0:00:44 > 0:00:47Regis taking it well on the chest and a lovely piece
0:00:47 > 0:00:48of control by Regis.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Oh, what a great shot!
0:00:49 > 0:00:57Oh, one of the goals of the season, Cyrille Regis.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03That was 1982's Goal of the Season - just one of the many
0:01:03 > 0:01:05memorable moments that Cyrille Regis provided us
0:01:05 > 0:01:06with over the years.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We'll offer our own tribute in the next hour, and Jermaine Jenas
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and Kevin Kilbane will be amongst those reflecting on his
0:01:11 > 0:01:12remarkable legacy.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We also have all this on the way for you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Can Paul Lambert save Stoke City?
0:01:17 > 0:01:22The man himself is in no doubt.
0:01:22 > 0:01:28None whatsoever. As I told you right now, none whatsoever.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Christian Eriksen wants some Spurs silverware.
0:01:33 > 0:01:40If we are lucky enough to get a trophy, a few more...
0:01:40 > 0:01:47Valencia new boy Francis Coquelin on Arsenal's January sales.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Obviously if they let Sanchez go, they will need to strengthen the
0:01:50 > 0:01:50team.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55And ahead of the Edinburgh derby, Craig Levein talks Hearts' revival.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59I felt it was partly my responsibility the club was weird
0:01:59 > 0:02:04was, and I felt a real need to try and help them to fix it.That's all
0:02:04 > 0:02:05to come.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08All Premier League players will wear black armbands in memory
0:02:08 > 0:02:09of Cyrille Regis today.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We'll have team news from the Amex shortly.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14We'll also be live at Turf Moor, the King Power
0:02:14 > 0:02:15and the London Stadium.
0:02:15 > 0:02:23Sam Allardyce takes charge of his 1000th game as a manager
0:02:26 > 0:02:29when Everton face West Brom, and Arsenal set to be
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Alexi Sanchez-less when they take on Palace -
0:02:31 > 0:02:32more on that soon.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34At tea time, the no-longer invincible leaders host Newcastle.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Tomorrow sees Spurs travel to Southampton.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And Swansea's match with a red-hot Liverpool rounds things
0:02:38 > 0:02:42off on Monday night.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Last Monday we brought the news that Stoke City had appointed
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Paul Lambert as their new manager.
0:02:46 > 0:02:46Paul Lambert as their new manager.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Later that night, he watched his new side
0:02:48 > 0:02:54from the stands at Old Trafford.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59COMMENTATOR:Stoke have taken six points off Manchester United since
0:02:59 > 0:03:05Jose Mourinho's appointment. They very often raise their game against
0:03:05 > 0:03:09today's opponents. Paul Lambert is watching tonight before he takes
0:03:09 > 0:03:14control. Loads of space for Antonio Valencia, his left foot, into the
0:03:14 > 0:03:21back of the net! Manchester United score. And already
0:03:21 > 0:03:28he has to see how his team perform being behind in the game. The
0:03:28 > 0:03:36Manchester United goal is leading a charmed life here, attempt from
0:03:36 > 0:03:43Choupo-Moting. 2-0 to Manchester United! Anthony Martial. Brilliant
0:03:43 > 0:03:47saved by David de Gea! Anthony Martial know into the box, could
0:03:47 > 0:03:57have been a handball from Lukaku. It's a goal for Romelu Lukaku. Job
0:03:57 > 0:04:03done by Jose Mourinho's team. And it is no buck to the trend that has
0:04:03 > 0:04:09seen Stoke in the relegation zone.
0:04:09 > 0:04:09is no buck to the trend that has seen Stoke in the relegation zone.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Thank you to all those shouting at their television and these two have
0:04:12 > 0:04:13been shouting as well.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15So a 13th defeat of the season for Stoke.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's a big task for the new man.
0:04:17 > 0:04:25Paul Lambert has been talking to Mark Clemmit.
0:04:27 > 0:04:38How are you?Good.Beautiful. Are you
0:04:38 > 0:04:44you cold? No.You have slightly more hair than
0:04:44 > 0:04:49me. I have seen how well you have worked.Is this a chat up line?Are
0:04:49 > 0:04:53you ready to immerse yourself right back in this torture chamber again?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58It does things with people.Yes, but I think it is great. It is what I
0:04:58 > 0:05:03have done for all my days, really, and it is great. I never thought I
0:05:03 > 0:05:05would get the opportunity, especially with the Premier League
0:05:05 > 0:05:12club. If you are a manager, you have been in there, but to survive in the
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Premiership... Did I think this chance would come? No. When you
0:05:16 > 0:05:25didn't think you would get a chance in the Premier League? No.
0:05:25 > 0:05:34I think those images of view, on Match of the Day. It must be
0:05:34 > 0:05:37horrendous pressure. You become somebody you're not,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39really, when you stand on that technical area and things are really
0:05:39 > 0:05:44going against you and the fans are calling for you to go, the banners
0:05:44 > 0:05:49up, and no matter what you have done in your own career, it is all over
0:05:49 > 0:05:53place at times. The stress on your brain, thinking how can I win again?
0:05:53 > 0:06:00You try to shift it, think of something else to do, go to 3-4
0:06:00 > 0:06:02systems, five systems. You're confusing yourself, confusing the
0:06:02 > 0:06:09players...A solution to join something around, to survive.That
0:06:09 > 0:06:19is what you're trying to do. COMMENTATOR:Not a great start to
0:06:19 > 0:06:21the New Year for Mark Hughes, and you can see what the supporters
0:06:21 > 0:06:28think of it.Charlie, have the players self analysed what hasn't
0:06:28 > 0:06:33happened so far this season?Of course you do. Especially when you
0:06:33 > 0:06:36lose a manager, individually and collectively you need to know the
0:06:36 > 0:06:39reasons why. Let's be honest, and brutally honest, we have not been
0:06:39 > 0:06:43good enough, not reaching the levels we have reached in previous seasons
0:06:43 > 0:06:47and unfortunately the manager carries the can for the whole club.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I have been through what Mark went through and I know exactly what it
0:06:50 > 0:06:53is like. Something different, whatever it was going to be, either
0:06:53 > 0:07:00me or somebody else, they needed something different. I good nucleus
0:07:00 > 0:07:06of football this year.Paul Lambert is the new Stoke City manager,
0:07:06 > 0:07:14signing a two and a half year contract.You just have to... You
0:07:14 > 0:07:17got a call to see come in and chat and the deal was done very quickly?
0:07:17 > 0:07:26Yes. I knew it was great club, the Premier League there as well, and a
0:07:26 > 0:07:31real talented group here. It never entered my frame of mind, OK, one
0:07:31 > 0:07:36manager has turned it down and so has another, but...Do you have to
0:07:36 > 0:07:41earn your stripes when you go in there? Do you have to get your tone
0:07:41 > 0:07:46just right?I think you need to lay down the law, really. OK, this is
0:07:46 > 0:07:51what we are playing, this is what we want to do, what to achieve. I know
0:07:51 > 0:07:55the way we want to play, the system we want to play and what we want to
0:07:55 > 0:07:59try and do, and I have it obviously planned out, but what the game plan
0:07:59 > 0:08:03will be on Saturday... It is just a matter of trying to choose the right
0:08:03 > 0:08:09team to win a game. 15 games are like 15 cup finals I think that we
0:08:09 > 0:08:13need to win. What I have seen so far, there are more than capable of
0:08:13 > 0:08:17winning.No doubt in your mind that Stoke City will be saved this
0:08:17 > 0:08:23season?None whatsoever, as I talk to you right now.He is absolutely
0:08:23 > 0:08:27clear he does not expect you to get relegated this season. Is that an
0:08:27 > 0:08:31ethos is shared by the squad?Of course, if you look at the talent we
0:08:31 > 0:08:37have. And talent alone does not win you games, it is hard work that wins
0:08:37 > 0:08:42games. We win or lose as a group but for most importance is we get back
0:08:42 > 0:08:47to winning days. If we don't, everybody knows what will happen.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49The game is about winning and I don't think that should never be
0:08:49 > 0:08:55taken away from it. You have to win games, no matter what.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00STUDIO: Confidence both from the manager and Charlie Adam there.
