Welcome to the footy show daily as we continue to try and keep you up to date with everything that's changing in this mad world at the moment and it does seem to change daily, new things getting said, new people coming out and saying things. We've had the likes of Rick Parry and Steve Parish having their say today in different environments. Rick Parry spoke to MPs, I think, in a select committee meeting. I think he's in charge of the football league, isn't he now? Essentially what he said is he basically guaranteed that there will be promotion to the Premier League and relegation from the Premier League this year, which is a massive comfort I imagine to the likes of Leeds and West Brom. God knows how they're going to start their season because there's no actual chat about their season starting yet, which is mad. All the talk is about the Premier League. But he believes that there's going to be a £200 million gaping hole by the time the next season starts because at the moment we're all fixated on finishing this season off but people aren't looking down that road at the moment, so interesting comments from him? Yeah, he's saying that the £200 million financial hole by September, he's targeted a proper reset as he gave evidence to digital culture, media and sports system. He admitted that it was difficult to answer whether clubs would go out of business or not. He says, we'd like to be made stronger and leaner with a proper set of resets post COVID. We are heading for a financial hole of £200 million by the end of September. Clubs are stacking up creditors and there's a great deal of uncertainties. I've asked for everybody to share the pain. We really are having an open book policy and we're going to show the players how deep the pain is. We're absolutely on board with the delight process, obviously the delight in coming in to have a look at everything there. That's the real issue. We keep talking about the Premier League because obviously that's the big news and we're part of the Premier League but the reality is the football league. I don't see any way it can come back because just going through, not just for this season, I mean I don't know from next season but going through the restrictions or the things that we're having to do to try to get these Premier League games done for 20 teams. How can you do that for 91 teams? And the most worrying thing about that is that they're going to be the ones affected most. The Premier League, if it didn't play the games, it would hit them but it wouldn't hit them as hard as it would hit. Obviously League One and League Two teams and obviously Championship it would hit them. I mean we've already spoken about the likes of Leeds that they've budgeted. I mean that's up to them but football is not an exact science. They've put all their eggs in one basket and it's going the way they expected it to go and if that's taken off them then that's going to leave a massive issue. So I find it strange that we're not talking about them enough. That plan isn't out there. I don't know whether it's almost like they're allowing the Premier League to take all the brunt. But when you listen to the neutral ground situation, that's coming from the police and that's coming from the bodies involved. Obviously I'm trying to make it so that these neutral venues are places that aren't smack bang in the middle of cities. You know maybe ones on the outskirts with newer stadiums that they can say the word protect and that's what it feels like what it is protecting in a medical sense isn't it? How would you do that in the lower leagues? Do you know what I mean? Because even if you said we're going to have neutral venues for them and we're going to use say Premier League grounds, how would you do that? I just find that very very strange. 45 matches every week to be able to do it. You can't. We have 45 stadiums with neutral grounds or you know even if you're splitting them over two days you're still having a lot of work to do to try to do it. To me, I don't know how they're going to come up with something that everybody can't. People are always going to be unhappy and rightly so. It's not going to be anybody that, well there might be three Premier League clubs that are quite happy with the relegations crap but in general nobody is going to be perfectly happy or sorry, not everybody is going to be perfectly happy with the outcomes. League one, league two. I don't know. I like a Sunderland. You watch that Sunderland till I die documentary. You see how much money they're losing a year because of the way things have gone. Now okay, the fellow manager reduced it down a bit but it's still 20, 30 million pounds a year or something that they're losing. If you're now saying there's no guarantee they get promoted but there's a point or they're on level points with three other teams in those play-offs spots so they've got an opportunity being in the play-offs. They budget and to get it back into the championship but there's a little bit more money. I just find the very strange that we are a couple of weeks away from having to put a decision out there and there doesn't seem to be any talk either way of what's happening in those divisions which is incredible. Are they just waiting for someone to say this is the trade-off? Will give you, you'll all get a certain amount of money. Do you think they'll be used as the merit system? Where does that money come from though? Because I know Rick Parry said today he's looking for solidarity from the Premier League and that's right because the Premier League is fixated on being finished and I can understand why. Especially if talks behind the scenes will help you out, you're going to have to take the brunt of not playing your games, whether you call it a brunt or not. We'll play the games and we'll pass that money on to you and we'll do what we need to do to make sure that promotion happens, relegation happens and you're all looked after. I just wonder whether that's the trade-off that they're going to play into. They're going to have to, aren't they? I suppose the clubs are just, those clubs will all be at the mercy of what the football league decides, whatever you want to decide. Some clubs might be happy to go and we're happy to finish or whatever. Other clubs will be wanting to get in play-offs and get promoted. But it actually sounds like they're at the mercy of the Premier League, not necessarily the football league, because it is a top-down system, isn't it, by the looks of it. And if the Premier League can't get their house and all, there's no point, isn't there? And that's the worry, I think. Yeah, and we've had, you know, we've had different comments today as well. Steve Parish has said, Jim and Christopher Parish, you know, clubs have got to get behind the neutral venues because that's the least-waste idea, essentially. He says, talking about the bottom three, I said in this meeting that I honestly believe that I will be saying the same thing. I do fear that people aren't looking far enough down the road and seeing the consequences of us not playing. And then the best way to resolve that is to do so competitively. So he's talking about you still got to have relegation. So he's kind of backing up what Rick Parish said. It's the least-waste option. That's the neutral ground thing. That's the territory we're in with life at the moment. Next season in all likelihood, we'll start with neutral grounds, which I think is mad. And I'm sure we'd all like to get back into our stadiums as soon as possible. There will be a distortion of the competition that way round anyway. All the pitches are pretty much the same size and empty stadiums and empty stadium. I think it'll be a level playing field from when we start. As with any season, there'll be bumps and idiosyncrasies. You can have injuries, blah, blah, blah. Luck plays a part and I'm sure most clubs will now have a fully fit squad on its swings and roundabouts. So he's just saying people don't fully understand the situation within. If we don't restart playing games, clubs will go to the ball. But the problem is though, right? When he says that, I don't know whether he's throwing my people within the game or people outside the game. But people don't both. But we said this a couple of times on this show is that we are clearly not getting the full picture on this as football fans. It feels like they're not telling us that financially we're not getting sold. I think financially this is a lot worse than we're being let to believe. And I think what actually happened is they never came out at the beginning and fully understood. I don't know whether they did or they didn't. When a lot of teams and everything did this, come out straight away and some of them were like, we're not fair low on anybody. I think they should have got together beforehand as football, as the Premier League, and come out and made decisions together. Because I think by a couple of them going out and fair low and everyone else going, we'd never do that and we were one of those clubs. I think they've backed themselves into a corner now where they can't do that. And as it goes on, some of them might be looking over their shoulder now going, do you think they should have done from a business perspective?  Fair low actually is a socialist thing if you think about it, so that doesn't really matter.  So if you're looking at a business, if we employed five staff here, and we were listening, the only way to get us through the next few months is that we're all going to be fair low. And we're going to this government scheme, then you would do it because that's dragging you through down the line. I've got no problem with fair lowing, it needs to be done, people would be on the dole otherwise and it would be a strain in another way, so it wouldn't really make a difference. So Everton come out and fair low the staff, you'd be OK with it? No, but I think the problem is, and this is what I'm saying, is the staff on the start, football clubs went their own way and they never got together and said, I think what should have happened may be now looking at it, is that football clubs should have... Do you think they all should have fell out? No, no, what I'm saying is, I think they've all jumped in, right, with two feet without talking to each other and grasping the larger situation of. So I think Steve Parash might have made a point today where he said, why should we be getting paid for a product that we're not putting out? And I think the talk, that's not now, that's August when you start again. People don't fully understand just how bad the situation we will be in if we at least don't try and get the game done, which is what we've said on me anyway. We've got to try and bring a lot of people with us to do that, not least the players. The players not only have to be safe, they have to feel safe and we need to explain to them how we will make that environment as safe as we possibly can and remove any unnecessary risks. A lot of work and planning needs to go into it, we will get there, the environment will almost decide if we can do it. If we can't, it's very likely this will look the same as it does now in August and September. Because what does no difference? All of the things we're talking about, neutral grounds, et cetera, will all still be present next year. It's going to be a very different product. Right, hang on, cos you get on to it. We already know that was seriously damaged. We've got no crowds. The sponsorship market is largely gone, which is scary. There is no food or hospitality revenue. The only thing we will have left for some time is the broadcast revenue. This product will look very different. Right now we have no visibility past August for any revenue. It's a serious situation for football. It cannot come in front of what's going on because the public health crisis is the absolute