:00:13. > :00:25.Oh, it's absolutely brilliant. It gets better and better. It comes to
:00:26. > :00:39.Cristiano Ronaldo! History boys indeed. They have won the cup, they
:00:40. > :00:45.have won the cup. He has done it! He has done it!
:00:46. > :00:48.It is Emirates FA Cup quarterfinal we can. We also have big games in
:00:49. > :00:54.the Premier League and all of this on the way for you.
:00:55. > :00:59.Going back to the Bridge. Jose Mourinho sits down with Gary.
:01:00. > :01:06.I am not looking for regular -- for revenge, anything wrong or bad. If
:01:07. > :01:17.it is different it is different in a positive way. City speaks to Sane on
:01:18. > :01:22.his sporting family. We are at home with Danny and Nicky Cowley. You
:01:23. > :01:30.haven't changed your hairstyle at all! Garth crooks has been chipping
:01:31. > :01:35.away at Tottenham's rock. And we have the font of all knowledge and
:01:36. > :01:40.the world is a pro test. He is an inspiration, you have to get behind
:01:41. > :01:48.him and work for him because he decides the game. In the studio, the
:01:49. > :01:52.monkey and the organ grinder, you decide who is who. Mark Lawrenson
:01:53. > :01:57.and Matt Upton. Eight teams remaining in the FA Cup, this is how
:01:58. > :02:00.the weekend pans out. Team news on the way for Middlesbrough against
:02:01. > :02:14.Manchester City. Lincoln are of course the first
:02:15. > :02:18.non-league team in a century to make the last eight, they have been led
:02:19. > :02:25.there by Danny and Nicky Cowley, who were at PE teachers less than a year
:02:26. > :02:38.ago. Back across goal! It is in! Lincoln
:02:39. > :02:55.have made history! Lincoln City are in the last eight of the FA Cup!
:02:56. > :03:02.Hello, how are you? Nice to see you. Hello, family. This is everybody. My
:03:03. > :03:11.dad Steve, my mum Jill. This is my wife Kate. This is Nikki's wife
:03:12. > :03:17.Lauren. What a family portrait. This is Bella, my eldest daughter.
:03:18. > :03:31.Nikki's eldest. And this is Betsy and George. -- Nicky's eldest. That
:03:32. > :03:40.was last year! You haven't changed your hairstyle in the last few
:03:41. > :03:48.decades. Would you like a cup of tea? Yes please, mate.
:03:49. > :03:53.Can you put into words the us what it has been like to be you for the
:03:54. > :03:58.last two months. It has been a whirlwind. I don't think either of
:03:59. > :04:04.us expected it to have gone like this. You have those experiences of
:04:05. > :04:08.going to Burnley, Premier League club, and getting a window, that was
:04:09. > :04:16.a fantastic feeling. You definitely want more. It was not until I woke
:04:17. > :04:21.up this morning, I was so focused on Braintree and I woke up thinking,
:04:22. > :04:28.Arsenal! Are there things you have been able to take out of teaching to
:04:29. > :04:32.take to your squad of footballers? Definitely it benefits us, having
:04:33. > :04:38.been PE teachers, because it gives you such a great opportunity to
:04:39. > :04:43.learn a skill set. Also managing front characters and personalities.
:04:44. > :04:49.We had a great time. It was really important for us because we had two
:04:50. > :04:53.jobs. We were always really respectful of both jobs and tried
:04:54. > :04:59.not to let one affect the other. We got back after one game at 6am and
:05:00. > :05:05.then straight to school for half past six. You have to put the defeat
:05:06. > :05:10.behind you and turn on the positive mode. That is the great thing about
:05:11. > :05:13.being at school, at 7:45am you have a group of kids who were
:05:14. > :05:20.enthusiastic about sport and they would give you energy. The me,
:05:21. > :05:23.definitely, our teaching background has played a huge part in what we
:05:24. > :05:37.have done in football Manici. -- for me. -- football management. For me
:05:38. > :05:44.it is hard work day in and day out, focus and determination, a team with
:05:45. > :05:52.real focus and the same kind of priorities. If you have enough
:05:53. > :05:58.winners then you find a way. Our -- word I like to use is great about
:05:59. > :06:03.the players. You are always trying to find a way to overcome
:06:04. > :06:09.challenges. You described beating Ipswich as climbing a mountain, then
:06:10. > :06:21.going to the moon, then Jupiter. What would beating Arsenal, who are
:06:22. > :06:30.88 places higher than you, be? My knowledge of the solar system isn't
:06:31. > :06:39.good enough! It is probably a one in a thousand chance. I think it is
:06:40. > :06:47.more than one in a thousand. You said one and a hundred against
:06:48. > :06:50.Burnley. One in 500. I think the us the success will be if we can give
:06:51. > :06:56.the best version of ourselves in front of 60,000 people in the
:06:57. > :07:00.quarterfinals of the FA Cup under the intense scrutiny of playing
:07:01. > :07:04.against world-class players. If we can play at our very best on
:07:05. > :07:10.Saturday, regardless of the result, we will berate me proud of
:07:11. > :07:14.ourselves. Let's say a big club comes in off the back of this and
:07:15. > :07:19.says, we love you, we are going to give you loads of money, you can run
:07:20. > :07:26.our team however you want but you have to use our backroom staff and
:07:27. > :07:34.not bring your brother? If we split ourselves we won't be half as good,
:07:35. > :07:38.so no. The strength is in our unity. A lovely relationship and it is a
:07:39. > :07:42.truly remarkable story and the brother element adds to that. Can
:07:43. > :07:48.you see a way past Arsenal? They said it was 500 to one or thousand
:07:49. > :07:54.one but do you give them any chance? You have to give them some chance
:07:55. > :07:57.but when you listen to the characteristics they look for in the
:07:58. > :08:02.players it is probably something Arsenal are searching for at the
:08:03. > :08:05.moment. Given that and the grit he talks about, it will be interesting
:08:06. > :08:12.to see how that plays out at the Reds with the way Arsenal play. I am
:08:13. > :08:22.going to ask you now. -- at the Emirates. Were they taken as a pair?
:08:23. > :08:28.Yes. Do they ever fall out, does the assistant ever said to the manager,
:08:29. > :08:31.no chance? They said they are robust in their discussions before games.