0:09:00 > 0:09:07Other managers linked with it, Martin O'Neill, Quique Flores, but
0:09:07 > 0:09:14what an opportunity for Paul Lambert, Kevin?A big opportunity
0:09:14 > 0:09:22for him after what happened with Wolves and Villa, so not last
0:09:22 > 0:09:29chance, but he certainly... And he has the pedigree. He had success
0:09:29 > 0:09:38with what he did at Norwich.Has to learn from his mistakes as well.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Yes, particularly at Villa, where he had a high budget and a lot of
0:09:42 > 0:09:46players and it didn't work out for him. Going in into similar
0:09:46 > 0:09:49circumstances at Stoke, big budget, big players on big wages, and he
0:09:49 > 0:09:52needs to get them all together quickly.It is quite obvious what he
0:09:52 > 0:09:58needs to do. They concede more goals than anyone in the top five leagues
0:09:58 > 0:10:06in Europe. He needs to shore them up.Weirdly, the invested in two
0:10:06 > 0:10:14defensive players in the summer, Kurt Zouma... But when you look at
0:10:14 > 0:10:16them defensively, especially against Manchester United on Monday night, I
0:10:16 > 0:10:20thought it was a team issue. I think that is pretty poor from the
0:10:20 > 0:10:23left-back personally. The young lad, give him the benefit of the doubt,
0:10:23 > 0:10:29he will learn from that, being shown down the line, but it is not just
0:10:29 > 0:10:33individuals. They need to be harder to beat, Stoke. They seem a little
0:10:33 > 0:10:37too easy to play against, and this came in particular, you can set here
0:10:37 > 0:10:40and rave about Manchester United and I fought they were brilliant and
0:10:40 > 0:10:43don't want to take anything away from that, but it also looked really
0:10:43 > 0:10:47easy. People playing in third gear. You think that is why he made that
0:10:47 > 0:10:50comment in the interview about laying down the law? An interesting
0:10:50 > 0:10:56tactic. It is a fine line. They have had a
0:10:56 > 0:11:01pretty low season in terms of morale at Stoke, a lot of pressure on the
0:11:01 > 0:11:03manager, Mark Hughes, and the players, and I think there needs to
0:11:03 > 0:11:07be and not in terms of positivity and I am sure he will bring that
0:11:07 > 0:11:09under the training pitch but obviously the next group of games we
0:11:09 > 0:11:13have seen just there are vital, that they get not only draws but also
0:11:13 > 0:11:19some wins.Look at the three goals they conceded there. Historically,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22how many bodies did Stoke get back into position? Throwing themselves
0:11:22 > 0:11:26in front of the ball. They just didn't have anyone doing that. They
0:11:26 > 0:11:30had more than enough bodies back in position and it was easy for United
0:11:30 > 0:11:35to score.Perhaps a new manager can make that subtle change. What about
0:11:35 > 0:11:42Huddersfield? Talking about the big period for Stoke, but crucial for
0:11:42 > 0:11:47them as well. They can't slow down and be petrified of relegation.They
0:11:47 > 0:11:51are only four point ahead of Stoke and what a difference it will make
0:11:51 > 0:11:57to Stoke if they win the game, but you think, yes, of wins, it is a
0:11:57 > 0:12:00vital period for them. If they are conceding like the Adebayor, they
0:12:00 > 0:12:04will be in trouble.We are all in our little summer shorts. Shall we
0:12:04 > 0:12:08see how cold it was for this one...
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Manchester United saw off Stoke on Monday.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Today, they are at Burnley.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Jonathan Pearce will be commentating on this one for Match of the Day.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Give an update is not just on the hat, but on what we know about
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Alexis Sanchez?And getting ready for rush. With my geographic ability
0:12:24 > 0:12:30no doubt I will end up in Siberia, and if I end up there, it is for
0:12:30 > 0:12:36sure that I will be taking Kilbane with me. Alexis Sanchez said goodbye
0:12:36 > 0:12:42to the Arsenal players last night, and we think the deal will be done
0:12:42 > 0:12:49in the next 24 hours. Mkhitaryan's deal will be done separately. Very
0:12:49 > 0:12:54differently because of the fees and agents involved, but he should be an
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Arsenal player again in the next two days. He said his goodbyes to the
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Manchester United players yesterday I gather as well. Arsenal's next
0:13:02 > 0:13:10plan will be to confirm the deal with Aubameyang who was left out of
0:13:10 > 0:13:14the Borussia Dortmund squad for the last game, but I think all those
0:13:14 > 0:13:19details will be confirmed on Monday. Thank you. Just to give our viewers
0:13:19 > 0:13:22one last lingering look at your hat. If you can stay down the camera,
0:13:22 > 0:13:31beautiful. The Phil Davy Crockett!
0:13:31 > 0:13:32-- The full Davy Crockett!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, like Manchester United, Chelsea are intent on securing
0:13:34 > 0:13:37their top four position, but it was FA Cup action
0:13:37 > 0:13:40for the Blues on Wednesday night as the Canaries came to town.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41It was all about reviewing the reviews.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43COMMENTATOR:Fourth in the Premier League meets 13th in the
0:13:43 > 0:13:48Championship and we will have a result tonight. Danny Drinkwater
0:13:48 > 0:13:51going for goal, slamming the crossbar. Just off the top of the
0:13:51 > 0:13:59bar! He finds the back of the net, Batshuayi! It is in! They have
0:13:59 > 0:14:04equalised, right at the end of the game. Lewis has
0:14:04 > 0:14:04equalised, right at the end of the game. Lewis has got it! Norwich City
0:14:04 > 0:14:09will be looking forward to the next 30 minutes. Entered Bakayoko,
0:14:09 > 0:14:15brilliant play. Goes down inside the box and the referee does not give
0:14:15 > 0:14:22the penalty, given the other way. No sign at the moment...We think it is
0:14:22 > 0:14:28a clear obvious penalty.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32a clear obvious penalty.Challenged by Pedro. Already booked and he will
0:14:32 > 0:14:43be sent off. Morato, under pressure, goes down, no penalty, a free kick
0:14:43 > 0:14:48and Morato gets the yellow card within his face. Norwich City have
0:14:48 > 0:14:55taken the champions Chelsea to penalties. Norwich City, saved! By
0:14:55 > 0:15:04the Argentinian! Hazard strokes at home! Finally, Chelsea prevail.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06So Chelsea squeak through, but no Pedro or Morata
0:15:06 > 0:15:08for them today at Brighton, and Simon Brotherton has
0:15:08 > 0:15:14rest of the team news.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Plenty of team used to get through here, six changes for Chelsea from
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Wednesday night, although Caballero stays in goal because Thibaut
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Courtois has turned an ankle in training. Still no Fabregas Gary
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Cahill with injury. Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger
0:15:29 > 0:15:33replace David Luiz and Ethan Ampadu at the back. N'Golo Kante returns in
0:15:33 > 0:15:36place of Danny Drinkwater in midfield. Both regular wingback
0:15:36 > 0:15:41scumbag into the team, Marcos Alonso on the left, Victor Moses on the
0:15:41 > 0:15:45right and Eden Hazard starts in place of Pedro further forward.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Write and make five changes as they go to a back three, Conor Goldson
0:15:49 > 0:15:53coming in, Markus Suttner and Schelotto the wingbacks, Solly March
0:15:53 > 0:15:56starting and the attack is led by Tomer Hemed with Glenn Murray
0:15:56 > 0:15:59dropped to the bench, as if Izquierdo.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07We will look through those sites, Chelsea with a couple of changes,
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Batshuayi upfront and Ross Barkley on the bench. I wanted to talk to
0:16:12 > 0:16:15you about VAR because it has been a hot topic. We mulled weave onto the
0:16:15 > 0:16:21game later. Antonio Conte has voiced some concerns. You were at the game.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25What I find surprising is that Mike Jones, who was the man watching it,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29did not seem to watch it from the right angle, the Willian incident,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32or at the right speed to make a decision.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35or at the right speed to make a decision.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It seems Mike Jones having to operate the system on his own is not
