Hello everyone.

2

:

Before I start this episode today,

I just would like to say that I am

3

:

apologizing in advance that this episode

has been, uh, delayed by the airing I.

4

:

And that a lot of the predictions and

everything like that, that I'm about

5

:

to say is already after the game.

6

:

However, I've still gone down

with everything that I've written.

7

:

If you, uh, probably thinking

of how I'm standing right now,

8

:

I am pretty wrecked close.

9

:

I dunno.

10

:

I'm doing nine days in a row.

11

:

I've done seven already.

12

:

And I do 12 hour shifts.

13

:

So that's just a little bit of my

backstory of my day-to-day job.

14

:

I will not bore you any further.

15

:

I'll start the intro music and

we'll get on with the show.

16

:

Apologies for the inconvenience.

17

:

Hello everyone and welcome to RBL Talk.

18

:

On today's show, we have some club news.

19

:

We recap the lackluster Neil Nil

draw against SV word of Bremen,

20

:

our preview match, day 34 in the

Bundesliga against the VFB Stuttgart,

21

:

the final game of the R rda.

22

:

We'll go over play watch injury list

predictions, the RBL talk segment

23

:

with your listener input on the

show, and much more in this episode.

24

:

In Club News for this episode, RB Leipzig

prepared to offload four star players.

25

:

Following a disappointing 24 25

campaign, RRB Leipzig could be set for

26

:

a major squad overhaul this summer.

27

:

According to kicker Di Rotten Bullen

opened offers for four of their key

28

:

players, chubby Simmons, Benjamin

sco, Castello Leba, and Louis Penda.

29

:

Luzi only made Simmons loan from

Pa Para Saint Jame permanent.

30

:

In January, but the Dutchman could be

on the move again if the price is right.

31

:

A fee in the region of 80 million

Euro would likely be enough to lu

32

:

him away from the Red Bull arena.

33

:

Sesco Leba and O Penda are all understood

to have a release clause ranging

34

:

between 80 and 90 million Euro currently

sitting at seventh in the Bunger table.

35

:

Le Zg are on course to miss

out on European qualification.

36

:

However, if they collect more points than

mines on the final match day, they will

37

:

leapfrog them into sixth place and secure

a spot in the UFA Roper Conference League.

38

:

Sky Report Wagner turns down Hoffenheim

job in favor for another Bunes Liga Club.

39

:

Sandra Wagner has turned down the

opportunity to sum back to Hoffenheim

40

:

as a coach according to Sky Germany.

41

:

Instead, Wagner has seemingly decided

to manage another Bunes Liga Club.

42

:

The likes of Lekuton, Wolfsburg and

Leipzig are rumored to be very interested

43

:

in his signature for next season.

44

:

I would like to take the next

step in the short to medium term.

45

:

I've never made a secret of wanting

to become a head coach myself at

46

:

some point is what the former Bunger

Striker said when he announced his

47

:

departure from the national team

48

:

after the upcoming Nations League final.

49

:

I.

50

:

The 37-year-old has been highly

praised for his work as assistant

51

:

manager to Julian Gelman in recent

months and during the:

52

:

His closeness and understanding for the

plays seems to be one of his strengths.

53

:

I.

54

:

New options for RB Lab Zgs.

55

:

Former Wonder Striker Timo Werner's

loan contract with Tottenham.

56

:

Hot Spur ends after the season

and his contract would then

57

:

see him return to RB lab Zg.

58

:

However, because there is no room

for the discarded striker, the search

59

:

for a new club is in full swing.

60

:

He's said to want to stay in England.

61

:

Reports the online portal talk

bought naming two possible buyers.

62

:

The Speedy Attacker spent

his first spell at Chelsea FC

63

:

before returning to RB Lo Zg.

64

:

Now he's playing for Tottenham,

his second London club.

65

:

He's clearly con connected to

English capital and he's said to

66

:

be keen to continue playing there.

67

:

But where talk sports sites,

Fulham FC, who were 11th and a

68

:

West Ham United, who were 15th as.

69

:

Potential buyers.

70

:

Both clubs are in the mid

table of the Premier League

71

:

German International Striker.

72

:

Nicholas Fru has yet to fully

establish himself at Westham.

73

:

After leaving Boria Tand, he could

be an interesting German speaking

74

:

strike partner for Timo Werner.

