If you're still feeling a little down after Blue Monday,

:00:40.:00:44.

The next hour should hopefully lift your spirits.

Here's what is coming up between now and one.

Chiles talk all things Albion. And the name is Rose,

:02:07.:02:09.

played more minutes than any other Chelsea player in 2016,

:02:37.:02:44.

and Senor Dependable has been You have been here for five years.

:02:45.:02:58.

What is your favourite thing about living in the capital? The whole

:02:59.:03:02.

lifestyle here. I am happy in the club, happy in the area. I have been

:03:03.:03:07.

here for a long time, and my family is happy, and I give them a lot of

:03:08.:03:13.

credit, because to play well, you need to be happy. You were given the

:03:14.:03:18.

nickname Dave when you first arrived, who gave that to you and

:03:19.:03:23.

why? It was at an audience in the fans, one question was, if they

:03:24.:03:28.

could call me Dave. But I didn't imagine that that nickname would

:03:29.:03:36.

stay until now! What is Antonio Conte like? Since the first day, his

:03:37.:03:44.

first time in England, with the language, he tried to show us what

:03:45.:03:50.

he wanted. We trained hard, he was really passionate with his team, he

:03:51.:03:55.

always believed in us, so that is something he shows in every training

:03:56.:03:59.

session, every game. And since his arrival, you have gone from playing

:04:00.:04:02.

back four to back three, what has that transition be like? At the

:04:03.:04:08.

beginning it was a bit strange, because most of us, we never played

:04:09.:04:15.

in that system. He might have decided to change the formation

:04:16.:04:19.

because he saw that we needed that, and as soon as we changed formation,

:04:20.:04:23.

the results until now have been amazing. We have worked really hard

:04:24.:04:31.

and improved under that system, and it is something that we have to keep

:04:32.:04:36.

doing. COMMENTATOR: Knocked up towards

:04:37.:04:41.

Diego Costa, that is far too simple a golfer Chelsea to score!

:04:42.:04:45.

There were a lot of rumours about Diego Costa. How much are you

:04:46.:04:50.

looking forward to having him back in the squad? It is good to have him

:04:51.:04:57.

back. When he was suspended, we were able to win that game, but we need

:04:58.:05:03.

from everybody, the strength of the squad is really important because

:05:04.:05:08.

you want to play with the same players the whole season. The

:05:09.:05:11.

football world in general seems to be changing, the window is still

:05:12.:05:16.

open, and leagues like China and the US would target players at the end

:05:17.:05:19.

of their career, now they seem to be going for younger players who are at

:05:20.:05:23.

their peak. It is a new market that is coming out, they are targeting

:05:24.:05:28.

players, and it is up to the players to make their choices. I think

:05:29.:05:35.

everyone has different situations, so it is new opportunities for the

:05:36.:05:41.

players, new countries, so it is up to us to make the changes. You are

:05:42.:05:44.

one of the few players who has played every single minute this

:05:45.:05:48.

season, so you are clearly valued as a player and you are vital to the

:05:49.:05:53.

team. How does that make you feel? It makes me feel really happy and

:05:54.:05:58.

proud, because I want to help the team, and how is it to play every

:05:59.:06:04.

minute of the competition, that is something that I value a lot, and I

:06:05.:06:09.

want to keep doing that, be a part of the team, and I will be really

:06:10.:06:15.

happy if we can get a trophy at the end. As you can see from the

:06:16.:06:19.

statistics, he is Mr Pegg dependable. -- Mr dependable.

:06:20.:06:26.