0:16:38 > 0:16:39the way
0:16:39 > 0:16:40operate the system on his own is not the way forward. It feels like they
0:16:40 > 0:16:43may need a professional operator to keep up with the speed of being able
0:16:43 > 0:16:47to make the decision and give them enough angle to make the right
0:16:47 > 0:16:50decision. Obviously, I did the commentary on the day and I felt it
0:16:50 > 0:16:56was clear as day it was a penalty. The fact that they did not seem to
0:16:56 > 0:17:01review it. You know, it was not clear to anyone in the stadium that
0:17:01 > 0:17:04we have reviewed it and we are still saying we don't think it is a
0:17:04 > 0:17:08penalty which would have infuriated people even more. That was really
0:17:08 > 0:17:12confusing side of things. I think we have to be careful because it is
0:17:12 > 0:17:16still in a trial phase and you don't want to start destroying it because
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I think it will be good for the game eventually. But when things like
0:17:19 > 0:17:25that happen, it really knocks you for six. I suppose that is the
0:17:25 > 0:17:29problem.And it is annoying because the technology is there and we saw
0:17:29 > 0:17:33it the previous night at the King Power when Kelechi Iheanacho's
0:17:33 > 0:17:37second goal was rightly given.It was and I thought he was offside
0:17:37 > 0:17:42initially and it was a good decision but once it was reviewed, it was
0:17:42 > 0:17:48Nathan Pond's trailing leg that kept Iheanacho onside. I think it was
0:17:48 > 0:17:51done in under 70 seconds and I thought Jon Moss is did brilliantly,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56bided his time, waited and he did not even go to the site to review it
0:17:56 > 0:17:59himself he was told from up above it was clearly on-site and gave the
0:17:59 > 0:18:02goal, it was handled perfectly and brilliantly and there was tension in
0:18:02 > 0:18:05the stadium around it but I thought it was brilliantly handled and
0:18:05 > 0:18:09worked so well and that man Jon Moss handle did brilliantly. No
0:18:09 > 0:18:13complaints at the King Power on Tuesday but I was watching the game
0:18:13 > 0:18:17on Wednesday night when Jermaine was commentating and Jermaine had it
0:18:17 > 0:18:28within two replays, two or three, maximum, he knew it was a
0:18:28 > 0:18:30maximum, he knew it was a penalty and that was why we were watching
0:18:30 > 0:18:33it, going "It's a penalty, why hasn't it been given?"We should not
0:18:33 > 0:18:34moan to much because it is for games
0:18:34 > 0:18:34hasn't it been given?"We should not moan to much because it is for games
0:18:34 > 0:18:37in and it will get better. A quick word on Peter Grant potentially
0:18:37 > 0:18:39cajoled the question mark they gone to review.Don't get me wrong, I
0:18:39 > 0:18:43thought it was a weird one when I woke up and heard about it! It seems
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Antonio Conte wants a plan B. He has highlighted taller players to fit
0:18:45 > 0:18:52the mould.Andy Carroll, Peter Crouch.I've played with Peter
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Crouch and for me, he's as good as it gets when it comes to plan B.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59It's not a long-term situation, big contract anything. I'm sure it will
0:18:59 > 0:19:02be short-term, for Antonio Conte to have another option in the next few
0:19:02 > 0:19:10months.Let's look at the Brighton team.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Five changes today, and I was going to ask you, Kevin change to this is
0:19:14 > 0:19:19more personal, do they bring someone in and last night they signed Jurgen
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Locaydia, £14 million, not available today but is it the right time of
0:19:22 > 0:19:26the season to have a change?I think Chris Hughton has recognised they
0:19:26 > 0:19:29need a freshen up, like we said about Huddersfield earlier, they are
0:19:29 > 0:19:34in a position where it is tipping one way or another. What does he do?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37He's gone out and signed striker because they need goals, they are
0:19:37 > 0:19:41solid and difficult to play against, they don't concede too many but now
0:19:41 > 0:19:45suddenly they are in a position by signing of striker where they have
0:19:45 > 0:19:48more firepower.These are the set pieces they conceded against West
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Brom last weekend.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53That's one of eight games today.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Tomorrow's sole offering sees Southampton face Spurs.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Christian Eriksen has been a key man for Tottenham again this season
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and he sat down this week with Karthi Gnanasegaram.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Christian Eriksen!It's in! Absolutely brilliant goal from
0:20:10 > 0:20:16Eriksen!Christian Eriksen! That was smashed in.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Eriksen!Christian Eriksen! That was smashed in.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22You already know 2018 will be exciting of the pitch.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Congratulations to you and Sabrina. You have spoken to Harry Kane who's
0:20:25 > 0:20:29had a new baby as well.Of course, we spoke to a lot of people who had
0:20:29 > 0:20:32babies, trying to learn stuff from them and see what they do but you
0:20:32 > 0:20:35what to do it in your own way as well and you don't know what it is
0:20:35 > 0:20:39before it is so there's not much to ask.A big year on the pitch as
0:20:39 > 0:20:49well, a World
0:20:49 > 0:20:51well, a World Cup year for you, nine goals in nine games for Denmark in
0:20:51 > 0:20:542017 including a hat-trick against Ireland to get to Russia. For you,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57what does it mean to play in a World Cup again?It will be very special
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and a big difference compared to the first time when I played one or two
0:21:00 > 0:21:04games before I went to the World Cup so it was a bit of a quick one. I
0:21:04 > 0:21:06was a young guy trying to keep my level up to the highest level and
0:21:06 > 0:21:09now I'm there is so for me personally, and for the team, it
0:21:09 > 0:21:12will be a different experience going there. Now I'm 26 and I'm looking
0:21:12 > 0:21:16forward to it.You were not the youngest boy at the 2010 World Cup
0:21:16 > 0:21:20at the time. There was a lot of pressure then. You're now the
0:21:20 > 0:21:24talisman for Denmark. What is the pressure like now and how do you
0:21:24 > 0:21:28cope with it?The pressure back then was more open, to show yourself to
0:21:28 > 0:21:33the world and to everyone that you can play. Now it is about keeping
0:21:33 > 0:21:36the ability and being an important man for the team, like you said, and
0:21:36 > 0:21:42for the country. It is two different stories, from one who just came to
0:21:42 > 0:21:45watch and now you are one who can't even believe it has been eight years
0:21:45 > 0:21:51since the last time. It has gone quick.Eriksen! It is in. Harry
0:21:51 > 0:21:57Kane. Son Square, 2-0. Great goal. 4-0. Son Heung-min. Harry Kane has
0:21:57 > 0:22:04done it!Great game at the weekend. It will be different compared to the
0:22:04 > 0:22:07first one because they probably don't want to get beaten as big as
0:22:07 > 0:22:12they did last time so it will be a different game to watch.You had
0:22:12 > 0:22:16such a good run of form that that was after what was not a great
0:22:16 > 0:22:21November. Has anything switched over in his last period?Not really, even
0:22:21 > 0:22:26the big games in November, we always had a lot of shots, created a lot of
0:22:26 > 0:22:30chances but we didn't score. Now it is the difference, the ball goes in
0:22:30 > 0:22:35the goal a bit easier, the game is a bit more open and it gives us a bit
0:22:35 > 0:22:38more confidence going into the game that we know we will score two or
0:22:38 > 0:22:42three. That is just is. You go on some good games and bad games and
0:22:42 > 0:22:45you are trying to keep the good memories on top of everything and
0:22:45 > 0:22:49really just keep improving when you do it. Like I said, we are on a good
0:22:49 > 0:22:53run but it is only the start. It will be a long one.With a group of
0:22:53 > 0:22:57players that quite clearly from watching get on very well, is their