:08:32. > :08:35.Danny, the ultimate decision comes down to him, but they work really
:08:36. > :08:40.well as a partnership. The players appreciate that. With those
:08:41. > :08:45.relationships, if you are the assistant manager, sometimes you
:08:46. > :08:50.have to say no, or at least make the manager think, is he doing the right
:08:51. > :08:54.thing? They can be really honest with each other, which probably is
:08:55. > :08:58.an advantage. You can say pretty much whatever you want because it is
:08:59. > :09:03.your brother and you have probably had disagreements in the past. You
:09:04. > :09:07.speak to the players, their level of preparation that every game. They
:09:08. > :09:12.are top of the National League. That will come from the PE side. You have
:09:13. > :09:17.to be organised as a teacher, so that would stem from that. Everybody
:09:18. > :09:21.talks about the Burnley game but they played decent football against
:09:22. > :09:26.Brighton and in the rest of the competition. The communication
:09:27. > :09:30.skills they would've picked up from being teachers as well would help
:09:31. > :09:35.massively in a dressing room when you are trying to describe to the
:09:36. > :09:38.players what you want. I heard them on the radio, they have read Clive
:09:39. > :09:43.Woodward's book from cover to cover, he thought they were stalking him
:09:44. > :09:48.because they knew every detail. It was fascinating. But you just know
:09:49. > :09:54.they are right because I think they go back to the league and it is dog
:09:55. > :09:57.eat dog, that league, and the results are still very good, so you
:09:58. > :10:02.know you have a good bunch of players. They are taking on an
:10:03. > :10:07.Arsenal side who have had a pretty dreadful week, dumped out of the
:10:08. > :10:12.Premier League by Bayern Munich. Let's see what Arsene Wenger had a
:10:13. > :10:18.say in the build-up? I have worked very hard for 20 years to make the
:10:19. > :10:27.fans happy and I understand they are not and I don't want to judge that,
:10:28. > :10:31.I am not capable to, I live in my daily work with my complete
:10:32. > :10:35.commitment after that. I said many times, you have to accept different
:10:36. > :10:41.opinions. Some of the questions he has been asked recently have been a
:10:42. > :10:45.bit unfair, but you played under him, have you noticed that changed
:10:46. > :10:51.in his body language, his attitude? Is he feeling the pressure? I am
:10:52. > :10:56.sure he is, he always will have felt the pressure in that role. When you
:10:57. > :11:01.talk about, have I seen the change, that is maybe one of the issues,
:11:02. > :11:05.then maybe hasn't been enough change, that is a squad that might
:11:06. > :11:10.need some change to drag the best out of it. I think it has come to a
:11:11. > :11:14.natural conclusion. I feel really sorry for him because I don't want
:11:15. > :11:18.him to lose his legacy. I would love him to win the FA Cup may be this
:11:19. > :11:26.year, obviously they have to get past Lincoln, but if you think in
:11:27. > :11:29.15, 20 years, what he has done in the Premier League has been nothing
:11:30. > :11:33.short of sensational. It is almost like you need are best made to say,
:11:34. > :11:38.you know what, it probably could be a time to go now. It was
:11:39. > :11:43.revolutionary, what he brought 20 years ago, and I was lucky enough to
:11:44. > :11:48.experience that as a young player. It was totally new age. If you look
:11:49. > :11:53.at the moment, the Lincoln manager, what he is looking for, grit and
:11:54. > :11:59.determination, a key element of a winning team, I don't see Arsenal
:12:00. > :12:09.possessing that. He got key and to pass to his own team-mate, that is
:12:10. > :12:13.how good he is. -- Martin Keown. He is listening outside the studio, so
:12:14. > :12:19.if you hear a big noise later you know what has happened.
:12:20. > :12:24.Manchester City were denied the chance to go second by Stoke. They
:12:25. > :12:30.mustered only one shot on target all night. David Silva shot wide after a
:12:31. > :12:38.1-2 with Fernandinho and in injury time Nacho had the best opportunity,
:12:39. > :12:43.another substitute failing to find the target. You saw how close that
:12:44. > :12:48.was from this angle. Leroy Sane joined the ?37 million in the summer
:12:49. > :12:56.and he has been talking to Ivan Gaskell.
:12:57. > :13:02.He, Leroy, your mamma is calling you, man.
:13:03. > :13:16.Your mother was a rythmic gymnastics in did you ever fancied gymnastics?
:13:17. > :13:23.Your father played football first Senate guile, does he think he was
:13:24. > :13:41.better than you. -- for Senegal. How is life right now for you in
:13:42. > :13:53.England and Manchester? It is quite good, I am really settled in and in
:13:54. > :13:55.Manchester I like the city. Since arriving, how have you found working
:13:56. > :14:25.with Pep Guardiola? Players like Yaya Toure, great
:14:26. > :14:29.inspirational players, great experience, who I think you call
:14:30. > :14:50.uncle Yahya are, is that correct? -- uncle Yaya. Stirling tries to tip
:14:51. > :14:55.away his -- tiptoe his way through and Leroy Sane is there. You want to
:14:56. > :14:57.win trophies and you have a chance in the FA Cup, it has been a good
:14:58. > :15:30.condition for you so far. France last week, German this week,
:15:31. > :15:33.will Sane actually start for Man City in their FA Cup quarterfinal at
:15:34. > :15:40.Middlesbrough in the early kick-off. Four changes for Middlesbrough, Brad
:15:41. > :15:45.Guzan in goal, Bernardo, Antonio, Barragan and Christian Stuani
:15:46. > :15:50.commend. City make five changes. Bravo in goal, strong side, David
:15:51. > :15:54.Silva, Raheem Sterling, John Stones and Pablo Zabaleta all come back
:15:55. > :16:01.into the starting XI. You can listen to that one on 5 Live and highlights
:16:02. > :16:04.of that later. I wanted to ask you about Sane, have impressed have you
:16:05. > :16:08.been with him, particularly in recent weeks? That's the good, the
:16:09. > :16:12.recent weeks, the first dozen games he struggled a little bit as you go
:16:13. > :16:14.to a different country, different language, all those things,
:16:15. > :16:20.different team-mates, a different way of playing. He's got all the raw
:16:21. > :16:34.materials. He looks like he's going to be a real player. ? Uncle Yaya on
:16:35. > :16:40.the way as well. With Pep Guardiola and the players he's coached. He's
:16:41. > :16:45.21. Even though the price tag is big he wants to develop. He's always got
:16:46. > :16:50.to play with the ball and Guardiola is there, so for an attacking player
:16:51. > :16:54.it's utopia. From Middlesbrough perspective, in the quarterfinals on
:16:55. > :16:58.the cup, Jimmy to this division and a Premier League to stay in the
:16:59. > :17:01.division and we often talk about their lack of goals. Would both of
:17:02. > :17:06.you want to see Karanka given the full season to see if you can stay
:17:07. > :17:11.there because he's another manager under pressure. I consider point
:17:12. > :17:15.ingest gestating him. What's really cool them down is what they did in
:17:16. > :17:18.January in terms of the transfer window, De Laet two proven
:17:19. > :17:22.goal-scorers go and you might say that Jordan Rhodes and David Nugent
:17:23. > :17:26.and not prolific in the Premier League but Rudy Gestede is not a
:17:27. > :17:30.goal-scorer, similar to Negredo but without the goals and Patrick
:17:31. > :17:36.Bamford who has struggled a bit. A reminder that all the quarterfinals
:17:37. > :17:40.are decided on the day, no replays, extra time and penalties and if you
:17:41. > :17:42.get to extra time you can bring on an extra substitute, so changes that
:17:43. > :18:07.people have been waiting for quite some time.