Everybody was calling him Dave when you were in his team, we all know

:06:27.:06:30.

his name now. What this he bring to the side? He is always positive, a

:06:31.:06:35.

great professional, he works incredibly hard always on and off

:06:36.:06:38.

the pitch, he never complains about anything. When I was first there, he

:06:39.:06:45.

was in and out of the side, he just waited his turn, never went knocking

:06:46.:06:50.

on the door of the manager, at training every day he was 100%

:06:51.:06:54.

involved, giving everything all the time, and he is a manager's dream,

:06:55.:06:59.

he really is, and he has so much versatility, he can play in any

:07:00.:07:03.

position across the back, and he could probably play a bit further

:07:04.:07:07.

forward if you needed him to. He played as left-back when Mourinho

:07:08.:07:15.

came back to the Bridge, and he was exceptional. Doing his job and more.

:07:16.:07:27.

Even though Filipe Luis arrived. Yes, for 16 million, and he couldn't

:07:28.:07:34.

get into the side. And that was the winning team in the year who won the

:07:35.:07:39.

league, so to keep Filipe Luis out and bringing what he brought to the

:07:40.:07:45.

side, and now also bringing about calmness, but also that leadership

:07:46.:07:51.

to the team. What have you made of your old team this season? I want to

:07:52.:07:56.

ask you about the guy at the other end, and the way that Antonio Conte

:07:57.:08:02.

has dealt with the Costa situation. What does he bring, and how

:08:03.:08:06.

important is it that they get back the Costa that we have seen? First

:08:07.:08:17.

of all, Antonio Conte, magnificent. In the line of Mourinho, Ancelotti

:08:18.:08:25.

and all not, magnificent. In the beginning of the season, it was

:08:26.:08:31.

difficult, he changed it towards his way, gave them the opportunity to

:08:32.:08:35.

play in the four, changed it to a three where he is very comfortable.

:08:36.:08:39.

You can see it in his body language that he is more comfortable with

:08:40.:08:49.

that system. The Costa affect, you could see in their body language,

:08:50.:08:52.

they were fighting a little bit, on and off. Conte has persuaded him in

:08:53.:09:04.

a way, no, it is my way, and Costa started playing better. I think

:09:05.:09:11.

Costa is very important for Chelsea, and the odd game you won't miss him,

:09:12.:09:17.

but when you played ten games in a row, you will miss him. So Chelsea

:09:18.:09:25.

can't afford to let Costa go at this time of the season. And I think, how

:09:26.:09:31.

come Conte has done that is credit to him. If Chelsea lose Costa, you

:09:32.:09:41.

could argue that all would want to keep their chief striker fit, he is

:09:42.:09:44.

one of their few chances of staying up. Yes, his contribution to Hull

:09:45.:09:53.

was exceptional, this season he has been hampered a lot through injury,

:09:54.:09:57.

I think he is on three or four goals now, and it will be a big part for

:09:58.:10:01.

them to stay in the league, but the other key is keeping their good

:10:02.:10:05.

players, Snodgrass is someone who has been linked away from the club,

:10:06.:10:11.

Livermore has gone, and their problem is keeping hold of these

:10:12.:10:15.

players. Highlights of Chelsea against Hull

:10:16.:10:22.

and some of these other games are on Match Of The Day to 2. That's

:10:23.:10:28.

tomorrow. Liverpool are seven points behind

:10:29.:10:30.

the leaders and still juggling On Wednesday it was

:10:31.:10:33.

destination Devon. Plymouth Argyle welcome Liverpool to

:10:34.:10:41.

the theatre of greens. And it is Lucas who gets the goal. Can they

:10:42.:10:52.

respond? That is a good save. Getting away from Lucas, great

:10:53.:11:01.

chance at! Excellent defending. Daniel Sturridge, that was a good

:11:02.:11:08.

save. And a chance, and it hits the outside of the Liverpool post. It

:11:09.:11:13.

has given Liverpool a penalty. Saved by McCormick! Liverpool have

:11:14.:11:17.

survived a bit of a scare. So, the Reds progress

:11:18.:11:21.

rather than the Pilgrims. It's Swansea at Anfield

:11:22.:11:24.

today for Klopp's men, The first thing to tell you as far

:11:25.:11:36.

as Liverpool are concerned is that Philippe Coutinho start a Premier

:11:37.:11:39.

