A Liverpool fan demanding an apology from talkSPORT's Jason Cundy after his club's stellar start to the season was met with disappointment at The Sports Bar.
What's more, Cundy He hastened to put Red firmly in his place.
Liverpool continued his fantastic start to the season under new coach Arne Slot By achieving a 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
It means they not only maintain their unbeaten record in European competition, but also become the first Liverpool team to win their first six away games in a new campaign.
The Reds have delighted fans so far, and fans were naturally nervous at the start of the post-Jurgen Klopp era, but Slot has firmly quelled any fears of a post-Klopp slump with the team top of the table. of the Premier League.
in it sports bartalkSPORT presents Cundy and Jamie O'Hara invited callers to reflect on another night of great action in the Champions League.
But Reds fan Luke didn't just want to reflect on his team's victory when he called into the show.
In fact, I had something very specific to ask Cundy.
“I just want to say that Liverpool are absolutely cooking this season,” he began. “And Mr. Cundy, you owe me an apology, buddy.”
The former Chelsea defender could hardly believe what he was hearing.
“I owe you what?” he said in disbelief.
“You owe me an apology,” Luke repeated.
“We had a little chat a few months ago and you said I had no idea what I was talking about, saying Liverpool were going to do well.”
But the talkSPORT presenter was having absolutely none of that and instead directed his own question at the fan.
“What did you win?” -he asked dryly.
Luke admitted: “Nothing, yet, but…”
“Very well, why do I apologize then?” -Cundy interrupted, indicating that he would not ask for any type of forgiveness until Liverpool achieved much more success.
And he added: “I don't remember saying it.”
“Well, that's a great start,” Luke reasoned. “You said you didn't know how well he was going to do because he's a new coach.”
“No, he didn't. That's fair,” Cundy said, reflecting on the uncertainty ahead in the Slot era.
“It's not fair because we have eight games and 21 points,” Luke responded. “Sitting pretty optimistic at the top of the league.”
But Cundy explained that his initial point still stands, with much of the season ahead of Liverpool.
“I mean, I think what I said is still true,” he said. “You don't know what he's going to do.”
Luke replied again: “Well, I think we're also leaders of the Champions League, right?”
“No. No, you're not,” Cundy responded with a smile.
It was at this point that co-host O'Hara intervened and explained that, while Liverpool had been impressive in the Champions League, they were not technically top of the table, given Aston Villa's superior goal difference.
“Aston Villa is,” he explained. “You are the best outfit.”
But the caller had clearly infuriated Cundy, who went on a rant about why fans coming forward like that really bothered him.
“Look, Liverpool are starting to bother me,” he said. “It's like people like it.
“After eight games, giving it their all and beating their chest like Tarzan. They still haven't won anything!”
