What's your favourite moment from Kasper? 🧤
Never said fuk all about protests
Ederson v Allison argument being recorded before Allison delivered the greatest performance of a goalkeeper of all time is lovely. You were wrong either way, lads.
It only took Gary Neville 24 mins to get a question in.
He will make a far better pundit than Joe Hart, which isn’t saying much I know.
Talks well about the game as well as goalkeeping
He would be an incredible pundit
I can't believe he's not butter
celtic did well getting him
Alisson Becker entered the chat……
I remember the 2-2 draw against Notts county well. Kasper shook my hand and signed my match day ticket during the pitch invasion after. Great memories.

Jaysus kasper take a breath
Fantastic episode
Interesting conversation considering the game Alisson just had keep the ball out the net
What a fantastic speaker, a captivating watch. His own man with that name. One of my favourite episodes
Goshen is where all the greats have a kick about. Kasper knows.
29:32 – 29:45 is very interesting but I have always believed this applies to all high level footballers.
Ian Wright, what a gift. Love his compassion man.
This was a great interview. I enjoyed every second
Swing for him Roy.
I remember thinking why on earth did Leicester not keep him as long as they could, and that he could’ve left them before that for a bigger club. Brilliant show though, such a great guest
Best episode in months
R.I.P Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha
Great episode with Kasper
Kasper might be the best pundit at that table. Great insight.
What a fantastic guy Kasper is, doesn't surprise me. asset to the sport and people in general
So knowledgeable. Great insights shared. Well done to a well spoken young lad.
get Alfie Haaland
Well spoken and intelligent answers
Kasper Speaks so well
Without Mahrez you wouldn’t win it ,he was the main man ..
What a great speaker he is, really engaging. Could have a career in management maybe
My favorite goalkeeper ever. Top-notch guy. I used to sign him in every save on CM 03/04, first income of the save. Protects the sticks for 20 years minimum.
Shaka Hislop needs to be on this show.
This guy!! Wow!! What an amazing insight. The passion, knowledge and attitude 👌🏼💪🏼
Great to hear a player still playing speak this way. Wow! Glad hes at my team ❤
Leicester should never of let him go
Kasper is more than just a great keeper, he seems very intelligent to me, a great analyst of the game and great character too.
What an impressive guy…loved listening to Kasper. Great episode!
"You are too wise for this show" Roy Keane to Kasper Schmeichel. Great characters 😆