priority for this country, but this is going to be an incredibly significant week for the future of football. This is what I'm saying, is that I think that when they've come out at the beginning and some of them have failed out and some of them have pushed the chest out and said we're not going to fail out, I think really, in hindsight, they should have had that meeting where they should have got round the table, a Zoom table, and come to a group decision on things like fail-own and actually put them out at the beginning and said At the moment we're not going to be failing, we're going to look after our staff, but they might become a point where we might have to do this because as businesses, and this is why I'm saying as a league because barely situation is a lot worse, is a lot different worse than Man City situation, but by some teams, and we've seen this already, we've played our part in this, you're making some teams look like bad guys without fully understanding the situation, because we don't and we're still not being told the situation. It's dead easy for us to sit here and say, oh, just null and void and it doesn't matter. Steve Parish has given you a serious look into football and saying, there might not be any footy compact starters because we ain't got a product, so why would TV companies pay us? And he's absolutely right. What's that happens in June will be exactly the same what happens in September. Nothing will change. If there's no vaccine, which there won't be in September. But we'll have four months more education about it. But there's no vaccine. It doesn't matter about anything else. If there's no vaccine. I watched a professor yesterday saying this could add a flare up again or burn out like a fire. No, but they're not going to play games out. They're not going to play games out of vaccine now because Dean Smith's come out today. Well, that's the argument though, isn't it? They're not going to play games. They're not going to play games in front of the crowd. No, no. Sorry. Sorry. Don't you mind? No, no. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. What's dead interesting is Dean Smith come out today and he's spoken and he said, I'm not going to have two of my plays. He said, one's got asthma. And he said the other one has got a relative who I think he said in remission who lives with them. He said, I can't play those two plays. Now, this is what I'm saying. It's like these are the things that you don't get told as football clubs. No, like I don't know how many players I've got asthma. But we remember when we had Dele Feir. Dele Feir's got asthma. No one said the way. No one, but you could tell sometimes. But you could tell sometimes in his performances how he was struggling. I know, but that's the thing. This is the thing about football in general. If everyone would have come out then at that time and gone, do you have that Dele Feir who has asthma? I think some fans would have given a lesser of a rough ride. You look at someone going. It's not even fit. That's what I say. But isn't that almost exposing your play? Isn't that almost letting the opposition know you've got a weakness? But it doesn't matter. No, but that's got it. He's got it. That's football. He can't exasperate. When I was a kid and I was playing...  Don't let them know you've got a weakness. No, I know. But that's what I feel about football as a whole at the moment. It doesn't want to let down the hysteria of where the premier league is.  And I just think they've backed themselves.    What they've done is they've backed themselves into a corner with the...  At the beginning, getting over this situation and saying... Because again, it's that... Do you know what the problem is? If they'd have come out immediately at the meeting, come out and gone, we're going to be fair low unlike every other big business because we have to. As a league. Because our finances are dictated by playing games and by the television. Everyone, I think, would have gone, yeah, all right.  And it kicked off because it got out into the papers that they were going to be fair low. And also, they were asking every member of staff by Daniel Levy and the players to take a 20% pay cut. If Daniel Levy would have come out and gone, club wide, players, staff, me, the dinner lady, whatever. We're all having to take a 20% pay cut because that'll protect Tottenham Hotsware Football Club and it'll protect the members of the staff and everything. I think people would have been more understanding with it. Right? And with the whole thing, like you're saying, with the finances. You're right. Three teams, three or four teams come out and fail out. And everyone else was like, we're not doing it. And then people start going, hang on. So you don't need to fail out your staff. So you've got loads of money. You like to use your knob heads for a fail out one or whatever. Yeah, yeah. When really, if they come out and gone, our finances massively depend on playing football games to just do. We put this thing on. And this, hopefully at the other side, because everyone's talking and I'm a fan believer in it. Football will look totally different. This is going to change football massively. And I hope it changes the nonsense of transfer fees. Because when you've got people come and wages, when you've got people like Steve Parish, who I actually really like. I think he's a great fella. You've got him a chairman of a Premier League football club. Parish are a good Premier League club. They're always in the Premier League. Not really in things that are going down. He's been nosy. And they're a good community club as well. And a good community club. When you've got him coming out going, we might not have a product because I can't forecast next season. That tells you and tells me and tells everybody transfer fees I've got to go. You've got to be smaller, wages have got to be smaller and they have to be a little bit more realistic. I think also though, contract shouldn't be so cast iron in terms of what you're giving people. Because we've had this thing of performance related. What we've had this is we've had players, some people say don't take a wage cut. You don't know where it's going. Now I know, and whether you agree with or you don't agree with it, I think what you just said there, the performance related pay. Things like that need to be looked at. But I just think like we were just saying then, is that football came out and it just puffed at its chest and some of them were like, and you're right they were like, some of them were like, we're fair loan and others were like, we're not fair loan. We're better than you, we're better. They should have got themselves out of the table. And what they should have said is probably, this is probably what they should have said is, they should come out and say to them like, that's a Premier League, we're not going to fail anyone. But this might change depending on how long it goes on for. We want to get back playing, but if we can't get back playing and this season has to be called null and void, which they keep on saying, they keep on like, again, they keep on using the media rather than come out and saying things. I think in the last couple of days we started to hear, hear from Chairman now and that's what should have been getting done from the start or from the league, being realistic instead of like being out with a Premier League. It's not going, we're in a completely different world now. They were told they'd be back in three weeks when it got to that. That's what they thought. Well again. They thought they'd be playing in three weeks. But again though, maybe if they hadn't painted themselves into that corner. Because you've got to be realistic about it now and say at some point, if they can't get the season started logistically for the end of the season, then maybe they're going to have to start failing. But that's going to be like a heavy newtain. No, I know. But when faced with losing money or potentially going out of business. See, some clubs have gone. We never said we weren't going to fail out. We just didn't say anything. We just didn't say anything. But some clubs will be like, oh dear me we've said things that we shouldn't have said or whatever. And then those clubs that, well, you know, it just. It can't change. They can have a meeting again and they can come and get a statement. Of course they can, but I just think they're going to press it down to bloody, bloody, bloody. I just don't think they've been very transparent about this whole thing.  So I just think it seems like the Premier League might just be waiting for that. There's a meeting again, isn't there? Friday. But they'll probably be told, I imagine, in that meeting by the government. And then they'll probably latch on to what the government will go. Well, there's going to be. I mean, I said this yesterday, I think. I disagree with lockdown being eased at the moment. Because I think we're starting to see the positive side of lockdown now in terms of the numbers coming through and what they're developing. And I think another period of lockdown would really help. I think personally I'd do six weeks. You might as well go over the top then, wouldn't it? Exactly. Because we've got so far. Why undo the good work? But there might be a couple of things within that which help them kind of get back, I suppose. Because if the tests then and this, that and the other, will enable the football clubs to train again. I think whatever the Prime Minister says or his government says on Thursday, I think they're having another. Is it Thursday? It's Thursday. They've got a meeting on Thursday. It's Thursday to renew it. But it's Sunday to put the strategy out, apparently. OK, so ideally he will say it's lockdown for three more weeks then. We love that every 21 days. Here's the 21 days. So hopefully he says another three weeks and then we can start to do this, this and this. Because if they give you that roadmap, people will look then and go right, OK, so we've got an idea of that and we've got an idea of that. And things are leaking out of the public transport to be masks and things like that to start with. So therefore that will probably allow the football clubs to go back kind of into training. We all know it's going to resume in the middle of June. That's June the 12th is the date. It was the 8th but they pushed it to the 12th because of what's happening. I think... And therefore... I think the problem is, though, is it's not necessarily... Listen, we've heard another thing today. It was a PFA saying 45 minutes and we don't want 45 minutes and a half. I think the problem is... That was one of the things they tried to discuss. I think the problem is is that they all won it back for June 12th, let's say. But they haven't agreed clearly on the... Certainly the neutral grants. That seems to be the biggest... There was neutral grants versus the threat of relegation. Now, Rick Parish is saying there's definitely going to be relegation. So that seems to blow that off the table. Now, you wonder what the Premier League have give up for that. So Parish has come out and said neutral grants is the best we can do. And the police are saying it's going to be neutral grants. And that's why it seems that St George's Park is off the table because they can't secure. Because it's a massive place and I've been very lucky I've been to St George's Park. It's a massive place. There's entry points all over the place. So it's not... It couldn't really be policed because you literally... It's huge. So they're going to have to come to... And I don't know whether that means saying to whoever the three teams are, we will give you extra money. I don't know. But maybe they shouldn't get any extra money. But I don't know. I don't know. There's going to have to be something sorted. But there's still a lot of things that needs