:18:08. > :18:12.On Monday night, Jose Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge as his
:18:13. > :18:17.Manchester United side play Chelsea for a place in the last four on the
:18:18. > :18:20.cup, it's live on BBC. Just tell you that for the eighth time today for
:18:21. > :18:21.the Gary Lineker has been to see United's manager nine months into
:18:22. > :18:31.his Old Trafford rain. The confirmation finally here, Jose
:18:32. > :18:35.Mourinho is the new manager at Manchester United. The job is to put
:18:36. > :18:38.the club back at the top of British and European football. They caught a
:18:39. > :18:42.special one so let's hope he can produce the goods. Nobody is bigger
:18:43. > :18:46.than legitimate and fans don't like to be told that their expectations
:18:47. > :18:52.are too high. How are you enjoying life at Manchester United? I work a
:18:53. > :18:57.lot but that's what I like. I love the club, I feel that I'm here for
:18:58. > :19:01.much more time because the connection is so good with everyone
:19:02. > :19:08.will stop what's the hard part about what might I think the hard is the
:19:09. > :19:12.expectation, which the club is guilty of it and because of the club
:19:13. > :19:21.history. I'm also a little bit guilty of it because I'm used to win
:19:22. > :19:28.trophies in every club. The relation between our true potential and the
:19:29. > :19:34.expectations we create, there is a gap and that gap is the most
:19:35. > :19:39.difficult thing. Pogba looks for the opening. Ibrahimovic drifting behind
:19:40. > :19:40.Gordon Greer. Ibrahimovic! Manchester United through into the
:19:41. > :19:46.last eight of the FA Are you satisfied generally with the
:19:47. > :19:51.progress you're making at Manchester United, you've already won a trophy?
:19:52. > :19:54.We're happy with the trophy, a trophy is always important and the
:19:55. > :19:58.reality is that many other teams in England are going to finish the
:19:59. > :20:04.season without a trophy and we have one and a half. The cup and the
:20:05. > :20:11.Community Shield. So that's good. But I would lie if I say that it's
:20:12. > :20:16.enough for us. We are in the quarterfinals of the cup but we have
:20:17. > :20:21.to fight for everything, so I don't think the League Cup is enough for
:20:22. > :20:25.us to say, and of February, the season is over. It's not over. The
:20:26. > :20:29.Chelsea game coming up, it has to have a special significance for you,
:20:30. > :20:34.you'd been there twice. Especially after what happened last season
:20:35. > :20:38.where you think... No, probably in the opposite way of what people
:20:39. > :20:43.think. I'm not looking for revenge, I'm not looking for anything wrong
:20:44. > :20:50.or bad. If you say something special, maybe special, one thing is
:20:51. > :20:56.to have Gary stake in the tunnel before and after the match, a super
:20:57. > :21:02.friend and another thing is to go to Spurs, I don't even know the name of
:21:03. > :21:06.the gentleman that's in the tunnel. If it's different, it's different in
:21:07. > :21:09.a positive way, not different in a negative way. Are you surprised how
:21:10. > :21:15.well Chelsea have done this season? No, I'm not surprised. I'm surprised
:21:16. > :21:22.with the way they play, I'm surprised because I thought there
:21:23. > :21:29.were demanding is of a different kind of football because I think
:21:30. > :21:34.Chelsea is phenomenal but Chelsea is an amazing defensive team. You think
:21:35. > :21:39.they're quite a negative side. I think they're very good defensively.
:21:40. > :21:43.I think they have fantastic players to be a counterattacking team and to
:21:44. > :21:47.kill opponents with three or four players. Do you feel slightly let
:21:48. > :21:55.down by the Chelsea players last season? No, I think we were all
:21:56. > :21:58.guilty of our phenomenal season with the Premier League and the League
:21:59. > :22:04.Cup and we were all guilty of our second season. You think you'll be
:22:05. > :22:08.here longer than three years? Do you think this will be the Copa you
:22:09. > :22:13.spend the most time? I like to. I said the same and I came back to
:22:14. > :22:18.Chelsea and when you are at Chelsea, I wanted different things from my
:22:19. > :22:23.life, when I was in Italy, because Real Madrid knocked on my door three
:22:24. > :22:27.times, I always told them that the Spanish league would be a motivation
:22:28. > :22:32.and when I come back to Chelsea I thought I was going to stay until
:22:33. > :22:37.they want. I gave my word, I said the same in relation to Manchester
:22:38. > :22:42.United with the plus that I'm really happy and I really enjoy working
:22:43. > :22:48.here, so I give my word that I want to stay here until the owners of the
:22:49. > :22:53.board want me. Plenty more of that interview for you on the Premier
:22:54. > :22:58.League show. It's also got a very interesting interview with Joe Hart
:22:59. > :23:03.on there. Some go news from the elegant, Man City a call-up, scoring
:23:04. > :23:07.in the third minute. David Silva put through by Raheem Sterling. City
:23:08. > :23:11.doing well against Middlesbrough already. Let's talk about Monday
:23:12. > :23:17.night's game. Earlier in the season it was the 4-0, Chelsea four shots
:23:18. > :23:24.on target. How do you think it on Monday night? I think Manchester
:23:25. > :23:29.United will park the bus a little bit which is his original saying
:23:30. > :23:34.when teams went to Stamford Bridge. Just saying to Matt, there's not
:23:35. > :23:39.Ibrahimovic, so who do you play? Do you play Rashford through the
:23:40. > :23:43.middle? There are very few options. For such a club whose bench was as
:23:44. > :23:50.good as any other team in the league, that's one area where they
:23:51. > :23:55.are still extremely short. I think you'll look to go and make a win for
:23:56. > :23:58.want of a better description. Without Ibrahimovic, you talk about
:23:59. > :24:02.the options, in terms of the competitions they are playing in
:24:03. > :24:05.this season, they'd love to be Chelsea, but from a Europa League
:24:06. > :24:08.perspective, that gets you into the Champions League, do you think that
:24:09. > :24:11.is the priority for them this season? Looking at the game on
:24:12. > :24:17.Thursday and how they approached it, I would say that Jose Mourinho sees
:24:18. > :24:20.that is a really good route into the Champions League and you have to
:24:21. > :24:24.agree, if you look at the teams left in the Europa League, a couple of
:24:25. > :24:29.good threats, Roma are playing well and some other teams, but it's over
:24:30. > :24:32.two legs and it gives you the kind of comfort that if you have one bad
:24:33. > :24:37.game you've got another game to make it up. For Man United it's a really
:24:38. > :24:43.realistic route to the Champions League. And they've always got the
:24:44. > :24:48.hit of finishing in the top four as well. They're in a fantastic
:24:49. > :24:51.position. Double bubble. On the Ibrahimovic side, you saw this week
:24:52. > :24:57.that LA Galaxy saying they're trying to make him the highest-paid player
:24:58. > :25:05.in MLS history. He doesn't need any more money. Let's talk about the
:25:06. > :25:08.team their thing on Monday because Chelsea go into the FA Cup with a
:25:09. > :25:11.ten point lead at the top of the Premier League thanks to Monday
:25:12. > :25:17.night's win at West Ham. The noise is good inside the London
:25:18. > :25:23.Stadium for this London derby. Hazard to Pedro. Hazzard round the
:25:24. > :25:33.keeper and he scores. Chelsea lead one now. Lashes at wide and high.
