:00:18. > :00:28.It is absolutely brilliant! This is getting better and better! Cristiano
:00:29. > :00:43.Ronaldo! History boys indeed! Bay have won the Cup! At hat-trick! He
:00:44. > :00:45.has done it! He has done it! Good afternoon.
:00:46. > :00:47.After last night, the title race could be over by
:00:48. > :01:00.The Conte formula has Chelsea on the brink?
:01:01. > :01:39.Heart, Head, Legs. You must have Heart, Head, Legs.
:01:40. > :01:46.You can read all about it in his book.
:01:47. > :01:56.It's been a miserable season for Arsenal.
:01:57. > :02:07.We have let him down, he has come under a lot of pressure and that is
:02:08. > :02:10.With Newcastle promoted, the gaffer is on.
:02:11. > :02:18.You have to keep working. At the moment, I am thinking like I will be
:02:19. > :02:22.At the bottom, one of Blackburn, Forest or Birmingham will go down.
:02:23. > :02:32.There is an anxiety about the club, of course, you would not expect
:02:33. > :02:35.everybody to be singing and dancing every morning.
:02:36. > :02:39.And Schmeichel at Leicester, on their Shakesperean revivial.
:02:40. > :02:42.We were going to go down all guns blazing.
:02:43. > :02:45.We've also got predictions from Kasabian.
:02:46. > :02:49.And we have two men for the big occasion in the studio - DD and KK.
:02:50. > :02:54.Spurs went to West Ham knowing a tenth straight win would take them
:02:55. > :03:02.Jonathan Pearce was watching under the Friday night lights.
:03:03. > :03:11.But tonight, as the 1,000,000th found that passes through the London
:03:12. > :03:14.Stadium turnstile, a Tottenham window while pressurising Chelsea
:03:15. > :03:17.would guarantee them a top toerag revenge for the first time in 52
:03:18. > :03:20.years, it West Ham victory guarantees they must stay up,
:03:21. > :03:28.Tottenham must win to keep alive their title dream.
:03:29. > :03:34.Lanzini is here, what he got into mines, was that a cross, or was he
:03:35. > :03:46.going for the goal? Kane either side of him, he goes for the goal, off
:03:47. > :03:51.AGN, Harry Kane and a reaction save! Her -- and Tottenham back, the best
:03:52. > :04:00.we have seen from Spurs. Lovely all brought forward to Lanzini. The
:04:01. > :04:07.check was woeful, or was it a foul or did he get the ball? He got the
:04:08. > :04:12.ball. That is a good run, Lanzini was sleeping. Ericsson across.
:04:13. > :04:23.Ageing could not make the save comfortably and that is a very good
:04:24. > :04:27.opportunity by Spurs. Son, Collins is there, Walker on the overtaxed,
:04:28. > :04:35.rose for the goal. A good save, big strong hands. The moment Spurs
:04:36. > :04:44.picked it up, it looked dangerous. Collins opened up the gap with the
:04:45. > :04:49.run, that is a good save. This is Creswell and he gets the cross in,
:04:50. > :05:02.Kouyate is in there with the drop. Lanzini! Is that the moment that the
:05:03. > :05:14.title challenge of Spurs dies? This is a title Spurs must win, Mauricio
:05:15. > :05:24.Pochettino knows that. 1-0. Very, very deep to try that. Hugo Lloris
:05:25. > :05:28.might just have kept them in the title race but Spurs nearly shot
:05:29. > :05:33.themselves in the foot, why are they are playing so deep, just outside a
:05:34. > :05:43.six yard area in a London derby, are you sure? Dire, tried to force it,
:05:44. > :05:48.Kane. Back to Ericsson. Goes for goal, and he nearly did it again. It
:05:49. > :05:57.was fearing, and spinning, and scorching through the air. This is
:05:58. > :06:06.Spurs's last chance to stay in the title race. Delhi Ali. Moussa
:06:07. > :06:13.Dembele, West Ham Wigan it back, Fletcher, Snodgrass. He placed him
:06:14. > :06:18.in, Robert Snodgrass active flexure. He beat the goalkeeper, and it goes
:06:19. > :06:25.wide. As he goes wide, and Tottenham's title chance surely goes
:06:26. > :06:29.as well, West Ham is safe for another season, Chelsea cannot win
:06:30. > :06:35.the title this weekend but tonight Tottenham have slowly lost it. 1-0.
:06:36. > :06:41.After we scored the goal, they lost composure because they wanted to
:06:42. > :06:50.score two goals in one attack. And we created more situations for the
:06:51. > :06:56.second one is to equalise. It is not over. It is true it will be
:06:57. > :07:05.difficult. Once again, it was a game that is you want to put pressure on,
:07:06. > :07:11.you should win. Now we have to wait. But thinking that will be difficult
:07:12. > :07:12.to catch Chelsea. Great night for West Ham and disappointment for
:07:13. > :07:14.Spurs. So that leaves the top
:07:15. > :07:16.of the table like this. If they beat Middlesbrough
:07:17. > :07:20.on Monday, they can seal the title with a win at West Brom next
:07:21. > :07:29.Friday night. There was a suggestion Spurs might
:07:30. > :07:31.have bottled it. You cannot say that.
:07:32. > :07:44.But if you look at the game last night. West Ham, they were really on
:07:45. > :07:51.it. They were intense and they made it almost impossible for Spurs to
:07:52. > :07:54.break through. The manager must have said in training, we are going to
:07:55. > :08:02.work on what Spurs do well and counter that. Collins in there,
:08:03. > :08:11.Fonte in there, don't move, just defend and leave Creswell and by to
:08:12. > :08:15.do what they want. Choose the right time to come and go as you please.
:08:16. > :08:21.You often have managers that say, it is what we will do, that is good
:08:22. > :08:24.coaching. To know what the opposition will do against them and
:08:25. > :08:29.where to your own strength against that. It is perfect. There are
:08:30. > :08:33.examples of how it worked for them. And they kept it really sample.
:08:34. > :08:40.Defenders defended. This is West Ham being organised. Making Spurs do
:08:41. > :08:47.what they want them to do. The happy for them to have the ball. If you
:08:48. > :08:51.watch here, so many passes, all safe passes in front of West Ham, and if
:08:52. > :08:55.you watch, the last past does not have to be played. It goes to the
:08:56. > :09:02.right side centre-half, no forward pass, the right side centre-half.
:09:03. > :09:07.That is a pass. Just there. He does not take it. He has already made
:09:08. > :09:11.that pass. Creswell does not want to engage because he knows the main
:09:12. > :09:16.thing is, we will sit to narrow as a fried at times when you have it in
:09:17. > :09:21.front of us. Two wingbacks wiki. But that is the manager, Slaven Bilic
:09:22. > :09:24.thinking, we have worked on this in chaining, it is working great and
:09:25. > :09:28.the boys are doing what we have is asked them to do. And that was the
:09:29. > :09:34.only goal from Lanzini. Squeezing the ball well. And that was not a
:09:35. > :09:37.fluke, that pass. And noble new exactly where that was going and
:09:38. > :09:42.Lanzini did this all night, he attacked the full-backs and
:09:43. > :09:49.defenders. They get a bit lucky, Creswell,, but so many issues that
:09:50. > :09:53.Spurs should have eliminated. A number of errors could have been
:09:54. > :09:56.eradicated. Creswell getting forward. He was prepared to sit deep
:09:57. > :10:07.and get forward at the right times and he did it preferably. The three
:10:08. > :10:12.people here, Son, Dyer, and Jan Vertonghen. Watch these players,
:10:13. > :10:18.three massive mistakes. Conversely, I will tell you, Son should have
:10:19. > :10:21.stayed with the scorer, Lanzini. Dier appeals for handball, get on
:10:22. > :10:28.with the game. And you have a player who should have made a tackle. Son
:10:29. > :10:31.has left Lanzini. At least communicate with someone, Dyer has
:10:32. > :10:35.his hand in the air and Jan Vertonghen, as the last man, you
:10:36. > :10:40.have to be strong and make the challenge and those errors cost
:10:41. > :10:43.Spurs. As a forward play and defender, making tackles like that
:10:44. > :10:49.in your box you are asking for trouble. It is not the way it went.
