It absolutely brilliant. This is getting better and better.

:00:17.:00:37.

He has done it! Welcome to the final weekend of the Premier League

:00:38.:00:51.

season. We have loads to pack it in. He's been a menace to defenders all

:00:52.:00:58.

season, no Hazard warns they are not finished. After the game we can win

:00:59.:01:07.

the double. He won the Champions League with Manchester United and

:01:08.:01:12.

Ajax, so who does he fancied for the Europa League? My full focus is on

:01:13.:01:21.

winning with Ajax. It was the great escape for Swansea. What is it all

:01:22.:01:28.

about, Alfie? I was in the Conference so then I was celebrating

:01:29.:01:36.

with World Cup winners. Jack Butland is back. Can they be the new

:01:37.:01:40.

invincible is? Celtic are a match away from a special season. It would

:01:41.:01:44.

be a remarkable achievement or any football club. We will hear from

:01:45.:01:50.

Millwall as they prepare for the play-offs. We will get the latest

:01:51.:01:56.

from Arsenal. Here we go. The final ten games of the Premier League

:01:57.:02:02.

season. They are at 3pm tomorrow. We know that teams going down. This

:02:03.:02:07.

weekend is about who will play in those final champion -- Champions

:02:08.:02:14.

League spots. We will look at that later. But we start with Chelsea.

:02:15.:02:25.

This is a big night because we won the title. Chelsea, champions, 2017.

:02:26.:02:36.

We have to appreciate how hard it is to win. This is what I would have

:02:37.:02:42.

wanted from life. It is Watford tonight but they stand

:02:43.:02:55.

for the rest of the Premier League with a mark of respect to the team

:02:56.:02:58.

that has bettered all of them this season. It has gone in. The captain

:02:59.:03:09.

has got his goal. He is gifted a call to Watford. Would you believe

:03:10.:03:16.

it? One minute later, made the mistake and let him in. It was

:03:17.:03:26.

deflected and is 3-1 to Chelsea. Janmaat is in and that is a terrific

:03:27.:03:45.

goal. Okaka has levelled for Chelsea. Chelsea win another one!

:03:46.:03:55.

Cesc Fabregas whether crowding -- with the crowning moment. The most

:03:56.:04:01.

important thing is that we won. Now we can set a target to win 30 games.

:04:02.:04:09.

Another good night at Stamford Bridge. The day after that game we

:04:10.:04:20.

heard Walter Mazzari was leaving Watford. I suppose it's not a

:04:21.:04:27.

surprise. Eighth managerial change in five years. They actually gave

:04:28.:04:30.

him a three-year contract so it looks like they are bucking the

:04:31.:04:36.

trend... There are factors. He struggled with the language which is

:04:37.:04:41.

a problem, obviously, not just perception, I mean for the lads

:04:42.:04:45.

playing there. Also, the style of football, I've done a lot of shows

:04:46.:04:50.

where they said we cannot watch what we are paying to watch. There's a

:04:51.:04:54.

fine line between staying in the Premier League, getting results, and

:04:55.:04:59.

playing what the fans want. Every Watford fan I've heard talking about

:05:00.:05:04.

it is grateful to the orders and thankful for the position they've

:05:05.:05:06.

got the men. They are not against them. Dropping Troy Dini is

:05:07.:05:14.

interesting. He has not had a go at the managers. But that is important.

:05:15.:05:24.

Very important. The good thing about him is he's a man that will say

:05:25.:05:28.

things to your face. There's a disagreement. He the type of person

:05:29.:05:37.

who will have it out with you and then. It is not a situation where he

:05:38.:05:42.

will think Troy Dini is getting the players against me. He's not that

:05:43.:05:47.

guy. He's a leader. That's the beauty of having someone like that.

:05:48.:05:59.

The breakdown is the language breakdown.

:06:00.:06:11.

Marco dee-10-mac is the favourite to take over. Would that be good for

:06:12.:06:23.

you? -- Marco Silva. You cannot walk into Watford and change them

:06:24.:06:26.

overnight and make them a free-flowing football side. You've

:06:27.:06:30.

got to get realistic. It is Watford. They should be thankful they are in

:06:31.:06:34.

the Premier League and I think the majority of fans are. The style will

:06:35.:06:39.

change. From a Chelsea perspective, it has been a far more relaxed week.

:06:40.:06:46.

Eden Hazard got the chance to change the tyre on a Formula 1 car. After

:06:47.:06:57.

that, he sat down with a reporter. Chelsea fans rise, into the box,

:06:58.:07:02.

brilliant. You've been a standout player this season. What drives you

:07:03.:07:07.

to keep going? I don't think it is just me, the whole team, all the

:07:08.:07:13.

players, they have been fantastic. We won a lot of games. I think we

:07:14.:07:21.

deserved to win this title. We have one more game and the FA Cup final

:07:22.:07:31.

to play. It was such a big transformation from going solo down

:07:32.:07:34.

in the table to being champions but essentially it is the same group of

:07:35.:07:38.

players. What do you think was missing ingredient? That is

:07:39.:07:44.

football. Two years ago we won the league. Last season was difficult

:07:45.:07:51.

for some of the reasons. Motivation is not top. Fitness is not top. A

:07:52.:08:02.

lot of things. We started the season well and we won the league. Next

:08:03.:08:08.

season, we will be in trouble if we don't work hard as we did this

:08:09.:08:13.

season. We have to be ready every year to be on the top. You won the

:08:14.:08:19.

league so congratulations. How did you celebrate? We cannot celebrate a

:08:20.:08:24.

