On General Football and Premier League
Q: Let’s begin with Pep Guardiola. He signed his new contract, didn’t he? And now Man City have misplaced six of their final seven. What’s occurring?
Paul Gascoigne: He’s acquired the gamers. If he needed to purchase gamers, he’d simply purchase them. But then he had the scratch on his nostril and I didn’t know what it was! I don’t know what went on.
Q: He stated he’d finished it along with his fingernail, didn’t he?
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah nevertheless it goes proper up right here (to the highest of his head)! He’s acquired one thing on him. So what occurred is, it should ultimately come out, what’s occurring within the dressing room. Because I’ve watched that Netflix documentary about Man City after they received the treble… and he’s such a pleasant bloke. He’s having a go at them (gamers) and he goes down on his knees and begins letting them understand how a lot he loves all of them, saying ‘I love you.’
I used to be considering ‘Wow.’ And to assume the place I’m in my life now, and the place he’s, I’ve performed in opposition to him, wow! Good on him. All the golf equipment he’s managed, Bayern Munich, Man City he’s had cash to spend, he’s labored with nice, unbelievable gamers.
Q: He’s speaking a couple of squad rebuild now, isn’t he? He’s going to splash the money. Do you keep in mind when Fergie booted the boot at David Beckham? You assume one thing like which may have occurred?
Paul Gascoigne: Might have finished, yeah. Because I went to see Fergie. I used to be courageous sufficient to go and see him after not signing for him. His hairdryer is definitely in his workplace, unbelievably.
I used to be at a Manchester United recreation two years in the past or one thing, and I’m simply sitting along with my agent, and a man got here as much as me and informed me Fergie needs to see me in his workplace. Honestly, I used to be nervous. So I went in to see him and I actually simply checked out him and the hairs on the again of my neck stood up. He stated ‘you still should have f**king signed for me!’
Q: Now that clearly the Premier League is 13 video games in, it’s wanting like Liverpool is perhaps working away with it after beating Man City.
Paul Gascoigne: I watched the highlights in opposition to Real Madrid and so they made Real Madrid seem like a mean staff. They’re enjoying unbelievable, they’re high of the league. It was a really large recreation on the weekend with Man City. So that was enormous. Liverpool simply appear unstoppable.
And that supervisor (Arne Slot), nicely finished to comply with Klopp. Klopp did very well with Liverpool, however to comply with him, he’s off to an unbelievable begin.
Q: Do you assume he can take Liverpool to even increased heights than Klopp?
Paul Gascoigne: I believe he might. It’s one in every of them although. You’ve acquired to have cash if you wish to actually do very well on this Premier League. Because cash is speaking. It was the gamers.
Like I stated earlier than, you will get some gamers on 300k-400k per week, they will’t even entice a f**king bag of cement. Crap!
And I believe ‘what if I played against him?’ This is the chance for Liverpool to win the league. Especially with Man City, they’ve been crushed 5 instances in a row, clearly it’s confidence ranges, or one thing’s occurring within the camp, individuals are not pleased. They’ve acquired accidents as nicely. It’s a case of simply pulling collectively and simply getting just a few video games on the run, successful video games.
Q: What about Arsenal, do you assume they’ve acquired an opportunity?
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah, undoubtedly. Mikel Arteta, I’m so pleased with him… although I performed for Tottenham. It’s unbelievable.
I at all times thought it was a nasty thought for Frank Lampard to turn out to be supervisor of Chelsea after simply enjoying for them. He likes managing gamers he simply performed with. And I felt sorry for him as a result of I like Frank. He’s an ideal man, an ideal participant.
But for Arteta, the way in which he’s turned that staff round, as a result of he wouldn’t need to go wherever. He practically received it (Premier League) final season. He’s acquired them enjoying nice soccer and he’s acquired some high quality gamers. I’m pleased with him, Arteta.
Q: Did you see Frank Lampard acquired the Coventry job?
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah, I seen that. I began laughing. I stated, ‘he must be desperate for a job.’