0:22:57 > 0:23:02role so the idea you want to win a trophy together?I think every team
0:23:02 > 0:23:05has it. Every team wants to win something. Some of them are lucky
0:23:05 > 0:23:09enough to get a trophy or a few more. Of course, we have not had
0:23:09 > 0:23:13anything at Spurs. It will be new for us to be in that position. We
0:23:13 > 0:23:19have been close, lost a final of course but getting there will be a
0:23:19 > 0:23:22big step for us and I'm sure we will keep the level up that we did the
0:23:22 > 0:23:28last three seasons and hopefully be a trophy again, yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33A big year in store for Christian Eriksen on and off the pitch. He
0:23:33 > 0:23:36dropped the T bomb, trophy, there. This site had a blip around
0:23:36 > 0:23:40November, really good over Christmas and New Year but unless they win
0:23:40 > 0:23:42some silverware, will everyone always said they were good but what
0:23:42 > 0:23:48did they win?They will do, simple as that. That is getting thrown at
0:23:48 > 0:23:52them on a daily basis even now. They are that good as the team, the
0:23:52 > 0:23:56manager is fantastic and there is just this one thing everyone is
0:23:56 > 0:23:58waiting for. Individually, they could all come you know,
0:23:58 > 0:23:59waiting for. Individually, they could all come you know, we have
0:23:59 > 0:24:03seen with Kyle Walker, looks like he will go to Manchester City and win
0:24:03 > 0:24:06another trophy, they have started to put in the performances as we saw
0:24:06 > 0:24:11last week against Everton, they were phenomenal in this game but I think
0:24:11 > 0:24:14the most important thing that is in these players' mind is they have
0:24:14 > 0:24:19been together for so long now, they want to win something together. It's
0:24:19 > 0:24:22going off on your own to bigger clubs in winning silverware which
0:24:22 > 0:24:25they are all capable of doing but doing it together with this manager
0:24:25 > 0:24:28in this moment, when they all feel they deserve it is what will be
0:24:28 > 0:24:34really special.But how long can it last? That is the question.They
0:24:34 > 0:24:37will lose players, I suppose, which is part of the issue and the longer
0:24:37 > 0:24:40you go without a trophy, the more pressure it puts on you. But they
0:24:40 > 0:24:45are good enough to cross the line. I suppose they need a bit of luck
0:24:45 > 0:24:49along the way to get themselves into another final oral final.New
0:24:49 > 0:24:53stadium on the Wes Welker exciting times for Spurs but everyone is
0:24:53 > 0:24:58crying out for the silverware. In Southampton this weekend, no wins in
0:24:58 > 0:25:03ten. We have got relative positions after this number of games in the
0:25:03 > 0:25:06last six seasons. Most times we say they sell their best players but the
0:25:06 > 0:25:11model works. Could this be the season that it fails them?I've been
0:25:11 > 0:25:15to watch Southampton a few times this season and it's becoming a bit
0:25:15 > 0:25:19lifeless, watching them. There's no sort of excitement watching them
0:25:19 > 0:25:22like there has been in the past and that is where, if you asked the
0:25:22 > 0:25:25question, do you feel as though the model can continue, it always seems
0:25:25 > 0:25:29it will come to an end eventually. That is just doable.You can't keep
0:25:29 > 0:25:34doing it.How sustainable is it? That is the thing. Personally,
0:25:34 > 0:25:40watching them, I think they will be in trouble to the end of the season
0:25:40 > 0:25:43because I feel as though there is no spark watching them. They are going
0:25:43 > 0:25:45to Spurs tomorrow, Spurs are playing against a side where you feel they
0:25:45 > 0:25:48could go there and hurt them badly with the players they have got. I
0:25:48 > 0:25:50worry for Southampton.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Well, if Southampton and Spurs can tomorrow produce anything half
0:25:54 > 0:26:01as good as the game at Anfield last Sunday, then Match of the Day 2
0:26:01 > 0:26:07This could be an epic game of attack, attack, attack. Good run by
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Oxlade-Chamberlain, goes for it and scores! Liverpool lead! Leroy Sane
0:26:12 > 0:26:19scores! Great equaliser from Manchester City. Delph! Flicks the
0:26:19 > 0:26:25bar. Firmino, no foul! It is curling! It is in! Mane! He's hit
0:26:25 > 0:26:33the post. A let off for City. Mane. This time, he scores! Listened to
0:26:33 > 0:26:41the noise! Mo Salah, does he go for it? He does and he has scored!
0:26:41 > 0:26:50Anfield is shaking. Manchester City are rocking. Aguero, beautifully
0:26:50 > 0:26:53played, gun began, good block, Bernardo Silva scores for Manchester
0:26:53 > 0:27:00City. 4-2. Gunn began, dangerous, goal! 4-3. If Manchester City get
0:27:00 > 0:27:05out of here unbeaten, it will be practically miraculous. Manchester
0:27:05 > 0:27:12City free kick. This is going to be interesting. Kevin De Bruyne's bull
0:27:12 > 0:27:17in! The flag was up anyway. City are beaten for the first time in the
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Premier League this season. Their dirty game league unbeaten run has
0:27:21 > 0:27:27come to an end. -- 30 game.That was a proper game of
0:27:27 > 0:27:30come to an end. -- 30 game.That was a proper game of football. Do you
0:27:30 > 0:27:32think, people have talked about Manchester City losing for the first
0:27:32 > 0:27:33time
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Manchester City losing for the first time and have Liverpool fan some
0:27:34 > 0:27:37frailties or was it one of those games when everything that could
0:27:37 > 0:27:41have gone wrong for Manchester City did?I think Liverpool can do this
0:27:41 > 0:27:47to anyone in Europe when they are at it and the stadium has that type of
0:27:47 > 0:27:51atmosphere, anyone could rock up to Anfield and ship for goals. Yes,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55City makes some big mistakes which we have not seen this year but let's
0:27:55 > 0:27:59not forget, Liverpool still had to score four to win a game at home and
0:27:59 > 0:28:01it nearly still didn't quite go their way. It's one of the best
0:28:01 > 0:28:05games of football I've seen in a long time. I absolutely loved it but
0:28:05 > 0:28:10it felt like a one-off to me. City still showed so much character and
0:28:10 > 0:28:14spirit to get into it even after big mistakes from Ederson, just like
0:28:14 > 0:28:18that. But Liverpool, what a performance. Like I said, they will
0:28:18 > 0:28:24do that to anyone, I really believe it.Mo Salah scores again. Klopp has
0:28:24 > 0:28:28confirmed Loris Karius as his number one so does that mean he will not
0:28:28 > 0:28:33strengthen in that position and stick by him?He clearly needs to.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Either goalkeeper, you can't be convinced by. Personally, I think
0:28:37 > 0:28:41this is a mistake, a good strike from Leroy Sane but I think it's a
0:28:41 > 0:28:44mistake. This has happened regularly with Liverpool. They were so
0:28:44 > 0:28:47dominant in the first half, they could have been two or three up and
0:28:47 > 0:28:52a goalkeeping error has allowed City back. In the first ten or 15 minutes
0:28:52 > 0:28:56of the second half before Liverpool got the second, City were on top so
0:28:56 > 0:29:04the mistake can Kostyuk and it is continuously happening. He's not
0:29:04 > 0:29:06been convinced with Mignolet, Loris Karius has not been convincing
0:29:06 > 0:29:08cities gone there. I think it is the key area Liverpool need to
0:29:08 > 0:29:13strengthen now and if they do, they can seriously content neck season.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16They are formidable. City host Newcastle in the late game. We keep
0:29:16 > 0:29:20on having the same conversation about Newcastle. The manager wants
0:29:20 > 0:29:23to strengthen but the club cannot seem to get the sale over the line,
0:29:23 > 0:29:27they are holding out for a better deal at both ends up things. If they
0:29:27 > 0:29:28don't sort
0:29:28 > 0:29:30deal at both ends up things. If they don't sort this out in January, and
0:29:30 > 0:29:35Benitez does not get the players he is talking about. Could this then
0:29:35 > 0:29:41badly?Triggered. I can't remember the last Newcastle were the Premier
0:29:41 > 0:29:43League and did not have any issues. It's ridiculous, there's always
0:29:43 > 0:29:47something going on. The issue is as a player when you want to join an
0:29:47 > 0:29:50amazing club like Newcastle, one of the big things you want is the
0:29:50 > 0:29:54assurance Rafa Benitez will be there to help continue your career in the
0:29:54 > 0:29:57right direction, as well as joining a fantastic football club. But
0:29:57 > 0:29:57right direction, as well as joining a fantastic football club. But there