:10:50. > :10:54.What about the backcountry, let's touch on that again. Reid and Fonte
:10:55. > :11:01.and Collins were excellent. They just offended. Three players that
:11:02. > :11:05.good, they go back to basics, just defend first, organise, let you of
:11:06. > :11:09.full-back players have go and come as you see fit, not as they see fit.
:11:10. > :11:15.That is a great tackle from Fonte. The manager has conceded that he has
:11:16. > :11:22.had four clean sheets in the last five. And prior to that, 13 goals in
:11:23. > :11:25.five games prior to that. So you look at how he has sorted the
:11:26. > :11:29.structure of the side defensively and with the experience they bring,
:11:30. > :11:36.Collins sitting in the middle of the three, he is the dictator to Fonte
:11:37. > :11:39.and Reid alongside him. That experience and Premier League
:11:40. > :11:44.mentality we have got, that is what saw them through. This is what West
:11:45. > :11:49.Ham did, they forced West Ham to try and play, Tottenham, sorry, to play
:11:50. > :11:53.hard passes through West Ham and it did not happen. West Ham expected
:11:54. > :11:57.that. The space was round the outside, Spurs tried to play West
:11:58. > :12:02.Ham, they could not do it, it was too tight and to organised. The team
:12:03. > :12:06.that had the best chance in the second half was West Ham as well.
:12:07. > :12:10.From their perspective, it was a great performance against 18 they
:12:11. > :12:20.like playing against. How many times do you see that, losing the ball,
:12:21. > :12:26.Dembele? Slaven Bilic desperate for the game to end and he was content.
:12:27. > :12:30.It is against Spurs, local derby, it is about bragging rights and getting
:12:31. > :12:34.the points we need to stay up. I thought Spurs had a go, they had a
:12:35. > :12:38.proper goal and they were not rubbish, let me tell you. West Ham
:12:39. > :12:43.were brilliant. That is the key, they know it is over. West Ham need
:12:44. > :12:55.a big performance in this stadium so going it into next season, they can
:12:56. > :12:58.feel like it is our home. Eight days rest now. Manchester United have the
:12:59. > :13:02.second leg of the rugby league and this is how the rest of the Premier
:13:03. > :13:05.week -- Premier League weekend looks.
:13:06. > :13:07.We'll get the team news from the early kickoff
:13:08. > :13:09.between Manchester City and Crystal Palace shortly.
:13:10. > :13:11.Palace still need points to confirm their survival.
:13:12. > :13:13.And at the bottom, Hull and Swansea are both at home,
:13:14. > :13:15.as they fight it out to avoid the drop.
:13:16. > :13:19.Tomorrow, three of the top six are in action in the race for Europe.
:13:20. > :13:21.Whilst Monday night sees Chelsea at home to a Middlesbrough team
:13:22. > :13:26.desperate for points if they're to have any chance of surviving.
:13:27. > :13:32.Every game is very tough because there is a lot of pressure. It is
:13:33. > :13:41.important. Don't make mistakes because it is
:13:42. > :13:46.very difficult them to recover. But we are ready. We are ready to fight.
:13:47. > :13:51.We are ready to play these four games.
:13:52. > :13:58.But Chelsea in a great position and with the Cup Final coming as well,
:13:59. > :14:02.you could argue that office gave is Boro, who took points off Manchester
:14:03. > :14:06.City last week, can you see a slip-up from Chelsea? That is the
:14:07. > :14:11.only way with Boro having something to play for, they have to win the
:14:12. > :14:16.game at Stamford Bridge, imagine that with that mindset! They might
:14:17. > :14:18.try and force issues in this game which I think will play into the
:14:19. > :14:22.hands of Chelsea because of how disciplined and how good they are
:14:23. > :14:25.and how well they break. Middlesbrough might go for the
:14:26. > :14:26.physical approach. Unfortunately, Chelsea ticked all the boxes, they
:14:27. > :14:37.can do the physical thing. This is in November, Chelsea got the
:14:38. > :14:42.only goal. In a scrappy game. When I showed you the fixtures, the think
:14:43. > :14:46.they will win everything. Yes, I cannot see them slipping up, they
:14:47. > :14:50.are that good. Middlesbrough is the hardest because they have something
:14:51. > :14:53.to play for, that will be a proper physical scrapped and they will try
:14:54. > :14:57.and play football. Middlesbrough, the best thing they can do is go,
:14:58. > :15:01.and make it as ugly as possible but I do not think they will get
:15:02. > :15:10.anything out of that game. And Boro have to play Liverpool so tough
:15:11. > :15:15.games. At the other end of the table, Hull City and Swansea in
:15:16. > :15:21.action this afternoon and both at home and is the record of Hull since
:15:22. > :15:40.the Marco Silva turned up that could save the Tigers.
:15:41. > :15:47.The serious stuff starts here for new Hull boss Marco Silva. Oh, what
:15:48. > :15:57.a shot! Marco is of has three precious points in the bag. Oumar
:15:58. > :16:00.Niasse in on goal, to seal it, surely, for Hull City? He is proving
:16:01. > :16:05.himself to be a big character in this part of East Yorkshire. Could
:16:06. > :16:18.be a big moment. Oh, it's in! And it comes through to Oumar
:16:19. > :16:26.Niasse! Well, that is surely game won. He thinks so. Headed in by
:16:27. > :16:41.Ranocchia! The day belongs to Marco Silva and Fortress KCOM Absolutely
:16:42. > :16:44.buried by Maguire! 4-2, Hull. Fantastic shot! Another remarkable
:16:45. > :16:50.chapter in this remarkable Hull City story under Marco Silva. It is
:16:51. > :16:52.important to us that we play at home, we play again in our stadium,
:16:53. > :17:00.but we need to try to win. An incredible record, relegated
:17:01. > :17:04.Sunderland have visited this afternoon and Guy Mowbray is there.
:17:05. > :17:07.Good afternoon. They are on a wonderful home run, Hull, still in a
:17:08. > :17:13.relegation scrap and plenty of uncertainty about the future of the
:17:14. > :17:16.manager this week as well. Yes and it is not really surprising because
:17:17. > :17:21.whatever happens to Hull, if they are relegated or stay up, Marco
:17:22. > :17:24.Silvestri most certainly going to be a man in demand with the job he has
:17:25. > :17:28.done so far here admired far and wide. If there are Premier League
:17:29. > :17:32.jobs available this summer, his name will certainly be in the discussion.
