:02:20. > :02:22.service live at the Palace with their chairman Steve Parrish,
:02:23. > :02:25.and at the Hawthorns as well, where Sunderland will seek

:02:59. > :03:02.What is your favourite thing about living in the capital? The whole
:03:03. > :03:07.lifestyle here. I am happy in the club, happy in the area. I have been
:03:08. > :03:13.here for a long time, and my family is happy, and I give them a lot of
:03:14. > :03:18.credit, because to play well, you need to be happy. You were given the
:03:19. > :03:23.nickname Dave when you first arrived, who gave that to you and
:03:24. > :03:28.why? It was at an audience in the fans, one question was, if they
:03:29. > :03:36.could call me Dave. But I didn't imagine that that nickname would
:03:37. > :03:44.stay until now! What is Antonio Conte like? Since the first day, his
:03:45. > :03:50.first time in England, with the language, he tried to show us what
:03:51. > :03:55.he wanted. We trained hard, he was really passionate with his team, he
:03:56. > :03:59.always believed in us, so that is something he shows in every training
:04:00. > :04:02.session, every game. And since his arrival, you have gone from playing
:04:03. > :04:08.back four to back three, what has that transition be like? At the
:04:09. > :04:15.beginning it was a bit strange, because most of us, we never played
:04:16. > :04:19.in that system. He might have decided to change the formation
:04:20. > :04:23.because he saw that we needed that, and as soon as we changed formation,
:04:24. > :04:31.the results until now have been amazing. We have worked really hard
:04:32. > :04:36.and improved under that system, and it is something that we have to keep
:04:37. > :04:41.doing. COMMENTATOR: Knocked up towards
:04:42. > :04:45.Diego Costa, that is far too simple a golfer Chelsea to score!
:04:46. > :04:50.There were a lot of rumours about Diego Costa. How much are you
:04:51. > :04:57.looking forward to having him back in the squad? It is good to have him
:04:58. > :05:03.back. When he was suspended, we were able to win that game, but we need
:05:04. > :05:08.from everybody, the strength of the squad is really important because
:05:09. > :05:11.you want to play with the same players the whole season. The
:05:12. > :05:16.football world in general seems to be changing, the window is still
:05:17. > :05:19.open, and leagues like China and the US would target players at the end
:05:20. > :05:23.of their career, now they seem to be going for younger players who are at
:05:24. > :05:28.their peak. It is a new market that is coming out, they are targeting
:05:29. > :05:35.players, and it is up to the players to make their choices. I think
:05:36. > :05:41.everyone has different situations, so it is new opportunities for the
:05:42. > :05:44.players, new countries, so it is up to us to make the changes. You are
:05:45. > :05:48.one of the few players who has played every single minute this
:05:49. > :05:53.season, so you are clearly valued as a player and you are vital to the
:05:54. > :05:58.team. How does that make you feel? It makes me feel really happy and
:05:59. > :06:04.proud, because I want to help the team, and how is it to play every
:06:05. > :06:09.minute of the competition, that is something that I value a lot, and I
:06:10. > :06:15.want to keep doing that, be a part of the team, and I will be really
:06:16. > :06:19.happy if we can get a trophy at the end. As you can see from the
:06:20. > :06:26.statistics, he is Mr Pegg dependable. -- Mr dependable.
:06:27. > :06:30.Everybody was calling him Dave when you were in his team, we all know
:06:31. > :06:35.his name now. What this he bring to the side? He is always positive, a
:06:36. > :06:38.great professional, he works incredibly hard always on and off
:06:39. > :06:45.the pitch, he never complains about anything. When I was first there, he
:06:46. > :06:50.was in and out of the side, he just waited his turn, never went knocking
:06:51. > :06:54.on the door of the manager, at training every day he was 100%
:06:55. > :06:59.involved, giving everything all the time, and he is a manager's dream,
:07:00. > :07:03.he really is, and he has so much versatility, he can play in any
:07:04. > :07:07.position across the back, and he could probably play a bit further
:07:08. > :07:15.forward if you needed him to. He played as left-back when Mourinho
:07:16. > :07:27.came back to the Bridge, and he was exceptional. Doing his job and more.
:07:28. > :07:34.Even though Filipe Luis arrived. Yes, for 16 million, and he couldn't
:07:35. > :07:39.get into the side. And that was the winning team in the year who won the
:07:40. > :07:45.league, so to keep Filipe Luis out and bringing what he brought to the
:07:46. > :07:51.side, and now also bringing about calmness, but also that leadership
:07:52. > :07:56.to the team. What have you made of your old team this season? I want to
:07:57. > :08:02.ask you about the guy at the other end, and the way that Antonio Conte
:08:03. > :08:06.has dealt with the Costa situation. What does he bring, and how
:08:07. > :08:17.important is it that they get back the Costa that we have seen? First
:08:18. > :08:25.of all, Antonio Conte, magnificent. In the line of Mourinho, Ancelotti
:08:26. > :08:31.and all not, magnificent. In the beginning of the season, it was
:08:32. > :08:35.difficult, he changed it towards his way, gave them the opportunity to
:08:36. > :08:39.play in the four, changed it to a three where he is very comfortable.