lot because we have the FA Cup final. We've got to be ready for

:08:25.:08:28.

that. After West Brom we did party together. It was good to see the

:08:29.:08:39.

smile on the face and I hope on the 28th we can, after the game, win the

:08:40.:08:48.

double. We shall hear more from Eden Hazard next week ahead of the cup

:08:49.:08:53.

final. We are going to start talking about the man who scored his first

:08:54.:08:56.

goal of the season on Monday night. John Terry. It is an interesting

:08:57.:09:03.

debate about great Premier League defenders. Is he the best we've

:09:04.:09:09.

seen? I don't know if it is an interesting debate. He is either one

:09:10.:09:13.

or two Mac. For me, it depends where you stand. Rio Ferdinand was a ball

:09:14.:09:23.

he caused problems. John Terry was good on the ball and he was a

:09:24.:09:29.

warrior. I would say he's been the best. Would you go for that? You can

:09:30.:09:36.

choose either of them, they've been remarkable. What I love about John,

:09:37.:09:41.

even this season when he's not been playing, and he could have got

:09:42.:09:47.

frustrated, he kept his leadership qualities, kept his counsel, he was

:09:48.:09:55.

open to the lads, in the semifinal, players ahead of him, it was a big

:09:56.:10:02.

call. Squad player. Absolutely scary, balls like the other night,

:10:03.:10:08.

Gary Cahill and him have been scoring goals like that during their

:10:09.:10:13.

careers. 61 goals is scary for a centre-half. It will be interesting

:10:14.:10:17.

to see what happens next season. Lots of clubs would like to see him.

:10:18.:10:22.

We look to John Terry. He's got one this season. The man at the top with

:10:23.:10:31.

26 is Harry Kane. 29 appearances and 26 goals. So impressive. It is

:10:32.:10:35.

unbelievable. When you consider the amount of time out injured, he hit

:10:36.:10:41.

the ground running when he came back. To be setting top of the

:10:42.:10:55.

charts, is absolutely brilliant. He had the bit between his teeth in

:10:56.:11:00.

this one. I think he looked at the centre halves and he thought they

:11:01.:11:03.

were not the strongest, there are goals for me. This is him hungry to

:11:04.:11:12.

get on the end of it. There was a warning to pass the ball to him.

:11:13.:11:18.

This is the one I like. People talk about scoring goals. These Grissom

:11:19.:11:22.

from all over the place. If you highlight this area, this is the

:11:23.:11:27.

width of the goal. This is where the best strikers in the world will

:11:28.:11:32.

score goals. No matter where the ball is getting moved to, he stays

:11:33.:11:39.

within the goalposts. He is still within the specs when it comes to

:11:40.:11:45.

him, it is not a coincidence that he is on the end of it to stick it into

:11:46.:11:49.

the back of the net. The other goals are brilliant. His finishing is

:11:50.:11:58.

remarkable. This shot hit three players. His technique on his

:11:59.:12:06.

finishing, he can do the powerful one, the site through, what I love

:12:07.:12:10.

about him is his mental strength. To actually go a lot of games without

:12:11.:12:17.

goals, to come back and keep working the way he does, for such a young

:12:18.:12:27.

guy. It does mean a lot. 25 years ago he scored a hat-trick on the

:12:28.:12:32.

final day of the season, Ian Wright, to the golden boot. Romelu Lukaku

:12:33.:12:39.

will be looking at those schools and thinking, I've got to go again.

:12:40.:12:49.

Strikers are driven by goals. That's why you hear about that. He was

:12:50.:13:05.

delighted to shut down the swansong. We saw the Chelsea title

:13:06.:13:09.

celebrations at West Brom. This is how you take things up a notch. Look

:13:10.:13:19.

at this in the dressing room. You can imagine somebody from the

:13:20.:13:21.

insurance company with their head in their hands but everything was fine.

:13:22.:13:26.

I could have done with that in my last season as a player. Chelsea and

:13:27.:13:39.

Spurs are in the Champions League spots but who else will join them?

:13:40.:13:47.

If they get a point then Arsenal will miss out on Champions League

:13:48.:13:54.

football for the first time in 20 years.

:13:55.:14:04.

Jesus at the front post gives Manchester City the opening goal.

:14:05.:14:16.

Super finish. Manchester City have two Mac goals in the space of two

:14:17.:14:18.

Mac minutes. Almost into his own net. Arsenal

:14:19.:14:37.

need to wake up. He's given an indirect free kick. That is like a

:14:38.:14:48.

queue at the bus stop. He heads it over the bar. Not the worst idea. He

:14:49.:14:56.

slides that through. Did really well. Then Arsenal again. Looking

:14:57.:15:20.

again. Sanchez! Of course it is him. Another three opportunities to

:15:21.:15:23.

further increase their lead. They've worked their way through. Carved

:15:24.:15:27.

open the defence. Yaya Toure walked through.

:15:28.:15:39.

Guided the ball into the bottom corner. The whole of the Etihad. And

:15:40.:15:47.

Pablo Zabaleta gets a wonderful ovation.

:15:48.:15:58.

It's over Pickford. Olivier Giroud! What a save. To get his second of

:15:59.:16:03.

the night. To seal the three points for Arsenal.

:16:04.:16:08.

Arsenal get the win they want and the win they need to keep up the

:16:09.:16:11.

chase for the Champions League football. They start the final day a

:16:12.:16:16.

point behind Liverpool. At the moment we have 72.

:16:17.:16:20.

We want to give everything, to get to 75.