:25:34. > :25:38.The corner and need into the net by Costa. 2-0 to Chelsea. Alonso on the
:25:39. > :25:44.left-hand side are pushing the penalty area. Brilliantly got past.
:25:45. > :25:48.Chips it goalwards but just wide of the post. Eden Hazard looking for
:25:49. > :25:55.options, puts his foot on the ball. Flex it to Costa, shoots, what a
:25:56. > :26:02.save. Chelsea lose possession, Fabregas caught out. Played square,
:26:03. > :26:03.chance for Lanzini! He's buried it, West Ham have scored in added time
:26:04. > :26:13.at the end of the game. Chelsea have that ten point lead in
:26:14. > :26:18.the Premier League, do you expect them to put their strongest side
:26:19. > :26:22.against Manchester United because in the FA Cup been playing almost an
:26:23. > :26:26.entirely different back four with a different goalkeeper. He's been
:26:27. > :26:32.changing the team for the cup but you're now getting into that area
:26:33. > :26:35.with the size of the tie against Manchester United where he may well
:26:36. > :26:40.just that and do what he's done in the Premier League which is part of
:26:41. > :26:44.their success. This is the team that played Wolves. Why wouldn't you want
:26:45. > :26:53.to win the double? Not many teams have done it. And in his first year
:26:54. > :26:56.you return the double. We saw Mourinho, couldn't resist having a
:26:57. > :27:00.subtle dig at Chelsea's style and the fact he surprised they've been
:27:01. > :27:03.so defence of this season. They've been defensive but also been
:27:04. > :27:08.brilliant. The Lowe absolutely. They've gone from defence to attack
:27:09. > :27:18.brilliantly which I think is every manager's dream. To defend well and
:27:19. > :27:22.then going to attack. Some of the touch is beautifully. How well has
:27:23. > :27:28.peddled on? With the system they play quite narrow, Eden Hazard and
:27:29. > :27:34.Pedro and they understand the role with the two wingbacks going behind
:27:35. > :27:38.them. What a player Kante is. On the league goal bowl. Is there a better
:27:39. > :27:42.player in the Premier League pound for pound? I don't think there's a
:27:43. > :27:45.more valuable player, we can talk about talent and skills but in terms
:27:46. > :27:51.of winning a football match, he's the one. He can play and the team
:27:52. > :27:56.every week. Might win the title back to back. Monday night's game, live
:27:57. > :28:04.on the BBC. We have all this to come for you on today's show. Jose Fonte
:28:05. > :28:10.explains his move to West Ham. Toby Alderweireld is eyeing silverware at
:28:11. > :28:18.Spurs. And Neil Harris on Millwall's chances of an upset at White Hart
:28:19. > :28:20.Lane. I'm going to go on a bit of a wonderful fleet U2 will join me at
:28:21. > :28:24.the touch screen in a few moments because we talked a lot about the FA
:28:25. > :28:28.Cup quarterfinal, there are also four games in the Premier League
:28:29. > :28:31.this weekend. We're going to focus on Hull City against Swansea for you
:28:32. > :28:35.because if you look at the table at the moment and the recent form from
:28:36. > :28:38.these two, we've talked a lot in recent weeks about how impressive
:28:39. > :28:43.Swansea have been and the recent form really does demonstrate that to
:28:44. > :28:47.you. Four wins out of six games for Swansea and Hull City had the good
:28:48. > :28:50.start on the Marco Silva but just five points from their last six
:28:51. > :28:55.matches in contrast to 12 from Swansea. Let's catch up with Steve
:28:56. > :29:00.Harper, former Newcastle and Hull City keeper. Thanks very much for
:29:01. > :29:04.joining us on Football Focus, this really is a massive game for Marco
:29:05. > :29:07.Silva and Hull City because they have to start picking up points to
:29:08. > :29:11.drag teams like Swansea back into trouble, haven't they? Very much so,
:29:12. > :29:15.that the gap appearing, just a matter of time before Big Sam.
:29:16. > :29:20.Crystal Palace firing and turned around and as you mention, he had
:29:21. > :29:24.the initial bounce but one win in six against an inform Swansea side,
:29:25. > :29:27.tough test. Do you think, you mention the bounce, has that worn
:29:28. > :29:32.off a little bit, players getting used to what he's doing and what
:29:33. > :29:35.does he need to find no? Goals. I was here a few weeks ago for the
:29:36. > :29:40.Burnley game and just lacking that cutting edge, the loss of Mbokani
:29:41. > :29:45.will hinder them but I think they need to find more of an attacking
:29:46. > :29:49.threat to win. The game today, they can kick on and stay up because they
:29:50. > :29:52.got a decent run of fixtures, Hull, a lot of teams in and around them
:29:53. > :29:57.but they need to get started sooner rather than later. You were involved
:29:58. > :29:59.in the relegation battle a few seasons ago and speaking to Michael
:30:00. > :30:03.Dawson in recent weeks, talked about the fact they have that experience
:30:04. > :30:04.and it might not fear the drop or the fight for the drop some other
:30:05. > :30:14.sides might, could it be a factor? They certainly have experience,
:30:15. > :30:18.going down, bouncing back up, Davis coming back gives them more
:30:19. > :30:22.experience. It is crunch games at the end of the season, Sunderland
:30:23. > :30:30.have a lot of experience there, so a lot hinges on today's result. Enjoy
:30:31. > :30:36.today's game. We are going to have more of a look at Swansea. They have
:30:37. > :30:41.been brilliant in recent weeks under Dick Clement and even played well in
:30:42. > :30:48.the two games they lost. If we look through some statistics, one guy who
:30:49. > :30:51.has come to for -- to the fore, Fernando Llorente, 11 goals this
:30:52. > :31:01.season, just when his manager needed it. The irony is, when was he when
:31:02. > :31:07.Bob Radley was there? You coach and train every day and you have
:31:08. > :31:14.somebody like him, did he even appear? Minimal appearances. Clement
:31:15. > :31:20.has gone in and looked at him and said, oh my goodness, I have a
:31:21. > :31:26.centre forward who scores. It does maybe tell us about the style, eight
:31:27. > :31:35.appearances Clement, four goals -- five goals, four headed. What do you
:31:36. > :31:43.like so much about the game against Liverpool? It is a bit of an
:31:44. > :31:49.old-fashioned striker's play. He likes to work around the back post,
:31:50. > :31:53.he comes from the deep angle into the box, which as a centre-back, if
:31:54. > :31:58.you think about how to stop people, you need to adjust your position
:31:59. > :32:04.because you need to get out and get in touch with him. When he gets two
:32:05. > :32:08.or three strides on you, he is gone, because he has a really aggressive
:32:09. > :32:14.leap. You have to physically put him off heading the ball. The cross was
:32:15. > :32:18.fantastic as well, that makes all of the difference. Remember the goal he
:32:19. > :32:23.scored last week, the cross from the right was the Cross of the season.