0:29:57 > 0:30:01no assurances Benitez will be their past the summer with what is going
0:30:01 > 0:30:04on right now, the uncertainty of being able to strengthen and bring
0:30:04 > 0:30:09in players and they desperately need to. Dropping points to Swansea last
0:30:09 > 0:30:14week, it said a lot to me. It is a worrying sign. They had to win this
0:30:14 > 0:30:19game. The fact they didn't was a terrible result. Yes, they got back
0:30:19 > 0:30:23into it but at the same time, they need goals and they need to be
0:30:23 > 0:30:28stronger at the back. They need more to stay in this league. As it
0:30:28 > 0:30:32stands, for me, I've said before, I think it will be an unbelievable
0:30:32 > 0:30:36result if they manage to even stay in the Premier League this year.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Well, Liverpool were amongst a number of clubs taking part this
0:30:41 > 0:30:43week in the launch of Super Movers.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49Heard about that one?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52The BBC and the Premier League have made it their mission to help
0:30:52 > 0:31:02primary leak children move more. Superstars like this...And this,
0:31:02 > 0:31:10will be joining forces to energise young kids and help kids get moving,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12to the Super Movers beat.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Well worth checking out.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Time for another type of mover now in Francis Coquelin,
0:31:16 > 0:31:23who has swapped north London for the sunshine of Spain.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30I have been here only a week now but I am settling in very well, all the
0:31:30 > 0:31:35people are very nice. There was interest from Valencia in the summer
0:31:35 > 0:31:41and I think I will try to get my place back at Arsenal, but that
0:31:41 > 0:31:45didn't happen so in the January window when I heard they were still
0:31:45 > 0:31:48interested it was a good opportunity for me to enjoy my football and,
0:31:48 > 0:31:55here and try to do something. The league is different in England,
0:31:55 > 0:32:01you know, a bit more physical. The way the top teams try to play, but
0:32:01 > 0:32:08it is quite physical as well. Here you have physical abilities as well
0:32:08 > 0:32:13but technically I think that La Liga is superb, and that all the teams
0:32:13 > 0:32:18can play. It all a lot to Arsenal Football Club, they raised me as a
0:32:18 > 0:32:24footballer but as a man as
0:32:24 > 0:32:26footballer but as a man as well -- I owe a lot to Arsenal Football Club.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31To the manager as well, he raised me. And I am at Valencia to write a
0:32:31 > 0:32:38new chapter of my life.Theo Walcott has left and Alexis Sanchez is the
0:32:38 > 0:32:40big move, possibly going to Manchester United.Heard a lot of
0:32:40 > 0:32:43things in the dressing room but I don't really know where they come
0:32:43 > 0:32:49from. He is someone who is always keen to work. I don't think the
0:32:49 > 0:32:58squad is the problem, it is just the uncertainty around him.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03I don't think it a crisis. Obviously they need a couple of results to get
0:33:03 > 0:33:07going again obviously if Alexis Sanchez goes, they will need to
0:33:07 > 0:33:12strengthen the team, and for the fans as well, because they demand
0:33:12 > 0:33:17obviously a competitive team. They will be upset if no one comes
0:33:17 > 0:33:22in in the transfer market for Sanchez.Is Wenger the right person
0:33:22 > 0:33:29to see the club through this?People tend to forget what he has done for
0:33:29 > 0:33:32the club. The frustration, I think everyone needs to stand by him. He's
0:33:32 > 0:33:36the manager of the club and I think everyone has to be him. Because that
0:33:36 > 0:33:40is the only way the results will turn around.
0:33:40 > 0:33:46STUDIO: Surprised he left Arsenal. He did a good job?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49I'm not surprised he left. I thought a couple of years ago he was doing a
0:33:49 > 0:33:53really good job and everyone was talking about this guy, solid
0:33:53 > 0:33:58midfield, love the tackle, and I think this year, and the second half
0:33:58 > 0:34:02of last year, I felt the Arsenal fans turned on him a little bit.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Yes, he had some poor performances, and I think the sending off at White
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Hart Lane was one of the big ones, but at the same time, younger
0:34:09 > 0:34:16player, stick with him. Help build him up, maybe. I know me and Kevin
0:34:16 > 0:34:22firmly believe he is better than Elneny, so have they let him down a
0:34:22 > 0:34:27little? I just think of it Arsenal fans turned on him and it had a
0:34:27 > 0:34:30knock-on effect on his performances. Another man who has left Arsenal,
0:34:30 > 0:34:37Theo Walcott. Off to Everton. I don't know if you saw the press
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Conference, but speaking with great confidence, enjoyed being with big
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Sam Allardyce there as well. Right move for him at the rate he
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Ministry?I thought he was great in the press Conference, spoke
0:34:47 > 0:34:51brilliantly, obviously got it to have left Arsenal the way it is. I
0:34:51 > 0:34:57think it is perhaps two years behind when he should have gone because
0:34:57 > 0:35:00almost in those last two, three years, he has gone a bit stale and
0:35:00 > 0:35:03some players need that moves to reignite their career. I think it is
0:35:03 > 0:35:06a great move for Everton. They desperately need pace and don't have
0:35:06 > 0:35:09a lot upfront. I think he will be that player they can bring in to
0:35:09 > 0:35:13make those runs that Gylfi Sigurdsson Wayne Rooney can pick him
0:35:13 > 0:35:18out, so I think there's a good move from their point of view. I look at
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and I think Theo Walcott is thinking, hang on,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24he left and all of a sudden he's producing this form at Liverpool. I
0:35:24 > 0:35:28want a piece of that. I want to go and get better. And I think that
0:35:28 > 0:35:32will happen now years gone.Chelsea have already scored against
0:35:32 > 0:35:41Brighton, by the way, Hazard scoring for Chelsea. Talking about players
0:35:41 > 0:35:44coming in, Aubameyang, an interesting one. Is that the right
0:35:44 > 0:35:48sort of move for Arsenal? Because the fans need something this
0:35:48 > 0:35:54January.I think so. We definitely haven't seen the best of Mkhitaryan,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57at Borussia Dortmund, always linked up with Aubameyang and hurt teams in
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Europe. I think what hearts Arsenal the most is sending one of their
0:36:01 > 0:36:06stars to a rival, but I think it will appease them, if they can bring
0:36:06 > 0:36:09in Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, I think it is a step in the right
0:36:09 > 0:36:13direction, to appease them. And also perhaps adapting their style a bit,
0:36:13 > 0:36:19going forward and be more creative. And they take on Palace today. The
0:36:19 > 0:36:23statistics around them are ludicrous. There start of the season
0:36:23 > 0:36:27and they are now 12th and they have only lost three of the last 16. What
0:36:27 > 0:36:34a job he has done.You have to admire him. He is not trying to play
0:36:34 > 0:36:37anything up, post much, just plays it cool, not pulling his own
0:36:37 > 0:36:42trumpet. Says we have a long way to go, just playing it cool, that is
0:36:42 > 0:36:48his ethos and it has been great to see -- post match.OK.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Bournemouth buoyant after beating Arsenal and then, a midweek FA Cup
0:36:51 > 0:36:52exit at the hands of Wigan.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55They got off to a bad start when the Wigan skipper Sam Morsy
0:36:55 > 0:36:57slotted home after Will Grigg's effort was saved.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59The League 1 leaders doubled their advantage
0:36:59 > 0:37:00in the second half.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Substitute Dan Burn converting Max Power's cross.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05In off the bar, and three minutes later it was all over,
0:37:05 > 0:37:06when this well-directed header from Callum Elder
0:37:06 > 0:37:07made it 3-0.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09How about that for are perfectly aimed header?