ironing out, obviously. But I think if they've got to use the word road mapping their mind as well, and they go to him as well for... It comes up yesterday that 10 grams they want to use. So if they're right, so they've got the grants nailed down. They've got the date nailed down. Now it's about the relegation. It's about how we do it. The only thing which what Steve Parrish has said today, which I find difficult to understand is him saying we'll be in neutral grants for the start of next season, August or September. What happens with all your other fixes then? I'm talking about the football league, the championship. I don't think to him that matters. And I mean that, just for me. That's not his problem. And that's fine, right? Because Palace will be a Premier League club next season. So we'll probably be fair enough, he's not interested. Fine. But if you're a champion-shaped league on League 2, we're talking starting the season in September, then they're not going to play in neutral venues. And why are we playing in neutral venues? Just because it's... We can deep clean them. Or is it to stop fans gathering? To stop fans. And he's kind of saying well, fans aren't really going to gather in August and September because it's not the business end of the season. It's really don't... No, I don't think... I think they just have to put that consideration how you can police a grant. If that's a thing, right? Then the Premier League can come back in September. Because they can do that. Football league, eh? No, that's what I'm saying. No one's talking about the football league. Do you think that if the Premier League clubs came out and were a little bit more honest about how this can affect them and how this will affect them, do you think there'd be more sympathy to start the season from fans? If you would just come out and say, listen, we don't get ourselves sorted and you don't give us a chance to start this. Football for the next three or four years could be very, very different in terms of... No other way, every summer, you want us to buy players, we won't be able to. And the league, because we can't buy good players, will start to suffer because we won't be able to bring... So the product will suffer. And as a fan of a club, you're like, oh, we want this player now. Do you think that that sympathy will be there if they start to relate that to us rather than sort of keeping this Premier League exterior of where the biggest league in the world? Because I think that's where they're suffering at the moment. I still think there's a lot of resistance from people who are just like, no, I'll avoid it, no, I'll avoid it and you get in this conflict. Liverpool fans versus everyone else or whatever.  I can't answer that. Would you rather than come out and say it is, 100 per cent? I don't know whether... While people are dying, numbers they aren't, and it's greatly fallen, I haven't seen today's numbers, so I don't know. But they're going to fall out. But that's good because it means that at last things and measures are actually working. So that makes you feel a little bit safer when you see them numbers dropping. We talked about the rate of infections right now. That's great. So that means that there'll be a little bit more of an appetite. Once they continue to drop, people will go, okay, it feels like we've got a handle on it now. Now I can start to think about other things as well. Of course, I've still got to be careful and social distance and all that. I went past the shop before and just stood right next to each other to what's going on.  If they come out and went, this is the clear and hard facts. If we lose £40 million as Everton, we lose £40 million, we can't buy a play this summer. Loads of Evertonians would go, I want us to play the games then because my football head on I want us to improve. We haven't been good enough this season with that squad. So you're telling me I've got to watch that squad again. They'll all be eating very different circumstances next season. So I think people would be... Not everyone. Loads of people have probably still said, I don't care about football. This is a worrying, scary time. Football's irrelevant to me. And I get that as well. I'm not telling people how to think. But football is a business. It's something we love. I think you said it yesterday that it's... or someone had said it. It's nonsense, but it's the best nonsense. And we buy into it. We love it. Of course, against people's lives, it doesn't mean anything, but we love football. And it affects so many people's lives because there's the amount of people. I've seen the facts yesterday about the top division. It brings in 2.9 billion of something and it goes down. Everything that's top flight does tax wise and employees directly football clubs in the Premier League employed 12,000 people. And then with you in Clube, Matt Stathaf and all that, it's 100,000 people. So that's 100,000 people with a job because of this product. It helps the employment figures. Well, there you go. So it's things like that. But then people are relying on to give their pup food on the table for the family and to feed themselves and so they're not homeless. So there is that, that we have to balance as well. Like, yeah, it feels sometimes a little bit like, oh, it's a game. It's only a game. But there is a real business underneath it. Are we prepared to let 100,000 people become unemployed and then have their own struggles with that? So I think you're right. I think if the football clubs come out and listen, this is how it is. We need to play the games. If we don't play the games, forget buying players. We'll have to sell some players if we can get money for them. Bladi, bladi, because we're reliant on that money. I think next week, if there's something being put out there where you agree with it or not, something is put out there by the government that says, this is how we are going to get back to. A sense of normal life. These are the stages. If, let's say, there's a stage in June, and I imagine this is what they'll be working with. On June the 12th, you as a new normal person over there, if you are in a certain kind of job, you can go back to that job. Oh, we're footballers. We can go back to that job. That's when the Premier League will have that statement out within 15 minutes going. We'll be back on the June 12th. We are covered by this thing. The government minister, one of the sports ministers of the government have already said they want it back. The Premier League clubs will know what the plan looks like. So they can go right. We can factor that into that date. And you're absolutely right on that date. It'll be, we can do this. That fits in with that box. There's the tick. And then football gets its out by saying, we're following what the government. We're not doing anything different than what the busch drive is doing or whatever that's doing. The only difference is, because people don't go lang on, what are the social differences? Well, we're having so many tests a week that we privately sourced. The NHS doesn't need as many of that thing anymore. Or we're not buying the same tests in. We're getting our own one from somewhere else. Templities are being taken. We're doing this. We're doing that. And I think that will be the solution. And realistically, that is different to us as human beings. If you've got something over here that is being, whether you agree with the test and if they're paying for it, so be it. But if they're being tested and monitored, all of them, all of football clubs and then they're coming together and they're being tested. Obviously there's going to be a little element of risk, but their element of risk will be a lot smaller than us going for the kids. And it'll be the first thing that will probably be in terms of the first part is the government say, which will be some workers can go back, but they must have staggered start times. So what the clubs will probably do is go, 60 is coming for training and then another 60 is coming for training and then another six and we're working different places at the same time and you'll all be tested before and then you'll all have heat and thermometers. I think that's the way they'll get round it, but we'll have to wait and see. I just thought it was very interesting today that what they said was what they were saying was actually this is, these businesses will go under and how do you think they, just very quickly, how do you think they get round a reduction from the television companies? Because they're not buying the same product, are they? Do you think they almost after have a trade-off and say you can have another year? Because I know that's been mentioned a few times. It's not the same product. Steve Parris has just said it's football. You mean for next season? Yeah. Because this season, well this season is this season, but for next season, it's a different product. I know, but it's, it's, there's no home training, there's no crowd. But it's already in the contract and I just wonder, that's up, I don't know. The premier might just go, the contract's on me. This is not our fault. And ultimately it isn't their fault. No, no, it's not. So they might just go to the TV companies. You might be getting less of a product, fans, home stadiums, but you're getting more people watching. That's the key. So you can sell out. And you're getting more games. So what you're losing, you're making up for, buy more people going to your YouTube channel. Oh, I didn't subscribe to the Sky Sports YouTube channel. Now I am. Now I start watching all those other videos. Now the ads come on. And they'll, what they'll start, they've got any brains. They'll start putting other shows on. What do you already do? They cut shows up and put them on YouTube.  You get the ads from them. They'll have more games. You'll have ads from them. So there's other ways to see that. Don't forget ultimately, they have the Premier League for people to buy Sky and get eyes on the game. Sky does not care in a way or BT how many people watching individual game. They care about how many people buy the package. What they might do in September or August is go, Premier League football, the only place to see every game this year, every game, is by having a SkyQ box. This is the perfect time to update to SkyQ. We'll give you it for free in Stormont and, but it's £12 next of the month. And everyone goes, yeah, this probably is, because you know why? We've still got measures in place. The cinema's on open. The restaurant's on. Maybe not back open properly. Do you know what? I'll invest in a home entertainment system so I'll go and get SkyQ. These are the things that these people have got to think about. Every game is on Sky. You know what? I'll buy myself a new telly and I'll get SkyQ because I ain't leaving the house. I'm not going to pub. For the match. Yeah, so why wouldn't you? I've saved how much money have I saved with my season ticket? Do you know what I'll do? I'll buy myself a new telly and I'll get SkyQ and it's covered for the season and that's my season and that's the way they've probably got to think about it. You know, YouTube games and I want to watch them on the big telly. YouTube on SkyQ. Oh, I've got all the games on one place now. That's the way to do it, isn't it? That's the way to think about it. And then you can watch our channel on your SkyQ boss. SkyQ boss. On your boss's new telly. There you go. And that's the way you've got to do it. There you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Do you think football clubs should be more honest and open about the finances and how this has affected them all? Bas is already on there. I'm trying to look into them. I'm sure. Now I can get SkyQ. Getting in there. A head of the game. Oh, you're just going to continue like Bas with your hockey box. There you go. Thanks for watching.