75

:

However, the report doesn't provide

any further details regarding

76

:

contract between the clubs four.

77

:

The player, the future of the

former RB Lab top scorer whose

78

:

career has since suffered a vertible

setback, remains uncertain with

79

:

a discussed move to the New York.

80

:

Red Bulls apparently off the table.

81

:

Curiously winner, despite not even being

selected for international matches, can

82

:

win The Roper League from the bench.

83

:

Totten number will face

Manchester United in the final.

84

:

The title would also be his

Jew as part of the squad.

89

:

Now it's time to recap the SB Worder

Bremen game, starting with the good,

90

:

the bad, and the ugly with the good.

91

:

We cleared our lines well with

39 clearances for the game.

92

:

One more challenges, 78% to 69%.

93

:

Recovered the ball well

with 50 recoveries.

94

:

Build up.

95

:

Play was good and promising.

96

:

Had plenty of shots.

97

:

16 in total with nine at around 56% shots

that were inside the Wooda Breman box.

98

:

And what we did bad, the ugly, the final

pass was horrid wasting chances to create,

99

:

which we missed, our only big chance.

100

:

Only one big chance from a 16 attempts.

101

:

One offside by Louis Penda gave

away 13 free kicks from 13 fouls.

102

:

Three bookings, all yellow cards,

including Lucas Klosterman, which sees

103

:

him miss the final game against the

sabians, beaten in the contest, lost at

104

:

ground dues, 33 to 24 and aerial 12 to 11.

105

:

Poor form set pieces, again,

including our four corners.

106

:

And what we did really wrong.

107

:

The ugly zero crosses

accurate of eight, attempted.

108

:

We just really can't seem to cross the

ball properly these days and attitude.

109

:

We let word of Bremen dominate us.

110

:

We should have shown

more out on the pitch.

111

:

Three things we learned.

112

:

VSV, worder Breman.

113

:

This team doesn't wanna play in Europe.

114

:

The whole side just looked

like they were not interested.

115

:

No urgency to secure all three points.

116

:

Conference league is not good

enough for RBL to keep players.

117

:

Two SV word Bremen were unlucky

to not get back into European Club

118

:

competition after a lengthy hiatus.

119

:

They were the better side on the

day number three, the 25 20 16 ufa

120

:

Conference League final being played

in the Red Bull Arena next season.

121

:

It looks like the plan all along

was to play conference league,

122

:

and it's a real possibility if

mines do lose to buy Levien.

123

:

And now for the detailed summary.

124

:

In recap, player Watch plays

were Mitchell Weiser for SV Wea

125

:

Breman and Chubby Simmons for RBL.

126

:

Mitchell Weiser played 88 minutes, had

94 touches three in the RBL Box, made 40

127

:

of 54 passes and accuracy rating of 74%.

128

:

Two of those were key passes.

129

:

He attempted six crosses, only one

came off, attempted five long balls,

130

:

which four came off, created one

big chance, had three successful

131

:

dribbles, one, seven, or 13 grand

drills with a success rate of 53.8%.

132

:

One.

133

:

One of one aerial dues committed,

one foul as was foul twice.

134

:

Made two clearances, one interception,

two tackles and dribble past four times.

135

:

According to the one football

app, he had a match rating of 5.9.

136

:

However, I would rate him around 7.3.

137

:

As with the OR band did not play.

138

:

Backup player watch was Chubby Simmons

Chubby played the full 90 minutes,

139

:

had 79, touches eight in the word.

140

:

A box made 42 of 51 passes

with an accuracy of 82%.

141

:

Two of those were key passes,

attempted four crosses, zero,

142

:

accurate attempted three long balls.

143

:

Two were accurate, made five

shots, three were blocked, one

144

:

on target and one off target.

145

:

Attempted six dribbles

and only completed two.

146

:

One five of 11 ground duels

at a success rate of 45.45%.

147

:

One.

148

:

One of one aerial jewels.

149

:

Lost possession 18 times was FO twice.

150

:

Made one clearance, one

tackle, and was dribbled past.

151

:

Once.

152

:

According to the one football

app, he had a match rating of 5.7.

153

:

However, I would rate him around 7.5.

154

:

Despite extending their unbeaten run

to seven straight league games, worder

155

:

Breman struggled to crack RB 11 six

defense code in the frantic and nal draw

156

:

at the West Stadion subsequently ending

their pursuit for European football.