League game for the first time since November the 26th of last year after

:11:40.:11:42.

65 minutes in that cup win at Plymouth in the week. Jurgen Klopp's

:11:43.:11:46.

other change from Manchester United is the return to fitness of

:11:47.:11:51.

Nathaniel Clyne. Joel Matip who last year was cleared by Fiva to be back

:11:52.:11:55.

involved is among the substitutes. For Swansea, their boss Paul Clement

:11:56.:11:59.

was busy this week in the transfer market. He gives a debut to Martin

:12:00.:12:04.

Olsson and a second debut to Tom Carroll, who has now signed from

:12:05.:12:11.

Spurs. Luciana Narsingh misses out through injury, but Leroy Fer does

:12:12.:12:16.

start. This sees the best attacking the Premier League face the worst

:12:17.:12:20.

defence at Anfield, where Liverpool are unbeaten in 25 games.

:12:21.:12:25.

That is quite a record. This is the Liverpool line-up. They have so many

:12:26.:12:29.

attacking options, but in their last four games, they have scored two

:12:30.:12:34.

goals, so it was eight games before that. So they are missing Sadio

:12:35.:12:41.

Mane. It is a big factor for them to get Coutinho back. I don't think

:12:42.:12:46.

there is panic in Liverpool, because they have only scored two goals in

:12:47.:12:53.

four games. That happens in a season, you know? It is never going

:12:54.:12:59.

to go all the time very smoothly. But I think they were very happy to

:13:00.:13:05.

get Coutinho back, I think he is a very important factor in the

:13:06.:13:07.

Liverpool squad. Talking about the important factors, you will see the

:13:08.:13:13.

news about Steven Gerrard joining the Academy. Is this the future

:13:14.:13:16.

Liverpool manager being groomed through the system? I think so, yes.

:13:17.:13:21.

He has indicated very much that he wants to become a manager one day,

:13:22.:13:25.

and I think Liverpool are a club that are renowned for keeping their

:13:26.:13:30.

old boys in and around the club, use CX players watching, supporting, and

:13:31.:13:35.

Steven Gerrard is one of the greats of Liverpool Football Club, and it

:13:36.:13:38.

is great for the club to have him still there. And if Liverpool are

:13:39.:13:42.

good going that way, we know from the statistics of this season that

:13:43.:13:46.

Swansea have a few issues when a team are coming at them. 49 goals

:13:47.:13:53.

conceded in 21 games for Swansea. Only Barnsley have conceded more at

:13:54.:13:57.

this stage of a season. Paul Clement has a huge job on his hands just to

:13:58.:14:02.

solidify the defence. Clement has got a big job, but unfortunately,

:14:03.:14:10.

what Swansea has done wrong this year is letting Williams go, and not

:14:11.:14:18.

replacing him. With that experience. He was the captain, he was the one

:14:19.:14:21.

who would put people in the right place... He could have made a big

:14:22.:14:25.

difference? I think he would have helped it, big-time. 49 goals is a

:14:26.:14:33.

lot of goals. He was the leader, the captain, and that is what they are

:14:34.:14:37.

lacking. Clement said it, and the previous manager said the same thing

:14:38.:14:42.

about Swansea. So I think it is going to be a very tall order. I

:14:43.:14:46.

can't see Swansea getting a result there. Olsen is a good player, Tom

:14:47.:14:55.

Carroll has had limited experience in the Premier League. If I was a

:14:56.:14:59.

Swansea City fan, I would be concerned. Because you think they

:15:00.:15:03.

are preparing to go down? Possibly, yes. I disagree. If you look at

:15:04.:15:08.