Martin Tyler here with you, as usual, and delighted to have the company of Alan Smith. Thank you, Martin. It's a pleasure to be here. And here for you today, Juventus. They play right on the tree. Looking at Juventus these days, you tend to think of it as new Juventus, really. So much glorious history in the past then. That awful spell in the club's history. And now they've remodeled themselves and they look worthy of the name. Yeah, they would have all been relieved to move to that new stadium, which I'm sure the players enjoy playing in much more than the old Stadio del Alpi, which was, let's face it, a bit of a barn, a soulless barn. Pereira. And now he's looking for some support. But in the shot-go! That will change both managers' approach to this game. Really saver for all of us watching. Well, they keep it quite rightly, asking one or two questions of these defenders who didn't react as quickly as the goal scorer. And that has opened the scoring. One-nil here. Seja Ramos. Defenders worried now about Cristiano Ronaldo. Tried to tackle here, and he's done that. Pereira. It's a quick break. Here's the chance. Got to move the ball about there, and our team before creating the chance was really good. They picked the right pass every time now. Oh, a maestro. Just let that ball trumble on into the net. Yeah, he's having a little chuck between himself and he's talking about it out and sure to his teammates. He'll be turning that one. Re-starting at two-nil. Kani Kross. Juventus on the attack. Defender to it first. Pereira. It goes out wide again. No, they look promising there in that wide area, but the defender's done well. Getting into an advanced position, Cristiano Ronaldo. And that is a corner for Ray Almadry. Very close, but the scoreline is still not as close as they need it to be. Well, you can see the disappointment from his teammates. They thought he'd scored there. Well, it's good progress with this attack. Rodriguez. The shot's on! It's a poor shot, really, in the circumstances. He's gone back to the referee to book the offender. He let the play go on. It was good work by the official, but he's quite entitled to book the play now. He's always going to get a yellow for that, wasn't he? It was a silly challenge and, yes, you play advantage, but he's got to be punished for it. Albex. They've cut the pass out there, and maybe that will ease the pressure. They'll need to try and get the ball back now.  Well, the flag's up, and he's frustrated because he is caught offside. Maybe he made his run a bit too soon. Yeah, I mean, they couldn't have scored from it, but you hope that nothing can get caught offside that far. Chance to put it in the box from here. Challenges for the ball. So they can regroup now, had a goal kick. Dani Alves, attacking now Juventus. It's a place to try and hit it now. Probing away, trying to find room for a shot, maybe. He's got support here. Was the hat-trick chance? No, not many times in a season. You do get an opportunity to get the match ball, but that was certainly one of them. Tony Cross. Modric. Real Madrid looking good with this attack. Makes the challenge here. Good tackle. Here's Dani Alves. And we're hearing there will be three added minutes here. Sergio Ramos. Onto Ronaldo. Modric. There goes the whistle for half-time. Juventus, a half-time lead, but it doesn't guarantee anything. Adio Maquicio. Good position. They've worked this attack very well. Into a quite a dangerous position now. Typified the competitive nature of this game, that tackle, it's only a throw in. Adio Maquicio. Ties the through pass. Letting the shot go! Super goal. The best. He's made them play. And that completes a wonderful hat-trick. Maybe that's the one he'll treasure the most, because it's given him the hat-trick. Yep, and he'll be taking home that match ball with a great deal of pride. Comfortable situation here. 3-0, as the game gets underway. Marcello. Time for a substitution. Pascale! He's with themselves and no wonder why they stroke the ball about and created the finish, picked out the spare man in the box. So let's look at the goal for Juventus. The keeper's pulled off a really good save, but that's when he needs the help of these defenders. And we can see a slightly different viewpoint on it. Sergio Ramos getting into an advanced position. Cristiano Ronaldo. Strong challenge. Well, there's going to be a substitution now. Now they've got the ball back. What can they do from here? And it's been an hour of very good football here. We've still got 30 more minutes to go, and I'm sure we're going to enjoy that as well. Now, Dani Alves. Pereira. Here's Alexandro. Short passes, but they're keeping the ball. Off the post! And that's a throw for Juventus. Real Madrid have a substitute getting ready. Fibala. And getting into attacking positions here, Juventus. A lot of defenders between them and the goal, but they still got the ball routine for the keeper. 20 minutes of the 90s still to play. Goalkeeper goes down and comes away with the ball. Well played. Yeah, it was brave goalkeeping. He didn't shirk the challenge, did he? And attacking now, Juventus. Through pass. The shot's on! The ball's loose. A penalty. Well, well... Rashalan, reckless. Yeah, I think so, and it was a poor tackle. It was badly timed. Peter out that attack. It's the goalkeeper's ball quite easily. Real Madrid. He went in well. It was nicely worked until that point when it broke down. And now they've got to try and regain possession. Patience is the name of the game at the moment. Jotong! Wonderful finish! Well, he's not far out, but you've got to be on your toes in these circumstances, and he was... They haven't switched off, Alan, late in the game. They've got another one extending the lead. They're not letting up at all, showing their ruthless side, their play to them. It's Isko. Real Madrid looking good with this attack. Good, strong tackle. This could be a chance. Another shot! Ah, fantastic goal! They went and moved the ball about there, Martin, before creating a chance. It was really good. They picked the right pass every time there. He took it with great aplomb. I'm sure getting the first goal gave him the confidence to grab the second chance here. 6-0 as the game has restarted. Modric. It's Isko. Three minutes. That's what's going to be played for added time. Looked very good indeed, but the move has broken down. It's Isko. Juventus have got the win here. The match, it was rather one-sided, wasn't it? Because of the capacity of one team to dominate the football. It was a football lesson. It was pretty humiliating for the inferior team.


YES! Okay. Okay, breathe. Breathe. Remember to breathe. How's it going everybody? DatoDoy here with another round of Dragon Ball Fighter's Rank Matches and this time I'm playing a suggested team of Vegito Blue, Beerus and Broly and in a cruel twist of irony we ran into a Super Saiyan Rose rank for the first time in a while. It's okay I got it. I got a cushion up. I've been playing.  I've been taking the Piccolo snapback team on ranked and getting some results. I really have been falling in love with that team but this, this is not that team. Oh that actually, I didn't expect that to combo if I'm being completely honest with you. Oh this guy is spacing. Oh. Alright we're just gonna go ahead and switch into Broly. Alright let's see. Put up the Broly Bubble. Lose the Broly Bubble. All a part of my three-step plan on losing this game. Oh beautiful use of the DP to go through that gap there. Oh that's you hate to see that happen. That's me being a little nervous with the Broly character there. Alright should we down tech here? Oh wow. Okay we actually get out there. Beautiful timing yes. Oh no I didn't think you'd react that fast. Broly not coming out. That's good. Actually he can go into Vegeta. That's one of my thinking. Oh baby you will. I will take this snapback every day of the week. Can we get Tien?  Okay okay that didn't go as bad as it could have. No where's my, where's my bullet rush? Oh okay we got a space these ki blasts out here. Oh never mind we're in, we're in boys. Alright try to get as much damage off on Tien as possible. That's kind of my line of thinking here. Maybe switch out into Beerus? Oh no I knew I should have stood my ground there. Try to catch a 2h. Oh alright flying back. I definitely thought I would get down heavy there but this is just as bad. I was like no down heavy. Alright down tech try to avoid the ok. That's a dead Beerus which is unfortunate because Beerus did not play a lot this match. We just kind of called him out and he got bopped. Let's see. I definitely think we're left with two of our stronger characters. Hmm that was a bad tag. Hmm he should attack there. We do get new jump cancels though so that's always appreciated.  Broly nice. Alright so we are still looking at a full health Vegeta. A pretty healthy Tien and the fact that that Vegeta assist is still there. Okay yeah with a lot of respect going on here. No should have respected that Vegeta assist as I was talking about respect. Turns out I don't know the first thing. Level 1 into level 3 maybe? Yeah I don't think this will kill. I mean don't get me wrong Tien's a beefcake. In my head I was thinking you know what would be smart if he DPs here and this man's a genius. Oh wow beautiful pickup by Sal. Alright at this point we just got to take out. We got to take out who we can right? Don't down heavy me. Oh yeah if it feels right it's coming. Switch out. No need. Six frames can we go away? Okay this was a bad combo.  But I'll be honest in that kind of moment I'm playing Vegeta. My brain's off. No we got hit.  Darn it.  But it's all we got friends. Yes! Okay breathe breathe. Remember to breathe. Okay get the restored health. We got seven bars to work with.  Work with me here. D.B. How do you mess that up? How do you mess that up by me? How do I mess that up so poorly? The only way we lose now is through bad fundamentals and you know I got those. Oh beautiful read. Oh you were trying to cross me up in this sweater weather? No! Okay that's not death. Wow that was a great... No! No he played it so well though. I was too... I choked up dude. That's what happens. That was a game though. That was a game what I have though boys. How do you lose? Bad fundamentals. We got those. I guess that's the ranked experience though. Hey you appreciate it. A real recognizes real. Real shen run strats versus actually just playing dragon mode fighters.  Am I gonna be broken up about this for the rest of the match? That would be a real Dr. Doya thing to do.  Let's go. We don't tech. We don't win. Oh wow and we level one sparking. Okay come on come on. We do this. We do this. Just go into something safe. Something safe and sound.  Okay thank goodness that worked. That could have been bad. Let's just go across the screen. Snag this man Broly. No Broly. Oh wow I didn't even get to land. Okay that was almost close. You see that was me because I knew Broly would do the level three. Alright nice. So that was awful but we do get Gohan back in which is fine. Get that man out of here. Come on Broly. Oh great play dude. I was wondering what it was he gonna do. I didn't think Tien would be fast enough to catch me off guard but no armor. It didn't come out. We're dead. We're dead.  