:16:21.:16:28.

It's over the cross. Tucked away. And Manchester City have beaten West

:16:29.:16:33.

Bromwich Albion by 3-1. Manchester City have their destiny

:16:34.:16:37.

in their hands. It's the best thing you can say. To

:16:38.:16:42.

arrive in the last days. I want to win.

:16:43.:16:49.

It's going to be a dramatic final day. Let's see how it is set up.

:16:50.:16:53.

Three clubs separated by three points. It could be interesting in

:16:54.:16:57.

terms of goal difference. Five goals separating them. So there is a

:16:58.:17:02.

scenario where there could be a play-off for the fourth Champions

:17:03.:17:06.

League spot. But if Manchester City and Liverpool do what they need to

:17:07.:17:10.

do, they are in the strong position with Arsenal chasing them? Yes.

:17:11.:17:18.

Middlesbrough, they have struggled against the Leicester teams.

:17:19.:17:25.

City at Watford? That is tricky as Watford produced some performances

:17:26.:17:28.

against the bigger teams. Arsenal, Manchester United. They are capable

:17:29.:17:32.

but they have been poor recently. With what is at stake, City could

:17:33.:17:37.

turn them over. Arsenal are hoping for a miracle. Definitely. There was

:17:38.:17:41.

a game the other night, there was that much on the line, there was

:17:42.:17:47.

only one winner. When Chelsea went to West Brom. Chelsea punt a hell of

:17:48.:17:51.

a fight. There is something similar this weekend. It is nervy but they

:17:52.:17:57.

have way too much. Anfield with the players at their disposal, what is

:17:58.:18:01.

there in front, how hard that they have worked. I expect them to cement

:18:02.:18:08.

the places. An article this morning, Carry on

:18:09.:18:13.

Wenger, talking about him staying at the club, as the director of

:18:14.:18:18.

football. Talking about the buy-out, and after the Cup final a discussion

:18:19.:18:23.

about what happens to Wenger. Throwing in Ozil and Sanchez it is a

:18:24.:18:28.

really important week? It is. But they are not the only club. There

:18:29.:18:32.

are a lot of clubs with a lot of work to do in the summer, whether it

:18:33.:18:38.

be manage managers, players, being poached. But Arsenal, it has been

:18:39.:18:43.

like that all year. Some people call it a lot of work to do but I think

:18:44.:18:49.

that the fans think it will settle the uncertainty and send them into

:18:50.:18:53.

next season with a clearer frame of mind. It has been a hard slog for

:18:54.:18:57.

the Arsenal fans. Do you expect to see him sat in the

:18:58.:19:03.

dugout at The Emirates? No, I don't. You think he will leave like that.

:19:04.:19:08.

I think he has given himself a get out.

:19:09.:19:12.

If they lose the final and not get into the top four, the fans are

:19:13.:19:16.

unhappy. But that is polite. They are fuming. If they don't win the

:19:17.:19:23.

cup, they will start next season on the back foot in terms of support

:19:24.:19:27.

against him. That is not helpful. Take that away and the recruitment

:19:28.:19:31.

and the players that they have bought has not been good enough.

:19:32.:19:35.

That is his decision. He runs the whole ship it is time for a change.

:19:36.:19:39.

They're not going win the league. They need to mix it up.

:19:40.:19:45.

You have spoken about diving. Successful deception of the match

:19:46.:19:50.

official. Talk about a Monday panel to look at incidents like this to

:19:51.:19:55.

give a retrospective ban. Is it is step forward? Sam Allardyce is not

:19:56.:20:01.

happy. I think it is great decision, as long as the people on the panel

:20:02.:20:06.

are competent. Not just box tickers. They must be reputable people.

:20:07.:20:12.

An ex-match official, ex-manager and ex-player.

:20:13.:20:17.

That is a broad spectrum. Somebody playing in the top flight is better.

:20:18.:20:24.

To you want the job? Notes. But I think it is crucial. You will

:20:25.:20:28.

never get rid of it completely. There will be a few where you go

:20:29.:20:33.

"not sure" but not many. Will it make players think twice

:20:34.:20:38.

about it? Yeah. That is why it is brilliant it is brought in. But what

:20:39.:20:45.

about the FA Cup final where if a player dye, they win a penalty and

:20:46.:20:49.

win the Cup and he gets a three-match ban.

:20:50.:20:54.

Well, they have lifted the Cup. They can't take the Cup away. As much as

:20:55.:20:59.

it is progression and good. The team are still getting punished. That is

:21:00.:21:03.

where it will hurt. It will not keep everybody happy.

:21:04.:21:07.

There is another route to the Champions League. That is winning

:21:08.:21:14.

the Europa League. Manchester United face Ajax. Who better to chase this

:21:15.:21:20.

up than Edwin van der Sar. He is now the chief expect at the

:21:21.:21:25.

Dutch club. Two clubs close to my heart is Ajax

:21:26.:21:30.

and after that it is Manchester United. There are a couple of great

:21:31.:21:37.

experiences in life. In 95, winning the Champions League. A fantastic

:21:38.:21:40.

end to my career. Winning four titles in the Champions League.

:21:41.:21:47.

I don't have a foot in both sides. I'm responsible for Ajax. The sole

:21:48.:21:52.

concentration and focus is on winning with Ajax. On Wednesday the

:21:53.:22:00.

4th, there is only one winner. -- on Wednesday the 24th.

:22:01.:22:06.