0:37:09 > 0:37:16Paul Cook's side will now face West Ham in the fourth round.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18So it could have been West Ham and Bournemouth
0:37:18 > 0:37:21in the FA Cup next Saturday.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24It is West Ham and Bournemouth in the Premier League this afternoon.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Steve Bower is there for us.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Apart from comparing notes on Wigan, an aborted game for both sides?Yes,
0:37:32 > 0:37:39you're right. Both have had a resurgence -- an important game for
0:37:39 > 0:37:43both sides. Speaking about Crystal Palace, but West Ham have something
0:37:43 > 0:37:46similar. They picked up three points from 24 and in the last 24 they
0:37:46 > 0:37:50suddenly have 15 on the board and it led to David Moyes yesterday
0:37:50 > 0:37:55speaking about five more wins to get to that magical 40 point mark. Real
0:37:55 > 0:37:58momentum suddenly about West Ham. He has brought that organisation which
0:37:58 > 0:38:02we knew he would do and he has goals at the other end. Marko Arnautovic
0:38:02 > 0:38:09is a big reason for that, six
0:38:12 > 0:38:13is a big reason for that, six goals in his last seven games, linking up
0:38:13 > 0:38:16with Manuel Lanzini. Only losing one of their last eight at home and
0:38:16 > 0:38:18suddenly there is a different feeling in the stadium. This fixture
0:38:18 > 0:38:21of course open the Premier League at the London stadium, which they won
0:38:21 > 0:38:23one of his era. For these teams, suddenly of results go their way
0:38:23 > 0:38:26they could find themselves in the top half of the table
0:38:26 > 0:38:30psychologically by the end of this evening. Speaking psychologically,
0:38:30 > 0:38:35Bournemouth, yes, after that FA Cup, Eddie Howe making eight changes, but
0:38:35 > 0:38:40what a lift and a shot in the arm for them to beat Arsenal at home.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46Since I saw them lose heavily at the Etihad Stadium, what a change, they
0:38:46 > 0:38:49have a chance to keep that going. These two are separated by just one
0:38:49 > 0:38:54point. A landmark day for Eddie Howe as well, his 100th Premier League
0:38:54 > 0:38:58game, the youngest Premier League manager to reach that landmark. I
0:38:58 > 0:39:12will let you there think about the other two.Brighton are 2-0 down to
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Chelsea, Willian getting the second.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15More from Steve on Final Score later.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Dion Dublin and Alex Scott will be across all the 3 o'clocks
0:39:18 > 0:39:19with Eilidh Barbour.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Jermaine is back tonight with Alan Shearer
0:39:20 > 0:39:22and Gary on Match of the Day.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23MOTD2 extra tomorrow with Southampton
0:39:23 > 0:39:25and Spurs to look forward to.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27And Mark Chapman will complete the weekend at 10:30pm tomorrow.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32Last Saturday, West Brom won their first league match
0:39:32 > 0:39:35since August, but any joy was quickly tempered
0:39:35 > 0:39:38by the news on Monday morning that their former striker
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Cyrille Regis had died suddenly at the age of 59.
0:39:40 > 0:39:47Albion fan Adrian Chiles looks back on his life and legacy.
0:39:47 > 0:39:57He was just a leader, a trailblazer. Very dignified.Cyrille was a lovely
0:39:57 > 0:40:02guy, a gentleman.God must be short of strikers, and he has chosen the
0:40:02 > 0:40:07right one.The man who did so much to change British football was
0:40:07 > 0:40:12actually born in French Guyana. Raised in West London, he trained as
0:40:12 > 0:40:17an electrician after leaving school but in 1977 his talent caught the
0:40:17 > 0:40:20eye of West Brom and suddenly a new career and a new era in British
0:40:20 > 0:40:28football sparked into life. COMMENTATOR:Superb! Cyrille Regis
0:40:28 > 0:40:33has come from semiprofessional football, and he has blasted his way
0:40:33 > 0:40:38into the scene at the top.He played with a certain freedom, because he
0:40:38 > 0:40:43came from non-league. A wonderful centre forward. He played with a
0:40:43 > 0:40:49smile on his face.He could bring people into play quite comfortably,
0:40:49 > 0:40:53make runs, scorer goals from all sorts of places, spectacular goals.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59A real powerful runner. A number nine that most clubs now play with
0:40:59 > 0:41:04more than a lot of money for, but a team player that had real good
0:41:04 > 0:41:07individual qualities that could create something and of course we
0:41:07 > 0:41:11remember some of the wonderful individual goals he scored.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16COMMENTATOR:What a great shot! One of the goals of the season, Cyrille
0:41:16 > 0:41:25Regis!As the goal Lewin Dooley Max Lowe in far uglier things flew down
0:41:25 > 0:41:29from the terraces. At a time when not many black players played
0:41:29 > 0:41:35football, he was the target of vile relentless racist abuse.I was
0:41:35 > 0:41:38listening on the TV, and obviously I didn't know what was going on but
0:41:38 > 0:41:49you could hear the monkey chants. The aggravation we talked about in
0:41:49 > 0:41:53the 70s and a diplomat, all the racial aggravation, I never saw
0:41:53 > 0:41:58Cyrille get angry. He just seemed to show people his ability -- in the
0:41:58 > 0:42:0370s and 80s.If you can apply your trade on a football pitch well
0:42:03 > 0:42:08getting abused, nonstop, you are bigger man than me because I
0:42:08 > 0:42:13probably would have reacted. That is what makes them different, what
0:42:13 > 0:42:18makes Cyrille different.His bride defied prejudiced the matter how
0:42:18 > 0:42:22extreme.I got picked to play for England. A letter came through the
0:42:22 > 0:42:26post, and I got a letter saying if you ever step foot on this Wembley
0:42:26 > 0:42:30pitch you will get one of these in your knees. We showed it to the
0:42:30 > 0:42:35boys. It wasn't going to stop me.A death threat shrugged off with the
0:42:35 > 0:42:41same ease he would see off a defender's challenge. He would
0:42:41 > 0:42:45eventually get the silverware his career deserved, with Coventry in
0:42:45 > 0:42:491987, the FA Cup. But his impact in football can't simply be measured in
0:42:49 > 0:42:55goals or trophies. His greatest triumph was what came afterwards,
0:42:55 > 0:42:59inspiring and paving the way for the next generation.I remember my uncle
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Cyrille, everyone so proud of what he was doing and the Strachey was
0:43:02 > 0:43:07making not just for himself and our family but for black people in
0:43:07 > 0:43:11England -- the strides that he was making. Sign without the strength of
0:43:11 > 0:43:17character he had, people like me would not have had the opportunity.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20--yes, without the strength of character he had.We will try and
0:43:20 > 0:43:27take on what he has taught us and inspire the next generation of
0:43:27 > 0:43:31footballers, black, white, orange, we don't care.Cyrille Regis open
0:43:31 > 0:43:37and closed mind and in the process open the door to a new era for
0:43:37 > 0:43:42others. His legacy will be seen on football pitches up and down the
0:43:42 > 0:43:46country on this and every weekend. He was an inspiration, an icon, a
0:43:46 > 0:43:51hero and a friend, and society, as much as football, should forever be
0:43:51 > 0:43:55grateful to them.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59much as football, should forever be grateful to him.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04What a man. So sad he has gone. People paying tribute not just
0:44:04 > 0:44:08there, but throughout the week, of what an inspiration he has been to
0:44:08 > 0:44:12so many players, whatever generation.Yes, and I think it was
0:44:12 > 0:44:17put well better by those players, Brian Deane and so on, about exactly
0:44:17 > 0:44:22what Cyrille brought to the game. In my house he was like a god. I
0:44:22 > 0:44:28obviously didn't really get to see much of his era but my parents, my
0:44:28 > 0:44:33mum and my dad, the always emphasised to me what Cyrille
0:44:33 > 0:44:37brought to the game to allow me to go and enjoy the game, basically,
0:44:37 > 0:44:43that I loved, with freedom, because that is what I got. I suppose what
0:44:43 > 0:44:47he went through as an experience was far beyond that but it was the level
0:44:47 > 0:44:50of class he did it with, and that was just one side. What an
0:44:50 > 0:44:54unbelievable football player as well. Seriously sad day, and I think