Years in the past once I was enjoying, I used to be requested to see if I needed to do an interview to be the supervisor of York. And I stated, ‘Oh York, I don’t dwell removed from there, as a result of I’m from Newcastle.’ And I stated I’d give it some thought. He stated, ‘Well, I need to know, because there’s 80 managers wanting that job.’
I stated, ‘I’ll simply depart it mate, not .’
On Mo Salah And Carragher’s Comments
Q: Last time we spoke about Mo Salah a bit, you stated you thought he was a bit off the boil, however perhaps he heard what you stated, as a result of since then he’s been making it as much as you, hasn’t he?
Paul Gascoigne: You know what, I swear to god, I’ve watched Liverpool just a few instances. It was solely until the final recreation, I assumed it was a brand new younger child! Completely totally different, forgot he acquired his hair reduce.
But the previous few video games he’s been nice and that objective he scored on the half volley when the keeper was popping out. Wow. I scored one comparable in opposition to Celtic. But Salah has turned it on once more, so he in all probability needs a pay rise!
Q: His contract is up on the finish of the season. Jamie Carragher had a go at him, calling him egocentric for not signing a brand new contract, however Salah says he hasn’t been provided one. So do you assume Carragher’s jealous?
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah, in all probability. People like that although, I wouldn’t reply if I used to be Salah. I wouldn’t even trouble responding to what Jamie stated, you realize?
It’s Salah, there’s lots of people like him. Look at PSG, an unbelievable staff that they’ve acquired, however Messi even needed to go to America. Another one, Ronaldo, a high class participant who went to Saudi Arabia.
When a participant involves the top of his profession, cash talks. But Salah, he’s high quality, now he’s turned it on once more. So no matter I stated labored.
But a top quality participant, typically when that ball is at his ft it jogs my memory somewhat bit like Messi simply sticks to his foot and he works again for his staff, which is nice, so I believe Carragher was out of order calling him egocentric.
Q: What about hypothetically then if Salah does depart Liverpool on the finish of the season? Do you assume they could go and attempt to get Marcus Rashford?
A: It can be an enormous transfer for him as nicely from Man United to Liverpool. Salah, in the event that they promote him and he leaves, they’re gonna want two gamers to interchange him. That’s the issue you’ve acquired.
On Man United and Spurs
Q: What about now that Man United removed Erik Ten Haag?
Paul Gascoigne: I imply he did nicely hanging in. But actually, if I used to be an excellent supervisor, the final job I need is to comply with Alex Ferguson. No means. Follow Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, no means. That man Slot, Klopp clearly did very well. So for him to take over and what he’s achieved to date, it’s wonderful.
He’s left now, and the brand new man’s are available, so I felt for him. But pay attention, when you’ve been supervisor over in England, you’re at all times going to get one other supervisor’s job. Once you’re supervisor of Arsenal, or Man United or groups like that, you’re at all times going to get one other managerial job. Always.
Q: You stated earlier than that you just thought Harry Kane ought to have gone to Real Madrid as a substitute of Bayern Munich. Do you assume Real Madrid would possibly attempt to purchase him from Bayern Munich subsequent summer time now?
Paul Gascoigne: Could do, it relies upon the place his missus needs to go. I believe his missus talks and that’s the place he goes. She runs the present. You wouldn’t flip round, flip down Real Madrid for Bayern Munich.
I’ve acquired nothing in opposition to him although as a result of they’re a top quality staff. Unbelievable. Harry Kane, if he needed to return again, he in all probability has acquired the primary possibility to return to Tottenham anyway. But he might go to Real Madrid for similar to a few years.
Q: What about your ex-team Tottenham then in the meanwhile? They’re very inconsistent aren’t they. What’s occurring with them?
Paul Gascoigne: Sometimes they simply depend on Son an excessive amount of.
Q: Do You assume they need to look to money in on him?
Paul Gascoigne: I believe that except he needs to, if he’s had sufficient, if he needs to win one thing then let him depart. But I believe he’s settled at Tottenham.