One way or another we died. Oh nice reflect. No no no no oh you see I knew that would catch me. That's us. I gotta put a compilation together every time I'm up against Gohan and I say that's us. It's always I feel like if you're a long time viewer of the channel you must just be like that's not you that's not you bro. What can I say though it was me in that one brief moment it was me. He's just let me get these cheesy resets on the boy yes. Dato you knew that wouldn't work. No. Okay this is better. Is he gonna air level three? He wouldn't. Am I dead? No I'm not dead but I'm definitely getting mixed. No mix. Oh volleyball fist. No overhead. Thought it was gonna be an overhead probably should have kept blocking loan waiting but that's the risk you run. I actually have confidence spirits can do this. Wait for the assist though. Play a calm Dragon Ball fighters. Never rush. I told you play a calm Dragon Ball fighters let your opportunities come to you. Okay play a cool though play cool. I had a DP I was thinking about it.   Oh man it is getting bad. All right why am I rushing things? Oh no no I didn't mean to get opened up but then again who does. Oh another game goes to Sal. Hopefully the lag calms down. Hopefully he doesn't leave. He might leave. It'll be respectable. Rematch okay we're going in 0-2. I'm feeling good though. Oh man feel it but I'm feeling good I guess I'm feeling great eh. All right this time we don't want to lose sparking so early because last time you know it didn't really pan out too well. Oh nice.  Oh wow that snapped us out. Oh that was almost sick. I can respect that. Give me that. Oh no don't give me that. I was trying to get those buttons in. My urge to spark is growing. Oh my urge to oh my lagging stars. I were free. Let's go ahead and get a snap. You know what why not. Oh that was the worst instant air dash of all this guy is very good at that. I am definitely not though. Oh nice. Oh his Vegeta is solid. This is a solid Vegeta. Do not appreciate.  Do we spark here. This might be it. Yeah that was it. Thank God I threw that out when I did. Oh nice reflect. Okay can we can we stop with the lag though. Oh wow my jab did not come out fast enough to get him. I feel like he would have hit something with that and we weren't playing online. Back dash. I just I was hoping that like would not go as far. Nice extension into the snap. I can respect it. No no follow-up throw. I kind of expected that. Oh no how do we not guard that. That one wasn't even like fast. Oh because there's lag abundance. Come on baby. Come on baby what you got. What you got. That's the mix. That ain't no mix. That ain't no mix. I'm a super dash fiend. That ain't I know I seen better mixes than that. Yeah. Vegeta blue. No we don't have the bar to think about dragon balls right now. Back dash on that. Oh he's calling our shots. He's calling these shots. This is this is so obvious he's gonna click buttons here. We didn't touch him. It's fake but if it's fake I'll take it. If it hits I'll take it. Doesn't matter if it's fake or real. Come on that didn't that didn't land. If it's fake and it lands it's real. Ain't no such thing as fakes. Why am I so afraid of normal buttons. I'm more afraid of the DP but that's just not coming. Back dash. He's like it's so obvious why does he keep doing it because I haven't been punished yet. Oh returning to light. I can appreciate that. Nice dragon rush. Beautifully timed. Don't kill. Oh okay. Never mind. I kind of I don't know why my brain didn't process he could just DHC there. Alright Broly. Nice. Cheesy. Oh no no no no. Okay thankfully we do block that. Okay get off of that. Oh Broly. Okay that should be enough to kill. Why extend it if you can kill already right? Triple S damage. Alright nice. Broly actually secures a nice little pickup. Nothing too it's not too fancy right. We still have to work our way through this Vegeta but anything is better than nothing and he could also he has a better chance of summoning Shamron than us. Okay respectable. Oh man we are. He plays a patient game. No my buttons didn't come out fast enough. Oh that was so good too because if I hit buttons there it would have hit. Yikes level one. No he has to level three. Okay.  Four bars.  Oh we're dead.   Damn good games to Sal though. Those were all great dude. That was a lot of fun. Even when you get beat down like this. Even when you get beat down like this. Even when you get beat down like that. Sal's a stand-up gentleman. I appreciate that dude.

If you're new Manu's Bobby, guys, pretty interesting video today. We're going to react to my Muslim parents disowned me for converting to Christianity. From Allah to Jesus by the channel Dennis Falcon. The reason why I react to this video is not to mock the guy. Quite the opposite actually. I come from a similar background just in reverse. I come from an Orthodox Christian background. My parents are Orthodox Christians and I accepted Islam. Alhamdulillah. And therefore I of course stand firm in my belief that Islam is the truth and not Christianity. But when it comes down to the parents part, as I already said, I can relate because at first when I accepted Islam, my parents broke off the contact completely. And unfortunately to this very day, I still haven't talked to my father. Therefore I can understand and sympathize a little bit when it comes down to the family dynamics, not so much when it comes down to the religious dynamics after all.  Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and check out the links in the description box to further support my work. And now with no further ado, let's have a look. What's up guys? Welcome back to the channel. My name is Dennis and today I'm going to be sharing with you about the time that I shared my belief in Christianity to my Muslim parents. Boy, was that scary. Now, the actual moment where I shared my faith with my parents is going to be towards the end of the video. But I'm going to give you some background so you have some context. Both my mom and dad were born in Turkey in Istanbul. They met each other in New York and they had me in Florida. I was raised Muslim. I believe that Allah was God. We believe that He was a power and it was a distant God that was... I don't want to be too dismissive right off the bat, but when people say such things, we used to believe that Allah is God. I can clearly see that they didn't do their research because what is Allah? What does Allah mean? Allah is simply the Arabic term for God. And guess what, dear Christian, now that you believe in Jesus, simply ask yourself the question, what language did Jesus speak? Then you find out, whoopsie, it was Aramaic. And then you do a further Google search and you will find out, well, in Aramaic the word is as well. Allah, Allah, Elah. It is the same root word because guess what? It is a Semitic language after all and this is what it boils down to. Allah simply means God. Jesus, on the other hand, does not mean God. Go figure. Jesus is a name, a name for a human, a name for a human prophet, for the Messiah. Name him what you will, but most definitely not for God. And this is why, yes, it is true. Instead of worshiping Allah, you went from Allah to Jesus. You start worshiping Jesus, a man, rather than God. I believe that Allah was God. We believe that he was a power and it was a distinct God that was a judge whom we just had to do as many good things as possible. Be a good person, do good works and hopefully one day we make it to paradise. Yeah, yet again, unfortunately, we can clearly see that this guy didn't do his research because of a lack of knowledge. He went out of Islam and into Christianity. If he would truly research and look into Christianity, I'm sure he would drop out as well because he would find many discrepancies. Alone in the Bible and then further into the so-called church fathers, etc., etc., you name it. Once you see how Christianity was established, created, you would drop out right away because it cannot hold the criticism that Islam actually can. But nevertheless, be that as it may. He talked about Allah being some sort of distant God. Within the Quran, we find that Allah is as close to you as your jugular vein. But be that as it may. Even if we discard the Quranic verse completely, we don't even look at it. Then we of course have to ask you the question, how about the Christian God? Is the Christian God super close to you all the time? Of course, Christians will claim that yes, it's a personal relationship with Jesus. Where is Jesus? Do you see Jesus? Do you hang out with him? Do you talk with him? Of course not. So this distance that he talks about is simply natural. There will always be a natural distance between you as a mere creation and the Creator. The Creator is exalted. And this is the same principle within Christianity if you truly look into the Orthodox teachings. Because the essence of God is ultimately unknowable. No Christian has ever seen the essence of God, let alone the Father. Nobody has seen the Father, but allegedly only the Son. And this is what it boils down to. The true relationship that is described within the Bible between the Father and the Son is experienced by Jesus and God. You on the other hand still end up having this distance to the Heavenly Father or the essence of God. And therefore the principle there is exactly the same. You simply believe now that you have an interpersonal relationship with Jesus. But God is transcendent of all of that. He is the Creator of the creation. He is the Creator, not the creation. And therefore, of course, he will have a natural distance to you. So naturally, as I grew up, my relationship with Allah diminished because there wasn't a relationship. It was a distant thing, right? And this video isn't a testimony video, so I won't share about how I came to know the Lord. But basically, I was one of those kids where I was never going to believe in something simply because my family believed in it. Which I think is the case with a lot of people. I see a lot of people who are Christian because they were born to it or they're Muslim because they were born to it. They never had that self-discovery. They never had that moment where they seek the actual truth. Yes, and this is something that I can absolutely relate with because growing up in an Orthodox Christian background, nobody ever truly asked questions and nobody was truly super-practicing after all. So therefore, I had to go out of my own way and find the truth. I searched in all kinds of venues. Buddhism, Hinduism, shamanism, psychedelics, meditation, etc. etc.  