:17:33. > :17:36.He's also been linked with a return to Portugal, his homeland, because
:17:37. > :17:40.FC Porto, it has been reported from if they don't win the league, they
:17:41. > :17:45.will dispense with the services of their manager, as claimed in the
:17:46. > :17:49.Portuguese media. They are three points behind Benfica with three to
:17:50. > :17:52.play at the moment. Hull fans will monitor their result tonight with
:17:53. > :17:56.interest because they will want Marco Silva to stay. We understand
:17:57. > :17:59.he's got a relegation clause in his contract so he would be able to
:18:00. > :18:03.leave if they go down but if they fail, we will marvel at the job he
:18:04. > :18:07.has done. It had backing in January from the owners which has been
:18:08. > :18:11.admirable. It is a club in turmoil, and has been all season long, off
:18:12. > :18:16.the field protests and we understand the club is still for sale. The
:18:17. > :18:21.question, why would he go, we should really say why wouldn't he go to
:18:22. > :18:24.somewhere more stable? If his stock is high, what David Moyes who says
:18:25. > :18:29.he wants to stay at Sunderland even though they are going down? He wants
:18:30. > :18:33.to stay, he said that yesterday in the press Conference. He's got a
:18:34. > :18:37.four-year contract and after initial discussions with owner, Ellis Short
:18:38. > :18:40.and CEO, Martin Bain, he thinks he is in position to get Sunderland
:18:41. > :18:47.back into the Premier League, saying he knows what needs to be done. I'm
:18:48. > :18:49.not sure it's quite so cut and dried just yet. The next four games, even
:18:50. > :18:52.though Sunderland are down, will play a big part but they have to see
:18:53. > :18:55.good performances and players playing for him and maybe not just
:18:56. > :18:57.see it, it is what they hear from the supporters which could be
:18:58. > :19:01.important as well because a lot of Sunderland fans are unhappy with the
:19:02. > :19:03.announcement, such as it was coming yesterday, and they will be sure to
:19:04. > :19:07.make their feelings clear if they don't feel he's the right man going
:19:08. > :19:11.forward. Something strikes me, we have talked about the instability of
:19:12. > :19:16.the field at Hull but the same goes for Sunderland, so many questions
:19:17. > :19:18.about what is going on behind the scenes. When you look from the
:19:19. > :19:21.Premier League down to the nationally, it is not the case with
:19:22. > :19:25.every club but with a lot of the pubs being relegated this season, it
:19:26. > :19:28.is all to do with off the field, you can't possibly be successful on the
:19:29. > :19:32.field if you are a bit of a shambles in the background. Lessons for quite
:19:33. > :19:34.a few clubs. Plenty more from Guy Mowbray on final score and Match of
:19:35. > :19:42.the Day later. Your former clubs, Hull and
:19:43. > :19:46.Sunderland. Bit of a theme! At the wrong end of the table but Hull can
:19:47. > :19:51.do this, can't they? They are in a good position, two points above
:19:52. > :19:54.Swansea. In a great position and we have spoken so openly in admiration
:19:55. > :20:00.of markers were and the job he has done. They've picked up 19 points
:20:01. > :20:03.from 21 at home. It is an incredible turnaround for Hull, the way it was
:20:04. > :20:07.going and Guy Mowbray touched on something that he was backed in
:20:08. > :20:10.January which was the key for him, players like Ranocchia, Lazar
:20:11. > :20:15.Markovic and Oumar Niasse, because he did not look a player at Everton,
:20:16. > :20:19.he has got so much out of him. Being backed in the transfer market was
:20:20. > :20:22.the because Mike Phelan and Steve Bruce were not backed by the owners
:20:23. > :20:27.and that has been key for Hull but take nothing away from what Silva
:20:28. > :20:31.has done and how organised they are. From David Moyes' 's perspective, he
:20:32. > :20:34.is thinking they can go down and do what Newcastle have done and gone
:20:35. > :20:37.straight back up so interesting to see what happens at them over the
:20:38. > :20:41.summer. For Hull, it's all about the home record. But Swansea's salvation
:20:42. > :20:49.could rest with the Iceman. A lot of us are now thriving on the
:20:50. > :20:58.pressure and we need the pressure to perform. Sigurdsson's shot! Gylfi
:20:59. > :21:03.Sigurdsson has done it again. Flick from Gylfi Sigurdsson.
:21:04. > :21:11.Over the course of the season, you said yourself targets. Sigurdsson
:21:12. > :21:18.full Swansea, 2-1. When Swansea need, Gylfi Sigurdsson delivers. On
:21:19. > :21:23.by Sigurdsson and Alfie Mawson is free! It is going to come to
:21:24. > :21:34.Sigurdsson! Magnificent breakaway goal from
:21:35. > :21:37.Swansea. Sigurdsson, did he look under pressure? Certainly not.
:21:38. > :21:49.Pressure helps you perform. Sigurdsson's penalty gives Swansea a
:21:50. > :21:52.precious lead. Focus on what you are trying to do, getting the ball over
:21:53. > :22:02.the wall. Oh, it is a superb goal! He certainly has been a real Swansea
:22:03. > :22:06.star this season and when you look at those statistics, he is highly
:22:07. > :22:11.ranked in everything you would want from a player in that position. Yes,
:22:12. > :22:14.and in a team that is having a bit of bad time, down there in the
:22:15. > :22:19.relegation fight but to get nine goals and 12 assists. He is the kind
:22:20. > :22:21.of player you have to look to in times like this.
:22:22. > :22:28.You look for the workers. That free kick, when you see that from behind
:22:29. > :22:31.the goal, he sets it out so far that no deeper in the world has got a
:22:32. > :22:36.chance of saving. That is his quality. He has not just done it
:22:37. > :22:40.then, he's done it time and again, he is reliable. If you've got a
:22:41. > :22:43.quality player that is reliable and will give you performances all the
:22:44. > :22:49.time, it is very important. Gavin, if you want a stat this weekend, he
:22:50. > :22:53.will be the 32nd different player to achieve double figures in goals and
:22:54. > :22:59.assists in a Premier League season. That's a great one. Are you part of
:23:00. > :23:06.that as well? I don't think I am part of that unique band of players.