:08:40. > :08:49.You can see it in his body language that he is more comfortable with
:08:50. > :08:52.that system. The Costa affect, you could see in their body language,
:08:53. > :09:04.they were fighting a little bit, on and off. Conte has persuaded him in
:09:05. > :09:11.a way, no, it is my way, and Costa started playing better. I think
:09:12. > :09:17.Costa is very important for Chelsea, and the odd game you won't miss him,
:09:18. > :09:25.but when you played ten games in a row, you will miss him. So Chelsea
:09:26. > :09:31.can't afford to let Costa go at this time of the season. And I think, how
:09:32. > :09:41.come Conte has done that is credit to him. If Chelsea lose Costa, you
:09:42. > :09:44.could argue that all would want to keep their chief striker fit, he is
:09:45. > :09:53.one of their few chances of staying up. Yes, his contribution to Hull
:09:54. > :09:57.was exceptional, this season he has been hampered a lot through injury,
:09:58. > :10:01.I think he is on three or four goals now, and it will be a big part for
:10:02. > :10:05.them to stay in the league, but the other key is keeping their good
:10:06. > :10:11.players, Snodgrass is someone who has been linked away from the club,
:10:12. > :10:15.Livermore has gone, and their problem is keeping hold of these
:10:16. > :10:22.players. Highlights of Chelsea against Hull
:10:23. > :10:28.and some of these other games are on Match Of The Day to 2. That's
:10:29. > :10:30.tomorrow. Liverpool are seven points behind
:10:31. > :10:33.the leaders and still juggling On Wednesday it was
:10:34. > :10:41.destination Devon. Plymouth Argyle welcome Liverpool to
:10:42. > :10:52.the theatre of greens. And it is Lucas who gets the goal. Can they
:10:53. > :11:01.respond? That is a good save. Getting away from Lucas, great
:11:02. > :11:08.chance at! Excellent defending. Daniel Sturridge, that was a good
:11:09. > :11:13.save. And a chance, and it hits the outside of the Liverpool post. It
:11:14. > :11:17.has given Liverpool a penalty. Saved by McCormick! Liverpool have
:11:18. > :11:21.survived a bit of a scare. So, the Reds progress
:11:22. > :11:24.rather than the Pilgrims. It's Swansea at Anfield
:11:25. > :11:36.today for Klopp's men, The first thing to tell you as far
:11:37. > :11:39.as Liverpool are concerned is that Philippe Coutinho start a Premier
:11:40. > :11:42.League game for the first time since November the 26th of last year after
:11:43. > :11:46.65 minutes in that cup win at Plymouth in the week. Jurgen Klopp's
:11:47. > :11:51.other change from Manchester United is the return to fitness of
:11:52. > :11:55.Nathaniel Clyne. Joel Matip who last year was cleared by Fiva to be back
:11:56. > :11:59.involved is among the substitutes. For Swansea, their boss Paul Clement
:12:00. > :12:04.was busy this week in the transfer market. He gives a debut to Martin
:12:05. > :12:11.Olsson and a second debut to Tom Carroll, who has now signed from
:12:12. > :12:16.Spurs. Luciana Narsingh misses out through injury, but Leroy Fer does
:12:17. > :12:20.start. This sees the best attacking the Premier League face the worst
:12:21. > :12:25.defence at Anfield, where Liverpool are unbeaten in 25 games.
:12:26. > :12:29.That is quite a record. This is the Liverpool line-up. They have so many
:12:30. > :12:34.attacking options, but in their last four games, they have scored two
:12:35. > :12:41.goals, so it was eight games before that. So they are missing Sadio
:12:42. > :12:46.Mane. It is a big factor for them to get Coutinho back. I don't think
:12:47. > :12:53.there is panic in Liverpool, because they have only scored two goals in
:12:54. > :12:59.four games. That happens in a season, you know? It is never going
:13:00. > :13:05.to go all the time very smoothly. But I think they were very happy to
:13:06. > :13:07.get Coutinho back, I think he is a very important factor in the
:13:08. > :13:13.Liverpool squad. Talking about the important factors, you will see the
:13:14. > :13:16.news about Steven Gerrard joining the Academy. Is this the future
:13:17. > :13:21.Liverpool manager being groomed through the system? I think so, yes.
:13:22. > :13:25.He has indicated very much that he wants to become a manager one day,
:13:26. > :13:30.and I think Liverpool are a club that are renowned for keeping their
:13:31. > :13:35.old boys in and around the club, use CX players watching, supporting, and
:13:36. > :13:38.Steven Gerrard is one of the greats of Liverpool Football Club, and it
:13:39. > :13:42.is great for the club to have him still there. And if Liverpool are
:13:43. > :13:46.good going that way, we know from the statistics of this season that
:13:47. > :13:53.Swansea have a few issues when a team are coming at them. 49 goals
:13:54. > :13:57.conceded in 21 games for Swansea. Only Barnsley have conceded more at
:13:58. > :14:02.this stage of a season. Paul Clement has a huge job on his hands just to
:14:03. > :14:10.solidify the defence. Clement has got a big job, but unfortunately,
:14:11. > :14:18.what Swansea has done wrong this year is letting Williams go, and not
:14:19. > :14:21.replacing him. With that experience. He was the captain, he was the one
:14:22. > :14:25.who would put people in the right place... He could have made a big
:14:26. > :14:33.difference? I think he would have helped it, big-time. 49 goals is a
:14:34. > :14:37.lot of goals. He was the leader, the captain, and that is what they are
:14:38. > :14:42.lacking. Clement said it, and the previous manager said the same thing
:14:43. > :14:46.about Swansea. So I think it is going to be a very tall order. I
:14:47. > :14:55.can't see Swansea getting a result there. Olsen is a good player, Tom
:14:56. > :14:59.Carroll has had limited experience in the Premier League. If I was a
:15:00. > :15:03.Swansea City fan, I would be concerned. Because you think they
:15:04. > :15:08.are preparing to go down? Possibly, yes. I disagree. If you look at
:15:09. > :15:15.Swansea, there is a certain kind of player that they go for. There is an
:15:16. > :15:22.identity at Swansea. Those are Swansea kind of players. Yes, I
:15:23. > :15:26.agree with you that they need a certain different kind of player now
:15:27. > :15:34.to get them out of the position that they are, but because of that
:15:35. > :15:38.identity, they look for the Tom Carroll, the Olsen. But they haven't
:15:39. > :15:44.played that way for quite some time. After Laudrup left, I think that was
:15:45. > :15:48.the way, and they haven't played that way for quite some time. They
:15:49. > :15:55.have tried to, but they haven't. That is why they are in the position
:15:56. > :16:00.that they are. The last two years, they have not produced those kind of
:16:01. > :16:04.performances of those two managers, but the identity is still the same.
:16:05. > :16:10.They still are trying to produce that kind of football.
:16:11. > :16:18.Did you always have chat like this in the dressing room? Yes, we had
:16:19. > :16:19.quite a few. Putting the world to rights.
:16:20. > :16:23.Peter Crouch scored 22 of his 99 Premier League goals with Liverpool.
:16:24. > :16:25.The Stoke striker could reach his century against
:16:26. > :16:38.Yes, I am six foot seven, no, I do not play basketball. I am so pleased
:16:39. > :16:49.we are having this chat. And there it is! Crouch is in the middle!