0:44:54 > 0:44:59you can see how emotional the people that were closer to him are.I find
0:44:59 > 0:45:05it amazing. What was alluded to the, the skill of the abuse he received,
0:45:05 > 0:45:09and yet not react to that, and sort of kill them with kindness, that is
0:45:09 > 0:45:15the mark of the man, isn't it?Which is not an easy thing to do.When
0:45:15 > 0:45:20people hate and are viable, the things through the post, not only to
0:45:20 > 0:45:24kind of kill them with kindness but to show I think the level of
0:45:24 > 0:45:28bravery, to step into that type of arena, face that type of adversity
0:45:28 > 0:45:35head on and deal with it, I mean, that is why everybody else behind,
0:45:35 > 0:45:39following Cyrille, says, OK, they can get a bullet through the post
0:45:39 > 0:45:43and step on that pitch in an England shirt I step out and do myself proud
0:45:43 > 0:45:48as well. Unbelievable.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52You came across at West Brom?He was my coach said two years. I signed
0:45:52 > 0:45:56for West Brom as a record signing and it was a bit of a burden on my
0:45:56 > 0:46:01shoulders at the time. I struggled initially to adapt and adjust.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Cyrille was there alongside me. You spoke about a burden, it might have
0:46:04 > 0:46:08been a burden on me but what I was feeling was nothing compared to what
0:46:08 > 0:46:13Cyrille felt when he played himself. He used to put his arm around me,
0:46:13 > 0:46:16honestly, firstly, his smile was the most infectious smile you could ever
0:46:16 > 0:46:21imagine. Just when he used to chat to you in a calm way, you would come
0:46:21 > 0:46:28away from Cyrille feeling ten feet tall, we just knew him as Big C, he
0:46:28 > 0:46:31was a great character and personality but what he meant to
0:46:31 > 0:46:35Midlands football in general, and particularly West Brom, wherever we
0:46:35 > 0:46:38would go or travel to, they did not want to see us, the modern-day
0:46:38 > 0:46:43birds, they wanted to speak to Cyrille and listen to his stories.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47Having all those rivals and be loved by everybody.How we could play for
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Wolves and West Brom and be loved by both, I don't know, Coventry and
0:46:50 > 0:46:54Aston Villa but I can't speak highly enough for what he did to me from a
0:46:54 > 0:46:57personal view. He was not a black coach to me, he was just a coach,
0:46:57 > 0:47:01that is all. He was great around the place, an amazing character.We saw
0:47:01 > 0:47:05Chris Hughton in the piece and this was the minute's applause before
0:47:05 > 0:47:08Brighton and Chelsea today, and it will happen at every game and the
0:47:08 > 0:47:11players will wear black armbands. Thank you for your beautiful
0:47:11 > 0:47:15tributes, both, I know he knew inspired you and you knew him Wright
0:47:15 > 0:47:21Chu-Young gripper germane. -- knew him in your young career, germane.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24John Motson is at the King Power Stadium today for Leicester's
0:47:24 > 0:47:25match with Watford.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28I know you, dated lots on Cyrille Regis write your career. It's been a
0:47:28 > 0:47:32tough week in Kaboul. What are your particular memories of him?Not just
0:47:32 > 0:47:38the memories of Cyrille, it is what they had to put up with in the 70s
0:47:38 > 0:47:43and 80s, the black players, when I was commentating. I won't go into
0:47:43 > 0:47:46detail but things were thrown, said enchanted, terrible abuse. I was
0:47:46 > 0:47:49once on a plane with the England team when John Barnes had scored a
0:47:49 > 0:47:52great goal and there was a far right group of people on the plane who
0:47:52 > 0:47:58were shouting down the aisles, "England only won 1-0 because we're
0:47:58 > 0:48:04not counting your goal". That was the kind of level it went to. This
0:48:04 > 0:48:08was the era Cyrille Regis came into along with Laurie Cunningham and
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Brendon Batson, the three degrees, as Ron Atkinson christen them at
0:48:11 > 0:48:18West Brom and that was a fine team, by the way. But Cyrille presented a
0:48:18 > 0:48:22lot of other players, Clyde Best at West Ham, one of the first place to
0:48:22 > 0:48:27receive series of abuse but Cyrille brought dignity and decency --
0:48:27 > 0:48:33decency to it as well as brilliant football. I can't top Adrian Chiles'
0:48:33 > 0:48:37words on his fine career, it was magnificent. I have to say, having
0:48:37 > 0:48:41thought about it this way, I think he was probably a pioneer, a
0:48:41 > 0:48:45vanguard in a movement which saw the black community, and we are not just
0:48:45 > 0:48:49talking football, by the way, get the state is they deserved in the
0:48:49 > 0:48:5570s and 80s. It was a social issue and he was right at the heart of it.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58I am at Leicester this morning, dang, and you won't mind me saying
0:48:58 > 0:49:05we have had a great hero passing in the week here, too, Rodney Fearn,
0:49:05 > 0:49:09played in the 1969 cup final for Leicester City against Manchester
0:49:09 > 0:49:14City. He passed away at the age of 69 so in addition to the sentiment
0:49:14 > 0:49:19that will be coming Cyrille Regis' way today, there will be a lot of
0:49:19 > 0:49:26people here at Leicester, the Foxes will remember a very fine player,
0:49:26 > 0:49:32Rodney Fearn.Thanks, John. Briefly on today, there will be a minute's
0:49:32 > 0:49:36applause today as well before the game. For Watford, only five points
0:49:36 > 0:49:39in their last 30 and it seems to have unravelled a bit since the boss
0:49:39 > 0:49:44was linked with the Everton job.I think you are absolutely spot on.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Let me tell you about Watford. They have a habit of changing the couch
0:49:48 > 0:49:55every year. When he came in, Marco Silva, OK, he had been at Hull City,
0:49:55 > 0:49:58I don't think that was the greatest achievement in the world, to be
0:49:58 > 0:50:02honest but Watford appointed him and he won the first three away games
0:50:02 > 0:50:07and everybody went, "Oh, we have got a good coach here", and he spoke
0:50:07 > 0:50:10English which the previous coach didn't and they were pleased with
0:50:10 > 0:50:15that. Then suddenly, along come Everton. Do you know what I been?
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Whether you blame Marco Silva for this or not, I don't know but it was
0:50:18 > 0:50:24a destruction. And Watford's form became more inconsistent after that
0:50:24 > 0:50:29incident. Now it is not for me to say what will happen. Watford may
0:50:29 > 0:50:34well get on a run which he badly needs by the way, to get out of this
0:50:34 > 0:50:38terrible one in ten record they have got at the moment in the Premier
0:50:38 > 0:50:43League. But I certainly think he could do with winning a few games
0:50:43 > 0:50:49because the family, the Pozzo family are great owners, they stay in the
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Premier League and change the manager again and again so he has
0:50:51 > 0:50:55got to be careful but it would help if Richarlison, the Brazilian who
0:50:55 > 0:50:59everybody says they want to sign, would get a goal, he has not scored
0:50:59 > 0:51:04since November, by the way. Anyway, just to say finally, Dan, I thought
0:51:04 > 0:51:07the tribute to Cyrille Regis was most appropriate and most deserved
0:51:07 > 0:51:12and I shall be joining in the minute of appreciation which will happen
0:51:12 > 0:51:17here along with all the other Premier League grounds today.John,
0:51:17 > 0:51:19wise words as ever. Great to hear.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22Well, Leicester and Watford can both look forward to FA Cup
0:51:22 > 0:51:23action next weekend.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26Our coverage of the fourth round begins on Friday night.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Huish Park sees League 2 Yeovil welcome Manchester United.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Jermaine Jenas will be there!
0:51:30 > 0:51:32On Saturday, Focus will come from Notts County
0:51:32 > 0:51:33ahead of their tie with Swansea.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Highlights of all the day's action later that night.
0:51:35 > 0:51:36And there's another live match
0:51:36 > 0:51:39for you on Sunday afternoon, as Cardiff take on Manchester City.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42It's the fourth round of the Cup in Scotland this weekend,
0:51:42 > 0:51:44and the big tie tomorrow sees Hearts host their Edinburgh
0:51:44 > 0:51:45rivals Hibernian.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48In the home dugout will be Craig Levein, who's been reflecting
0:51:48 > 0:51:54with Rob Maclean on a turbulent few years at Tynecastle.