:23:07. > :23:08.They take on Everton this weekend, lots of talk about Margot Silver and
:23:09. > :23:12.David Moyes and speculation about Ronald Koeman's future as well,
:23:13. > :23:15.possibly going to Barcelona. I remember filming there a few years
:23:16. > :23:19.ago when Johann Cruyff was named honorary president and Ronald Koeman
:23:20. > :23:22.was there and club have for so many former players, they hold him in
:23:23. > :23:27.really high regard. Particularly with the situation there as well. We
:23:28. > :23:30.know full well well he has got admiration for the club and he wants
:23:31. > :23:34.that job eventually, I'm sure that will be the case but not
:23:35. > :23:36.necessarily, I feel as though Everton are building something and
:23:37. > :23:40.with Ronald Koeman in charge, they can build something in the next
:23:41. > :23:44.years. Particularly if they go to the new stadium as well. I think the
:23:45. > :23:48.backbone of what he has got, the young players coming through, if he
:23:49. > :23:55.was to hang about for another season or two, let's said he wants to
:23:56. > :23:58.Sigurdsson, we don't know, players like that will only make Everton
:23:59. > :24:01.stronger. Everton will invest this summer and I think they can go to
:24:02. > :24:05.the next level. On the Everton playing side, plenty of kind words
:24:06. > :24:09.this week for Aaron Lennon. I'm sure you have seen yourself that he was
:24:10. > :24:11.detained under the Mental Health Act. Full support from the club and
:24:12. > :24:16.the fans and right across football as well. You hope he gets the help
:24:17. > :24:20.he needs. Exactly, the PFA have helped him as well in any way they
:24:21. > :24:25.can. Of course, we are all with him and hopefully in the next few
:24:26. > :24:26.months, he gets back playing and gets himself recovered and he's in a
:24:27. > :24:28.good place. Both Swansea and Hull's matches
:24:29. > :24:34.will feature prominently on Final Score this afternoon,
:24:35. > :24:37.from 4:30pm on BBC One. MOTD at 10:20 pm will have
:24:38. > :24:39.Danny Murphy and "Zinedine" And then tomorrow night,
:24:40. > :24:45.Match of the Day 2 is at 10:30pm, followed by a special Match
:24:46. > :24:49.of the Day on Monday night to cover That's at 10:45pm in
:24:50. > :24:54.England, later elsewhere. Right, let's get to the Etihad,
:24:55. > :24:58.where fourth-placed Manchester City are in action in the early kick-off
:24:59. > :25:11.this afternoon Yes, Dan, the top four finish or
:25:12. > :25:14.Manchester City is still in their hands but they must search for their
:25:15. > :25:20.victory today without the injured top scorer, Sergio Aguero, who has
:25:21. > :25:23.13 goals in his last 14 games. John Stones is also still out but Pep
:25:24. > :25:27.Guardiola is boosted by the return of David Silva after injury. Also
:25:28. > :25:32.recall for Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling to support Gabriel Jesus up
:25:33. > :25:37.front. He has four goals in six Premier League games so far. Just
:25:38. > :25:40.the one change for Palace, Sam Allardyce drops Damien Delaney to
:25:41. > :25:43.the bench and brings in Jeff Schlupp, who we understand is going
:25:44. > :25:49.to play alongside Martin Kelly at the heart of the defence, with the
:25:50. > :25:52.likes of Sakho, Scott Dann and James Tomkins all unavailable. Andros
:25:53. > :25:56.Townsend has been passed fit after a knock in training yesterday. Palace
:25:57. > :25:57.cannot relax just yet, Manchester City more than aware of their recent
:25:58. > :26:05.results against the big boys. Confirmation of the teams, as Steve
:26:06. > :26:11.was saying, Manchester City without bravo and Guerreiro as well. It is a
:26:12. > :26:15.big one for Manchester City. We will deal with their opponents in a
:26:16. > :26:20.minute. But they have to get in the top four, don't they, simple as
:26:21. > :26:24.that? Totally, that is the way it is. It would be Guardiola's lowest
:26:25. > :26:30.placed finish as a manager anyway, as it is. It is paramount that the
:26:31. > :26:32.whole project of Manchester City is the Champions League football and
:26:33. > :26:36.really challenging for Premier League titles. If they don't, that
:26:37. > :26:40.will be in extremely poor season. Keeping hold of the players as well,
:26:41. > :26:44.getting in the Champions League, keeping the players, it comes hand
:26:45. > :26:47.because they have got a great backbone of players but you can't
:26:48. > :26:53.attract attractive players without having good players there. Palace
:26:54. > :26:58.not completely clear of danger, and as you can see, Jeff Schlupp in
:26:59. > :27:03.central defence. Short of players. They are. I don't think it will be a
:27:04. > :27:06.problem. It is not ideal, the centre-back pairing but I don't
:27:07. > :27:10.think it will be a problem and Palace ROK and I've got enough games
:27:11. > :27:14.to get the points they need. They've got quality going forward as well.
:27:15. > :27:15.More than enough and I think with a manager, they will be solid and
:27:16. > :27:22.would concede and will score. Manchester City have to play
:27:23. > :27:27.Liverpool. We've got to show you the Emre Can goal from Monday night, a
:27:28. > :27:33.reminder of the quality of this strike. Have either of you ever
:27:34. > :27:40.graced a football pitch with a finish like that? Kevin? I scored an
:27:41. > :27:44.overhead kick with a similar kind of distance but probably not with a
:27:45. > :27:48.great technique. I like how he just himself, he recognises he can't head
:27:49. > :27:52.the ball to anyone else, I just his feet and that is world-class. It is
:27:53. > :27:57.a difficult skill to do and not many of us can do it! I know we talk
:27:58. > :28:03.about this, the Trevor Sinclair one, he says the reason why he did not
:28:04. > :28:07.chest it down will try to control was it was so tired he thought he
:28:08. > :28:11.would just win a leg at it. But that one is difficult because it was
:28:12. > :28:14.coming from behind, we've heard it before, he is running forward and he
:28:15. > :28:17.has to turn around, it is very difficult. Emre Can is out of
:28:18. > :28:21.contract at the end of next season and it's a big dive in. I like him
:28:22. > :28:24.and think he's got a lot to offer, not been consistent enough but he
:28:25. > :28:30.needs to stay at and build long-term. When you look at it
:28:31. > :28:31.again, look at Heurelho Gomes' our eyes, "Not from their!" It is
:28:32. > :28:33.beautiful. Tomorrow, sixth-placed Arsenal
:28:34. > :28:35.take on the team a place The Gunners' midfielder Aaron Ramsey
:28:36. > :28:52.has been talking to Rachel Stringer. Ramsey onside, Ramsey with a dinked!
:28:53. > :28:57.Aaron Ramsey for Wales! Coming into this season as a Welsh hero, how
:28:58. > :29:03.much of an impact has that had on the season? Yeah, it was obviously a
:29:04. > :29:06.great summer for me personally, for our country and I was excited coming
:29:07. > :29:10.into the season but obviously, I broke down in the first game and
:29:11. > :29:13.that was a bit frustrating. Yeah, it's been another stop start season
:29:14. > :29:20.for me personally and download frustrating one. -- another
:29:21. > :29:25.frustrating one. Dele Alli has turned it in! And Spurs have two,
:29:26. > :29:29.Dele Alli and Kane, the deadly double act. We were disappointed and
:29:30. > :29:34.frustrated after that, we conceded two sloppy goals. Until then, I
:29:35. > :29:37.thought we were well in the game and quite organised and we had a couple
:29:38. > :29:41.of chances but they punished us with two quick goals and it was to
:29:42. > :29:44.recover. Mesut Ozil apparently kicked the door after that game
:29:45. > :29:49.which showed the frustration of the players. Of course, there were a few
:29:50. > :29:52.things said after the game. Ultimately, we went into the game
:29:53. > :29:56.full of confidence, we had a few good results, but yeah, it was not
:29:57. > :30:00.to be on the day. Everybody had their own way of showing it. This
:30:01. > :30:06.season, you have said that maybe the team have let Arsene Wenger downward
:30:07. > :30:09.is quite a strong. We have. He has this belief in us and he trusts us
:30:10. > :30:13.to go out there and play to our strengths and sometimes it has not
:30:14. > :30:16.been good enough this year. That is what I mean by we have let him down.
:30:17. > :30:19.He's come under a lot of pressure and that is partly our fault as
:30:20. > :30:22.well. We could do all the preparation throughout the week but
:30:23. > :30:25.if we don't match the intensity and fight on the weekend, we are always
:30:26. > :30:30.going to be up against it and perhaps at times, the concentration
:30:31. > :30:37.has not been where it needs to be in every game.
