Spud Page

@5liveSport Wow @bbcjohnmurray, you absolutely nailed this piece of commentary. Your cadence and words were pitch perfect. I'm sure it's not easy calling a loss for the English sides - hopefully you won't have to do too much of that this summer!

"Two Champions League finals for Arsenal, twenty years apart. It's defeat in both." 💔 Watch John Murray and Matt Upson call the moment Arsenal were denied their first European title and PSG went back-to-back 🏆 #BBCFootball #UCL #PSG #AFC

@RobertoHollis9 @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave @alibruceball @FPLNorthern @LukeKempner Wow - what a superb effort @RobertoHollis9! Better than anything I could cobble together! 😃 In fact, I did do a song for this season, but it couldn't be played for copyright reasons - that will teach me for not checking! 😂

What a season. What a brilliant pod. Huge congrats @chris_sutton73, extremely proud of how far you’ve come! Thank you @StatmanDave & @alibruceball So I thought it deserved a song from me, I know it’s probably not as good as @PageSpud’s but thought I’d give it a shot anyway! 👇

@RobertoHollis9 Haha - brilliant! I loved seeing the handwritten notes of all the best bits. The workings behind the genius rhymes! And even @bbcjohnmurray would be proud of those handwritten notes! :)

P.S: This was the full list of funny moments from this season:

@alibruceball @_chriscoles_ @chris_sutton73 From now to the end of the season, whoever @StatmanDave suggests each week as his "Differential" will go straight into my team with the captain's armband. This week: A massive 1-pointer from Schade helping me to get thrashed by @alibruceball in the mini league 🫣

Does Haaland get the heave-ho to lump on Liverpool against sorry Spurs? 🤔 Who’s Dave’s differential this week? 👀 And it’s a crunch Chris clash in Sutton Death as our guest ⁦@_chriscoles_⁩ goes head-to-head against ⁦@chris_sutton73⁩ 💥 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave @BBCSounds Saka picking up a hamstring means his ownership has dropped to 6.7% - I'm taking the plunge! 3 losses from 3 so far this season - desperate times/desperate measures and all that. @StatmanDave - what do you think about Isak at 3.7% ownership??

@GladiatorsTV - my son had a great idea for a new TV series: Gladiators International! Basically the Gladiators from the different franchises around the world (US, UK, Australia, etc) take each other on at the ultimate international showdown! 🔥 What do you think?

@helenlclarke @alibruceball @LukeKempner @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave @BBCSounds Thanks Helen!! :)

@alibruceball @LukeKempner @PageSpud Just brilliant! Great work, Spud! Thanks for all the fun this season. I’m still rubbish at FPL but love listening to the pod. Let’s do it all again next season?! @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave @BBCSounds 💖⚽️💖📻

Last Fantasy 606 pod of season 😢 ⁦Title race in the balance going into last 20 mins of Gwk 38 👀 ⁦@LukeKempner⁩ and a few famous voices join us to talk it all through 😉 And it’s Right Said Spud as ⁦@PageSpud⁩ sings us out 🥔 #FPL bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@Simonpaulprice @alibruceball @LukeKempner Haha - fair enough 🙂 But you're doing the songs next season then!

@alibruceball @LukeKempner @PageSpud Lovely pod chaps, but that Spud guy is overrated. You’re better than that.

@Iandennisbbc @alibruceball @LukeKempner @chris_sutton73 @hipaulgorton Looks like being a crunch battle between you and me, Denno - a "relegation 6-pointer" to see which of us will avoid "the trapdoor" and which will stay "rooted to the bottom"...!