157

:

After Worder, Breman blew a two lead

away to Union Berlin the week before.

158

:

Last, 2, 2, 2, draw.

159

:

Their late bid for European football

took a major hit, but they were presented

160

:

with a huge opportunity to move closer

to the top six in the final weeks.

161

:

I.

162

:

With the sixth place RBL, making the

trip up to the west of Stadion with

163

:

just three points separating them

from RBLs coveted sixth position.

164

:

The host came flying outta the blocks

as Marvin Dage force Peter Gache

165

:

into an early save before Romano.

166

:

Schmidt dragged his shot

wide of the left post.

167

:

The Red Bull's response was inevitable

with their trademark and Gagan pressing.

168

:

Finally clicking into gear as Chavy

Simmons and Christoph Bam gardener

169

:

began threatening Breen's back line.

170

:

However, both sides ended up

sharing spoils at the back.

171

:

However, both sides ended up sharing

spoils at the break and given the

172

:

visitors' recent record of scoring

after the interval in five of their

173

:

last seven matches, the promise

of goals hung thick in the air.

174

:

Following the restart, the home side

immediately began knocking on the door

175

:

of live six's goal as gci once again

denied Dage, but the Hungarian stopper

176

:

palmed the ball back into the danger zone.

177

:

However, he was spared thanks to Costa

and Kovich brilliant last ditch clearance.

178

:

The hit Gache drill escalated as

the goalkeeper brittley tipped

179

:

another header into safety before

Nicola Sward rattled the crossbar.

180

:

With a stinging shot from distance at the

other end, an end-to-end confrontation

181

:

ensure that Z Luv ultimately had his

shot stopper to thank for winning a

182

:

backbreaking point away in Bremen.

183

:

Di Rotten Bullen have now failed to score

in six of their last seven away league

184

:

outings making this their fourth winless

game on the Trot Ola Warners men taste

185

:

a huge blow in their pursuit of securing

a European finish, but it will be lob zg

186

:

who hurt the most as the day they fall

out of the top six with the stalemate

187

:

players and RBO officials spoke

to the media after the game.

188

:

This is what they had to say.

189

:

Christ Baumgartner.

190

:

A dream has been shattered.

191

:

Nobody is happy with the point we just

spoke to the Austrian from Bremen.

192

:

At the end of the day, a point means

just as little to them as it did to us.

193

:

Now we know for sure that we won't be

playing in the Champions League next year.

194

:

That is of course,

extremely disappointing.

195

:

It was a bit symmatic that

it was Neil Nil again.

196

:

That was the eighth game of the season.

197

:

That was exactly where

we dropped the points.

198

:

I think the Neil Nil shows that every

player gives their all, gives it their,

199

:

all defends with everything they have.

200

:

Of course, we were lucky to.

201

:

In a few situations, but it also

shows that we are missing something

202

:

somewhere, A certain ease, a

certain, well, I don't know.

203

:

In the end it is just little things.

204

:

I think we still had

a chance or two today.

205

:

One of them has to go in.

206

:

I.

207

:

And then you win a game

like this by a landslide.

208

:

Now we have to pull ourselves together

again and give it our all again.

209

:

We owe that to the fans too.

210

:

We want a good finish.

211

:

There's still a chance of qualifying

for Europe, and of course we want

212

:

to seize it, but the disappointment

right now is of course, enormous.

213

:

Peter gci we're extremely disappointed.

214

:

The game was incredibly important,

and we didn't deliver the

215

:

performance you need for that match.

216

:

I think that's a reflection

of the whole season.

217

:

We show our quality now and then

in those moments you can see our

218

:

potential, but the consistency

in our game is simply not there.

219

:

Today, there were a few moments

where you could see, wow, bang, bang.

220

:

Now we are really, really

going forward with the quality.

221

:

But then there were also

moments where we lost the ball

222

:

for reasons you can't explain.

223

:

And that's been our theme all

season, I think Masal Shaer, the

224

:

Rrb Lab, six sporting director.

225

:

Considering that everything was at stake

today for both teams, nearly international

226

:

business for us, and our goal of the

Champions League, then unfortunately

227

:

you saw once again what we are missing.

228

:

This is more of a confirmation of the

thoughts we already had and still have.

229

:

That we are not playing the kind of

football we need to even compete for

230

:

Champions League places, let alone

qualify for the Champions League.