:30:38. > :30:44.As speculation in practice on the players? No, I don't think so, it
:30:45. > :30:48.has been in the press a lot and we have to put up that to the back of
:30:49. > :30:52.our minds and carry on as if he is our manager and we go into every
:30:53. > :30:56.game not thinking about that and concentrating on trying to win it.
:30:57. > :31:01.Is the pressure really are now to finish in the top four? Of course,
:31:02. > :31:06.the loss against Spurs has put us behind. We have a game against
:31:07. > :31:10.Manchester United which it we must win. Do you think they will put out
:31:11. > :31:14.a weaker team? It is hard for a team like that to put out a weaker team,
:31:15. > :31:18.they have quality players, they are a massive club and we have to be on
:31:19. > :31:22.top of our game to get a result. How would you and your players rate this
:31:23. > :31:26.season if Arsene does not have Champions League football next
:31:27. > :31:31.season? We have to wait and see after the season, but we just have
:31:32. > :31:35.to see where it takes is with our remaining games. Hopefully, we can
:31:36. > :31:46.achieve that and finish off with an FA Cup final at the end. And Ramsey
:31:47. > :31:51.scores for Arsenal in added time here at Wembley! How important is
:31:52. > :31:57.the FA Cup to you and the squad now? It is massive. To win something any
:31:58. > :32:00.season, a successful season, you want to have something to show at
:32:01. > :32:03.the end of your career and the FA Cup has been good to others in the
:32:04. > :32:08.last few years and hopefully we can carry on our good form in this. We
:32:09. > :32:11.know it will be unbelievably difficult against a team like
:32:12. > :32:17.Chelsea, but we have it in us to produce a performance and end on a
:32:18. > :32:20.positive result. We are looking forward to that. Hopefully, we can
:32:21. > :32:25.turn it around to be a successful season. But it is an awkward time to
:32:26. > :32:29.be interviewed because he has to be honest and open about what the
:32:30. > :32:32.season has done for him and the club and it has been a difficult season
:32:33. > :32:38.with the injuries he has had. And he has said that they have partly let
:32:39. > :32:43.the players down, in his words, sorry, the manager. He is right and
:32:44. > :32:47.brave in saying that. And think Wenger has detected a lot of the
:32:48. > :32:50.blame as well, but the players have to stand up and be counted, they
:32:51. > :32:54.have not performed how Arsenal showed. With those players, Arsenal
:32:55. > :33:02.should be top three, temp two, without a shadow of a doubt. Another
:33:03. > :33:07.raft of -- statistics! Arsenal 21 points behind Chelsea, this is death
:33:08. > :33:12.against six when it is to be the top game in the Premier League, -- this
:33:13. > :33:18.is the fifth. The last time the boat finished outside the top four in the
:33:19. > :33:24.top division was 1979. It is strange how things turn out. It is
:33:25. > :33:28.incredible. We think what this game has meant to the Premier League.
:33:29. > :33:32.Over the last 20 years, we thought this was a title decider and we
:33:33. > :33:37.thought of it having real and intensity. And it does not have that
:33:38. > :33:44.feel about it, and he said he would make changes. He is saying the rugby
:33:45. > :33:50.league is the priority. Arsenal across the season have been poor and
:33:51. > :33:53.this uncertainty has not helped the situation -- the Europa League. It
:33:54. > :33:57.is good that the players notice they have let the manager down and
:33:58. > :34:02.themselves and the fans as well. It is good they noticed that and you
:34:03. > :34:05.have to sometimes approach it, issues like that, and be brave
:34:06. > :34:10.enough to say it, and say that to him. And the Marcus Rashford free
:34:11. > :34:16.kick comedy think it was a good goal or bad goalkeeping? It has got to be
:34:17. > :34:21.good, and he hit it with such pace and power and because of maybe Daley
:34:22. > :34:26.Blind running over the ball, he maybe thinks migratory is going
:34:27. > :34:33.over. Keeper should save it from his side. But the technique is great.
:34:34. > :34:36.Rashford, it was great, but the goalkeeper was rubbish. I will tell
:34:37. > :34:39.Ray Wilkins, thank you! That match will almost certainly be
:34:40. > :34:49.watched closely by this fella. Everybody wants me to continue but I
:34:50. > :34:53.do not want to continue and then start losing because I hate losing.
:34:54. > :34:59.I have a bet with my managers, they did meet 30 macro years! Usain Bolt
:35:00. > :35:02.the final chapter, up-to-date on BBC One.
:35:03. > :35:04.We shall be watching The Battle of the Bulge.
:35:05. > :35:06.In the Championship, Newcastle or Brighton will fight it
:35:07. > :35:11.The Toon have been guided back to the Premier League
:35:12. > :35:13.by Rafa Benitez, who stayed after relegation last season,
:35:14. > :35:18.and has been looking ahead with Juliette Ferrington.
:35:19. > :35:27.This is fact -- this is Victor Janmaat, and he scores, the future
:35:28. > :35:31.could well be bright under Rafa Benitez. The fans and the players
:35:32. > :35:38.are have had their say, Rafa, you must stay. The reception you must
:35:39. > :35:41.have had on the last day of their season, that persuaded you to stay?
:35:42. > :35:45.Yes, I would say not just the reception of the last day, from the
:35:46. > :35:52.first day, the fans were amazing with me. The last eight against
:35:53. > :35:59.Tottenham, everybody was singing my name and I could say it could be the
:36:00. > :36:02.key in terms of my decision after I've met Mike Ashley and we were
:36:03. > :36:07.talking about the future and talking with my family. So we knew that the
:36:08. > :36:14.best thing for me, for them, for us and maybe for everyone here was just
:36:15. > :36:19.to stay and try to go up as soon as we could. What is that relationship
:36:20. > :36:23.like now with the fans? They think they appreciate I decided to stay.