:32:24. > :32:27.This is the second goal from last week, the winner against Burnley.
:32:28. > :32:35.The ball in is perfect, great header. The only way you can stop
:32:36. > :32:38.this is by making contact with him. He has to three strides on you and
:32:39. > :32:42.at that point you are dead in the water. You have to get physically up
:32:43. > :32:48.against him but you put him off from heading it. The cardinal sin is that
:32:49. > :32:54.he has no idea where the player is at any stage, he is watching the
:32:55. > :32:58.ball. You have to be in position. You have to be where you can see
:32:59. > :33:05.him, even a glance. If you don't look at him, there are no eyes in
:33:06. > :33:10.the back of the head. He just has to get contact and not let him get a
:33:11. > :33:15.clean header, he is the only man in the box. Is that because of the
:33:16. > :33:25.quality of the ball in? He is one against five. It is a lovely header
:33:26. > :33:28.as well. He really can head the ball and he attacks it aggressively so
:33:29. > :33:33.you have to stop him heading the ball. He was particularly impressive
:33:34. > :33:37.for Swansea in recent weeks and it has been an impressive year the Jose
:33:38. > :33:40.Fonte one he won the Euros with Portugal in the summer and after
:33:41. > :33:50.spending seven years at Southampton he joined West Ham in January, a
:33:51. > :33:57.fairly acrimonious transfer. Football Focus, Jose Fonte
:33:58. > :34:02.interview, shoot. We were so successful, we achieved
:34:03. > :34:08.many things. I will always have time for Southampton. I was trying to do
:34:09. > :34:17.the best and get the best for me and for my family. Every football Player
:34:18. > :34:20.does that so that doesn't necessarily mean that you are
:34:21. > :34:27.handing in a transfer request, I didn't. Life doesn't stop, you move
:34:28. > :34:31.on. It was one of the clubs that I was almost 100% sure I wanted to
:34:32. > :34:37.move here. When I was given permission to speak with the
:34:38. > :34:42.manager, he was very honest, direct, he is a football person himself, he
:34:43. > :34:45.played as a centre-back. Does it help when you have a manager, a
:34:46. > :34:50.coach that has had experience playing in the position that you do?
:34:51. > :34:59.Massively. I have been like that in my last few years I have had
:35:00. > :35:04.Pochettino, I had the opportunity to learn from the best. When they speak
:35:05. > :35:11.they know what they talking about. Can you get better being here? 100%.
:35:12. > :35:15.I am out of my comfort zone, it is never easy coming to a different
:35:16. > :35:19.club but I am looking forward to it and I am working hard to achieve
:35:20. > :35:25.success and help the manager and the team win something. This has been
:35:26. > :35:30.the best moment of your career so far surely? The last three seasons
:35:31. > :35:35.have been fantastic, when I accomplished the Euros for example.
:35:36. > :35:41.I don't want to stop here, there is a lot more to be achieved and to
:35:42. > :35:44.win, so when you have a taste of it you want to get it again. Anything
:35:45. > :35:49.can happen, or who would have thought when you were in League 1
:35:50. > :35:53.that you would win a major tournament with Portugal? I always
:35:54. > :35:58.believed I could get there but it took a long time. The manager of the
:35:59. > :36:04.national team actually released me twice when I was young. When he took
:36:05. > :36:08.charge I said to myself, there you go. He gave me the opportunity to
:36:09. > :36:14.achieve something that will be in history. At what point in France
:36:15. > :36:20.last year did you think, we can go on and do this? When we beat
:36:21. > :36:28.Croatia. And Wales? Listen, credit to Wales, what an achievement to get
:36:29. > :36:31.to the semifinals and what team they had put when you have a team with
:36:32. > :36:38.the best in the world, Renaldo, he pops up with the goals. You were 13
:36:39. > :36:41.when you first met him? In the same club, he was one year younger than
:36:42. > :36:51.me, I saw him play in the youth team. I am proud of being the same
:36:52. > :36:54.team with him, to be friends with him, to know him, because he is an
:36:55. > :37:01.inspiration, what he has done to get here, you have to get behind him and
:37:02. > :37:07.work for him because he desired is -- decides the games, so we carry
:37:08. > :37:15.the piano for him. Does he lose it? He doesn't like to lose, he gets
:37:16. > :37:20.upset in training. He is a workaholic, all of his success is
:37:21. > :37:23.because he worked hard for it. What can you achieve? Anything is
:37:24. > :37:29.possible. You saw what happened last year. If Rob -- if everybody works
:37:30. > :37:32.hard and pulls in the same direction, everybody believes, I see
:37:33. > :37:42.a lot of quality in the dressing room, great manager, it is up to us
:37:43. > :37:51.to get on the boat and party. He loves an analogy. Get in the boat
:37:52. > :37:54.and paddle. He is 33, he spent seven years in
:37:55. > :37:59.Southampton, didn't play in the Premier League until he was 28, so
:38:00. > :38:03.take away the loyalty site, as we often do in football these days, he
:38:04. > :38:07.hadn't had the big move to take him through to the end of his career.