Why? Because I kept on searching for the truth. And this is something that we have to really talk about here. Because after all, he says that he wouldn't have accepted what his parents believed. He wanted to find the truth by himself. Kudos! That is a good trade to have. But you have to look into the religions. Islam encourages such seeking for truth. The Quran always tells us to ponder, to reflect, to question and to seek our answers. And guess what? Within Islam, we have answers. In Christianity, on the other hand, this is not encouraged. They tell you over and over again that the Trinity is a mystery. That nobody truly understands it. You can imagine it like an egg. There is an egg shell. There is egg white, egg yolk, three in one. After all, one God. They tell you that you cannot think about such things because they are eternally mysterious. And this is not the case within Islam. Quite the opposite. Seeking of truth, seeking of knowledge is absolutely encouraged within Islam. Reading, understanding, pondering, reflecting. All of this is found within the religion of Islam and not within the religion of Christianity. And therefore, this is an open invitation. This is my offer to you. If you truly want to seek knowledge, you can come on my live stream and we can invite a student of knowledge, a Sheikh, even. I am well connected, Alhamdulillah. And I am sure they will be able to answer all the questions that you have. Right. To find it for themselves. Even before I was saved, I tried many other things. Christian law of attraction, manifestation. I tried everything else. It didn't work. This was my last resort, my last option. Right. And I hated Jesus. I wanted nothing to do with him. But I finally got to a point where I would... Yeah, yeah, again, the guy is just exposing himself. He says he hated Jesus. What kind of Muslim were you then? Because no Muslim hates Jesus. No real Muslim hates Jesus. Jesus is a prophet within Islam. One of the mightiest messengers, the Messiah indeed. And therefore, we as the Quran states, do not distinguish between the prophets.  And this just shows yet again that you didn't research Islam properly. You just jumped to conclusions. The Bible. Now, once I began reading the Bible, you got to realize I'm in a Muslim household. If I'm caught reading this thing, it ain't gonna be good for me. You know what I'm saying? So, I would wake up at 4.45, 5 a.m. and begin hunting God, is what I call it, right? I didn't know where to start in this book. I didn't know what to read. I didn't know what would be important to read. But I was hunting. Because I was, at that moment, seeking the truth and trying to figure out who God was, right? And the more I read it, the more it began piercing my heart, right? And the more the word started coming alive to me. But the thing is, and a lot of people, they just stop at religion, right? But you have to pair the scripture up with an encounter. That's where the transformation is. That's where the real belief is that it'll sustain you. I was reading the scripture so much. And I was like, wow, this is really speaking to me and maybe it is the truth. But I needed an encounter. And I did have several encounters that sealed the deal for me. And I was like, Jesus, you're the only one. Yeah, this is something that we can, of course, not speak about. This is subjective experience. As I said, I come from a background of seeking spirituality myself as well, shamanism, psychedelics, et cetera. I had plenty of deep, spiritual, transformative experiences. But in the end, this is subjective. This is what I experience. And this is not an objective standard after all. With an Orthodox Christianity, actually, this is discourage. It is discourage to seek spiritual experiences on your own, because you could be deceived. You're just a mere human. You cannot truly know what you encountered. You encountered something and now you're jumping to conclusions. But nevertheless, you're still pairing it, of course, with the Bible. The Bible, after all, for you is the objective standard. And now there you go again the Quran is the objective standard. We measure everything by the Quran and the Suna, of course. The point being is you read the Bible over and over and over again and then you had a subjective experience. I believe you. I'm not doubting it. But the point of the story is how do you reference now that it is the truth just because you experienced something? I can tell you about Muslims that had spiritual experiences encountering Jesus as well. They did not see him as God Almighty. And therefore you will still have to come back to some sort of standard, which you do in your case, the Bible. But if you truly read the Bible from cover to cover, you would, of course, as I said, find the discrepancies. You would wonder why is Jesus so peace-loving? But you look into the Old Testament which is allegedly God which is allegedly then Jesus and they're contradicting each other over and over again. Within the Bible, etc., etc., you name it. You can imagine. The Bible says we're new creations sorry about that, Lord. We're new creations in Christ. All old things have passed away. So naturally as I'm putting my faith in the Lord, I'm changing. The way I speak is changing. The way I think is changing. My comments on starting things are changing. And my mother was starting to notice. And I had a Christian girlfriend. So my mom's Yeah, here again. So having a Christian girlfriend apparently under Christianity is a-okay. But this is not Islamic nor is it truly Christian. This is adultery. This is fornication. Even if you guys did not have sex it would still be immoral to be that close with a woman that you have not married. But be that as it may. He claims coming from a Muslim household you did not truly practice. You did not come of course to have a girlfriend. This is not what a practicing Muslim does nor is it what a practicing Christian would do but nevertheless Christianity nowadays is seen as religion light. They even say that well, it's not a religion, it's a relationship and the law has been abandoned even though if you do the work the studies yourself you would find out that Jesus never said that he would abandon the law. It's absolutely laughable. All together and they swap it for their own desires. She's like, you have Bible? I saw Bible. I'm like no I don't read it like it's just there right? I was denying God but the thing is my family and I we never had a strong family tie connection. As I mentioned my dad wasn't around. My mom really verbally and immensely abused me. No one's perfect they try their best. God bless them. But the more I'm reading this word the more I'm realizing it doesn't feel right denying God. I would convince myself hey look I don't got to tell my parents what I believe everyone can believe what they want we're all good here. You know what I'm saying? Until I read this one verse and I'll read it to you guys it's found in the Gospel of Matthew praise God it's in Matthew 10 verses 32 and 33 I'll read it to you therefore whoever confesses me before men him I will also confess before my father who is in heaven but whoever denies me before men him I will also deny before my father who is in heaven when I read that verse my heart dropped I was like I got Muslim parents you know that you obviously know that what do you mean I got it wrong? Alright this is for today's video I'm going to cut it off here we had minute 533 into the video the video still continues for 8 more minutes if you want to check out the whole thing you can find it on the channel I basically said everything I needed to say throughout this video it is very shallow after all and comes down to a lack of understanding the passage that he read out was about denying Jesus Christ and if you deny Jesus Christ then he will deny you in front of his father i.e. God but this is not what Christianity teaches this statement alone already debunks Christianity yes it is that hilarious because if you really look at that Bible verse you will understand that Jesus said if you deny him as the messenger of God he will deny you in front of his father his father his God this is basically what it boils down to if you really look into that passage and therefore within that passage yet again you cannot find that Jesus supposedly is God himself but this is exactly what Christianity teaches and this is why Christianity is a constant conflict with its own scripture within the Bible you have so much conflict when it comes down to the new teaching of Christianity why because the Old Testament is essentially a Jewish book and now they try to mold it into a Christian book they try to tell you that Yahweh is essentially Jesus and this is God a Trinity blah blah blah you name it point being this verse alone debunks Trinity debunks Jesus being God and yet again if you would have some background knowledge about Islam just a little bit you would understand that if you deny Jesus within Islam you would be denied as well as a believer of course because as I said we make no distinctions between the prophets you cannot be a Muslim and deny Jesus that's absolutely impossible you cannot be a Muslim and deny Noah you cannot be a Muslim and deny Abraham you cannot deny the prophets and this is what it means to be a Muslim you do not deny any prophets any messengers you believe in one God alone and you do not believe that that God is a human you do not believe that that God is a stick a stone a bone a mountain some sort of deity with four hands a blue demon an elephant head god or anything of those sorts you believe in the ultimate transcendence of our creator he is the most exalted one he is the greatest this is our creator he is not comparable to anything within creation this is what we worship because at the point where the creator becomes comparable to something in creation you lost the plot now you can do exactly what has been described within the Old Testament you can worship the golden calf you can worship idols and this is what Christianity evolved into of course because you see people not worshiping but venerating icons after all they have icons they have statues they pray to saints they pray to mother Mary they pray to Jesus they pray to everybody but God it seems and this is what you unfortunately haven't understood you deviated from the pure monotheism away from one God into worshiping men this is nothing new this is not a new religion this is veganism this has been practiced over and over again and even your own scripture is warning you against return to the pure monotheism of one God alone see the messengers for what they are they are exalted creations but this is what they are they are creations and not the creator I yet again hereby invite you formally to come over on my live stream and we can invite as I said a and I am certain that he will clarify everything you need to know inshallah alright guys but this is it for today's video if you enjoyed it leave it a thumbs up subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and check out the links in the description box to further support my work and now as always may God bless you all much love and peace


Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jessica Bidwell. These are your headlines from around the fleet. U.S. and Japan's self-defense forces wrapped up exercise Keen Sword off the coast of southern Japan November 19th. Nineteen ships and seven aircraft participated in large, joint-filled training exercises to increase combat readiness and teamwork between the two countries. Approximately 11,000 U.S. personnel participated in Keen Sword. The Navy Senior Enlisted Academy, or SEA, is expanding its delivery format to allow every senior chief petty officer to attend. After 2017, all senior chief petty officers will be required to attend SEA or other senior leadership academies prior to putting on Master Chief Petty Officer. This update aligns with CNO's vision of the Navy leader development strategy and MCPUN's focus on developing leaders.