:16:50. > :16:58.Dramatic, brilliant. Peter Crouch's 99th Premier League goal. 99 Premier
:16:59. > :17:07.League goals, and your first goal for Stoke was against Manchester
:17:08. > :17:13.United? Yes, I would love to take it for my 100th goal, that would be
:17:14. > :17:20.great. And Manchester United would be a good yardstick? Yes, ever since
:17:21. > :17:29.we played at the club we always seem to get scalps at home. What was your
:17:30. > :17:33.best Premier League goal? Oh, I can remember some amazing feeling. I
:17:34. > :17:36.think the goal is scored for Tottenham to get us into the
:17:37. > :17:42.Champions League against Manchester City was an amazing feeling. Because
:17:43. > :17:46.of the significance? The significance, not because of the
:17:47. > :17:51.goal, it was a scrappy goal, but what a feeling to score that goal
:17:52. > :17:57.after. I think my hat-trick against Arsenal was up there. There was a
:17:58. > :18:01.scissor kick against Bolton for Liverpool, and the goal for Stoke
:18:02. > :18:07.against Manchester City was probably the best goal that I scored. Crouch
:18:08. > :18:13.crying for the spectacular. Oh, what a goal! Nine out of ten times they
:18:14. > :18:18.do not go anywhere near the goal, so to hit the top corner was the best
:18:19. > :18:24.goal I have scored. Perseverance has been the hallmark of your career.
:18:25. > :18:28.Yes, I have always felt that I was the second choice and I have had to
:18:29. > :18:32.force myself to be first choice. There always seems to be someone
:18:33. > :18:36.ready to replace me when the time comes and when that does happen it
:18:37. > :18:41.is frustrating. But you have got to work just as hard to get back in
:18:42. > :18:45.there. It is similar to my Stoke career at the moment. It has been
:18:46. > :18:49.hired not playing and watching the games and knowing you can have an
:18:50. > :18:52.impact. There were times when I looked at where my career was going
:18:53. > :18:57.and I was thinking, what is happening? I am not playing, where
:18:58. > :19:03.do I go next? Now I have been given this opportunity to play I am loving
:19:04. > :19:08.it even more so than before that period because now I know how much
:19:09. > :19:12.it means to me to play. You are 36 later on this month and you could be
:19:13. > :19:21.under this deal still be playing in the Premier League at 38. Of course,
:19:22. > :19:25.I spoke to the manager about it. I train every single day, I have not
:19:26. > :19:31.had too many injuries, I do not do anything differently to anyone who
:19:32. > :19:37.is 20 or 25. I still feel like I can play for a long time. Our manager
:19:38. > :19:42.played until I was 40, until he was 40, and he said I can do the same.
:19:43. > :19:48.Are you aware of how popular you are? You got a fantastic reception
:19:49. > :19:51.from the Liverpool fans when you came of before Christmas. What does
:19:52. > :19:58.that mean to you? It was quite emotional. I am in the city a lot
:19:59. > :20:02.and I know how people feel about my time at the club and it was a
:20:03. > :20:12.successful time at the club. It is very nice to get a reaction like
:20:13. > :20:17.that. When you get your 100th Premier League goal, will you
:20:18. > :20:22.resurrect the robot? I have had so many people say to me if you get the
:20:23. > :20:27.100th, you have got to do it and the pressure is taking its toll. You
:20:28. > :20:33.perform it with your usual balletic grace! Yes, that was half the reason
:20:34. > :20:40.people enjoyed it, because I was not that good at it! We talk about a
:20:41. > :20:45.fully paid-up member in the 100 club, Jimmy you got 127. Peter
:20:46. > :20:50.Crouch is one short of reaching the century. He is still playing. You
:20:51. > :20:55.retired at 36. How hard does it become when you reach that age? He
:20:56. > :21:02.is still clearly loving it. Well, yes, I was still loving it. It is
:21:03. > :21:10.different. It is harder, a lot harder. For me is specially it was
:21:11. > :21:17.because I needed the explosiveness. But for Peter it is a little bit
:21:18. > :21:24.different. He can work on the crosses, he holds. . He brings a lot
:21:25. > :21:33.more to the game, a lot more different things to the game than I
:21:34. > :21:40.needed. I needed my pace. He holds the ball up. The ball bounced off
:21:41. > :21:46.you! You did score the odd header. The odd header. He has been
:21:47. > :21:53.brilliant over the years and I think he can play a few more years. He
:21:54. > :21:57.wanted to sign him up on a longer contract because he could not face
:21:58. > :22:08.the fact of Peter Crouch playing for another team, the manager. What
:22:09. > :22:12.about sado Berahino? He is not much of it. He was sent away to get fit
:22:13. > :22:19.and he has come back and he is not fit. His head is all over the place.
:22:20. > :22:22.It must have been tough for the club and the player. Hopefully he will
:22:23. > :22:29.put it all behind him and he will get fit and he will add that pace
:22:30. > :22:33.and quality to Stoke. I am happy for him that he has put the West Brom
:22:34. > :22:38.factor behind him and he can concentrate on Stoke. He is a hell
:22:39. > :22:43.of a player, a hell of a striker. I think there is a lot more to come
:22:44. > :22:49.from him. He scores goals and we do not have that many of those at the
:22:50. > :22:54.moment. Mark Hughes will be hoping you are right. Let me give you an
:22:55. > :23:01.insight on to what these two have been like this morning. Mike, you
:23:02. > :23:07.think anyone in the top six can still win it. Jimmy is not
:23:08. > :23:11.convinced. Why do you think they can still win the title? Jose Mourinho
:23:12. > :23:16.would not be drawn on it. No, you know what he is like. He will not
:23:17. > :23:21.try to draw any more attention or pressure to Manchester United. They
:23:22. > :23:25.have so much pressure on them anyway because everyone expects them to be
:23:26. > :23:29.there or thereabouts each season. The start of the season has not been
:23:30. > :23:33.great, but since then they have gone on a great run. Last week they
:23:34. > :23:38.should have won the game against Liverpool. They have quality in the
:23:39. > :23:41.squad, Jose Mourinho is the manager and 17 games to go and they are
:23:42. > :23:48.still in the race. I still think they have a chance of winning it. He
:23:49. > :23:52.is dismissing you once again. I love Jose Mourinho, do not get me wrong.