231

:

When you watch today's game, you

have to say, if you are honest with

232

:

yourself that we don't deserve it.

233

:

A performance like that is

not worthy of Champions League

234

:

contender, even every single player.

235

:

The team, and we as a club naturally have

the absolute goal of making it there.

236

:

We once again left too

many things lacking today.

237

:

That's why we are rightfully where we are.

238

:

We didn't take advantage of

the few opportunities we had.

239

:

Nonetheless, we had enormous

opportunities, power plays,

240

:

counter attacks, which we simply

sloppy squandered in midfield.

241

:

Were in the final third, and

that's what we're simply missing.

242

:

Angela Lu, our BL manager, I took

over as interim coach with the goal

243

:

of reaching the Champions league.

244

:

When I started, we were all aware

of our remaining schedule and our

245

:

options for achieving that goal.

246

:

I think we did everything we could

last week to make that possible.

247

:

And today it's clear

that we didn't manage it.

248

:

That's obviously very disappointing.

249

:

Now it's time for a day or

two of recovery, and then our

250

:

full focus is on Stuttgart.

251

:

We have to try to finish the

week well and still finish.

252

:

Fifth, why wasn't we achieved that goal?

253

:

I think we've performed well in certain

phases of the game in recent weeks, but

254

:

we have managed to deliver consistently

good performances for 90 minutes.

255

:

That was one point.

256

:

Point two was chasing the

Champions League under pressure.

257

:

The pressure on the players was huge.

258

:

I saw that they weren't really playing

football with freedom and enjoyment.

259

:

We were afraid of losing something,

of not achieving something.

260

:

We were able to alleviate some

of this fear, but we weren't

261

:

able to do it consistently.

262

:

The best players for Word at Breman

were Marvin Dage, Oliver Burke,

263

:

Mitchell Weiser, Romano Schmid and

Moss Piper and Michael Zentner.

264

:

Best players for RBL were Bu Costa

and Kovich Costello and Leba.

265

:

Arthur Vermin, chubby Simmons,

and my man of the Match.

266

:

Peter gci.

267

:

And now for a suspension

and injury list update.

268

:

Lucas Klosterman was shown his

fifth yellow card of the season in

269

:

the match against word of Bremen.

270

:

The defendant is therefore suspended

for the final league game against VFB

271

:

Stuttgart, David Ram and Captain Campbell.

272

:

Mr.

273

:

Game in Breman with suspension.

274

:

They'll both be available

to face Stuttgart.

275

:

Well, the OR band muscular

problems has been back into

276

:

partial team training recently.

277

:

He was not yet ready to

feature against Bremen.

278

:

However, the plan is for our

captain to return to full training

279

:

this week and to be an option

for the meeting with Stuttgart.

280

:

Xavier Schlager with the left

thigh injury is being regenerated

281

:

in after his long-term injury has

started taking part in some of the

282

:

team training for the first time.

283

:

Again, Amadou Hira has suffered a

medial collateral ligament injury

284

:

and will miss the rest of the season.

285

:

The midfielder will be available for the

start of the 25 26 preseason training.

286

:

And Benjamin Henricks as a torn

achilles tendon is working on his

287

:

comeback in lab zg and will be available

towards the start of next season.

288

:

And now on to previewing

the VFB Stu Guard game.

289

:

The European places are heating up with

top four already finalized from an RBL

290

:

perspective as we'll not be playing

in the Euro for Champions League.

291

:

We can however, get into the conference

league if we win, but this depends on

292

:

mines losing to buy Levi Cus And on the

final match day our opponent's VFB Stut

293

:

Guard had nothing to play for in terms

of European football club competition,

294

:

but can spoil di rotten bullens chance

of playing in a European club competition

295

:

for the eighth season in a row.

296

:

RBL will be without Lucas Klosterman, who

is suspended along with injured players.

297

:

Amadou Hira Benjamin Henricks

with question marks around Xavier

298

:

sch Slugger and Willie Orban.

299

:

Depending on team training as

if they make it, they will be

300

:

in the extended match day squad.

301

:

The Ians will be without Amin, er

Dan Axel Alba Tore Finn j Leonard.

302

:

Stir goo.

303

:

I've probably said that wrong.

304

:

I do apologize.