So I'm going to give you guys a little bit of a talk about home automation with Amazon Echo and Ruby. I hope it works well. I've never tried this thing out in a room with 300 people, so I guess we'll see. But basically, I wanted to create kind of an API where there wasn't one to ameliorate all of my first world problems. I don't want to get up off the couch. Why would you? So who am I? At Zach Feldman on GitHub and Twitter and all those things. I'm the co-founder and chief academic officer of the New York Code and Design Academy. We're one of those newfangled coding boot camps that you keep hearing about. One of our students is actually in the audience right there. How's it going? NYCDA.com, classes on web development from basic to advanced, iOS development, UI, UX design, pretty much just awesome technology classes. So check them out. Ask me any questions if you want afterwards about them. We're launching in Amsterdam in September, so I'm stoked about that. So the Amazon Echo is this thing right next to me that looks kind of like a garbage can. It's kind of like R2D2 in that way. It has seven microphones, which is amazing. I can tell you almost for sure that this doesn't have seven microphones, nor do any of the Android phones. So all the kind of approaches to speech recognition that have happened so far have been on inferior hardware, if you ask me. I don't know a ton about actually taking a waveform and parsing it into text. That is not really my area of expertise. But I can guess. I also have a music degree. I can guess that it's probably a lot easier to parse speech from something that has seven microphones versus one to three microphones at max. So that's why this is so amazing. I'm sitting on my couch at home, or even in my bathroom at home, and my living room is over here, and that's where my Echo is, and I say, I'm not going to say the wake word just yet, but I'll ask it to do something, and it'll hear me from 20 feet away, and it'll parse that text pretty clearly for this generation of voice recognition technology. So when I got my Echo about eight or nine months ago, I don't know how I got it that quickly. Don't ask me. I don't know how to get your name up in the wait list or whatever beats me. It came in with some built-in functionality. Like for instance, Alexa set an alarm for 45 seconds from now. I love my beautiful assistant, Mike, to Mike the Echo, so you guys can all hear it. Alexa, where is the International Space Station? International Space Station is in space. Thank you. Thank you very much. Alexa, play Sober by Childish Gambino. The song's Sober, right? Yes. Sober by Childish Gambino. So that's one of my favorite songs. Alexa, what's the forecast for tomorrow? Tomorrow, in Brooklyn, you'll see rainy weather and can expect a high of 84 and a low of 73. Alexa, do my talk for me. Hmm. I can't find the answer to the question I heard. Oh, no. I don't have any other slides. So that's my alarm. Alexa. Alexa. Alexa. Alexa. Alexa. Stop. All right. So I love this song. Alexa. Alexa. Stop. So it comes with a bunch of amazing built-in functionality. When I unboxed it, I was wowed and amazed by this, but I was also thinking, why can't it do more?  It seems like I could just parse the text and have it control other things in my life. So yeah, I wanted to add some more functionality to it. And to do that, I created a kind of proxy, a weird kind of API. And I'll go ahead and start it up right here. And hopefully it'll work. Let's see. So I'll explain a little bit more about exactly how this works later on, but I'm not touching my computer right now, putting it out there. It's kind of all happening. So I can say, once this is done booting up, let's see. Alexa. Add an event, breakfast at Tiffany's at 5.30. Stop. And then hopefully, if all has gone well, I'll have an event. Oh, there it is. Breakfast at Tiffany's. And as the word stop in it, that's kind of a bit of a hack. So we have to kind of work around the limitations of the device. Obviously, Amazon is not condoning this. So if anyone from Amazon is in the audience, sorry. But I also have some other functionality to show you guys to begin with. So Alexa. Tell the world, Gotham Alexa. Tell the world Gotham Ruby Conference rocks. Stop. No. So hopefully, so, you know, it's like kind of working at at least turned me say, tell the world, which is kind of the instruction to tweet. Right. You guys kind of get the point of that. Alexa. Tell the world Jesse Chan Norris is the man. Stop. Jesse Chan Norris is going to be organizers. Also one of my mentors. Let's have a hand for Jesse. And hopefully he showed up in my Twitter. Well, you know, at least someone kind of like him. So, you know, the point is you guys are all going to favorite these. Right. It's going to be great. You know, the point is like it at least heard the instruction tell the world, you know, the text after that may have been a little garbled, works a little better when I'm at home. And like I said, not in the room with 300 people, but it works okay. So how does this work? Does anyone know? I'm just kidding. I know the answer. It's the Alexa home project. We click on this. It's just kind of a short URL. This is a GitHub repo. If you guys want to take a look at it. Have any of you guys ever heard of GitHub? Yeah. So anyway, there's a scraper which scrapes the commands from the Amazon Echo web app and there's a server which receives the scrape commands and then parses them. So basically it's two different components here. And the scraper uses water web driver to log into the Amazon Echo web application which you saw. And then when a new command is posted, it sends the command to the Alexa home server application to be parsed further. So what's in a water? A lot of you guys have used water before for feature testing and basically it's a way to run web driver really easily from your tests. But I'm actually not using it for that, which is a little bit weird. Why can't I just use Nokogiri like everyone else? Another question you might ask is, why would I scrape it from the web app? Why wouldn't I just try to intercept network requests from the device itself? And I'm glad you asked. I actually did try to do that. They're obviously encrypted. So if any of you guys are kind of worried about, oh, whatever I say to this thing is going to end up in the hands of Amazon, I will tell you that it only sends a request whenever you give it a command and that all those requests are encrypted. I couldn't find a way to decrypt them very easily. So I went to the next available option, which is there's a web application that has a history of exactly what you've said. Check it out. So I was like, great, I'll just scrape it using Nokogiri. But then I was like, but I don't want to pull it every two minutes or every five minutes or something. I want this to be immediate. I want to say something that immediately have a command be executed. So we're not just web scraping. We're actually monitoring for Ajax Complete Events on the document. And it's kind of like a web book in a way. Whenever the web page does something, it sends a command to my server. So let's see some code. This is my waterlogin.rb file, which is basically taking care of all the magic here. I'm creating an object called AlexaCrawler, giving it some settings. So the URL of exactly where all the history is for the app, for the Echo itself, the login URL. If you go to echo.amazon.com, you can usually get redirected to this page. Also the refresh time in minutes. This is a hack.  And it's a lot more reliable that way. When we start up, we're going to initialize a new instance of water browser. And that opens up Firefox for me, or whatever your default browser with water is. And then there's also this keep alive method, which is going to ensure that, like I said, every 32 minutes, the process is killed and then restarted again. And as you saw before, we're basically using water to fill out all the fields to log into the application on echo.amazon.com, clicking the submit button, and then going to the history URL to look at the history from the Echo. Once we're on that history page, how do we find out what the next command is? Good question. We're actually going to inject some JavaScript into the page. That's going to, first of all, for restarting the script, it's going to recognize if there was a last command so that we don't repeat commands. I was having this weird problem where I would tell Alexa, stop, to do something. And then 32 minutes later, it would do that thing again. So I would be like, turn on all the lights, or turn off all the lights, and I would just be sitting in my apartment talking to my friends, and all my lights would just turn off. And that wasn't very fun, and I had to find the bug, and I was just executing the same commands twice. So we have to protect against that. So once the 32 command gets pushed to the page, we're going to figure out the command by just doing some parsing of the jQuery of whatever the first command is. And then we're going to send a GET request to the server that I have running on localhost4567. Can anybody tell me, localhost4567, what framework I'm probably using? Sinatra, exactly. So our good old friend Sinatra. And then I'm going to run the keep alive. It's a recursive function. It just calls itself over and over again which is, you know, not super awesome. I know I'm not exactly following best practices here, but I just wanted this thing to stay alive as long as possible without my interference. Cool. So that's how the scraper works. We're just using JavaScript injection to send a GET request to a local server. So the server, it receives the scrape commands from the Amazon Echo, and we're basically using regexpowered