:23:53. > :23:57.I think he is magnificent what he has done in the game also I think
:23:58. > :24:05.this is one step a little bit too far. 12 points from Chelsea, that
:24:06. > :24:08.means four games. 17 games to go. Leicester won the league last season
:24:09. > :24:18.and nobody expected that to happen. No, we did not, but they were
:24:19. > :24:27.winning. You now have to win four more games and Chelsea and I do not
:24:28. > :24:33.see Chelsea losing a lot of games. How they play, they do not give a
:24:34. > :24:41.lot of goals away. They are very happy to work from zero. They are
:24:42. > :24:52.based on that. Look, everything is possible. But very unlikely. I'm not
:24:53. > :25:00.sure if you agree or disagree. You can keep tabs on that
:25:01. > :25:03.and the rest of the three o'clock matches on Final Score with Jason,
:25:04. > :25:06.Sue Smith and Jason Gary's back from his winter
:25:07. > :25:09.break on MOTD tonight. Alan Shearer and Ruud Gullit can
:25:10. > :25:11.admire the tan first hand! And there's sure to be sunshine
:25:12. > :25:14.at the Australian Open - highlights of Jo Konta's match
:25:15. > :25:16.with Caroline Wozniacki Manchester City against Tottenham is
:25:17. > :25:19.sure to feature prominently tonight. The two sides had contrasting
:25:20. > :25:42.fortunes last weekend. Harry Kane, 1-0! Everton, one,
:25:43. > :25:47.Manchester United two. What a start to the second half for Everton. It
:25:48. > :25:55.is a mess of Manchester City boss Mark own making. Harry Kane in the
:25:56. > :26:04.middle! He beats Claudio Bravo and Everton have a 3-goal lead. A
:26:05. > :26:13.hat-trick. Extravagantly done. We can be the real contender for the
:26:14. > :26:23.Premier League. 4-0, Everton. City fans, look away now. Expectations
:26:24. > :26:26.were excessive, now it is a reality. There is a man who has got more
:26:27. > :26:31.problems than people thought he would at this stage of the season.
:26:32. > :26:37.Let's start with the goalkeeper. He said he was fairly criticise.
:26:38. > :26:43.Claudio Bravo, the statistics are backing things up. His ability to
:26:44. > :26:47.save shots, it is not what you expect at a team like Manchester
:26:48. > :26:53.City. He has got big shoes to fill in. He replaced Joe Hart. He has
:26:54. > :26:58.struggled to adapt to the Premier League. I see a different goalkeeper
:26:59. > :27:05.to the first one who arrived. Yes, he made the mistake, but he was much
:27:06. > :27:10.more confident. He demanded the ball. I see a player who is a lot
:27:11. > :27:14.deeper. He is not playing as much at the back and he has gone within his
:27:15. > :27:19.shell. The game against Everton, every time they shot on goal they
:27:20. > :27:24.were hitting the back of the net and he has struggled for form. He has
:27:25. > :27:31.conceded 14 in his last 22 shots on target. Sergio Aguero, I think Pep
:27:32. > :27:34.Guardiola is meeting with him in an Italian restaurant in Manchester
:27:35. > :27:40.because he has not scored against any of the sides in the top six so
:27:41. > :27:44.far this season. When we started and Pep Guardiola came to Manchester
:27:45. > :27:48.City, did you expect him at this stage of the season to be in the
:27:49. > :27:56.position he is in with quite so many concerns? No, I thought it would be
:27:57. > :28:02.a lot easier, but on the other hand the Premiership is full of
:28:03. > :28:07.surprises. It is totally different football than in Spain or in
:28:08. > :28:16.Germany. A lot of people need to settle. I think that's pep wants to
:28:17. > :28:22.bring his own philosophy through and it is taking a little bit longer
:28:23. > :28:27.than he thought it would. Or it is not as easy as he thought it would
:28:28. > :28:34.be. I still think that he is magnificent. And he will get it
:28:35. > :28:42.right? I think yes. Given the tools, yes. The only thing is, it is not a
:28:43. > :28:50.simple and as easy as the outside world thinks. Because he has won a
:28:51. > :28:57.lot and he is coming here with such a great CV, we are expecting
:28:58. > :29:04.straightaway something magnificent. They were dismantled last week by
:29:05. > :29:08.Everton. And Spurs, if he is struggling to get his philosophy and
:29:09. > :29:14.nine, Maurizio Pellegrino assaulted his team out. Do they have a chance
:29:15. > :29:18.this weekend? Yes, they will do the same thing that they did against
:29:19. > :29:23.Chelsea. They will put them under pressure all over the park.
:29:24. > :29:28.Everybody knows Manchester City want to play. Pep Guardiola is adamant.
:29:29. > :29:32.They will always play the same way and Mauricio Pochettino will have
:29:33. > :29:36.the Spurs team lined up and put them under pressure. John Stones has
:29:37. > :29:40.continued to make errors under pressure all over the park. That is
:29:41. > :29:47.happening because teams are not giving them the respect that maybe
:29:48. > :29:51.when he was in charge of buying or Barcelona that other teams gave. He
:29:52. > :29:56.was to control the game bible possession, that is what he wants.
:29:57. > :30:01.He needs the ball to control the whole game. But the tempo of the
:30:02. > :30:10.game in England is so much higher and the pressing is so much more.
:30:11. > :30:16.You can tackle more. The referee does not help you as much as they do
:30:17. > :30:25.on the continent. The second balls, there
:30:26. > :30:28.Learning on the job, I think it is safe to say.
:30:29. > :30:31.We'll turn our attention to the wrong end of the table.