305

:

And Luca Ryman with question

marks around Yannick Ketel who is

306

:

returning from a hamstring injury.

307

:

We have played the wildin twice this

season, losing both times two, one

308

:

on match day 17 and three one in the

semifinal, the DFP Pau in which they made

309

:

the final and will be facing arm mini

biofield eight days later in the capitol.

310

:

Some interesting match.

311

:

Facts leading to this game are

RBL have scored seven goals

312

:

in their last five matches.

313

:

RBL haven't lost two VFB

Stuttgart in the Red Bull arena.

314

:

RBL have scored 10 goals

in their last five matches.

315

:

VFB Stuttgart have won the previous

three matches against rb Loeb, ZG.

316

:

And if mines a win against bio lein and or

we fail to win against VFB Stuttgart, RBL

317

:

will be left empty handed in Europe for

the first time in our Punes Legal history.

318

:

A draw could settle it if mines a lose,

but I wouldn't want to hope for that.

319

:

Play Watch for both sides will be for RBL.

320

:

Peter Gache.

321

:

The Hungarian wool is ranked

third in saves per match in

322

:

the competition, averaging 3.4

323

:

per game.

324

:

He's going to be pivotable if

we play in the conference league

325

:

next season for VFB Nick Altima.

326

:

Nick has scored both times this season

against RBL and you'll feel that he

327

:

can help the club make history on

he final day of the Rwanda of:

328

:

What I'd like to see in this match with my

lineup, some desire to win and urgency to

329

:

solidify a European Club competition spot.

330

:

We didn't look like we even wanted to

be out on the pitch against Bremen.

331

:

A real half-assed showing with

players looking uninterested,

332

:

expecting a few to leave.

333

:

Come season's.

334

:

End.

335

:

My lineup will be a 4, 2 2 2 2.

336

:

No changes for the usual

formula of Red Bull football.

337

:

Peter Gache starts in goal preparing

for a no will the all band back

338

:

David Ram starts after coming back

from suspension at left back sender.

339

:

Backs of lt, LB SHA and ELA Le Caber

roof Tic Keytruda out right back.

340

:

Nicholas Sward and Arthur in the

central defense of midfielder roles.

341

:

Chavy Simmons on the left with

Antonio Osa starting on the

342

:

right, replacing BA Gardner.

343

:

Yusef Paron starts for Lewis App

Pender, who'll come on at some point.

344

:

Andy Strike partner is our top scorer.

345

:

Benjamin Sesco.

346

:

For predictions three, two win.

347

:

As with the UFA Conference League

final being played in our stadium

348

:

next year, it's looking poised at

that secretly behind the scenes.

349

:

The club wanted this all along for

our first European trophy, albeit an

350

:

easy one and a home stadium final.

351

:

It's a win-win for owners Red Bull.

352

:

Louis app Pender will get himself offside.

353

:

That's a joke.

354

:

Don't worry about that one.

355

:

But Galachy will keep us in the game and

something special will happen on the day.

356

:

But what remains to be seen, most

likely something from Chavy Simmons.

357

:

I.

358

:

However, if we don't show up on the day,

I think that Scoreline will actually be

359

:

reversed and be a three two loss for RBL.

360

:

As we've gotten ourselves in a position

where we are relying on other results and

361

:

the team just hasn't looked like they've

been interested in the last month or so.

362

:

And now it's time for

the RBL talk segment.

363

:

Remember, you can be a part of the

show too with the RBL talk segment.

364

:

You can even come on the

show as a special guest.

365

:

The way you do this is by interacting

with us on Spotify social media such

366

:

as X, or email in at show@rbltalk.com.

367

:

More information in detail on

how to get involved with the

368

:

show for free in the show notes.

369

:

We have a lot to get through in this

RBL talk segment, which is always good.

370

:

I always enjoy everyone's involvement,

so please keep those submissions coming.

371

:

This show would be nothing without

each and every one of your listeners.

372

:

The first is from Zachary Coopersmith

from X, and there's a few here from

373

:

X, so we'll start with them first.

374

:

Honestly spineless, we weren't poor.

375

:

But for a club essentially needing

a win to come out like today and

376

:

to just continue to slip at the

vital moment is truly disheartening.

377

:

I see where you're coming

from there, Zachary.

378

:

It is very disheartening and it's

tough being an RBL fan lately.

379

:

I can say that much, and it's

quite obvious that US fans that

380

:

have been around the block have.