:36:24. > :36:28.And also, the effort of everyone here every single date. From day
:36:29. > :36:33.one, the fans and the members of staff, everybody, was pushing and
:36:34. > :36:36.doing things up to try and go in the same direction. It was quite easy
:36:37. > :36:42.and quite difficult at the same time. How special with this weekend
:36:43. > :36:48.be for you? Yes, I am trying to send another message across. We have done
:36:49. > :36:52.our job, we have achieved what we wanted to achieve. So please, so
:36:53. > :36:57.happy. We believe we can be champions, and it would be even
:36:58. > :37:01.better. What is it about this club that you really like? I would say
:37:02. > :37:06.that my family is in Liverpool and my relationship with English fans is
:37:07. > :37:10.quite good. In Liverpool and coming here, you could see a lot of
:37:11. > :37:14.similarities between the Scousers and the Geordies. It is a City of
:37:15. > :37:21.workers, people have passion and they work very hard. Do you have a
:37:22. > :37:26.preference in terms of the accident, Scouse, Geordie? I have problems
:37:27. > :37:31.with both. I understand better the Scousers because my little daughter
:37:32. > :37:41.is talking with a Scouse accent. Very fast for me, but when I say no,
:37:42. > :37:46.she understands. With the right tools in place, what could be
:37:47. > :37:52.achieved here? New -- Newcastle United is a big club and we have to
:37:53. > :37:56.manage it now. As I said before, some people will expect we have to
:37:57. > :37:59.challenge and maybe try to be in Europe and some people will be happy
:38:00. > :38:02.just avoiding relegation, so we need to look the sure the message is the
:38:03. > :38:08.right message and the fans understand the best weight to go as
:38:09. > :38:14.high as you can in the table is to stay calm and support the team and
:38:15. > :38:16.keep the professionalism and do a good job. You need the money to
:38:17. > :38:23.build and you will have to act quickly. One thing I did not like in
:38:24. > :38:26.the pass was that Rafa is asking for this figure, they will give him less
:38:27. > :38:31.money. We have not talked about that, how much money, so we have not
:38:32. > :38:35.had the meeting we will have to have. And we will talk about that in
:38:36. > :38:42.the future. It is not that I am asking for this figure, we have to
:38:43. > :38:45.be realistic and I expect the conversation will be positive,
:38:46. > :38:49.constructive and after that, everybody will be happy. But people
:38:50. > :38:54.do say you are a political manager and you do like a little bit of a
:38:55. > :39:00.battle. I would say no. My best time as a manager has been my first years
:39:01. > :39:05.in Liverpool and I did not have any problems. I was over the Munich
:39:06. > :39:09.because you want to concentrate on your football and hopefully
:39:10. > :39:13.everything we will be fine and we will enjoy it and have everybody --
:39:14. > :39:17.and have what everybody wants. What about you, does this mean you will
:39:18. > :39:21.say? That means I will be working very hard and I do not now how you
:39:22. > :39:25.say expression in English, I want to see the owner and hopefully
:39:26. > :39:29.everything will be OK. It seems like you have plans in place to achieve
:39:30. > :39:33.something with this club. We are already working on the positions and
:39:34. > :39:38.everything. It does not matter if you stay all you go, you have to
:39:39. > :39:39.keep working. At the moment, I'm thinking I will be here for ten
:39:40. > :39:49.years. One terms plans and he has an
:39:50. > :39:57.impressive CV. Offers of huge offers from China for huge amounts to stay.
:39:58. > :40:04.He has only met Mike Ashley the owner once in 14 months at the club.
:40:05. > :40:08.That is rubbish. The rumour is rubbish? Surely you have to have a
:40:09. > :40:11.better relationship. You do not want to Mike Ashley on the training
:40:12. > :40:15.ground and in the dressing room interfering, but you have to have a
:40:16. > :40:23.little bit more connection, finding out what is going on and plans for
:40:24. > :40:27.the future. Benitez once plans for the future and he has a relationship
:40:28. > :40:32.with the go-between, Mike Charnley, but he does need that relationship.
:40:33. > :40:36.But it has been great. You said a bit surprised that he stayed, I
:40:37. > :40:40.would not be surprised if he left. He has long-term plans, but he needs
:40:41. > :40:43.a structure and he needs bonds. So don't meeting next week between
:40:44. > :40:51.Benitez and Ashley is crucial to decide how much they could spend. I
:40:52. > :40:55.believe the future is bright for Newcastle with the Rafa. But they
:40:56. > :40:59.were to lose him, they would go back in a few steps. And think of the
:41:00. > :41:03.support he has, he has total support from everyone connected with the
:41:04. > :41:07.club. Everything is going the right way for Newcastle, the fans, players
:41:08. > :41:10.and staff, together, and pulling the same way. Wheezing would be massive.
:41:11. > :41:13.They love him in Newcastle and didn't Liverpool, who he has great
:41:14. > :41:15.reputations. Whilst Newcastle are looking up,
:41:16. > :41:17.it's a bleak picture One of Blackburn, Nottingham Forest
:41:18. > :41:20.or Birmingham City It's so tight that Blackburn
:41:21. > :41:24.could win and go down, Mark Clemmitt has been to Ewood Park
:41:25. > :41:55.to hear about their predicament. It is like a ferry story! Amazing,
:41:56. > :41:58.they are champions all is up what you reckon he would make of what has
:41:59. > :42:03.happened over the last five years? Is turning in his grave, it has been
:42:04. > :42:06.the most miserable six years, but we supporters and we are supposed to
:42:07. > :42:09.support the club stop the majority of things we are doing now what
:42:10. > :42:15.happens if we're going into Administration or the West happens?
:42:16. > :42:19.Is there a practical way out of this? Unless there is structural
:42:20. > :42:23.change at the club and unless the owners decide that they have got to
:42:24. > :42:30.now get rid of their unwanted baby, I don't think there is. Around us is
:42:31. > :42:33.the infrastructure of a superbly run Premier League club that always shot
:42:34. > :42:39.above its weight, we are the most successful town club in Britain. You
:42:40. > :42:47.have got to keep hope we probably prepared the worst. Has anybody at
:42:48. > :42:57.your newspaper had any communication direct with them over the last five
:42:58. > :43:01.years? We are told they are private and that seems to be the way they
:43:02. > :43:06.run their businesses. This could get a lot worse, I reckon ?130 million
:43:07. > :43:10.they have underpinned in loans. There has been talk of
:43:11. > :43:14.Administration and what happens if they do go down but the bankers put
:43:15. > :43:18.the money in, but where a club like this goes if it drops to League One,
:43:19. > :43:26.attendance would fall and players as well, the sadly more departures. Do
:43:27. > :43:33.you have dialogue with the owners? No. Why not? I think that is the way
:43:34. > :43:39.this club is run. They have evil in between. I am a coach and I like to
:43:40. > :43:44.work on the breast with players but I'd better understand financial
:43:45. > :43:48.resources helps you get better matches. I got a lot of texts from
:43:49. > :43:52.experience people saying I was a glutton for punishment taking this
:43:53. > :43:59.job. I see Blackburn Rovers is a fantastic club. Do you fear the
:44:00. > :44:03.fallout of potential relegation. The players and staff, they are all
:44:04. > :44:07.aware of that and there is an anxiety about the club and you would
:44:08. > :44:11.not expect everybody to be singing and dancing every morning.
:44:12. > :44:14.Frustrating we have not been able to string together the four or five on
:44:15. > :44:20.the grounds you need to win and get out of the predicament. How on Earth
:44:21. > :44:24.are you going to manage the game? It could come down to a goal elsewhere
:44:25. > :44:28.that changes your game or what you need to do. It will happen, of
:44:29. > :44:33.course, I will not focus on it until somebody whispered in my ear or the
:44:34. > :44:37.fans in the stands started cheering. We could even lose the match and
:44:38. > :44:41.still stay up. Nottingham Forest could lose by more goals than the
:44:42. > :44:46.goal difference could swing in our way. We will give it our best shot
:44:47. > :44:50.and we are playing against a good team, we know that, but hope fully
:44:51. > :44:52.our extra intensity and desire will push is over the line to get a
:44:53. > :45:10.victory. It makes you feel sick thinking
:45:11. > :45:14.about it. So here are the Championship
:45:15. > :45:15.fixtures tomorrow. Highlighted are the key ones
:45:16. > :45:18.for that final relegation place. Blackburn away at Brentford,
:45:19. > :45:32.whilst Birmingham are also Whoever goes down, we're going to
:45:33. > :45:38.lose a team with a rich football history and pedigree. European Cup
:45:39. > :45:41.winners in the past as well, and League Cup winners in the last few
:45:42. > :45:44.years, Birmingham City. You think of those big clubs and what it would
:45:45. > :45:47.mean to everyone around the club, it is incredible to think that they
:45:48. > :45:50.have got themselves in that position and every one of those clubs has had
:45:51. > :45:55.problems, the supporters have had problems with the owners and that is
:45:56. > :45:58.what it has come down to. I played against all of those teams in the
:45:59. > :46:01.Premier League and now it is strange to think that one of these teams
:46:02. > :46:08.will be playing football in the third tier. It is incredible. You
:46:09. > :46:14.have both extremes last a drummer, we have dug into the archives. This
:46:15. > :46:19.is a good one. This is you. Oh, yes. Against Spurs to keep Coventry on
:46:20. > :46:22.the last day. What was it like? We needed it, the pressure was on us,
:46:23. > :46:26.we had to win but it was not in our hands, we had to win away at Spurs
:46:27. > :46:30.and we had to hope that Wimbledon, I think it was, had to win as well.