Quality participant by the way in which as nicely. I went to Tottenham’s coaching floor, that’s wonderful. I’ve by no means seen a coaching floor like that. And the stadium was simply unbelievable as nicely.
Q: They’re a little bit of a bizarre staff trigger their goalkeeper Vicario performed an hour with a damaged leg final recreation. Have you ever stayed on the pitch once you’ve been injured?
Paul Gascoigne: A few instances. I used to be enjoying within the quarter finals of the FA cup and on the Friday I did my hernia and informed the gaffer I used to be struggling. I’d ripped my hernia.
Then on the Saturday we had a recreation and the gaffer stated simply to strive the nice and cozy up. And I went to the nice and cozy up and I did the opposite facet. So now I’ve ripped a double hernia. So he rang the physician and he got here down and gave me eight injections. Numbed it after which I gave the primary objective away and I’m gutted.
And then I arrange the equaliser after which I scored the winner. There was about 10 minutes to go, then the numbness wore off, so I stood on the half means line. We’d used all of our subs, I used to be conserving onside after which offside, after which about 5 minutes in the past I seemed on the time, and I stated to Terry Venables, ‘ambulance, quick.’
I managed to get match for the Arsenal one and scored that objective in opposition to Seaman.
But Tottenham can not simply depend on one participant. Look at Manchester City’s reserves staff. They might win the league in the event that they needed to. So Tottenham have gotten to construct on it.
Q: Ruud van Nistelrooy, some folks thought he was going to get the (United) job, however now he’s acquired the Leicester job. He did alright as interim supervisor of United. Do you assume he can hold Leicester within the Premier League?
Paul Gascoigne: Probably, yeah, I imply I saved on seeing photos of him and I assumed what’s he doing, he have to be simply making an look at Man United. Obviously they by no means informed us in any respect after which nothing is claimed about him, and a pair days later he was on about it once more.
That’s an honest begin for him I suppose. Now he’s come again as Leicester supervisor and that’s good as a result of he looks like a pleasant man doesn’t he?
Q: Do you keep in mind enjoying a lot at Old Trafford? In these days you had type of model new stadium however now it appears to be falling aside doesn’t it? It’s acquired a gap within the roof. Apparently they discovered some useless rats below the seats.
Paul Gascoigne: Fergie wouldn’t be pleased about any of that as a result of he needed every thing spotless. He at all times had all of the gamers when he arrived at Man United and even on the coaching floor, the gamers needed to say good day to the employees and ask them how they have been.
Look at Man City, not removed from there, of their stadium and their coaching floor. Man United have gotten to begin upping their recreation a bit in that division as nicely.
On David Coote And Referees/VAR
Q: Did you see the referee scandal? David Coot, he acquired caught up doing a little bit of Charlie.
Paul Gascoigne: Oh, did he? Pretty good on him. He will in all probability must undergo rehabilitation if he needs his job again. He will undergo that, and I wouldn’t want it on anyone like that.
Because I keep in mind me, 19 years in the past, once I was on it. I went psycho, it was horrible after which clearly I acquired sectioned by my dad. He sectioned me and it was the perfect factor he ever did. So clearly with him, if he needs his job again, then he has to do it, you realize?
Q: But what do you concentrate on the referees on the whole within the Premier League? Do you assume it’d be higher if we had international referees?
Paul Gascoigne: I don’t even know why we’ve acquired referees, with that VAR. You can think about, you’ve acquired two linesmen, you’ve acquired a referee, you’ve acquired a fourth man there, and also you’ve acquired one on the touchline. That’s 5 officers. Five after which they go to the VAR. It’s ridiculous.
And it takes ages as nicely. One of the explanations I actually hate VAR is you possibly can beat 5 gamers, rating a worldie, after which somebody’s acquired his toenail in an offside place.
Or you’ve been enjoying half an hour, you’re heat. And rapidly, VAR. And if it’s a chilly day as nicely, you’ve acquired warmed up, it’s a chilly day. And then it’s f**king VAR.