Swansea, there is a certain kind of player that they go for. There is an

:15:09.:15:15.

identity at Swansea. Those are Swansea kind of players. Yes, I

:15:16.:15:22.

agree with you that they need a certain different kind of player now

:15:23.:15:26.

to get them out of the position that they are, but because of that

:15:27.:15:34.

identity, they look for the Tom Carroll, the Olsen. But they haven't

:15:35.:15:38.

played that way for quite some time. After Laudrup left, I think that was

:15:39.:15:44.

the way, and they haven't played that way for quite some time. They

:15:45.:15:48.

have tried to, but they haven't. That is why they are in the position

:15:49.:15:55.

that they are. The last two years, they have not produced those kind of

:15:56.:16:00.

performances of those two managers, but the identity is still the same.

:16:01.:16:04.

They still are trying to produce that kind of football.

:16:05.:16:10.

Did you always have chat like this in the dressing room? Yes, we had

:16:11.:16:18.

quite a few. Putting the world to rights.

:16:19.:16:19.

Peter Crouch scored 22 of his 99 Premier League goals with Liverpool.

:16:20.:16:23.

The Stoke striker could reach his century against

:16:24.:16:25.

Yes, I am six foot seven, no, I do not play basketball. I am so pleased

:16:26.:16:38.

we are having this chat. And there it is! Crouch is in the middle!

:16:39.:16:49.

Dramatic, brilliant. Peter Crouch's 99th Premier League goal. 99 Premier

:16:50.:16:58.

League goals, and your first goal for Stoke was against Manchester

:16:59.:17:07.

United? Yes, I would love to take it for my 100th goal, that would be

:17:08.:17:13.

great. And Manchester United would be a good yardstick? Yes, ever since

:17:14.:17:20.

we played at the club we always seem to get scalps at home. What was your

:17:21.:17:29.

best Premier League goal? Oh, I can remember some amazing feeling. I

:17:30.:17:33.

think the goal is scored for Tottenham to get us into the

:17:34.:17:36.

Champions League against Manchester City was an amazing feeling. Because

:17:37.:17:42.

of the significance? The significance, not because of the

:17:43.:17:46.

goal, it was a scrappy goal, but what a feeling to score that goal

:17:47.:17:51.

after. I think my hat-trick against Arsenal was up there. There was a

:17:52.:17:57.

scissor kick against Bolton for Liverpool, and the goal for Stoke

:17:58.:18:01.

against Manchester City was probably the best goal that I scored. Crouch

:18:02.:18:07.

crying for the spectacular. Oh, what a goal! Nine out of ten times they

:18:08.:18:13.

do not go anywhere near the goal, so to hit the top corner was the best

:18:14.:18:18.

goal I have scored. Perseverance has been the hallmark of your career.

:18:19.:18:24.

Yes, I have always felt that I was the second choice and I have had to

:18:25.:18:28.

force myself to be first choice. There always seems to be someone

:18:29.:18:32.

ready to replace me when the time comes and when that does happen it

:18:33.:18:36.

is frustrating. But you have got to work just as hard to get back in

:18:37.:18:41.

there. It is similar to my Stoke career at the moment. It has been

:18:42.:18:45.

hired not playing and watching the games and knowing you can have an

:18:46.:18:49.

impact. There were times when I looked at where my career was going

:18:50.:18:52.

and I was thinking, what is happening? I am not playing, where

:18:53.:18:57.

do I go next? Now I have been given this opportunity to play I am loving

:18:58.:19:03.

it even more so than before that period because now I know how much

:19:04.:19:08.

it means to me to play. You are 36 later on this month and you could be

:19:09.:19:12.

under this deal still be playing in the Premier League at 38. Of course,

:19:13.:19:21.

I spoke to the manager about it. I train every single day, I have not

:19:22.:19:25.

had too many injuries, I do not do anything differently to anyone who

:19:26.:19:31.

is 20 or 25. I still feel like I can play for a long time. Our manager

:19:32.:19:37.

played until I was 40, until he was 40, and he said I can do the same.

:19:38.:19:42.