:38:08. > :38:11.When you start to get towards the end of your career you look at
:38:12. > :38:15.different priorities that suit your personal life and maybe that has
:38:16. > :38:19.been a factor for him in the move. He has a really interesting journey
:38:20. > :38:25.through with Southampton, all the way from League 1 to being a
:38:26. > :38:34.European Cup finalist, a great achievement. He had the right for
:38:35. > :38:37.the move. Good signing. Definitely, a Sainsbury personable, I like the
:38:38. > :38:46.stuff about, Renaldo is in the team, do anything you like them. -- he
:38:47. > :38:50.seems personable. When is the point where you think, this guy is in our
:38:51. > :38:57.site, he is that good that we have to do all we can to build a platform
:38:58. > :39:06.for him. We had it at Liverpool with Bagley, he couldn't edit, but you
:39:07. > :39:12.would do anything for him because he was a genius. -- with Kenny
:39:13. > :39:16.Dalglish. You play with great players, I have been at a club with
:39:17. > :39:21.Denis curbed -- Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, but the great players
:39:22. > :39:26.put their shift in, and he mentioned how relentlessly Renaldo works. I
:39:27. > :39:34.can't believe you haven't mentioned Martin Keown. That flew under the
:39:35. > :39:38.radar. John Watson will be conducting things the Match of the
:39:39. > :39:41.Day today at West Ham as they take on Bournemouth. We have to talk to
:39:42. > :39:47.you about Tyrone Mings, great to see you on the programme. Bournemouth
:39:48. > :39:55.feel hard done by and Tyrone Mings does, are they right? If I was being
:39:56. > :40:03.flippant I would say I am not going to Ming is my word. Bournemouth are
:40:04. > :40:07.very unhappy, there are two reasons, the FA charge against Tyrone Mings
:40:08. > :40:10.didn't mention the word in ten. Tyrone Mings on his website
:40:11. > :40:14.yesterday and the club and fans still insist that he didn't mean to
:40:15. > :40:21.stamp on the side of the head of Ibrahimovic. What annoys them is
:40:22. > :40:26.that Tyrone Mings has a five match ban with no intent mentioned and
:40:27. > :40:30.Ibrahimovic has got away with if that is the right expression three
:40:31. > :40:34.match ban which he didn't contest. That is the main complaint here at
:40:35. > :40:39.Bournemouth. Another side that won two people have overlooked who don't
:40:40. > :40:41.know the club well, earlier this season and Nathan Ake was playing
:40:42. > :40:47.really well in the Bournemouth defence alongside Steve Cook,
:40:48. > :40:50.Chelsea recalled them from his loan, not that he had played for them,
:40:51. > :40:54.consequently the loss of Tyrone Mings has given them a real problem
:40:55. > :40:57.in central defence and they have wrapped Simon Francis up in cotton
:40:58. > :41:02.wool this week in the hope he might come back after injury. I wanted to
:41:03. > :41:05.talk to you about the defence, because Bournemouth haven't had a
:41:06. > :41:09.win this year but they must have taken some positives this week from
:41:10. > :41:15.the second-half defensive display and Manchester United. I think they
:41:16. > :41:20.did and I asked Eddie Howe yesterday whether he still insists on playing
:41:21. > :41:24.the way they have always played, on the front foot, or whether he will
:41:25. > :41:28.have to remove a bit of full air from the team and offend a bit more
:41:29. > :41:34.as they slipped into the bottom half of the table. -- a bit of flair. He
:41:35. > :41:37.said they want change but Bournemouth are learning as they go
:41:38. > :41:42.along and some of those things were shown at Manchester United. You
:41:43. > :41:49.can't survive in the Premier League if you do what Bournemouth have
:41:50. > :41:56.done, concede 36 goals in 15 games. Ask your pundits, you can't lose two
:41:57. > :42:00.goals a game and stay out of relegation fight. That their problem
:42:01. > :42:04.is and just quickly, as we heard from Jose Fonte a word about West
:42:05. > :42:09.Ham who play here today, their captain Mark Noble is playing his
:42:10. > :42:14.398 match for the club but earlier this week was being criticised by
:42:15. > :42:21.supporters on social media. What price loyalty? On that very Noble
:42:22. > :42:28.standpoint I will hand back to you. Just like Shakespeare! Your take on
:42:29. > :42:31.the Tyrone Mings side of things, to reiterate the Bournemouth statement,
:42:32. > :42:36.we find it extraordinary that the charges could be described as proven
:42:37. > :42:41.when there was no effort to prove it was intentional, but he gets a
:42:42. > :42:47.five-game ban. I think Motty has it entirely right and only Tyrone Mings
:42:48. > :42:51.knows whether he meant to stand on the head of Abramovich. If you went
:42:52. > :42:58.to a court of law, it has to be unproven. -- Ibrahimovic. It is
:42:59. > :43:04.based on what they think has happened as opposed to the fact. You
:43:05. > :43:09.can't really determine the facts because you can only go with what
:43:10. > :43:15.Tyrone Mings says. He says it was in intentional -- unintentional, so how
:43:16. > :43:19.can you hand out an extended ban compared to the three games for
:43:20. > :43:24.Ibrahimovic. I think it is three age to be honest. Tomorrow Burnley will
:43:25. > :43:31.aim for a first away win of the season, they go to Anfield to a
:43:32. > :43:34.Liverpool side they upset in August. What Liverpool team will turn up
:43:35. > :43:41.today and already this is a big game for Burnley. It is the kind of game
:43:42. > :43:52.where all of the passing has to be accurate, it is windy. A dream start
:43:53. > :44:00.the Burnley! -- for Burnley. Here is John Joe Gray, from non-league to
:44:01. > :44:04.Premier League. Burnley thoroughly deserved their victory and Liverpool
:44:05. > :44:09.have plenty of work to do. Something we keep coming back to
:44:10. > :44:12.with Liverpool, against the top half teams, look where they would be,
:44:13. > :44:17.against the bottom half, they struggle. The game against Leicester
:44:18. > :44:22.where they struggled, and then beating Arsenal, it shows you their
:44:23. > :44:28.seasoning. Yes, and I would suggest that tomorrow's game is their
:44:29. > :44:30.biggest of the season. Look at their remaining fixtures, Everton at home
:44:31. > :44:39.and Manchester City away, but if they play well rest of their games
:44:40. > :44:43.are eminently winnable. Burnley will come one up front, five across the
:44:44. > :44:49.middle, say, try and beat us. That is why it is their most important
:44:50. > :44:53.game. Burnley have two away points this season and both full and
:44:54. > :45:01.Coventry have stayed in the division with only seven points in the road.
:45:02. > :45:02.-- Fuller. Coventry in 2014 never won away in the entire season but it
:45:03. > :45:18.is possible to stay up. It's possible. Their style of play
:45:19. > :45:25.at home they feel they can dictate that style of play their home turf.
:45:26. > :45:28.You can hear Liverpool against Burnley on 5 Live tomorrow and
:45:29. > :45:34.highlights on Match of the Day 2 tomorrow night.
:45:35. > :45:41.I wanted to talk to about Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso who
:45:42. > :45:45.has announced he's going to retire at the end of the season, a key part
:45:46. > :45:51.of the Liverpool side that won the Champions League in 2005, scored the
:45:52. > :45:54.equaliser in game will to do you think he was underappreciated? I
:45:55. > :46:00.think generally everywhere. He's just been an absolute top player.
:46:01. > :46:04.You can really give him any more praise when you look at that team
:46:05. > :46:10.and the only problem is for Liverpool fans, they had him,
:46:11. > :46:14.Mascherano, Suarez. Unbelievable player and when you consider when he
:46:15. > :46:18.signed for Liverpool he came from Real Sociedad, never been anywhere
:46:19. > :46:23.else in the world before that, to settle and he absolutely loved it.