:46:31. > :46:37.Everything worked out well but we had to do the job. Kevin, 2007 with
:46:38. > :46:41.Sheffield United. Everyone remembers the Tevez and Mascherano thing when
:46:42. > :46:44.they went to Manchester United and beat them but we had to win and any
:46:45. > :46:49.other result was a relevant, if we won the game, we stood up -- stayed
:46:50. > :46:52.up. Paul Jewell, to be fair to him, that week leading up to it was
:46:53. > :46:57.magnificent, brilliant coaching and managing. At the end of that, do you
:46:58. > :47:02.just sit in the dressing room and flop? Or do you celebrate? How does
:47:03. > :47:06.it work? You want to celebrate but you have not achieved anything Pato
:47:07. > :47:11.way you should be, staying in the league. We had a few beers but it
:47:12. > :47:15.was bittersweet because it was relief and you are physically
:47:16. > :47:21.drained, you really are. Did you cry? I didn't, no. Later, I did when
:47:22. > :47:25.I had to buy a drink. When I had to get my round in!
:47:26. > :47:27.Last season, it was Burnley who came up as Champions.
:47:28. > :47:29.They look safe after beating Crystal Palace last week.
:47:30. > :47:32.Their home record has been crucial, and so too have the magic
:47:33. > :47:57.Burnley's first away win of the season! It has been a victory that
:47:58. > :48:01.takes them within a shade of safety. How big an achievement would it be
:48:02. > :48:04.if you now get over the line and stay up this time? It would be a
:48:05. > :48:07.massive achievement. We were one of the favourites to be relegated. Not
:48:08. > :48:11.many people gave as a child and we've gone about it in a fantastic
:48:12. > :48:13.fashion, finally got the away win and a magnificent achievement. What
:48:14. > :48:19.have you done better this time around? Verse Tommy Gainey to go --
:48:20. > :48:22.good go and only missed by three points in the end. A bit of naivete,
:48:23. > :48:26.lots of players had not been in the Premier League before, me being one
:48:27. > :48:30.of them. Knowing what to expect a couple of years later, you can plan
:48:31. > :48:34.for it mentally and be better. At this level, it is fine margins. You
:48:35. > :48:39.have to make sure you come out on top of those as much as you can. We
:48:40. > :48:45.have done that better this year, those fine details. As I say, it has
:48:46. > :48:51.put us in a strong position. Good save by Tom Heaton. Are you enjoying
:48:52. > :48:55.the ride? Very much so, I think it is key, early days, it was probably
:48:56. > :48:58.a bit too intense and I've found that my best performances came when
:48:59. > :49:03.I was bit more relaxed, a smile on the face and enjoying every minute.
:49:04. > :49:07.Where else do you want to be? You started at Wrexham as a goalkeeper
:49:08. > :49:11.and midfielder. I enjoyed both when I was young, nine or ten, at the
:49:12. > :49:15.School of excellence, I ended up getting offered a trial at Man
:49:16. > :49:18.United as a goalkeeper. I probably still prefer outfield, if I'm honest
:49:19. > :49:23.but it was something that my hands were tied when you get offered a
:49:24. > :49:26.trial at Man United as a goalkeeper. I probably still prefer outfield, if
:49:27. > :49:29.I'm honest but it was something that my hands were tied when you get the
:49:30. > :49:32.contract at United, to play in goal, I decided to go for it. I don't
:49:33. > :49:34.think I was particularly good at outfield, certainly not good enough
:49:35. > :49:37.so I think I will be keeping the gloves on! The goalkeeper has made
:49:38. > :49:39.more says than Burnley's number one in the Premier League this season.
:49:40. > :49:44.-- no goalkeeper. Anything that stands out? Against Ibrahimovic at
:49:45. > :49:48.Old Trafford. What a save! Going back to Old Trafford after spending
:49:49. > :49:53.a long time there, getting our first away point there was a big deal.
:49:54. > :49:58.Peter Schmeichel sent you a little text, didn't he? How did that feel?
:49:59. > :50:03.He said something along the lines of it was one of the best saves he has
:50:04. > :50:06.seen. Incredible moment, for one of my idols and heroes growing up to
:50:07. > :50:11.say something like that was a massive moment. A lot of people
:50:12. > :50:15.talking about Michael Keane. What is his contribution like? He's been
:50:16. > :50:18.really outstanding. When he signed for the club, sat on the bench of it
:50:19. > :50:22.the first year and got some experience. Last season in the
:50:23. > :50:24.Championship, in the title winning team, he pretty much played every
:50:25. > :50:29.minute and that was big for him. This season, he has gone from
:50:30. > :50:34.strength to strength. I was there with England when he made his debut.
:50:35. > :50:37.I thought that performance, I obviously knew, working so closely
:50:38. > :50:41.with him but people saw how good a player he is and how good he is
:50:42. > :50:44.going to be. Without knowing the ins and outs, we will see how it pans
:50:45. > :50:49.out, the nature of footballers, when players do well, they get talked
:50:50. > :50:53.about by different teams, and he is no different. What is the key thing,
:50:54. > :50:58.to keep the group together and build on it? The nature of the beast is
:50:59. > :51:01.that there may be changes, you have to deal with it at the time. We have
:51:02. > :51:05.got some excellent individuals but the team is the biggest thing.
:51:06. > :51:11.His job is keeping the ball out but a goal to tell you about in the
:51:12. > :51:16.early game, Manchester City 1-0 up against Bristol pilot, David Silva
:51:17. > :51:19.with his 50th goal for City. Let's talk about Tom Heaton, though. The
:51:20. > :51:23.number one shot stopper in the Premier League this season, he's
:51:24. > :51:26.been busy but also a really good goalkeeper. Yeah, he spoke about the
:51:27. > :51:30.back four would have been good but if they have been penetrated,
:51:31. > :51:39.invariably, you will make saves, big saves as well at big times in games.
:51:40. > :51:42.Even last week, the Crystal Palace game, the first away win of the
:51:43. > :51:44.season, big saves at big times in the game. That is how they have got
:51:45. > :51:48.their results. He's made some outstanding fingertip saves but he's
:51:49. > :51:51.very brave as well. The one against Ibrahimovic, inspired or whatever,
:51:52. > :51:55.kept it out but then he will go down at the ball's feet as well so he's
:51:56. > :51:58.got a variation he can make and when you are playing as a centre-half,
:51:59. > :52:03.and you've got a brave keeper behind you, he can shout and you get out of
:52:04. > :52:06.his way. Interesting to see what happens to him and Michael Keane at
:52:07. > :52:10.Burnley as well but looking at Sean Dyche, the two seasons he's been in
:52:11. > :52:13.the Premier League with Burnley, he's done a fantastic job this time
:52:14. > :52:17.around but the margins are so fine, if you just concede a few less and
:52:18. > :52:23.score a few more, and you are going up. -- staying up. Andre Gray has
:52:24. > :52:27.scored big goals as well, even though he has not suffered a lot.