@alibruceball @LukeKempner @chris_sutton73 @hipaulgorton @PageSpud Should try finishing above anyone… 😝

Fantasy 606 h2h Div 1 Gwk 36 @LukeKempner just 1 point away from the big prize having lost the title on the last day of last season 🫣 V. tense relegation battle - Gwk 37 sees @chris_sutton73 vs @hipaulgorton and @Iandennisbbc vs @PageSpud 💥 #FPL

@IanRowly38 @alibruceball @horrorsofficial @StatmanDave @chris_sutton73 That's amazing news - well done mate! 👍

@alibruceball @horrorsofficial @StatmanDave @chris_sutton73 Another great pod! @chris_sutton73 - please don't leave! You 3 have helped me through the last few months of surgery & chemo with your wit & banter. I got to "ring the bell" yesterday! 🔔 Wissa Captain for me this week- sorry @alibruceball !!

Faris Badwan ⁦@horrorsofficial⁩ is our guest - he knows his #FPL and he knows his football….wait until you hear his first answer in Sutton Death 💥 Who to captain in Gwk 36? 🤷🏻‍♂️ ⁦@StatmanDave⁩ & ⁦@chris_sutton73⁩ will tell you 👍🏻 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave How bizarre that @alibruceball (who does not have immunity) and @StatmanDave (who excommunicated himself from the division) voted for Sutton's immunity, but @chris_sutton73 didn't! Incomprehensible! 😂

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave - Vote on this: If Chris Sutton finishes RANK LAST of Div1, he surely MUST be relegated. The fact that this part of Tim's email was never even DISCUSSED shows us that Mr Sutton is F606's "Big Brother": Untouchable, unyielding, and unjust

@RobertoHollis9 @alibruceball @StatmanDave @chris_sutton73 Haha - thanks mate! I'm working on it! 🎵😅

I love this podcast so much 😍🤣 Side splitting entertainment by @alibruceball @StatmanDave @chris_sutton73 😂 I look forward to your season highlights compilation @PageSpud after Gameweek 38, there’s been so many funny quotes and moments throughout this campaign’s #Fantasy606!

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave George Orwell, 1984

@alibruceball @chris_sutton73 @StatmanDave "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship"

@alibruceball @SamanthaQuek @chris_sutton73 People's Pep Tim clearly asked the Pod to vote on TWO topics: 1) Chris plays solo & 2) "No more exemption from relegation" (17:13). Why was motion #2 not voted on? I propose a new rule that if Chris finishes in 20th (rank bottom - even below me!) he be relegated! #CloughLove

What is Clough without Taylor? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Ollie Watkins a target with Rashford out but don’t make early moves this week 🙅🏻‍♂️ And it’s 17-all in Sutton Death with 5 games to play so up steps ⁦@SamanthaQuek⁩ to take on ⁦@chris_sutton73⁩ 💥 #FPL bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@jb181076 @alibruceball @SamanthaQuek @chris_sutton73 The specific category was "any sport from the Olympics at Paris 2024" - so sulky Sutton did indeed deserve to lose 😂

@alibruceball @SamanthaQuek @chris_sutton73 Bowles was an Olympic sport at Seoul 1988 as a demonstration event - @chris_sutton73 was robbed again.

@alibruceball @hughesmegan @LukeKempner @Iandennisbbc @FanalyticsPod FINALLY A WIN!

Fantasy 606 h2h Div 1 Gwk 28 @hughesmegan & @LukeKempner both 9 pts ahead of the field Megan was runner-up in 2022/23, Luke the same in 2023/24 - both have unfinished business! @Iandennisbbc drops into bottom 3 after losing relegation 6-pointer vs @FanalyticsPod #FPL

@alibruceball @hughesmegan @LukeKempner @joe__sant @chris_sutton73 Thought I'd had an OK week for once, and then found I'd been drawn against the highest-scorer with a whopping 156 points. Can't catch a break!

Fantasy 606 h2h Div 1 Gwk 24 An 8th win in 9 games for table-topping @hughesmegan to maintain her 6-point lead over @LukeKempner Top score of 156 from Jonathan Woodgate 💥 @joe__sant brings 11-game losing streak to an end against his old adversary @chris_sutton73 #FPL