:46:24. > :46:28.If you ask the players he played with,. He was one of those players
:46:29. > :46:33.to play with I can imagine you can set down and ask Steven Gerrard what
:46:34. > :46:36.was he like to play with, fabulous. From the spectator point of view not
:46:37. > :46:39.enough praise but the players that knew him and played with him would
:46:40. > :46:44.have loved playing with him. Wasn't that the one when Rafa Benitez it
:46:45. > :46:50.was a toss-up between him and Gareth Barry and Xabi Alonso left. It was
:46:51. > :46:54.different from that but far too long to tell you, I'd rather tell you a
:46:55. > :46:57.story about Martin Keown who sat next door. We'll do that on the red
:46:58. > :47:02.button next time. Intent of the Champions League this week, his side
:47:03. > :47:06.are through. I want to ask you about the Barcelona comeback against Paris
:47:07. > :47:10.Saint-Germain. There were some dodgy penalties but that has to be one of
:47:11. > :47:14.the greatest comebacks, to school in the 88th minute and still need two
:47:15. > :47:19.more and then to get them. Just the sheer amount of goals. We seem great
:47:20. > :47:21.comebacks, Liverpool in the Champions League final but the
:47:22. > :47:26.amount of goals that were scored in that period of the game to make it
:47:27. > :47:32.as exciting as what it was. It's going to be hard to beat. Any ideas?
:47:33. > :47:37.The thing about it, no ideas about the performance but just watching
:47:38. > :47:41.PSG because they had that emotion of 3-0 down, Cavani scores and their
:47:42. > :47:45.cruising and thinking we are through and then they just completely
:47:46. > :47:48.crumble. Not just physically but mentally and it was a little bit sad
:47:49. > :47:53.watching them in the end, I felt sorry for them. Neymar had a decent
:47:54. > :47:56.last five minutes! With Chelsea being ten points clear of the
:47:57. > :47:59.Premier League, their FA Cup looks like Tottenham's on the remaining
:48:00. > :48:02.chance of silverware this season. League 1 Millwall stand on their way
:48:03. > :48:05.of the semifinals and Garth Crooks has been to see the rock at the
:48:06. > :48:15.heart of Spurs's defence, Mr Alderweireld.
:48:16. > :48:24.Toby, arguably the best season in the Premier League? I think this
:48:25. > :48:28.season and have I can do my thing, I feel very good and I perform well.
:48:29. > :48:33.It's also because of the guys around me who tried to help me. We are one
:48:34. > :48:39.team and I'm happy I can bring a little bit into the team. We watched
:48:40. > :48:45.Tottenham Hotspur player at the moment and they are really good.
:48:46. > :48:49.What's it like to play in that team? Of course I'm honoured to be part of
:48:50. > :48:53.that team, I think we play well because we worked very hard. We have
:48:54. > :48:59.a good group who wants to work and achieve things. It's a pleasure to
:49:00. > :49:02.be here and I'm happy here. Her close to using you are as a group to
:49:03. > :49:07.winning the Premier League title? I think we can do it but it's
:49:08. > :49:10.difficult for the season. Chelsea are ten points above us. We have to
:49:11. > :49:16.keep believing and half to fight and do whatever we can. We can beat the
:49:17. > :49:22.teams, we have a consistent team. It is only getting better and better.
:49:23. > :49:27.Why not? What a special strike to add to the collection of Harry Kane.
:49:28. > :49:31.The season it's important they can to get Champions League to try to
:49:32. > :49:35.achieve that. It helps the group to get better and get more experience
:49:36. > :49:40.at that level, so I think we're going in the right direction and we
:49:41. > :49:45.only want to improve. Dele Alli, Harry Kane. Onside. He will go on to
:49:46. > :49:48.score his hat-trick. Tottenham will not be a team that many will like to
:49:49. > :49:52.be drawn against in the quarterfinals. Is that the one thing
:49:53. > :49:54.that's left for this team, to actually win something and this
:49:55. > :49:58.could be your best chance this season, the FA Cup? Yes, of course
:49:59. > :50:02.it's a big chance for us. We have to see game by game but this group can
:50:03. > :50:06.do it. Just work hard, see game by game and see how far we can go. Do
:50:07. > :50:12.you know much about the rivalry between Spurs and Millwall. This
:50:13. > :50:15.moment yes, we try to focus on the team we play against and is quick to
:50:16. > :50:19.be a mass of atmosphere and White Hart Lane. Really looking forward to
:50:20. > :50:25.playing. Millwall fans are very intense and will bring a lot of
:50:26. > :50:28.atmosphere to White Hart Lane. Yes, our fans will take over and I'm
:50:29. > :50:34.honoured to play at White Hart Lane, it always feels so good, really
:50:35. > :50:39.supportive group and especially the season. If you were to beat Millwall
:50:40. > :50:45.would take you back to Wembley and a semifinal. How do you view that
:50:46. > :50:49.because is it good or bad because you find it difficult to play there.
:50:50. > :50:54.The last two games at Wembley we played very well. We? Against CSKA
:50:55. > :50:59.Moscow and then we played with ten men and we were unbelievable in that
:51:00. > :51:02.game, unfortunately we didn't go through but we put in a good
:51:03. > :51:06.performance on the pitch and it gave us confidence. We don't feel like
:51:07. > :51:11.it's a pitch we can't play well. We are confident there and doing a lot
:51:12. > :51:18.better and we see the next chance to make a good win. When you were with
:51:19. > :51:25.Belgium, were you aware of the FA Cup? Of course, it's the biggest cup
:51:26. > :51:30.competition in the world, the biggest cup. It's a big prize and it
:51:31. > :51:35.would be wonderful to win it. Are you aware of the traditions with the
:51:36. > :51:39.FA Cup in Tottenham. Yes, I don't want to look too much in the past,
:51:40. > :51:42.the future, we have to do our best to bring it home. Harry Kane Danny
:51:43. > :51:45.Rose and the English boys haven't mentioned this? The only mention the
:51:46. > :51:54.next one, they have to win it. He really is a top-class defender
:51:55. > :52:00.and alongside Vertonghen as well, is quite a partnership. Together at
:52:01. > :52:04.Ajax, Belgium, Spurs. They lost only 14 of the 125 league games they
:52:05. > :52:09.played together. You had a great partnership over the years as well,
:52:10. > :52:12.how does it, when you been with somebody that long, do you just know
:52:13. > :52:16.where they are instinctively, you know what they're doing and it just
:52:17. > :52:19.works, particularly in a position? You have to be a pessimist to play
:52:20. > :52:24.there and expect your mate is going to miss it all the time. It's true
:52:25. > :52:27.but in the end you just play so many games and so many different
:52:28. > :52:30.situations, you know what he's going to do and he knows what you're going
:52:31. > :52:33.to do and it's a massive thing because when you chuck in the
:52:34. > :52:38.goalkeeper who read a lot of games with you, all three of you and it
:52:39. > :52:42.makes a massive difference. I highly do you rate Alderweireld as an
:52:43. > :52:45.individual? He's one of the best in the Premier League at the moment his
:52:46. > :52:49.hands down one of the best and I think Tottenham will be very keen to
:52:50. > :52:53.tie him up because you look at other clubs, Manchester United, Manchester
:52:54. > :52:58.City are desperate probably for a top centre-back. He fits the bill.