There has been success in the '70s. And in the '80s and the '90s where I

:22:07.:22:12.

was there myself. It has taken 21 years to reach the final. A long

:22:13.:22:18.

time for a club as big as Ajax. Many young fans have never seen Ajax in

:22:19.:22:24.

this final. It's a long time ago. The fans are

:22:25.:22:29.

really believing in Ajax and knowing that with the trophies we have won

:22:30.:22:33.

in the past, we have the possibility to win them in the near future,

:22:34.:22:41.

Wednesday, again. The main thing is for Ajax, the newness in the club.

:22:42.:22:45.

The developing players, young players, the exciting players.

:22:46.:22:50.

And the biggest plus for this year, it comes to Ajax. Manchester United

:22:51.:22:54.

are through to the Europa League Cup. We have been in the final in

:22:55.:23:03.

2009 against Barcelona and 2011, in the final. Now it is six years since

:23:04.:23:09.

they have been in the final. The club is big. Of course, they need to

:23:10.:23:14.

play more often in the European finals. But they are there now in

:23:15.:23:19.

what seems to be a difficult season. They still value a chance to make

:23:20.:23:28.

themselves shine. Their quality of managers like Sir Alex Ferguson.

:23:29.:23:32.

Being there for 26 years he got the club in a way he wanted. We will

:23:33.:23:38.

never see that again. They have had three different managers in five

:23:39.:23:41.

years. It is difficult for a group of players. They have not created

:23:42.:23:50.

the solid base to build on. At Ajax you have to reconfirm that

:23:51.:23:54.

we are back at the European front. That we want to achieve things

:23:55.:23:58.

against not only in Holland but Europe. Then it is important for us

:23:59.:24:04.

to get our hands on the touch. For Manchester United they want to make

:24:05.:24:08.

it a good season. They also need to win. Otherwise it is difficult for

:24:09.:24:16.

them to take the next step. Great to hear from Edwin van der

:24:17.:24:23.

Sar. You saw the pictures of Dennis Bergkamp and they are not scared to

:24:24.:24:28.

bring in the greats from the club's past. No-one is threatened by them.

:24:29.:24:34.

It is genius. It baffles me why more clubs don't do it. I suppose that

:24:35.:24:38.

they need the willingness from the ex-players. We are talking about

:24:39.:24:43.

greats. That they could be happy playing golf, sitting on a beach but

:24:44.:24:48.

they have the hunger to give back to their clubs that they started at.

:24:49.:24:53.

What that must be like for the younger players, stood there,

:24:54.:24:56.

watching Dennis Bergkamp educating them on the game, it is probably a

:24:57.:25:00.

big part of the reason that they are in this final.

:25:01.:25:05.

They are a very young side. On the Manchester United side of things,

:25:06.:25:09.

Danny, if they win the Europa League, is it a great season,

:25:10.:25:15.

brilliant, for Jose Mourinho? Winning the two trophies would be a

:25:16.:25:19.

fantastic season. Looking at it like that. In terms of what Manchester

:25:20.:25:24.

United are expected to be which is competitors in the Premier League

:25:25.:25:27.

and Champions League but you can only down one thing at a time. I

:25:28.:25:30.

think that they have progressed well in the terms of the way that they

:25:31.:25:35.

played. The squad is healthy. They have had a lot of games but they

:25:36.:25:41.

have been unlucky. It hurts me to say it, the games that were drawn at

:25:42.:25:47.

home... The six, seven games at home, they murdered them. The away

:25:48.:25:55.

form has been great. I think next season they will be challenging.

:25:56.:26:01.

Jose Mourinho has been complaining about fixtures and challenging. In

:26:02.:26:09.

this final ahead of De Gea, he is one of the best goal keepers in the

:26:10.:26:15.

world and you don't play him in a game that could secure Champions

:26:16.:26:20.

League football? It tells you how much he rates Ramiro himself as a

:26:21.:26:26.

manager. It is him that has got him to the point playing in the Europa

:26:27.:26:31.

League. It is not a great call for me. I think that De Gea has been

:26:32.:26:40.

good. But Romiro has been good. He played in the World Cup final. He is

:26:41.:26:46.

not a kid. How can you drop him if you played him every game.

:26:47.:26:53.

You were there with Fulham, an amazing run to the final. When you

:26:54.:26:59.

look at that, the memories come up, you think I was the captain that

:27:00.:27:03.

night. Was there an opportunity missed? Or did you lose to the

:27:04.:27:07.

better side? There was not much in it. Probably the biggest

:27:08.:27:13.

disappointment I have ever had. If we had done it would have been

:27:14.:27:18.

remarkable for the side. Talking about fixture congestion, we had an

:27:19.:27:22.

ageing squad. Even against Liverpool, we won the treble. We

:27:23.:27:28.

played over 60 games. So come on. Stop whingeing. Win the game.

:27:29.:27:34.

Everyone will say well done. They are the biggest squad. One of

:27:35.:27:40.

the biggest. They can put out the genuine quality. I agree with

:27:41.:27:43.

Murphy. There is no need for the mooning.

:27:44.:27:47.

The live coverage for the Europa League final is at 7.45pm that is on

:27:48.:27:52.

Wednesday night. We heard from Edwin van der Sar, now to a keeper

:27:53.:28:00.

returning from injury, Stoke City's Jack Buckland. He has been telling

:28:01.:28:11.

Rachel about his annus horibilis. They are calling for the stretcher.

:28:12.:28:17.