:30:32. > :30:33.George Friend has been an integral part of Middlesbrough's line up
:30:34. > :30:53.First things first. Is it your Banjo or mandolin? I actually play the
:30:54. > :30:58.ukelele, you know. You don't? You are one of the only people outside
:30:59. > :31:04.my house that know that. Do you play it for the boys? No. It is funny
:31:05. > :31:10.where football takes you, or the way up here, and an unusual background,
:31:11. > :31:14.chicken and arable farming stock? Yes, earlier days in football, my
:31:15. > :31:16.dad used to send me off with eggs to give to the manager and the
:31:17. > :31:22.different players, and it has changed slightly now! I love where I
:31:23. > :31:26.come from. My family worked hard to enable me to play football, because
:31:27. > :31:29.there are not a lot of opportunities in North Devon, but there are some
:31:30. > :31:34.good coaches and clubs like Exeter where I started. Is it quite
:31:35. > :31:38.satisfying, having worked your way up and really earned it the hard
:31:39. > :31:41.way? I think so, but I don't think you should take it away from someone
:31:42. > :31:45.who has had a different route and gone through the card to me, because
:31:46. > :31:47.that is equally as hard, but certainly my journey has been
:31:48. > :31:51.different, and they wouldn't have changed it. I love playing for
:31:52. > :31:56.Exeter, playing in the lower leagues. I would prefer to play in
:31:57. > :31:59.the Premier League, but I do appreciate every day going to a
:32:00. > :32:03.fantastic training ground like medals per, and when we go against
:32:04. > :32:08.those teams and you hear the music, watching Match Of The Day, it is
:32:09. > :32:12.special. You were part of that Wolves team that were on the naughty
:32:13. > :32:17.step in 2009 when Mick McCarthy put a weakened team at at Old Trafford.
:32:18. > :32:24.It was still a strong team, quite a few internationals in it, but it was
:32:25. > :32:28.a changed 11. It was my Premier League debut at Old Trafford, I
:32:29. > :32:32.probably could have scored, but I have said that quite a few times in
:32:33. > :32:36.my career. I was playing against Paul Scholes, and I used to pretend
:32:37. > :32:42.to be him in the garden! So that only play against him was
:32:43. > :32:46.incredible. What is your half term report on the first five or six
:32:47. > :32:49.months? I think we have a lot to build on, which is good, and we are
:32:50. > :32:54.in a good position, so going back to the school term, we have done that,
:32:55. > :32:57.now we have our final exams, this is the crunch time, the bit that
:32:58. > :33:02.matters, and if we pass the exams, we stay up. Was it a conscious
:33:03. > :33:07.decision from Aitor Karanka in the summer to be hard to get past? Yes,
:33:08. > :33:12.since he walked in his philosophy was to be hard to beat. It isn't the
:33:13. > :33:15.most glamorous, but if it is point on the board, we are not too
:33:16. > :33:20.bothered. And sports journalism, you have done a degree course? Yes,
:33:21. > :33:25.through the PFA, we will see where it takes me. I recommend any players
:33:26. > :33:28.to do that, I'm a big advocate for the PFA, I am on the management
:33:29. > :33:32.committee, and you should use what it offers because it is such a great
:33:33. > :33:36.thing, so many opportunities for players. Qualified sports
:33:37. > :33:41.journalist. What question would you ask yourself? That is deep! That is
:33:42. > :33:47.more of a philosophy degree! It can be on anything. Where am I going to
:33:48. > :33:53.be in ten years, probably, something like that. Where are you going to be
:33:54. > :33:55.in ten years? I don't know, in coaching may be, or maybe sat where
:33:56. > :34:02.you are with another player here! We will see. I like the sound of that.
:34:03. > :34:07.Lovely to see you. There is always a job for you,
:34:08. > :34:10.George! He celebrates the fact that it is an glamorous, but they have
:34:11. > :34:15.this good defensive record, he talks about the concentration required to
:34:16. > :34:22.stay there. At the other end, 17 goals from 21 games, they brought in
:34:23. > :34:25.Patrick Bamford and Rudy Gestede, does the system allowed them to do
:34:26. > :34:32.it at the other end as well, or is it overly defensive? Identity system
:34:33. > :34:37.is overly defensive, it does allow them to get more chances and to have
:34:38. > :34:41.more going forward. I think that they don't have a lot of people who
:34:42. > :34:51.normally score a lot of goals. Their line-up against West Ham last week
:34:52. > :34:57.-- Watford last week. If they can get more people who will score more
:34:58. > :35:04.goals into the Premiership, who get more goals from midfield, I think
:35:05. > :35:09.you will see them climbing up, because they can keep it. And what
:35:10. > :35:12.is your half term report? At the start of the season, you really
:35:13. > :35:16.thought Middlesbrough would struggle. I did, purely because of
:35:17. > :35:20.the players they brought in, lacking that Premier League spirits, but
:35:21. > :35:23.although it is an glamorous at times, they have grown with results,
:35:24. > :35:31.they have won couple of games here and there, and they have given me
:35:32. > :35:36.confidence. The additions of Gestede and Bamford, he hasn't played for a
:35:37. > :35:41.while and he needs to get back to playing games and scoring goals,
:35:42. > :35:45.there is a huge emphasis on Negredo holding the ball up and try to
:35:46. > :35:51.score, he hasn't always leaves, but they have more bodies on the ground.
:35:52. > :35:55.It hasn't always been glamorous, but let's not forget they need to stay
:35:56. > :35:59.in the Premier League. That is the main thing, and at the moment, they
:36:00. > :36:03.are doing things right, they are getting their wins. Yes, they need
:36:04. > :36:13.to score more goals, but they don't want to give away goals, so yes, if
:36:14. > :36:19.they can get Bamford firing up with the striker that is already there,
:36:20. > :36:28.happy days. The Bamford, that could catch on, like the Donald! Not
:36:29. > :36:30.Boro are at home to West Ham this afternoon.
:36:31. > :36:33.Not even an Andy Carroll stunner could steal all the headlines
:36:34. > :36:38.Martin Fisher is there for us. What is the latest on Payet? Apparently
:36:39. > :36:46.he has been kicked out of the WhatsApp group, is that true? That
:36:47. > :36:49.is one of the stories that has been doing the rounds this week, it
:36:50. > :36:57.appears Dimitri Payet at is making enemies wherever he turns, the way
:36:58. > :37:00.he is in training, the way he has handled the last few weeks, the
:37:01. > :37:04.supporters have lost their love of him as well. Last season, they had
:37:05. > :37:08.their own little song for him, it was one that had its own lyrics,
:37:09. > :37:12.they have changed it now change those lyrics, but they are not the
:37:13. > :37:17.sort of lyrics that I would repeat at this time of the day on national
:37:18. > :37:21.television! Suffice to say Dimitri Payet at has played his last ever
:37:22. > :37:25.game for West Ham United. Whether or not he leaves during the January
:37:26. > :37:29.window or West Ham make him stew and sat him in the summer remains to be
:37:30. > :37:34.seen, but they will sort out a deal in West Ham's interest, and he will
:37:35. > :37:42.move on. West Ham have signed a play themselves, Joseph on join the club
:37:43. > :37:46.last night freight million pounds. ?8 million for a 33-year-old sounds
:37:47. > :38:01.like a lot of money, but the transfer market we have a moment,
:38:02. > :38:04.prices are high, and Jose Fon, I know you like your quiz questions,
:38:05. > :38:12.but which player in the Premier League one championships with his
:38:13. > :38:17.country, and when his club side won the Champions League trophy? The
:38:18. > :38:35.answer of course is... ? Jose Fonte? It is, well done! Sorry,
:38:36. > :38:40.the delay didn't help very much. Still to come:
:38:41. > :38:43.A big night for the non-leaguers as the FA Cup did the trick.