VAR takes 5 to 10 minutes. I’ve seen gamers, as quickly as they begin the sport once more, they’ve gone. And I’ve seen about 4 or 5 of their hamstrings have gone, or their calves. And it impacts the entire momentum of the sport. It’s ridiculous.
And then rapidly, all it’s going to do is both trigger a cheer or a boo after which that may trigger violence within the followers. Our soccer’s gonna find yourself like American soccer, stopping each jiffy. Why do now we have referees anymore? That’s what I take a look at.
On Newcastle United
Q: Should we speak about Newcastle for a bit?
Paul Gascoigne: I favored the thought of Eddie Howe being the England supervisor. I’m from Newcastle and it’s unbelievable. The followers work daily simply to purchase a ticket on a Saturday. There’s in all probability about 50,000 ready on the ready listing for a season ticket.
When you rating a objective at Newcastle, you assume you’ve scored a objective in a cup combat, man. It’s unbelievable. They’re good folks up in Newcastle. So Eddie, I guess his spouse can be loving up there as nicely.
And one other one, simply give him just a few bits of cash as a result of the cash’s exhausting. And the gamers are beginning to use what he’s finished very well, you realize? Newcastle can carry out very well.
Q: It’s a disgrace they’re not in Europe this season, isn’t it?
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah, I do know. The followers can be gutted.
Q: If they don’t [get back in next season], will Eddie be in a little bit of hassle?
Paul Gascoigne: Probably. I imply, I keep in mind when Graeme Souness was supervisor. I’m in my condo in Jesmond, and I believe it was Thursday, or Friday evening it was, or one thing like that.
My telephone rings and it was Graeme Souness. He stated, ‘Gazza, where are you?’ I used to be simply up the highway from the restaurant he was at along with his spouse. He needed me to return and see him as he needed a phrase with me.
I felt sorry for him. I went to the restaurant and I noticed him sitting there and I sat subsequent to him. I requested him what he needed. He requested me learn how to win the followers over.
I stated, ‘You’ve acquired to win each f**king recreation! Win each recreation, 5-0, and also you’ve acquired a f**king likelihood.’ I stated, ‘Good luck tomorrow.’
Q: You assume they didn’t like him as a result of he was Scottish?
Paul Gascoigne: I believe it was as a result of he dropped Alan Shearer. You don’t try this. Ruud Gullit did that as nicely. You can’t try this to a legend. That would have damage Shearer.
I do know he gave me a bollocking for what I stated final time, however high quality participant and also you don’t try this to gamers of his standing. He’s a man who’s capable of lead nicely. Absolute legend of the membership.
But I used to be shocked when Steven Gerrard left Glasgow Rangers for Aston Villa. That was unbelievable. I really like the way in which he’s now, so good on him.
Anyhow you don’t need to be ready the place you allow as a result of the followers like him. He’s a pleasant man, Eddie, as nicely and he’s finished nicely with that staff he’s acquired and he was solely a younger man when he went there anyway. So it’s a case of giving him cash to spend, as a result of I’m positive he is aware of what he’s going to spend it on, totally different areas across the pitch the place he wants the again up or enchancment.
Q: They’ve acquired Calum Wilson again from damage now, which is a lift, however then I believe Arsenal are attempting to purchase Alexander Isak.
Paul Gascoigne: Oh are they? See what I imply? That’s why groups like Newcastle have gotten to remain nicely and get certified for the Champions League, they’ve acquired to qualify for Europe as a result of these gamers will depart. He’s the right instance, when the suitable again from Man City, Kyle Walker. When he left Tottenham. He stated he needed to win issues and he went to Man City and received every thing. I’m positive on his days off he catches f**king pigeons, he’s fast as something.
Q: They’re saying he’s beginning to lose at this tempo somewhat bit.
Paul Gascoigne: He’s been caught out a few instances, however you realize, bless him. He’s late 30s or one thing like that.