That is really disappointing. Although it was a friendly, probably

:28:18.:28:21.

the biggest game of my career so far. It was just a cocktail of

:28:22.:28:26.

emotions, so be honest. Yeah. Started the game well. Then the most

:28:27.:28:32.

innoccuous thing. I tried to sprint for a through-ball, that is where it

:28:33.:28:36.

all started. It was then that we realised that I

:28:37.:28:42.

had a bone growth growing in my ankle joint which at that time

:28:43.:28:47.

compressed and sheered straight up my tibia.

:28:48.:28:50.

It wasn't meant to take as long as it did for you to come back. Talk us

:28:51.:28:57.

through your journey then as well. So, 26th of March is when I broke

:28:58.:29:02.

it. Three days later I had an operation in London to repair the

:29:03.:29:04.

fracture. It went fine? Fine. Three screws,

:29:05.:29:11.

all cleaned up, job done. Then the day before the first game of the

:29:12.:29:16.

season against Midlands, I landed awkwardly on it in training. I had

:29:17.:29:21.

the whole sensation all over again. Then a second operation on a tendon

:29:22.:29:26.

in my ankle, believed to be the cause of my latest pain. It turned

:29:27.:29:33.

out not to be true. Ultimately, the original surgery,

:29:34.:29:38.

back in March, the screws were not quite placed in the right area. They

:29:39.:29:42.

did not go through the stress fracture. The third operation on the

:29:43.:29:48.

12th of December to remove the two screws to replace them where they

:29:49.:29:52.

should have been originally, now all is well and finally back on the

:29:53.:29:55.

pitch again. What kept you going during the

:29:56.:30:01.

rehab? I knew I would play again. I knew I would be OK. There were a

:30:02.:30:06.

couple of soppy phone calls home. A few tough moments but it was mainly

:30:07.:30:10.

box sets for a long time. Come on, what were you watching?

:30:11.:30:18.

What does Jack Butland watch? Netflix is good.

:30:19.:30:23.

Designated Survivor. The #k7 missing.

:30:24.:30:27.

You were tweeting about it! We were hooked.

:30:28.:30:36.

What else have I been on? The new Prison Break. Not keen on.

:30:37.:30:42.

When you were injured, Gareth Southgate was appointed. What was

:30:43.:30:47.

your reaction? Really pleased with that.

:30:48.:30:51.

Brilliant. He is someone I that enjoy working with. He is great for

:30:52.:30:55.

the future of England. He knows the young players. He has worked with

:30:56.:31:00.

them before. There is no better person to bring the guys through

:31:01.:31:03.

especially with the experience he has had at international and club

:31:04.:31:08.

level. It's positive. He has also been through tough time, which we

:31:09.:31:11.

have as a country as well. So I think it could be a really good one.

:31:12.:31:20.

I guess the ambition was to be England number one playing every

:31:21.:31:25.

week. What is it now? Still the same. It is still all systems go. It

:31:26.:31:44.

has always been my target. Jack was speaking at the Kick It Out event.

:31:45.:31:54.

We were chatting about box sets in the studio. I can't believe you're

:31:55.:31:58.

only just catching up on Line Of Duty. Gareth Southgate has involved

:31:59.:32:03.

him in the England squad even though he's been injured. So he does not

:32:04.:32:08.

feel excluded. It is good management. He knows he's a top

:32:09.:32:17.

goalkeeper. He was so close when he broke his ankle. He had a dodgy

:32:18.:32:25.

tournament and I'm sure he would have been pushing him all the way.

:32:26.:32:34.

That will only lift his spirits. Quite a strong position for England

:32:35.:32:39.

in Gaul. There are a number of options. David Moyes has said this

:32:40.:32:48.

week that he can go. Is it too much? It is a lot. He's only had one half

:32:49.:32:53.

decent season. You've got to be careful judging goalkeepers who are

:32:54.:32:58.

playing behind a bad team. But he is a talented player. Jack Butland is

:32:59.:33:04.

the one. He can make that jersey his own. It is interesting, if there is

:33:05.:33:10.

movement from goalkeepers like David De Gea here, it could open up a

:33:11.:33:18.

merry-go-round of players moving to significant clubs in the Premier

:33:19.:33:22.

League. I think that could be the case. There are a number of clubs

:33:23.:33:27.

searching. I'm not sure Manchester City are 100% happy. Liverpool,

:33:28.:33:37.

maybe. I know that their keeper has had a good end to the season.

:33:38.:33:41.

Everton. You name it. There are a few that could be having a look

:33:42.:33:50.

around. To the bottom of the Premier League. The final relegation place

:33:51.:33:54.

was confirmed when Hull City were beaten by little Palace. Wild

:33:55.:33:59.

celebrations in Swansea had just about calmed down when we caught up

:34:00.:34:04.

with the defender. What a finish from Alfie Mawson! Can

:34:05.:34:23.

we rewind to the party you had going? It was mad, to be fair. When

:34:24.:34:29.

the first goal went in we went crazy. It's a tough one as a

:34:30.:34:40.

footballer. You never want to see a set of professional athletes get

:34:41.:34:45.

relegated but that is the game. It is a dog eat dog world. For Swansea

:34:46.:34:54.

it was a positive weekend. If you look at the back-end of our season

:34:55.:35:01.

it has been a totally different feel about the place, the way we've

:35:02.:35:04.

performed. If we can implement that next year, nobody will know what we

:35:05.:35:13.

can achieve. We see what happened as a building block, getting away from

:35:14.:35:23.

the relegation scrap. People look at the form since the manager came in

:35:24.:35:27.

and they would suggest you would not find yourself in that position

:35:28.:35:31.

again. He's been brilliant, he came in with a real planet he's not

:35:32.:35:37.

change that. People were not where they needed to be. If you're not on

:35:38.:35:50.

it you can get punished. You meet people and you want to see them do

:35:51.:35:54.

well but better than you think you can do.