Are you aware of how popular you are? You got a fantastic reception

:19:43.:19:48.

from the Liverpool fans when you came of before Christmas. What does

:19:49.:19:51.

that mean to you? It was quite emotional. I am in the city a lot

:19:52.:19:58.

and I know how people feel about my time at the club and it was a

:19:59.:20:02.

successful time at the club. It is very nice to get a reaction like

:20:03.:20:12.

that. When you get your 100th Premier League goal, will you

:20:13.:20:17.

resurrect the robot? I have had so many people say to me if you get the

:20:18.:20:22.

100th, you have got to do it and the pressure is taking its toll. You

:20:23.:20:27.

perform it with your usual balletic grace! Yes, that was half the reason

:20:28.:20:33.

people enjoyed it, because I was not that good at it! We talk about a

:20:34.:20:40.

fully paid-up member in the 100 club, Jimmy you got 127. Peter

:20:41.:20:45.

Crouch is one short of reaching the century. He is still playing. You

:20:46.:20:50.

retired at 36. How hard does it become when you reach that age? He

:20:51.:20:55.

is still clearly loving it. Well, yes, I was still loving it. It is

:20:56.:21:02.

different. It is harder, a lot harder. For me is specially it was

:21:03.:21:10.

because I needed the explosiveness. But for Peter it is a little bit

:21:11.:21:17.

different. He can work on the crosses, he holds. . He brings a lot

:21:18.:21:24.

more to the game, a lot more different things to the game than I

:21:25.:21:33.

needed. I needed my pace. He holds the ball up. The ball bounced off

:21:34.:21:40.

you! You did score the odd header. The odd header. He has been

:21:41.:21:46.

brilliant over the years and I think he can play a few more years. He

:21:47.:21:53.

wanted to sign him up on a longer contract because he could not face

:21:54.:21:57.

the fact of Peter Crouch playing for another team, the manager. What

:21:58.:22:08.

about sado Berahino? He is not much of it. He was sent away to get fit

:22:09.:22:12.

and he has come back and he is not fit. His head is all over the place.

:22:13.:22:19.

It must have been tough for the club and the player. Hopefully he will

:22:20.:22:22.

put it all behind him and he will get fit and he will add that pace

:22:23.:22:29.

and quality to Stoke. I am happy for him that he has put the West Brom

:22:30.:22:33.

factor behind him and he can concentrate on Stoke. He is a hell

:22:34.:22:38.

of a player, a hell of a striker. I think there is a lot more to come

:22:39.:22:43.

from him. He scores goals and we do not have that many of those at the

:22:44.:22:49.

moment. Mark Hughes will be hoping you are right. Let me give you an

:22:50.:22:54.

insight on to what these two have been like this morning. Mike, you

:22:55.:23:01.

think anyone in the top six can still win it. Jimmy is not

:23:02.:23:07.

convinced. Why do you think they can still win the title? Jose Mourinho

:23:08.:23:11.

would not be drawn on it. No, you know what he is like. He will not

:23:12.:23:16.

try to draw any more attention or pressure to Manchester United. They

:23:17.:23:21.

have so much pressure on them anyway because everyone expects them to be

:23:22.:23:25.

there or thereabouts each season. The start of the season has not been

:23:26.:23:29.

great, but since then they have gone on a great run. Last week they

:23:30.:23:33.

should have won the game against Liverpool. They have quality in the

:23:34.:23:38.

squad, Jose Mourinho is the manager and 17 games to go and they are

:23:39.:23:41.

still in the race. I still think they have a chance of winning it. He

:23:42.:23:48.

is dismissing you once again. I love Jose Mourinho, do not get me wrong.

:23:49.:23:52.