:52:59. > :53:00.Talking about tying players up, the players this season that Tottenham
:53:01. > :53:13.have sent a long-term contracts. It's great business, the only
:53:14. > :53:16.possible fault is that this Harry Kane suddenly decides he's going to
:53:17. > :53:22.go and play for Real Madrid and I'm not trying to sell him but that goes
:53:23. > :53:29.a bit west of fat happens. That tells me it's a club that is very
:53:30. > :53:32.forward planning. Forward planning and very comfortable with what
:53:33. > :53:37.they're to achieve. You mentioned Alderweireld, he hasn't yet signed a
:53:38. > :53:41.contract but he'll be desperate to tie up. They are so strong
:53:42. > :53:46.defensively. He is in the best position of the lot apart from
:53:47. > :53:50.Harry. What would you like, Toby? He's got a good negotiating
:53:51. > :53:54.position, his agent will enjoy that. The partnership, not only him alone
:53:55. > :53:57.as a player, but the partnership is everything. The centre-back pairing,
:53:58. > :54:02.to know what each other are doing and trust each other or to know when
:54:03. > :54:05.you're not going to trust him as much is key. And he's got the Beast
:54:06. > :54:12.Wanyama in front of him and fantastic goalkeeper. Ten League 1
:54:13. > :54:15.Millwall cause a massive upset tomorrow? They are unbeaten in 17,
:54:16. > :54:16.Neal Harris, the club's record goal-scorer is making a real name
:54:17. > :54:28.for himself in management. COMMENTATOR: Did chest and a good
:54:29. > :54:32.try and fine goal by Harris. During my playing days we always said,
:54:33. > :54:35.who's the best player on the pitch, I give everything. That's what the
:54:36. > :54:42.fans want to see, have that pride and and drive and I always gave that
:54:43. > :54:48.and I believe that gave me a good starting point to be a manager. Can
:54:49. > :54:54.we beat Spurs? Of course we can. One-on-one on the day. Being the
:54:55. > :55:00.underdog suits as as a club. The wall, we're the underdogs. We will
:55:01. > :55:05.embrace the occasion. We have got nothing to lose. Everybody expects
:55:06. > :55:13.Spurs to win but hell of a lot to gain on the day. We love to send him
:55:14. > :55:21.all over the place!. I don't think Neil Harris has got the credit he
:55:22. > :55:25.deserves. I want to do as good at. I've already given you the answer.
:55:26. > :55:30.They were beaten by Manchester United in the final in 2004, Neil
:55:31. > :55:35.Harris understands the club, he's been part of it for such a long
:55:36. > :55:38.time. He played like it, I played against him on several occasions and
:55:39. > :55:42.the ethos of how the club is at how he sets his D-mark, that's how he
:55:43. > :55:46.played. To him it's natural to have that fight and work rate and that
:55:47. > :55:51.aggression and it's how Millwall player and why they could cause
:55:52. > :56:02.upset. Spurs against Millwall as live on BBC One tomorrow.
:56:03. > :56:09.Britain beat Derby 3-0 last night in the Championship with the leaders
:56:10. > :56:13.Newcastle, they are top. -- Brighton beat Derby. Norwich sacked Alex Neil
:56:14. > :56:17.in the build-up to this began, nine points off the play-offs, is that
:56:18. > :56:21.understandable, is it because of the fact they have a pretty good squad
:56:22. > :56:25.but haven't been able to challenge for the play-offs? You've hit the
:56:26. > :56:27.nail on the head, they're not close enough to challenge back to
:56:28. > :56:32.promotion which at this stage of the season was never going to be
:56:33. > :56:36.acceptable. The 5-1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday and the 1-1 draw
:56:37. > :56:39.at Bristol City after being 1-0 in front but they're not really a
:56:40. > :56:43.sacking club but they might get a bounce from the new manager. Alan
:56:44. > :56:49.Irvine is taking charge for them against Blackburn. If they can get a
:56:50. > :56:53.reaction it could be that they are the side that forces their way into
:56:54. > :56:56.the play-offs because there are still quality players. Absolutely,
:56:57. > :57:00.they put the quality and we've seen it with Leicester with a change in
:57:01. > :57:03.management and an immediate transformation in form and results.
:57:04. > :57:08.I'm sure the board will be hoping for that and be looking for
:57:09. > :57:10.permanent managers during that time. You'd not asking the question but
:57:11. > :57:16.I'm going to tell you the answer, Gary Rohit. I was going to ask you
:57:17. > :57:21.that. We've been working together for such a long time you can predict
:57:22. > :57:27.what I'm going to ask you. Lumberjack shirt on as well. If
:57:28. > :57:31.anybody deserves a chance at that club, Gary, with what he did that
:57:32. > :57:36.Burton Albion and Birmingham. We spoke beforehand about the race for
:57:37. > :57:39.promotion and you feel that Sheffield Wednesday are a side who
:57:40. > :57:44.can gather momentum between now and the end of the season. The times
:57:45. > :57:47.I've seen them play live, I've been really impressed with them and they
:57:48. > :57:50.are on the verge of creating something. Little bit shaky at the
:57:51. > :57:55.back which could be a problem but going forward there are real threat.
:57:56. > :58:00.Gentlemen, thank you very much, always a pleasure, Matt. The latest
:58:01. > :58:02.core from the Riverside, still Man City leading Middlesbrough 1-0. This
:58:03. > :58:09.week's predictions are on the BBC sport website. On next week at after
:58:10. > :58:10.Barcelona's heroics this week, here are some comebacks from slightly
:58:11. > :58:17.closer to home. Once we scored the first goal we
:58:18. > :58:21.felt we were going to do it. Don't think I've been involved in anything
:58:22. > :58:29.quite like it. I always believed we could score. It may not be over. Rob
:58:30. > :58:34.Lee! Shearer again. Madge 's United making quite a comeback. Beckham and
:58:35. > :58:41.a lot of space on the 18-yard line and he scores. Coming in, he's
:58:42. > :58:49.scored. Would you have believed it? It's 4-4. Great strike! It's an
:58:50. > :58:58.absolutely and past the goal. It's 4-4. Sergio Aguero! Manchester City
:58:59. > :59:06.win it. 3-3! Three goals and nine minutes. I can't believe what I'm
:59:07. > :59:07.seeing here. They were 3-0 down and they've turned it