:35:55.:36:02.

The one thing that launched you was the goal against Leicester. There

:36:03.:36:10.

was a celebration to go along with that, the shuffle. I was just happy

:36:11.:36:18.

about it. I got other of abuse for it but I'm not going to change. -- I

:36:19.:36:25.

got a bit. That will stay with me for a long time. It has been a crazy

:36:26.:36:32.

12 months for you. You're preparing for a play-off final. You got

:36:33.:36:41.

success with that. The journey is carrying on. Playing week in, week

:36:42.:36:49.

out, it has been incredible and credit to the hard work I've been

:36:50.:36:55.

putting in. You get the moments Bridger pinch yourself. Before that

:36:56.:37:02.

I was playing in the Conference and then I was celebrating that we had

:37:03.:37:09.

stayed up with World Cup winners. I'm very lucky to be in this

:37:10.:37:17.

position. Very confident young man. Since Paul Clement took over he led

:37:18.:37:28.

the way. The work they've done on the training pitch has helped.

:37:29.:37:34.

They've got protection. Sometimes with one manager, you get someone

:37:35.:37:41.

who understands you. And they help you. He's a good footballer. I think

:37:42.:37:46.

he is potentially a really good player. I was speaking to Gareth Ian

:37:47.:37:50.

is worth a couple of weeks back regarding him and he said he was

:37:51.:37:57.

close to quitting football. He lost confidence. Those things can happen.

:37:58.:38:03.

Now he's on a different level. He is back in the Premier League. First

:38:04.:38:07.

choice centre-half. He's getting better and better. Over the last few

:38:08.:38:12.

months there has been a lot of praise for town-3-mac. You were on

:38:13.:38:19.

the radio talking about Paul Clement and what he brought to the club and

:38:20.:38:24.

how he changed things -- praise for Marco Silva. If the Premier League

:38:25.:38:27.

had started when he took over then Swansea City would be eighth.

:38:28.:38:36.

Numbers will tell you one thing. Watching them will tell you another.

:38:37.:38:41.

There are games that you're going to lose but if you do the right things,

:38:42.:38:45.

the manager is implementing the right tactics and plan on the

:38:46.:38:50.

training pitch. The minute that Paul Clement took over you could see that

:38:51.:38:54.

he had a way of playing. They had that little drop but once he got

:38:55.:39:00.

them out of that it was testament to what he did. He also did a decent

:39:01.:39:09.

job at Derby. Be interesting to see if he can hold on to Gylfi

:39:10.:39:18.

Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente. He has unbelievable statistics.

:39:19.:39:23.

Technically brilliant. Always on the pitch. Not the quickest. I'm not

:39:24.:39:32.

sure they will be able to keep him. That will be one of four matches

:39:33.:39:35.

featured on the red button tomorrow. As we saw there, one year ago, Alfie

:39:36.:39:51.

Mawson was playing for Barnsley. They are back and playing Bradford.

:39:52.:39:55.

We have been to see the preparations. This was their fifth

:39:56.:40:08.

appearance in eight years. How did you process the disappointment of

:40:09.:40:21.

last season. Last year there was no expectation. It was almost a bonus

:40:22.:40:26.

getting to the final. We wanted to win at the turnaround was so quick

:40:27.:40:31.

last year, everybody was high as a kite. We did not really turn up on

:40:32.:40:44.

the day. I cannot get over how uncanny it is that you all started

:40:45.:40:49.

in non-league, that you all banged in the goals. Is there a

:40:50.:40:54.

characteristic that fit this football club. They brought me out

:40:55.:41:00.

of non-league and they took a chance on me. That opened it up for them to

:41:01.:41:04.

take another gamble and another gamble. I'm a goal-scorer and I will

:41:05.:41:12.

always score goals. Since you join from Halifax, 54 goals. Not bad for

:41:13.:41:17.

a guy that quit his job to go professional. Have you done your

:41:18.:41:24.

mouse or have you seen this that? It has been a good three years for me.

:41:25.:41:29.

I've enjoyed every minute and hopefully I will keep enjoying it.

:41:30.:41:41.

It is not a risk. It is a risk. You've got a job and you quit it to

:41:42.:41:48.

go into football. We had already been there. When you get the

:41:49.:41:53.

opportunity to take it again it is not a risk. We've been down there.

:41:54.:41:59.

Once you go down there you don't want to go back. You work 9-5 then

:42:00.:42:07.

you get up at 6am to go to work. Changing your lifestyle should give

:42:08.:42:10.

you the edge but you've got to have the right mentality. They work hard

:42:11.:42:22.

and that is keen. People want a reason as to why stuff happens but

:42:23.:42:33.

the honest answer is it just works. The FA Cup has been brilliant for

:42:34.:42:38.

us. During that run, the last-minute goals in both of them. We've got the

:42:39.:42:42.

spirit and we've got the bond in the group. We've got that mentality this

:42:43.:42:50.

year and we believe this could be our time. I've never spent as long

:42:51.:43:00.

in a goal as I have now. It is enormous. You cannot miss. What

:43:01.:43:04.

would it mean to you to get them back in the Championship? First and

:43:05.:43:10.

foremost I see it as my job to get the club promoted. I want to see the

:43:11.:43:18.

players succeed. They work hard. They do everything together as a

:43:19.:43:27.

group. It would be special for them. It would be special. They have a

:43:28.:43:33.

good cup run. It would be a good end to see them go up. It would. He has

:43:34.:43:38.

them working well. Had a good run in the cup and he was putting out his

:43:39.:43:45.

strongest side. Those strikers are good goal-scorers for him. With him

:43:46.:43:49.

coming from the same pedigree, he will be hoping he can do the same

:43:50.:44:06.

today. Championship play-off final, Fulham were highly fancied against

:44:07.:44:10.