381

:

Really coming to our wits end, and we're

probably gonna be sighing a big sigh of

382

:

relief come the end of the season, but

that's just the end of football season.

383

:

There's still a lot that the club

needs to do to get ready for preseason.

384

:

I think that we are honestly spineless.

385

:

You've said it pretty well there.

386

:

And by that I mean we

don't have any discipline.

387

:

We don't have any real leaders or

anything out on the pitch at the moment.

388

:

It's just a lot of talented individuals.

389

:

Just trying to play football

and just trying to get results.

390

:

But the problem with the Red Bull

philosophy is that we get players early.

391

:

We sell them on, and then we don't

have players to play in the squad

392

:

together and learn from each other.

393

:

We get some cohesion a little bit

when you have certain players that

394

:

have been around for quite some time.

395

:

Think Klosterman Orban, round Gache.

396

:

And a few others.

397

:

Yusef P, and we can't forget him, but

when you bring in all these new players

398

:

and you get rid of core players in the

team like Xavier Schlager, he's been

399

:

injured unfortunately, and Willie all

been at the back end of the season.

400

:

We just have no leaders on the

pitch to organize everyone and

401

:

everyone just seems running around

like they dunno what they're doing.

402

:

They really need that player to give

them that positioning to keep them

403

:

in their right position in buildup

play, and in including in defense.

404

:

Aruba Scuba also from X says our

offense was just very poor today.

405

:

Thankfully, our defense was amazing.

406

:

Just glad we somehow didn't lose.

407

:

It's always good when

we can not lose a game.

408

:

As we've had a fair few losses this

year that really should have been

409

:

avoidable, but normally it's our

defense that has been quite poor.

410

:

Yes, we've had Peter Gache have a

really fantastic season in goal,

411

:

but when you look at the rest of the

players out there from the back four.

412

:

Onwards.

413

:

There's a lot are left to be desired.

414

:

There's not too many players that

can hold their heads up high for

415

:

playing a really good season.

416

:

One comes to mind is El El Shabu, even

though he got get himself suspended.

417

:

He's been a real good standout

season and I hope we do manage

418

:

to keep him for a long term.

419

:

Baum from X says they should finish sixth

place, which is pretty much the best

420

:

that they could have gotten in this.

421

:

Inconsistency even with old players

such as Campbell and the team.

422

:

Did you know the 2026 UFO Champions

League final will be in the final match

423

:

of the 25 26 UF Conference League, the

fifth season of Europa's Territory Club

424

:

football tournament organized by ufa.

425

:

And the second season since it was

renamed from the UFO Europa Conference

426

:

League to the UFO Conference League, it

will be played in the Red Bull Arena in

427

:

lab Zg, Germany on 27th of May, 2026.

428

:

Could you buy every RBL talk

listener tickets for the final?

429

:

If there are no English teams in the

tournament next season, many will

430

:

consider this to be a fairytale where

live zg must reach this European

431

:

final and win the European trophy.

432

:

Even though live zg shouldn't be

in conference league, being in

433

:

this for one season could be a

low key way of winning a trophy.

434

:

Thank you Justin, for letting me

share my thoughts for the podcast.

435

:

Episode Draw to Brien was depressing,

along with seeing a fryberg win.

436

:

A way to kill past this weekend.

437

:

Sorry, there.

438

:

Try to get my voice back there ke were

drawing for some parts of the match.

439

:

This whole season was bad with the buyer.

440

:

Losing Za Alonzo from Pong and

others, they will be weaker.

441

:

So it was up to live.

442

:

Zig as always to compete with Bain.

443

:

Bain could let Harry Ka go back to

England, some say so here is hoping

444

:

German football isn't won by fc by

every season as a German football lover.

445

:

Trying to be positive in a be pass season.

446

:

A home final could be fun for live

zg in this situation for one season.

447

:

As always, bellum, you have a lot to

go through there, which there is no.

448

:

What's a good wording for this?

449

:

There's no right or wrong.

450

:

RBL talks, segment submission.

451

:

If you have a lot like Baum or you

have little like others, it's okay.

452

:

We'll go through every single thing

and I try not to miss out anything.

453

:

So starting from the top down

bottom, they could finish in sixth

454

:

place, which is pretty much the

best they could have gotten in

455

:

their inconsistency, as you said.