:52:28. > :52:30.The key is getting good strikers in and the key is that Sean Dyche will
:52:31. > :52:35.keep the difference really solid and quite narrow at times but it is such
:52:36. > :52:40.fine margins. Look at all the sides in those positions, mid to low
:52:41. > :52:43.table, anyone can get relegated. He manages like he played, very strong
:52:44. > :52:46.and organised, make sure the players take the instruction on the pitch.
:52:47. > :52:49.Also all but safe after a big win last week are Leicester.
:52:50. > :52:51.This week a year ago, they were celebrating the title.
:52:52. > :52:56.Quite a contrast to this season's trials and tribulations,
:52:57. > :52:59.as Kapser Schmeichel has been telling STeve Bower.
:53:00. > :53:04.Great to see you. Strangely enough, as we sit here, a year to the day
:53:05. > :53:10.since he won the Premier League title. Can you believe it is a year
:53:11. > :53:15.ago? No, I can't. It has gone so quick, so much has happened.
:53:16. > :53:18.Disappointed not to be sitting here with that feeling, you want it back.
:53:19. > :53:24.It is tough having to watch someone else do it soon. With the greatest
:53:25. > :53:29.respect, to win the league again would have been a big ask so how did
:53:30. > :53:32.you get your mind ready to go again in the Premier League? I had
:53:33. > :53:38.probably three weeks of celebrating and enjoying it and then after that,
:53:39. > :53:41.it was like, right, OK, I had a talk with my dad about what it was like
:53:42. > :53:46.and he said, you know, there will be a period of celebration and avoid
:53:47. > :53:49.where you are past the celebrating and you are starting to think about
:53:50. > :53:53.the new season and then your head just switches to the new season and
:53:54. > :53:57.it's all gone. How tough were the first few months of the season when
:53:58. > :54:04.things were not going away? I was upset and I was just not quite
:54:05. > :54:06.embarrassed but it was, you know, we were champions of England and we
:54:07. > :54:10.were not getting to the level we knew we could be because we had set
:54:11. > :54:15.the standard. It was a horrible situation. During that period, the
:54:16. > :54:18.man who takes the brunt of the criticism is the manager. How did
:54:19. > :54:22.you feel at that time, the man who had just led you to the Premier
:54:23. > :54:28.League, and he was getting all the criticism? I mean, it is always
:54:29. > :54:32.tough to see. We felt it all the way through the club. We had set the
:54:33. > :54:35.standard and we were not living up to it. The players weren't. We were
:54:36. > :54:39.not playing well and the manager takes the brunt of that. It is
:54:40. > :54:43.unfortunate because you can't get rid of a full squad of players and
:54:44. > :54:46.that is the life of a manager which is harsh sometimes. The players were
:54:47. > :54:51.accused of all kinds at the time. Was there not a feeling you needed
:54:52. > :54:55.to set the record straight? We know the truth and the club. We don't
:54:56. > :54:59.have to read the papers because you read stories sometimes during the
:55:00. > :55:04.season. You know, you thing, where has it come from? It is the complete
:55:05. > :55:09.opposite sometimes. In that difficult time, how much credit to
:55:10. > :55:12.Craig Shakespeare to suddenly go and settle the choppy Waters? Craig has
:55:13. > :55:19.been here for a long time. He knows his own ideas of what needed to be
:55:20. > :55:22.done? -- to be done. He has not changed us, it is about trying to
:55:23. > :55:26.get the spirits up and trying to get everyone firing again. We did not
:55:27. > :55:30.have the confidence to press like we have sometimes. I think it was a
:55:31. > :55:36.question for Craig to say, listen, go and do it. If we fail, we fail.
:55:37. > :55:39.But let's fail trying. If we're going to go down, we're going to go
:55:40. > :55:43.down all guns blazing. You've been here a long time and you're a big
:55:44. > :55:49.part of the dressing room. Are you where you want to be? Yeah, I mean,
:55:50. > :55:52.walking out at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals,
:55:53. > :55:56.remembering back to the days of playing in League 2 and the Scottish
:55:57. > :55:59.Premier League back then and you realise that is the pinnacle of
:56:00. > :56:05.world football. Is there a burning desire to do it again and again?
:56:06. > :56:09.More than ever. Can you do it here? Of course we can, not this season
:56:10. > :56:12.but of course we can, it is something I hoped would come earlier
:56:13. > :56:15.in my career but I think the journey I have taken has made me appreciate
:56:16. > :56:20.it so much more but it has also made me want it even more.
:56:21. > :56:23.Fighting talk! You were in Leicester for The Premier League Show this
:56:24. > :56:27.week and do you think Craig Shakespeare will be there next
:56:28. > :56:30.season? I do and I think the players want him there. I think the change
:56:31. > :56:35.from what he has done for the players, back to basics and the boys
:56:36. > :56:38.from Kasabian were on the show as well and they said they love him and
:56:39. > :56:41.they want him to stay but if the fans think like that... We have
:56:42. > :56:45.their predictions in a minute. It could be a keeper's Rowsell, when
:56:46. > :56:49.you think about those who might go, Schmeichel, Tom Heaton, pictured,
:56:50. > :56:53.David Guetta, Joe Hart, Thibaut Courtois, quite a bit of movement.
:56:54. > :57:05.Yes, and the top ones, can they get into the top four clubs? Kasper
:57:06. > :57:08.Schmeichel, what he has done, could he go to United if David de Gea was
:57:09. > :57:11.to move and you would say, yes, with his ability. It will be interesting
:57:12. > :57:12.because two of them have got to move.
:57:13. > :57:16.If you ever miss us, don't forget you can find us
:57:17. > :57:21.We leave you with the predictions of Dion's new mates, Kasabian.
:57:22. > :57:41.All-time Leicester players, Steve Walsh is definitely there. Muzzy
:57:42. > :57:45.Izzet, of course. All the first 11 last season. I could name them if
:57:46. > :57:47.you want but we might be here all day.
:57:48. > :57:51.It was only, like, really a week or so, two weeks
:57:52. > :57:53.after the celebrations of winning the league.
:57:54. > :57:55.Me and Wes Morgan had a good little dance.
:57:56. > :58:02.I tell to my players, hey, go in the stadium for the match
:58:03. > :58:08.You are the warriors, you are to do the best with them.
:58:09. > :58:12.Not a fan but I know them, it is good rock.
:58:13. > :58:15.It's hard to even know what to say about Leicester City.
:58:16. > :58:20.We've won the league and then fought relegation and then got
:58:21. > :58:22.to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
:58:23. > :58:39.Arsenal are in a right state at the minute, pure panic.
:58:40. > :58:41.Man United will go there and win, I know they will.
:58:42. > :58:48.Leicester City will beat Watford 3-0.
:58:49. > :59:00.We'll go Leicester City two, Watford one.
:59:01. > :59:04.Explorer Alice Morrison is taking an epic 2,000-mile trek
:59:05. > :59:08.across the Sahara, over the Atlas Mountains...