:38:44. > :38:46.We go for a nosey around the Rosey Posey as Bonnyrigg prepare
:38:47. > :38:51.And Hollywood star and Celtic fan James McAvoy takes
:38:52. > :39:04.We'll turn our attention to West Brom, currently 8th
:39:05. > :39:07.Tony Pulis celebrates his 25th anniversary as a manager this year,
:39:08. > :39:10.and the boss has been talking to seasoned Baggie.
:39:11. > :39:22.We've got a couple of pictures of you. If somebody when you were this
:39:23. > :39:25.age gives you a new car and the money, how would you have ended up
:39:26. > :39:32.as a different player, a different manager, a different person?
:39:33. > :39:37.I go back to when I was 16, jumping on a train in Newport. I was one of
:39:38. > :39:44.eight people living in a small terraced house down at the docks,
:39:45. > :39:48.and I wanted never to go back home. I wanted to make this my life, and I
:39:49. > :39:53.promised I would do everything I possibly could to stay in this sport
:39:54. > :40:03.that I have loved ever since I can remember. I had been in courage to
:40:04. > :40:08.from a very young age to learn by trade, coaching and listening to
:40:09. > :40:12.people are playing. The systems you learned, have they stood you in good
:40:13. > :40:16.stead for what you play now? We had a wonderful set up in England, and I
:40:17. > :40:22.think it was better than anywhere in the world, we used to have a week at
:40:23. > :40:28.Lilleshall, a week full of training, learning from Bobby Robson, Dave
:40:29. > :40:31.Sexton, I haven't moved too far away from the basics that I learned at
:40:32. > :40:36.that time. And the basics being what? Setting your team up properly,
:40:37. > :40:40.making sure you play to the strings that you have got and getting the
:40:41. > :40:43.best you can out of them. Is it important to be liked by the
:40:44. > :40:46.players? You can't be a manager and be liked all the time, at least half
:40:47. > :40:50.the squad would hate you, I would assume, because you are not egging
:40:51. > :40:54.them. The most important thing is to try to be straight with them, and if
:40:55. > :40:58.you try to be clever, eventually it will spin around and they will catch
:40:59. > :41:02.you out, it is difficult because you know it will hurt their feelings,
:41:03. > :41:07.but you have to do it, that is your job. So my thoughts have always been
:41:08. > :41:10.to be as straight to them as you possibly can, whether they like it
:41:11. > :41:15.or not, and one day, if they walk away, they will say, I didn't like
:41:16. > :41:20.him, but he was a straight fella. Being marked down as that offending
:41:21. > :41:26.by road, ten behind the ball, you don't need possession, you get fed
:41:27. > :41:30.up with that? That is one thing I don't give a dam about. I had a
:41:31. > :41:33.plan, a short-term plan, and that was to shake the dressing room up
:41:34. > :41:37.and get rid of quite a few players, which we have managed to do, and
:41:38. > :41:43.bring in a little more quality as we have gone along, but over the next
:41:44. > :41:46.year, two years, we need to have good windows and sign players. The
:41:47. > :41:51.aim is to bring in real top-quality players like Evans, good players
:41:52. > :41:54.like Fletcher, people of that ilk, and then hopefully over the next
:41:55. > :41:57.year or two, the younger players, they will learn of those, and then
:41:58. > :42:02.eventually take those players' places. So if we can bring that
:42:03. > :42:05.through and have a decent team for the next two or three years, we
:42:06. > :42:10.won't be looking outside to bring others in. We can then promote
:42:11. > :42:15.within and bring those kids, who are local lads, in through the team and
:42:16. > :42:19.have a real good team, and a good structure and respect of age,
:42:20. > :42:22.because that is important. So it is possible to be adventurous and
:42:23. > :42:32.defend corners effectively? Is that really possible? Yes!
:42:33. > :42:38.Tony Pulis has never had a team finish in the top half of the
:42:39. > :42:43.Premier League. Could this be the season? The are doing really well.
:42:44. > :42:47.Rewind the clock back to not so long ago, and the fans were going crazy
:42:48. > :42:50.over the way that West Brom were playing, and the performances were
:42:51. > :42:55.nowhere near as good as what they have been doing now, and so he has
:42:56. > :42:57.really turned things around. He has unbelievable amounts of experience
:42:58. > :43:01.and has done wonders at the club, and this season is probably his best
:43:02. > :43:05.opportunity to finish in the top half. And Jake Livermore has come in
:43:06. > :43:07.over a couple of million pounds, as well.
:43:08. > :43:09.So Albion looking upwards, but it's a very different story
:43:10. > :43:12.for their opponents today, Sunderland, who are currently 19th.
:43:13. > :43:19.They also suffered an FA Cup exit on Tuesday, Sam Vokes header just
:43:20. > :43:22.before half-time setting Burnley on their way.
:43:23. > :43:27.And in-form Andre Gray sealed a place in the 4th
:43:28. > :43:30.Round for Sean Dyche's men, shoving Billy Jones off the ball.
:43:31. > :43:47.Steve Wilson is at the Hawthorns for us today. Can you fill us in on the
:43:48. > :43:50.whereabouts of Joleon Lescott, we thought he was going to be with us,
:43:51. > :43:55.he was training are having a medical with Sunderland, what is happening?