Reading and Reading beat them. Huddersfield were favourites to go

:44:11.:44:14.

down and they've beaten Sheffield Wednesday. They are both one game

:44:15.:44:20.

from Premier League trouble. It is incredible, the Championship is the

:44:21.:44:23.

most unpredictable league. Every season somebody comes up you do not

:44:24.:44:28.

expect them to be there. Huddersfield deserve great credit.

:44:29.:44:31.

You look at them and you say, how have they got to this level? He said

:44:32.:44:35.

when he went in there he had to make a decision. He changed it overnight.

:44:36.:44:40.

He changed the training and the discipline and instead of doing it

:44:41.:44:45.

bit by bit he did it overnight. He seems a very bright man. I fancy

:44:46.:44:52.

him. I think it is meant to be the fairy tale ending. To Scotland.

:44:53.:45:02.

Celtic are a match away from being in the history books after they beat

:45:03.:45:08.

Partick Thistle. Rob McLean was there and can explain everything.

:45:09.:45:16.

Queen Victoria was the reigning monarch. Oxo cubes appeared in the

:45:17.:45:24.

shops. The year was 1899, the last time a

:45:25.:45:29.

top flight Scottish team went through a season unbeaten. Now,

:45:30.:45:35.

after a dominant campaign, Celtic have the chance to rewrite 180 years

:45:36.:45:41.

of history. Dembele! It's Patrick Roberts! It's

:45:42.:45:48.

brilliant. It's 3-0.

:45:49.:45:54.

Now two teams stand between Celtic and their quest for invincibility.

:45:55.:45:59.

Hearts on Sunday on the last day of the league season and tonight here

:46:00.:46:05.

on Fir Hill, Partick Thistle. Forest. Instant control from

:46:06.:46:10.

Roberts. And a dangerous looking challenge from Booth. He has given

:46:11.:46:17.

away a penalty. Lee Griffiths, scores Celtic 100th league goal of

:46:18.:46:20.

the season. It is easy to switch off at this

:46:21.:46:25.

stage. But there is never a question of switching off? No. The gaffer

:46:26.:46:32.

never let's us switch off. He always wants us to maintain the levels that

:46:33.:46:37.

are set. He has set a great standard this season.

:46:38.:46:41.

He is at the edge of the box. Griffiths casts the ball into the

:46:42.:46:46.

middle. It has gone in! They are a joy to work with. To see that

:46:47.:46:51.

relationship in the game, how they play in work and training to the

:46:52.:46:55.

game. It is very, very pleasing. It leavous satisfied. They know this is

:46:56.:47:00.

the beginning of how we are trying to work and hopefully we can

:47:01.:47:03.

continue. Forest is inside the box. Back it

:47:04.:47:11.

goes. Patrick Roberts thumped an unstoppable left-footer into the top

:47:12.:47:14.

corner! Does this feel like a special season? It is a special

:47:15.:47:19.

season. A special manager, a special bunch of lads. That are doing

:47:20.:47:23.

something unbelievable on and off the park. What the gaffer does, what

:47:24.:47:29.

he speaks about, setting the standards. We with will keep that

:47:30.:47:34.

through for the rest of the season. That was over the line! What would

:47:35.:47:43.

it mean to be The Invincibles to go through the season unbeaten? Well,

:47:44.:47:50.

some say it is easy but it would be phenomenal for us! Patrick Roberts.

:47:51.:48:00.

Sensational! It is 103 Premiership points and 104 Premiership goals.

:48:01.:48:03.

You are bearing down on another record? Yes, and the most wins for a

:48:04.:48:09.

season, which is 33. So we have a job to do. We want to finish the

:48:10.:48:14.

season on a high on Sunday. Hopefully play well. We have 60,000

:48:15.:48:18.

supporters we want to make happy. If we can do that and finish the season

:48:19.:48:26.

unbeaten, it will be a remarkable achievement and an era for the

:48:27.:48:30.

players, and I would applaud them. 44 points clear.

:48:31.:48:35.

Only Hearts stand in their way. We used a bit of Elgar's Nimrod

:48:36.:48:42.

there. If Celtic waned Aberdeen fail to

:48:43.:48:46.

win, they set the record for the biggest title winning margin in

:48:47.:48:54.

Europe. There is documentally to mark the

:48:55.:49:00.

anniversary on BBC One nexten Wednesday night.

:49:01.:49:04.

It would be a remarkable achievement if they do it.

:49:05.:49:10.

We heard from Jack Butland about how glad he is to be back from injury

:49:11.:49:15.

wows. Another man is somebody who has been

:49:16.:49:21.

out of the game since December. But hoping to be back jogging. Bolaise.

:49:22.:49:29.

Take us backs to the moment you sustained your injury? It was

:49:30.:49:35.

December. I think I got a shoulder injury when I plant my feet.

:49:36.:49:39.