0:52:00 > 0:52:04There's a new stand and a new sparkle at Tynecastle but it is
0:52:04 > 0:52:06probably worth reminding ourselves about the dark days of financial
0:52:06 > 0:52:12crisis for Hearts.Yeah, I think the supporters are very much aware of
0:52:12 > 0:52:16the recent history. I believe they were one day away from closing the
0:52:16 > 0:52:20doors.It's a great story because the bands effectively saved the club
0:52:20 > 0:52:25but they needed direction, supplied by the woman who is affectionately
0:52:25 > 0:52:32known now as the queen of Hearts, Ann Budge.She has managed to build
0:52:32 > 0:52:36the bridges that were burned down in the latter years of the previous
0:52:36 > 0:52:39administration. She is very unique. I've never dealt with anybody else
0:52:39 > 0:52:43like her in football. She does not always look at what is the best for
0:52:43 > 0:52:48her. She thinks about mainly what is best for Scottish football I think
0:52:48 > 0:52:51which is quite refreshing.She brought you back into the club. It's
0:52:51 > 0:52:53not a job for you because the club clearly has a big place in your
0:52:53 > 0:53:00heart.Coming back to Tynecastle has been a huge help. I'm excited by Ann
0:53:00 > 0:53:05Budge's enthusiasm. It is three and a half years now I have been back
0:53:05 > 0:53:08here. I have been really pleased with the way things have gone in
0:53:08 > 0:53:14general.You had great success with your first young head coach in
0:53:14 > 0:53:18Robbie Nielson, who is now at MK Dons. Does Ian Cathro go down as a
0:53:18 > 0:53:24failure?I don't like to use that word because you are talking about
0:53:24 > 0:53:28people and I think he's a very good coach. I think he will be a very
0:53:28 > 0:53:32good coach at another club. But I think this was a bit too early for
0:53:32 > 0:53:37him.Is it a strange situation now that the director of football is
0:53:37 > 0:53:42also the head coach?I have been a manager and director of football
0:53:42 > 0:53:46before Adam Dundee United so it is not alien to me. After Ian left, I
0:53:46 > 0:53:50felt that it was partly my responsibility that the club was
0:53:50 > 0:53:56where it was and I felt a real need to try to help and fix it.Harry
0:53:56 > 0:54:07Cochrane! The invincible 's are in big trouble at Tynecastle.Were even
0:54:07 > 0:54:11new surprised at Hearts 4-0 Celtic and the ending of that unbeaten
0:54:11 > 0:54:17domestic run for Brendan Rodgers and his team?It had to end! It was not
0:54:17 > 0:54:20going to last forever. A lot of circumstances went our way that day.
0:54:20 > 0:54:24The stadium itself, with the new stand, makes it feel even smaller.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Everything is right on top of you and it is so intimidating at times.
0:54:27 > 0:54:32I said beforehand, and I will say again, it will be a long old time
0:54:32 > 0:54:35before anybody manages to do something like that again in
0:54:35 > 0:54:38Scottish football.You are looking forward and hoping for a good result
0:54:38 > 0:54:43in the Scottish Cup against Hibs and Hearts have not had a win against
0:54:43 > 0:54:46your Edinburgh rivals in the last nine, I don't think.Absolutely,
0:54:46 > 0:54:53yeah! I mean, in my long career of playing for Hearts and managing them
0:54:53 > 0:54:57previously, I can count on one hand I think the time we have lost
0:54:57 > 0:55:03matches do Hibs said this is quite alien. Such a buzz going into it.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06I've never seen a match that just goes health leather for 90 minutes
0:55:06 > 0:55:10like this one does. -- Hell for leather. The players find extra
0:55:10 > 0:55:14energy from somewhere. The last game at Tynecastle was a whirlwind for me
0:55:14 > 0:55:18and I expect this one will be the same.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Great to see them moving in the right direction. Highlights of that
0:55:22 > 0:55:26on BBC One Scotland or night. We are currently on BBC Two Scotland
0:55:26 > 0:55:28because it is St Mirren against Aberdeen in the cup and Aberdeen
0:55:28 > 0:55:34approaching half-time, leading the game 3-1. Craig Levein we know is a
0:55:34 > 0:55:37former Scotland manager. It seems they are a bit closer to knowing who
0:55:37 > 0:55:41the next got manager will be. Seems to tick all the boxes, Michael
0:55:41 > 0:55:43O'Neill lives in Edinburgh, he sorted out the severance package
0:55:43 > 0:55:46with Northern Ireland and has been in talks with the SFA so it seems to
0:55:46 > 0:55:51be a matter of time.They targeted him almost immediately after the
0:55:51 > 0:55:53switch to the game that took Northern Ireland at and I should
0:55:53 > 0:55:57have taken into the World Cup in many respects. -- that should have
0:55:57 > 0:56:01taken them. It is a huge blow for the FA in Northern Ireland but as
0:56:01 > 0:56:05you say, just with family, living in Edinburgh, it might make sense
0:56:05 > 0:56:08logistically for him. But again, a huge blow for Northern Ireland.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12They've got a big rebuilding job to go through.Michael O'Neill
0:56:12 > 0:56:16potentially new Scotland manager. Wales seem to have found their man
0:56:16 > 0:56:19in Ryan Giggs. I don't know if you saw his press Conference this week,
0:56:19 > 0:56:22almost quite defensive because there's been some criticism of the
0:56:22 > 0:56:26fact he was not always present as Wales player and now he's trying to
0:56:26 > 0:56:29lead the team to a major championship. Can you understand
0:56:29 > 0:56:34some of that?It is always going to be thrown at him and I suppose that
0:56:34 > 0:56:38is the issue. People will talk about the inexperience of it being his
0:56:38 > 0:56:44first managerial job. I personally think it is the perfect job you
0:56:44 > 0:56:46don't have to deal with Sony other things that you do at club level,
0:56:46 > 0:56:49agents, fees, all of those complications like budget. He can
0:56:49 > 0:56:56watch the players that he needs and go and watch them in depth and get
0:56:56 > 0:56:59exactly what he wants. I think it is a good appointment, I really do but
0:56:59 > 0:57:02it will be interesting to see how he gets on. Hopefully all that stuff
0:57:02 > 0:57:09will go away.We must also send our best wishes to Plymouth's Brian
0:57:09 > 0:57:13Entwistle, 24-year-old defender who had surgery for testicular cancer,
0:57:13 > 0:57:16Ryan, we wish you the best with your recovery.
0:57:16 > 0:57:17That's all for today.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Thanks very much to Jermaine and Kevin.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22Remember we're back at 12 next Saturday, live from Notts County.
0:57:22 > 0:57:23We'll leave you with the predictions
0:57:23 > 0:57:26of Pete Wentz from US band Fall Out Boy, whose new album
0:57:26 > 0:57:27Mania is out now.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30And apart from being an ace of bass, he also co-owns US soccer team
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Phoenix Rising with Didier Drogba.
0:57:32 > 0:57:33Or should that be Dro-egba?
0:57:33 > 0:57:34Goodbye.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38# I need to come down
0:57:38 > 0:57:42# An-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nother day goes by
0:57:42 > 0:57:45# So hold me tight
0:57:45 > 0:57:48# Hold me tight, or don't...#
0:57:48 > 0:57:52I only really follow football super hard-core during the World Cup.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55But maybe not this World Cup!
0:57:55 > 0:57:59Sometimes late at night, I'll watch, like, YouTubes of, like, Messi,
0:57:59 > 0:58:02like, where he just goes down the whole field and just, like,
0:58:02 > 0:58:05embarrasses everybody or whatever.
0:58:05 > 0:58:13It's kind of like mesmerising to watch that kind of thing.
0:58:14 > 0:58:18When I was little, it was Alexi from the US team and now it is Tim
0:58:18 > 0:58:21Howard. I love him.
0:58:21 > 0:58:23Myself, Diplo and a few others own a soccer team
0:58:23 > 0:58:26in Phoenix, Arizona.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29But yeah, we've got Dro-egba, who plays as a player owner as well,
0:58:29 > 0:58:31which is pretty cool.
0:58:31 > 0:58:34I think that that's an interesting way to own a team, to be
0:58:34 > 0:58:36like the guy who is, like, "I can literally change
0:58:36 > 0:58:38the fate of the team".
0:58:38 > 0:58:40Burnley?
0:58:40 > 0:58:41Yeah. Burnley.
0:58:41 > 0:58:43I knew that one.
0:58:43 > 0:58:462-0.
0:58:52 > 0:58:54Everton, 1-0, in penalty kicks!
0:58:54 > 0:58:59LAUGHTER. That is so stupid to say!