On England/Tuchel
Q: What do you assume Thomas Tuchel, the brand new England supervisor, clearly a German accountable for England. It’s a bit controversial isn’t it, however perhaps it’s for the perfect.
Paul Gascoigne: I don’t know. I can not say Germany need an English supervisor, I can not say Spain need an English supervisor, I can not say in Portugal that they need an English supervisor. Imagine Italy, with an English supervisor, not one million years, not one in every of them nations would take an English supervisor.
You’ve acquired to present everybody an opportunity, however once I was enjoying for England, I needed to play for an English supervisor. I wouldn’t prefer to play for a international supervisor, no means. You need to play with your individual blood. And I used to be lucky, I had Bobby Robson, Terry Venables, so I used to be lucky in that means.
On His Career And Topics Outside Of Football
Q: You performed in opposition to a number of the world’s greatest gamers in your time, like Maradona. Were there any famous person gamers again then that you just thought have been overhyped, didn’t deserve as a lot hype as they acquired?
Paul Gascoigne: Carlton Palmer. Sorry Carlton.
Q: Well it’s the traditional quote, he coated each blade of grass on the pitch, however solely as a result of his first contact is so dangerous.
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah, as a result of his first contact is so dangerous. Carlton was so humorous with me, he stated, ‘Gazza, you play at Lazio, and we’re enjoying for England.’
He stated, ‘I’ve acquired an issue.’ I stated, ‘What’s your drawback?’ He says, ‘Well, tonight Gazza, I’m going to f**king work so exhausting for you. And I’ll get the ball and I’ll give it to you and switch it on. I’ll hold you entertained. I’ll get that ball.’ And he went on for about half an hour.
I stated, ‘What’s the issue?’ He went, ‘I’ve acquired Roma coming. Juventus coming. And Sampdoria coming to Wembley tonight to observe us play. So I’ve acquired to do nicely. So flip it on and I’ll hold successful the ball.’
And he wasn’t even on the fucking bench! He was devastated he didn’t get picked.
But yeah, a few of them gamers will be overrated, however I’ve performed with some high quality gamers, you realize. There have been solely two I used to be disenchanted with. When I used to be signing for Lazio I used to be questioning which gamers that they had. They had Michael Laudrup and Hagi, and there was one other participant. Three world class gamers.
When I acquired there I used to be questioning the place the entire wonderful gamers have been. They’d left. So, I felt proper b**tard. I assumed, ‘shit, they’ve left due to me.’ So I had that feeling that that they had all left due to me. Because Michael (Laudrup) went to Barcelona to generate profits. But I acquired to play with Brian (Laudrup).
Q: You informed a narrative about the way you have been turned down by the UK model of I’m a Celebrity. But would you rethink now that you just’re watching it?
Paul Gascoigne: Well the editors stated you needed to see a psychiatrist. So once I first acquired requested, clearly I’d simply come out of rehab and I wasn’t in a great way anyway. And the second time was much like the identical. The third time it was an agent.
The cash they provided was good, however my agent on the time needed the identical cash as me, in order that was one more reason to show down. And then the final two I didn’t get picked.
But after these first few exhibits I’m like, ‘Oh, God, I can’t try this, as a result of I’m fucking scared of it and I’m claustrophobic and I hate heights so I’d in all probability get voted for every thing.
I believe I might be up for it, yeah. I don’t know in regards to the parachute bounce, however I’d like to do one.
Q: Have you seen any of Vinnie Jones doing his wildlife present?
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah, I went to his place. What a spot he’s acquired. I imply, he’s acquired acres and acres of land. He’s acquired about 4 homes which he’s all doing up.
He stated, ‘Gazza, come on my show for five, just five minutes of chat.’ F**king had us there for an hour and 20 minutes, speaking and speaking.
Vinnie, God, give us a fortunate fish. It was imagined to be fishing, he was simply speaking. He’s acquired an impressive place. It’s an exquisite place he’s acquired as a result of he loves his fishing and looking and that, you realize, good on him.”