:43:56. > :43:58.I gather he is in Sunderland doing some work with David Moyes ABBA
:43:59. > :44:10.Sunderland training ground over the last week or so. -- doing some work
:44:11. > :44:14.at the Sunderland training ground. The squad is desperate for a lift,
:44:15. > :44:19.he can bring some international experience. Sunderland are in dire
:44:20. > :44:22.straits, there is a mood and negativity about the place, losing
:44:23. > :44:27.in the FA Cup is a long way from being the biggest problem. If you
:44:28. > :44:29.think back 12 months ago, Sunderland effectively save themselves from
:44:30. > :44:36.relegation when they signed carne, Khazri and Kirchhoff, and David
:44:37. > :44:39.Moyes is making the point that they need something similar in this
:44:40. > :44:42.January window, but there is no sign whatsoever of this happening, and
:44:43. > :44:47.that must be immensely frustrating for the Sunderland manager. And for
:44:48. > :44:50.the fans as well, thank you, Steve. More from Steve on Final Score and
:44:51. > :44:53.Match Of The Day later. So Sunderland knocked out
:44:54. > :44:55.of the FA Cup on Tuesday. But the night's most memorable
:44:56. > :44:58.moments came elsewhere as Lincoln and Sutton kept the non-league
:44:59. > :45:07.flag flying high. the teams emerged in front of this
:45:08. > :45:16.main stand which is absolutely chock-a-block. Out comes the
:45:17. > :45:24.goalkeeper to make a save. A clear, unmarked header. He touches on to
:45:25. > :45:32.it. What colour is the card going to be? It has come back to Rory Deakin
:45:33. > :45:40.who twists and turns and shoots and scores spectacularly. My word, this
:45:41. > :45:51.is football at its glorious. And it is a goal for Saturn! And the
:45:52. > :46:02.National League side can send out invitations. Throbbing with
:46:03. > :46:12.anticipation of what is to come. A big chance! A brilliant save. He
:46:13. > :46:25.gets a shot away. Good effort from the full-back. He plays it through.
:46:26. > :46:34.Arnold to win the cup tie! In the dying seconds, they have done it.
:46:35. > :46:38.What a night for a National League side.
:46:39. > :46:41.The fourth round begins on Friday night as Derby take on Leicester.
:46:42. > :47:12.And amongst the Rams' number is a man addicted to fancy footwear.
:47:13. > :47:21.James Henry's looping effort gave them the lead just before half-time.
:47:22. > :47:28.Then Christian Benteke with a solid header into the back of the net. Sam
:47:29. > :47:32.Allardyce's first win as the boss. It sends Palace through. They will
:47:33. > :47:37.probably want to replicate that success in the league today and
:47:38. > :47:44.Jonathan Pearce is at Everton Park with a guess. A good win in the cup,
:47:45. > :47:48.but 27 points over the year and it is relegation form. How deeply
:47:49. > :47:55.concerned are you? Worried, obviously. It would be stupid if you
:47:56. > :47:59.were not. If things go against us, we could be in the bottom three. It
:48:00. > :48:06.is surprisingly have not been there yet. We have got to turn it around.
:48:07. > :48:10.A good result midweek, so hopefully we can spring of that. Sam is famous
:48:11. > :48:16.for his bounce factor. We have not had that in the league. Why has that
:48:17. > :48:20.happened under him so far? We played very well against Watford when he
:48:21. > :48:25.arrived. We probably would have won it if we had got the penalty. Then
:48:26. > :48:29.Arsenal and Swansea was a poor performance across the season. We
:48:30. > :48:35.have not put in many poor performances, but that was one of
:48:36. > :48:40.them. The players are adapting, new coaches, new voice, you coaches, new
:48:41. > :48:44.plans, and sometimes it takes time. At the end all that matters is where
:48:45. > :48:48.you are in May and hopefully we will be in a good position then. How
:48:49. > :48:54.difficult was the decision to make the change? I know you are close to
:48:55. > :48:57.Alan Pardew, he was one of your heroes. Was it all your decision or
:48:58. > :49:03.was it partly made by the American owners? Obviously I discuss things
:49:04. > :49:08.with Josh and David, but they know I am the person on the ground. It was
:49:09. > :49:13.a really tough decision. Anyone who says it is all the manager's fault,
:49:14. > :49:18.of course it is not. We all have a plan and we all try to execute the
:49:19. > :49:22.plan and we came up short. Maybe we try to change things too quickly. We
:49:23. > :49:28.wanted to make our position better and the position suggests we have
:49:29. > :49:32.not. I do not just blame Alan. We all have to take responsibility for
:49:33. > :49:36.that. In the end he is the person at the training ground and sometimes
:49:37. > :49:40.you need a jolt and a different voice and a change and that is what
:49:41. > :49:45.we needed to do. I hope he will understand, I know he does, and he
:49:46. > :49:52.will come back. He is a very good manager. When we were in this
:49:53. > :49:56.position in 2015, he arrived and we got to a cup final. We have all got
:49:57. > :50:01.to take responsibility for things not working, but now is not the time
:50:02. > :50:06.to look too deeply. You have spent a lot of money on players in the last
:50:07. > :50:10.couple of years. Is there money between now and the end of January
:50:11. > :50:15.to further increase? Is that what the fans want to get you out of
:50:16. > :50:20.trouble? Definitely, but we will not be stupid about it. It is an
:50:21. > :50:24.expensive window and we expect that. In some instances you cannot get the
:50:25. > :50:30.players. I was talking to an owner who said, you have done the right
:50:31. > :50:34.thing, but we have got our own problems and we are not going to
:50:35. > :50:37.sell at the moment. We are pleased we have got one in, and we are
:50:38. > :50:44.hopeful we will get a couple more, but it is not easy. Are you
:50:45. > :50:48.confident? Of staying in the league? Definitely, we have got a good
:50:49. > :50:53.squad. But that is not enough. Having a great squad on paper, the
:50:54. > :50:57.boys have got to change that into results and everyone knows that.
:50:58. > :51:02.This will not be easy, but we are confident. We are not complacent,
:51:03. > :51:07.but we are confident. We are doing the right things to fix it, but we
:51:08. > :51:11.will be OK in the end. We are off now because it is perishing at
:51:12. > :51:13.Selhurst Park. I am going in for a hot cup of coffee.