parsing to match against key phrases for different modules that we've written and it can be used with any plain text input, not just from Echo, which is really interesting actually. So if any of you guys, I know that there was the Google Now hack for Siri where you could say, you know, or Googleplex, I'm sorry, where you could say Googleplex and then go through some kind of proxy and scrape whatever Siri was saying. I feel like it's been deactivated recently, but you could find a way to take the commands from Siri or the commands from Google Now or something else and pass it to this. That's why I decided to break it into two parts. I wanted other people to be able to use this code for their projects too. So the server architecture sounds like a really complicated word, right? Five lines of code. Sinatra. So the first pass that I did was super simple. Require Sinatra, GET request to slash process with a parameter Q, scanning that parameter for the words turn on and then do hue stuff. So pretty much I just had to write hashtag hue stuff and then all the hue stuff happened. It was very simple, joking. So the first pass that I did of this was like I said to control the hue lights in my apartment. So I was scanning for the words turn on. When I found those words, I used the hue API to ping the lights in my apartment and turn them on and then eventually turn them off as well. And as you can imagine, the code base kind of grew from that into this really gnarly if, else if, else kind of thing that just was looking really terrible. And things just got more complicated and I wanted to encourage open source contribution. So two things that I think really encourage open source contribution, documentation, right? Don't we all love documentation? Really easily readable documentation and also an easily extensible modular system. So not just kind of a huge if, else if tree, but something that people could actually see as a pattern and replicate that pattern really easily on their own and then write code on their own to do so. So the code base is the current code base and that's like I said at Alexa Ho.me Alexa Home stop. Sometimes this thing gets a little bit annoying but you know. So my code is a little bit better formatted now and I'll show you guys on GitHub just because it looks a little cleaner there. So we've got the docs folder which basically describes getting started, running the program on a Raspberry Pi which is really nice. So I don't have to have my laptop open all the time. I just have a Raspberry Pi in a closet in my apartment that runs this program for me. So that's really nice. It's basically you know, editing the auto start file from Raspberry Pi and then also how to stop Alexa Home because not everyone knows how to search with grep through all their processes and kill a process. So I thought this was pretty important. And then there's also documentation for all the modules. Module Hue, a J River player, Nest, Uber, Evernote and also scheduling. So that's the docs folder and then scraper is in a separate folder and server is in a separate folder and then we have all the different modules also in their own folders. So it's a very modular kind of architecture. And if you take a look at the current state of things it's a lot cleaner than it was when I first started. Still not necessarily the best pattern but it's easy to contribute to which is most important. So whenever you create a new module for this platform basically it's a class that starts with the words. I'm not going to say them because it's going to react to me but you know what I mean. The A word. By the way, the two things you can wake it up with are that word and also Amazon if you set it that way. So if you happen to have an ex-girlfriend with the name then you can just call it Amazon instead if you'd like. So anyway, we're configuring the Twitter client here. Every class that's defined for this specific project has wake words method which is basically an array of all the different words that could wake up that specific module. So before I was saying tell the world, that's exactly how that works. I just defined the wake words inside of that array. And then I have a process command method which is on every single class and that's going to take whatever command she output and parse it and do something with it. So this is a really simple example because the Twitter gem is very easy to use. So whenever the command comes in I'm basically removing the word stop and also removing tell the world and then returning whatever is left and that is what gets sent to my Twitter account. And at the bottom of each module I have this constant module instances which is going to push a new instance of each module into that array and then later on we iterate through the array to check the method each time. And that's actually done in app.rb. So here we're saying first of all we're going to use the same modules right here. Modules equals yaml.load file and this is just a quick yaml configuration file. So I can decide which modules to load and in fact if you're going to be trying this at home when you get your Amazon Echo I'd recommend commenting out the hue module unless you have a hue because it's going to ask you to press the button on top of your hue device which you do not have. So you're going to need to do that and that's actually why we built in this module this modular module selection tool.  Because we wanted people to be able to use this without necessarily having all the components that are necessary for all the different packages that it uses and we have some selectivity there. So once again we're using this to figure out which modules we're going to load. We're going to iterate over each module and then require it inside of this loop and then whenever we get a command we're going to use the module instances that we have and basically scan through the command that we get for any of the wake words here. If we find any of the wake words we're going to process the command using that specific module. So everything's a lot more modular now. People are contributing to the project. There's a man, Steven Arkanovic out in Washington who has already contributed three or four different modules and is just really gung-ho about it and he actually got him into Ruby which I was really happy about to see another Rubyist kind of join the team. It was great. And generally I'm just much more happy with the way this architecture is laid out. There's more open source contributions as in my mind, something that's great. Cool. So imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well Bezos laughs on a yacht Jeff Bezos that is the head of Amazon. Alexa Home is actually the first to market with these now native integrations. What I mean by that is that I actually hacked together these integrations and then about a month later, Amazon came out with the same exact thing whatever Amazon, that's cool. I'm not going to sue you or anything. I would never do that. That's impossible apparently. But we came out with a hue module and the hue module for this project can control not only turning the lights on and off but also the brightness of the lights, the saturation, also many many different colors of the lights which is really nice and the module that they have can turn them on and off which is great but I want more functionality There's also a Google Calendar module which is contributed by Steve Arkanovic and they actually just integrated that two or three weeks ago. So leading up to this talk I was panicking a little bit I was like what if they take all the integrations that I've created and I'm literally presenting the same exact thing that is now inside of this product but luckily they only took two of them so I still have some other things to show you guys which is nice. There's also an official API now so you don't have to use my hack anymore. Frankly I think it's a bit easier to use because the way that they're they've kind of like only vaguely released some details of the developer program but it's not just parsing text it's a bit more difficult than that and I think frankly that my hack is easier to program apps with than their official program so what I'd love to do one day is create some kind of Ruby DSL for creating applications for the Amazon Echo that makes it as easy to use and modular as the library that I've built versus what's out officially currently so I'm going to give you guys one final demo and then I'm going to leave some time for questions this is a demo with Uber so we need to bring up that app make sure my server is running yep oh I need to rate this guy what should I give him it was pretty good, it was a pretty good ride good job cool so I'm not pressing any buttons here and let's just hope that this works Alexa get me a cab to Union Square New York, New York, stop so I'm not touching snow, just my voice give it a moment here see what happens and my driver is confirmed in a route to my apartment in Brooklyn so you're all wondering oh well why are we in Brooklyn right now so I did all the testing there and that's kind of what's hard coded in right now but in the future I hope to be able to parse both beginning and ending locations as well and you can actually get a cab with your voice which is pretty cool I have to cancel this ride unfortunately so I'm sorry Milan if any of you guys know Milan send them my apologies cool so that's what I've got for you guys I have more stuff at AlexaHo.me and I'd love for you guys to contribute to this project as you get your echoes and we can keep kind of hacking on it to eventually like I said build the DSL that means you can bring all those modules over to the native platform once that's out to the public, thanks guys