Something that I do all the time. So to come out with a nasty injury. I

:49:40.:49:44.

shocked myself. As player, you don't think it will happen to you, being

:49:45.:49:49.

out long-term. I have coped with it well so far. But at times it gets

:49:50.:49:53.

frustrating. You stayed away from football. Why

:49:54.:49:57.

did you make that decision? Just to switch off. He to keep myself away

:49:58.:50:03.

from any sort of watching games live. I like going to watch the

:50:04.:50:10.

games live but I didn't want to get the feeling of trying to come back

:50:11.:50:13.

quick again. Have you gone back to watching games

:50:14.:50:20.

now? No. To be honest, the first game I went to was the last game of

:50:21.:50:25.

the season. It was good, to be fair. But straightaway, I knew, I missed

:50:26.:50:32.

playing. I missed playing. Saying that, I made the decision to stay

:50:33.:50:35.

away. Are there people who have had knee

:50:36.:50:40.

injuries, asking about your's, how you are recovering? There are lots

:50:41.:50:44.

of people that ask for guidance tonne what to do. I will try to put

:50:45.:50:49.

something together. Maybe a couple of friends at my stage of my injury

:50:50.:50:54.

and get them to work with me for two, three, four days and see what I

:50:55.:51:00.

am doing and carry it on. Social media rehab guidance? Yeah.

:51:01.:51:05.

Rehab guidance. Showing the fans what I am doing behind the scenes

:51:06.:51:09.

they may appreciate it. It may give them patience to wait for the best

:51:10.:51:13.

of me to come out when I come back as they know the work I've been

:51:14.:51:20.

putting in behind the scenes. Terrific delivery from Bolaise. When

:51:21.:51:25.

I look at what I was doing, when I was playing. I had four assists.

:51:26.:51:30.

That was up there the league. I created about nine big chances. That

:51:31.:51:42.

was the top. Just behind Le Gronje. What has Ronald Koeman been like to

:51:43.:51:47.

work with? He is a normal person, obviously very strict as well. If

:51:48.:51:52.

you are not doing it well, he will tell you how it is. As a player, you

:51:53.:51:58.

don't want somebody telling you are doing good but then next week you

:51:59.:52:02.

are out of the team as you have not been told the truth and you are

:52:03.:52:07.

unable to improve tonne. He has almost the perfect mindset to

:52:08.:52:11.

come back from injury. Thinking about it positively. Spending time

:52:12.:52:15.

with the players who have been through the same thing, hoping and

:52:16.:52:20.

trusting he will come back as good as before? He has had a positive

:52:21.:52:25.

mindset with such a horrific injuries. Everton have been great

:52:26.:52:30.

with him. He has been doing lots of social media with them and his own.

:52:31.:52:36.

The idea talking about integrating with fans with knee injuries,

:52:37.:52:39.

swapping information it is a great idea. What I get from speaking to

:52:40.:52:44.

him is how much he is missing it. Now he is talking about how much of

:52:45.:52:48.

a privilege it is just to run. He is starting to get to that jogging

:52:49.:52:52.

phase. He is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

:52:53.:52:59.

It is the dip, how far away it is, and then the anticipation as to when

:53:00.:53:04.

you come back. The big thing for Everton is Berkeley. Ronald Koeman

:53:05.:53:10.

saying if he is not confident, he will stay out? Looking ATCOman's

:53:11.:53:16.

history in the transfer, he has very, very good. He will have

:53:17.:53:21.

somebody in his mind if Berkeley goes. You think of Baines, there is

:53:22.:53:32.

a lot of stuff happening to Everton. It will be a busy summer. Lots of

:53:33.:53:37.

players coming and going. Now, who better than a band who love

:53:38.:53:53.

a sea gull... Ben Thatcher. I got off a plane and went down the

:53:54.:53:59.

parade and partied like an animal. It was great to see how excited the

:54:00.:54:04.

whole city was we were getting promoted and to see that the players

:54:05.:54:09.

were there on the stage just having a party it was brilliant. It has

:54:10.:54:13.

pulled the city together almost. We are all together supporting our

:54:14.:54:17.

club. You look at the background of the club to see where it came from,

:54:18.:54:22.

it is amazing to reach promotion it will be a great season. We're going

:54:23.:54:27.

to stand out and we're going to do it. We might even do a Leicester.

:54:28.:54:34.

Who knows?! It's going to be a great game. I reckon it will be a 1-1.

:54:35.:54:44.

We are going to see City destroy them, 4-1.

:54:45.:54:48.

:55:14.:55:20.

is done. The result's gone viral. He was not expecting the centre half

:55:21.:55:23.

to do that. That is so good. I would like to see

:55:24.:55:29.

that played again. Danny talk about it again? I think

:55:30.:55:33.

it is beautiful. It is poor! Poor decision. Poor technique. Why even

:55:34.:55:41.

try it?! The execution was magnificent.

:55:42.:55:46.

If he meant it. But he only has not. If you tuned in, you think it is a

:55:47.:55:51.

great goal. But have you ever scored an own goal? I don't think so.

:55:52.:55:57.

I don't think I Z Scored a few lucky ones.

Is everybody's phone turned to silent? Oh, no, that is me.

:57:05.:57:11.

What a schoolboy! Go I am in the middle of an interview.

:57:12.:57:17.

You can tell it when Garth is enjoying an interview, he starts

:57:18.:57:20.

was nice to get to that point and nice that he was there.

:58:01.:58:05.

Can we do the special hand-shake now.

:58:06.:58:11.

What a finish that is! It's a glorious goal from Eden Hazard.

:58:12.:58:17.

You're absolutely killing it. It's good, yeah?

:58:18.:58:27.

Compared to the real one, Jacob but good still... Out of ten? Five! Like

:58:28.:58:48.