:51:14. > :51:16.It is not very warm here. It's the 4th round of
:51:17. > :51:19.the Scottish Cup this weekend and the most romantic tie sees
:51:20. > :51:21.junior side Bonnyrigg Rose, who once had a rather
:51:22. > :51:24.famous actor as a player, Eilidh Barbour couldn't resist
:51:25. > :51:43.a bit of Bond bingo. Welcome to Bonnyrigg, where, once
:51:44. > :51:45.upon a time, Sean Connery no less pulled on the red and white of the
:51:46. > :51:58.Rose. But more than 60 years on from when
:51:59. > :52:09.the would-be Bond played his part here, the club have licence to
:52:10. > :52:14.thrill again. Their 1-0 victory over Dumbarton in the first round was the
:52:15. > :52:20.first time in Scottish Cup history junior league team had beaten aside
:52:21. > :52:29.from Scotland's second tier. Then exhibition, cup holders Hibs in
:52:30. > :52:36.fourth round. 114 years! A game that has been moved from here to
:52:37. > :52:44.Tynecastle, the home of hearts. 12,500 tickets and it is a sell-out.
:52:45. > :52:50.??FORCED WHITE #, Goldfinger, he is the man with the Midas touch. It is
:52:51. > :52:55.so real to be honest. We have to pinch ourselves sometimes. It has
:52:56. > :53:03.been a great journey and hopefully it will continue after Saturday. To
:53:04. > :53:09.see all the people coming to buy tickets on the sale day, we took 11
:53:10. > :53:14.hours to sell out those allocated, but to see the fans queueing in the
:53:15. > :53:17.changing room area and outside the ground, you can imagine what it will
:53:18. > :53:23.be like on the day. It will be a family day, it will be fantastic for
:53:24. > :53:32.the town. It will be great, bring it on, yes. Get back! The game has been
:53:33. > :53:38.moved to Tynecastle, it is someone you know quite well. I was there for
:53:39. > :53:42.a few years, but it is not about parts, it is all about Bonnyrigg and
:53:43. > :53:47.the players and we have worked so hard in the last couple of years to
:53:48. > :53:52.keep the club going. I was a Hibs fan and when we got drawn, I could
:53:53. > :53:57.not believe it, we were going to be playing the cup-holders. I was there
:53:58. > :54:00.on the 21st of May watching my team lift the cup for the first time and
:54:01. > :54:04.I got stick from all the other players and I have had stick from
:54:05. > :54:09.all the hearts players over the last couple of years and it will be good
:54:10. > :54:14.to get my own back. The fact we are playing Hibs as well, I have been
:54:15. > :54:19.buzzing about it, to be honest. Sean Connery played in the early 50s and
:54:20. > :54:24.he played five games, he played Broxburn, a league game or a cup
:54:25. > :54:29.game, I do not know, but he scored a cracker of a goal. He used to come
:54:30. > :54:33.to the changing room and he used to get dressed in his civilian clothes
:54:34. > :54:37.and everybody would envy the corduroy jacket. It was something
:54:38. > :54:41.from Harrods and the players really loved him and he was a smart looking
:54:42. > :54:46.gentleman and the players used to get jealous of him, but obviously he
:54:47. > :54:52.went on to better things, James Bond. Hibs are strong and whatever
:54:53. > :54:56.they put out on Saturday it will be a massive challenge for us. I hope
:54:57. > :55:01.the players show what they are capable of. If they do that, they
:55:02. > :55:07.will have a chance. If Hibs have an off day and we get a bit of luck on
:55:08. > :55:18.the day, anything can happen. Good luck to Bonnyrigg this afternoon. He
:55:19. > :55:22.was in Scotland can see hearts' tie tomorrow. Chapecoense take on the
:55:23. > :55:29.Brazilian champions this weekend, so all the best to them as well. QPR
:55:30. > :55:32.against Fulham is goalless. We have the former manager of QPR with us.
:55:33. > :55:39.Are you desperate to get back into football? Desperate, not, but
:55:40. > :55:44.looking for the right opportunity. Obviously it was not nice to be
:55:45. > :55:50.relieved of my duties at QPR. I thought it was very premature
:55:51. > :55:55.because a lot of things had to be changed and being six points off the
:55:56. > :56:00.play-offs, the last game that we played against Nottingham Forest we
:56:01. > :56:07.played with ten men and did really well to get a draw. So,
:56:08. > :56:13.disappointing. But moving on and waiting for the right opportunity.
:56:14. > :56:19.QPR have just scored whilst you have been talking. Well done, I need to
:56:20. > :56:22.talk more often. And that opportunity, are you looking at
:56:23. > :56:29.Championship level or would you go back to Burton? Burton is in the
:56:30. > :56:36.Championship. You know what I mean. I want a good project, something
:56:37. > :56:44.where the club really wants me and then I can do my job. The league
:56:45. > :56:50.doesn't matter. Obviously we want to win things and play for promotion
:56:51. > :56:58.and all those kind of things. I am ambitious. I want an ambitious club.
:56:59. > :57:02.The goalkeeping coach? I asked him already and he said he is not
:57:03. > :57:07.looking to go back into football as a coach. You seem to disagree about
:57:08. > :57:13.everything, but you clearly get on. There is mutual respect. We see
:57:14. > :57:13.things a bit different, but he is a top man.
:57:14. > :57:18.Remember, next week's Focus comes live from Lincoln.
:57:19. > :57:20.We'll finish with another famous Scottish actor,
:57:21. > :57:22.Celtic fan James McAvoy, who's currently starring
:57:23. > :57:30.He plays a character with 24 different personalities.
:57:31. > :57:55.Don't worry. I'll talk to him. I grew up supporting Celtic football
:57:56. > :57:59.club. Henrik Larsson was huge for me. We could have sold him for
:58:00. > :58:07.millions at any point and he was loyal to Celtic and wanted the
:58:08. > :58:12.Celtic experience. I was a bit iffy about Brendan Rodgers when he came
:58:13. > :58:17.in. But he has taken pretty much the same squad we had last year and he
:58:18. > :58:28.made us play much more like a Rolls-Royce. It is a must win game
:58:29. > :58:43.for West Ham. Must win game. 2-0 to West Ham. That is a big one. I am
:58:44. > :58:46.looking for a thriller. 3-3. I think it is going to be 3-0.