Q: Did you see any of Jake Paul in opposition to Mike Tyson?
Paul Gascoigne: Yeah, I watched it. I don’t consider it, 58. And Jake Paul, I imply Tyson was struggling along with his knee. Incredible. I wouldn’t prefer to take a punch from him.
I at all times stated to folks when he was in his prime, if somebody stated to you, ‘There’s one million quid, money, however you’ve acquired to final one minute with Mike Tyson, you wouldn’t.’
Good on Tyson, you realize. He turned up at my fortieth. I didn’t know. I used to be in my very own city and somebody stated, Mike Tyson simply turned up.
Q: If you ever had a celeb boxing match who can be your preferrred opponent? Gary Lineker?
Paul Gascoigne: I didn’t actually fall out with gamers, you realize? It wasn’t price it, I used to be too busy having fun with my soccer and all that.
I’d combat, he’s a pleasant man however acquired on my tits just a few instances, that man from Family Fortunes. The Italian man [Gino D’Campo]. I’d prefer to take him on, Family Fortunes, yeah. I’d like to get him in, as a result of he fucking winds me up really. He tells jokes and it’s not the perfect, as a result of he’s an ideal dancer and a chef or no matter. But yeah, I’d like to get him.
Q: What about darts in the meanwhile? Luke Littler and so forth.
Paul Gascoigne: I like darts, yeah, I play it. I performed Phil Taylor in a type of ones the place he used to observe. I f**king swear to you, I went, ‘what’s this man like?’ He went on his knees and he hit the bullseye.
That younger child, Luke Littler, the 17-year-old. Crazy. He’s gonna be high.”
Q: If you have been on the peak of your powers now, footballing smart, what Premier League staff do you assume you’d most go well with enjoying for?
Paul Gascoigne: It didn’t matter what staff I performed for, I at all times carried out. Pep [Guardiola], you realize, he’s calm and that. I keep in mind him and Jose Mourinho, once I met him, he stated, ‘God bless you Gazza, I would have loved to be your manager.’ Peter Reid stated the identical.
But he’d be a pleasant man to play for, you realize. That’s why I felt a bit sorry for Gareth [Southgate] on the finish, as a result of I didn’t really feel like they have been enjoying for him. When I performed soccer, I at all times performed for the supervisor and the followers.
Q: Jude Bellingham stated one thing about, it’s good to get pleasure from my soccer once more, below Lee Carsley. He stated he type of felt like he was made a scapegoat.
Paul Gascoigne: Look on the stress I had f**king getting back from the World Cup in 1990. I nonetheless carried out. I simply tried to take it like water off a duck’s again, you realize, for me as a result of I acquired adopted a lot.

Paul Gascoigne: I believe so, yeah. Because now you’ve acquired the WAGs. Some of the WAGs are extra well-known than the gamers which is a bit shameful.
Q: Have you met Jude Bellingham? He replied to your tweet on Twitter. He stated, ‘Big up Gazza.’ But I don’t know if you happen to’ve ever met him in actual life.
Paul Gascoigne: I’ve seen him in Wembley within the dressing room. He appeared like a pleasant man. I need to watch him play Jude Bellingham. I solely acquired to see him for 5 minutes, however he scored. He’s a top quality participant.
I noticed him when he was at Real Madrid so there was undoubtedly f**king one thing occurring with the supervisor, as a result of he didn’t carry out for England. I assumed, nicely, he didn’t appear that good. And I watched him once more for Real Madrid and he was excellent. I assumed wow, this child’s good. He perhaps doesn’t need to be enjoying someplace that he’s not pleased. If he wasn’t pleased in England, then clearly he’s not going to carry out.
Q: I don’t know if you happen to noticed Ed Sheeran on Super Sunday, as a result of they have been interviewing the Man United supervisor on the pitch with Gary Neville, after which Ed Sheeran got here strolling in, however the supervisor seemed a bit pissed off.
