST
He's a class act as a guy.
Alasdair GoldHOST
Um, and goalkeeper hurls this long throw, and he runs, Yang, almost from his own area the length of the pitch, cuts inside his man, and curls a left-footer in the top left corner.
Alasdair GoldHOST
It was a absolutely beautiful goal against Royal Antwerp.
Alasdair GoldHOST
Um, I think they won 5-1, Westerlo.
Alasdair GoldHOST
That hopefully for him now is the, you know, the, the, the kicking off point, because obviously he's...
Derek ClarkHOST
... was that the first, was that the first or second leg, folks? Um, I get mixed up a bit about these games.
Derek ClarkHOST
When they played Royal Antwerp I think the goals were, were raining in.
Derek ClarkHOST
But, um, yeah, it was, uh, it was funny seeing him posting, posting that from, uh, from a good few years ago of course.
Derek ClarkHOST
Um, but, uh, yeah.
Paul John DykesHOST
Here's a guy we've just shelled out five million quid on.
Paul John DykesHOST
I mean, I think he was carried off the field after his final game with Royal Antwerp.
Paul John DykesHOST
So I'll throw it over to you, JP, because I'm looking at that going, what did you expect,
John Paul MasonPANELIST
mate? He said his thighs were on fire.
John Paul MasonPANELIST
He said every training session was like do or die.
John Paul MasonPANELIST
And he whetted off the park after 10 minutes at Ibrox.
John Paul MasonPANELIST
What in the hell were we doing signing a guy like that? How is mentality not being looked into in terms of recruitment? How is that not being evaluated and assessed? So the guy looks good in the Belgian Pro League for Royal Antwerp.
John Paul MasonPANELIST
Aye, but has he got the metal? Has he got the testicular fortitude to play in a...