456

:

It says it all in a nutshell there,

even with all players like Campbell

457

:

and the team, we actually need

these players still in the squad.

458

:

Kevin Campbell's probably

on his last legs.

459

:

He's in his mid thirties or

getting to his mid thirties.

460

:

He's.

461

:

Still a great player, but he's not

gonna be able to play for the whole

462

:

entire season and come the end of

the season, we're probably gonna

463

:

have to look to manage the squad

age a little bit with the average

464

:

age being quite high at the moment.

465

:

I.

466

:

Could I buy every RBL talk

listener tickets for the final?

467

:

That's gonna be tough.

468

:

Obviously, I can't just buy tickets and

send them all that to all my listeners,

469

:

but I do have listeners over almost every

continent, so it's going to be difficult

470

:

to give everyone the ticket and also.

471

:

I don't have that money

unfortunately, either.

472

:

If I did, then I would definitely say

that I would pay for all of us to go see

473

:

there and we could all have a great time.

474

:

However, with no English teams in the

tournament next season, you never know.

475

:

But life said, could win

a first early trophy.

476

:

Obviously we've gotta win the game

next week, but if we don't do that,

477

:

then we're gonna struggle and.

478

:

Even if we did do that and we got into

the Europa Conference League, it's no

479

:

guarantee that we'll go make the final.

480

:

Obviously, that would be the end

goal, but it's never, always an easy

481

:

thing that we're just gonna get.

482

:

Always welcome to have you

letting you share your thoughts.

483

:

Beum for the podcast does not

matter how you go through.

484

:

Like I said, just before.

485

:

The draw to Breen was depressing,

but that's just pretty much

486

:

how RB at Lab Zg football has

been for a fair few months now.

487

:

So it has been quite hard to watch as

someone who wants to be critical, but

488

:

also give us positives as well, because.

489

:

The brain naturally always wants

us to think of the negative, but I

490

:

always try to go for positive first.

491

:

That's why I always start with the

positives when I do my reviews from the

492

:

games, but I don't think we're gonna

be competing with buying next season.

493

:

As you said, uh, as you said,

you're trying to be positive

494

:

in a below past season.

495

:

I don't think that we're gonna be

competing with buy-in for some time.

496

:

We have managed to do that.

497

:

At the start of the year, and we've

done that in some games as well.

498

:

But in the grand scheme of things,

we are so far off top four and we

499

:

are so far off competing with buy-in.

500

:

It's gonna take a lot of work in the

off season from the Red Bull, higher

501

:

ups, and the sporting director, and

Jurg and LOP and everyone else to get

502

:

this team back to where we should be.

503

:

An RL nine Louis fan on Instagram says.

504

:

I wouldn't wish even my worst

enemies to experience this.

505

:

I don't know what to say.

506

:

I don't even know if we are

gonna finish top six or not.

507

:

This season is such a downgrade to

all that we've built in the last

508

:

years to all the success and joy.

509

:

I've only one wish before the

end of the season, the last

510

:

match and get a topex finish.

511

:

Nothing more.

512

:

That is some very heartfelt words there.

513

:

Short and concise and to the point,

and I think that most RBL talk

514

:

listeners and especially RBL Abic fans

who do listen to this podcast, which

515

:

is what we're all about here, that

that's pretty much how we're feeling.

516

:

I can share a similar experience.

517

:

It's been pretty disappointing to

possibly see us go so far below and have

518

:

no European football next season, but.

519

:

Let's not think about that until

we have to think about that.

520

:

But if we try to look on the bright

side of things, let's always go by.

521

:

There's always a first for a reason.

522

:

So there's been some firsts

this season, some firsts that

523

:

I would like us not to have.

524

:

But once you get them outta

the way, you don't have to

525

:

linger over it for any longer.

526

:

The problem is, is if they are

bad firsts, let's not make that.

527

:

Successive and having often.

528

:

I do hope that we do get your wish

and we can get in the top six just

529

:

to play conference league, because

I would like to have some feet

530

:

next season to get into that final.

531

:

Obviously, that's gonna be big

expectations and there's still a lot of

532

:

work to do in the off season to get there.

533

:

But if we can get there, why

wouldn't that be something.

534

:

As always, I'd like to thank the

contributors for their contributions

535

:

to this episode in RBL Talk, all

RBL talk members, and thank you

536