I think he is magnificent what he has done in the game also I think

:23:53.:23:57.

this is one step a little bit too far. 12 points from Chelsea, that

:23:58.:24:05.

means four games. 17 games to go. Leicester won the league last season

:24:06.:24:08.

and nobody expected that to happen. No, we did not, but they were

:24:09.:24:18.

winning. You now have to win four more games and Chelsea and I do not

:24:19.:24:27.

see Chelsea losing a lot of games. How they play, they do not give a

:24:28.:24:33.

lot of goals away. They are very happy to work from zero. They are

:24:34.:24:41.

based on that. Look, everything is possible. But very unlikely. I'm not

:24:42.:24:52.

sure if you agree or disagree. You can keep tabs on that

:24:53.:25:00.

and the rest of the three o'clock matches on Final Score with Jason,

:25:01.:25:03.

Sue Smith and Jason Gary's back from his winter

:25:04.:25:06.

break on MOTD tonight. Alan Shearer and Ruud Gullit can

:25:07.:25:09.

admire the tan first hand! And there's sure to be sunshine

:25:10.:25:11.

at the Australian Open - highlights of Jo Konta's match

:25:12.:25:14.

with Caroline Wozniacki Manchester City against Tottenham is

:25:15.:25:16.

sure to feature prominently tonight. The two sides had contrasting

:25:17.:25:19.

fortunes last weekend. Harry Kane, 1-0! Everton, one,

:25:20.:25:42.

Manchester United two. What a start to the second half for Everton. It

:25:43.:25:47.

is a mess of Manchester City boss Mark own making. Harry Kane in the

:25:48.:25:55.

middle! He beats Claudio Bravo and Everton have a 3-goal lead. A

:25:56.:26:04.

hat-trick. Extravagantly done. We can be the real contender for the

:26:05.:26:13.

Premier League. 4-0, Everton. City fans, look away now. Expectations

:26:14.:26:23.

were excessive, now it is a reality. There is a man who has got more

:26:24.:26:26.

problems than people thought he would at this stage of the season.

:26:27.:26:31.

Let's start with the goalkeeper. He said he was fairly criticise.

:26:32.:26:37.

Claudio Bravo, the statistics are backing things up. His ability to

:26:38.:26:43.

save shots, it is not what you expect at a team like Manchester

:26:44.:26:47.

City. He has got big shoes to fill in. He replaced Joe Hart. He has

:26:48.:26:53.

struggled to adapt to the Premier League. I see a different goalkeeper

:26:54.:26:58.

to the first one who arrived. Yes, he made the mistake, but he was much

:26:59.:27:05.

more confident. He demanded the ball. I see a player who is a lot

:27:06.:27:10.

deeper. He is not playing as much at the back and he has gone within his

:27:11.:27:14.

shell. The game against Everton, every time they shot on goal they

:27:15.:27:19.

were hitting the back of the net and he has struggled for form. He has

:27:20.:27:24.

conceded 14 in his last 22 shots on target. Sergio Aguero, I think Pep

:27:25.:27:31.

Guardiola is meeting with him in an Italian restaurant in Manchester

:27:32.:27:34.

because he has not scored against any of the sides in the top six so

:27:35.:27:40.

far this season. When we started and Pep Guardiola came to Manchester

:27:41.:27:44.

City, did you expect him at this stage of the season to be in the

:27:45.:27:48.

position he is in with quite so many concerns? No, I thought it would be

:27:49.:27:56.

a lot easier, but on the other hand the Premiership is full of

:27:57.:28:02.

surprises. It is totally different football than in Spain or in

:28:03.:28:07.

Germany. A lot of people need to settle. I think that's pep wants to

:28:08.:28:16.

bring his own philosophy through and it is taking a little bit longer

:28:17.:28:22.

than he thought it would. Or it is not as easy as he thought it would

:28:23.:28:27.

be. I still think that he is magnificent. And he will get it

:28:28.:28:34.

right? I think yes. Given the tools, yes. The only thing is, it is not a

:28:35.:28:42.

simple and as easy as the outside world thinks. Because he has won a

:28:43.:28:50.

lot and he is coming here with such a great CV, we are expecting

:28:51.:28:57.

straightaway something magnificent. They were dismantled last week by

:28:58.:29:04.

Everton. And Spurs, if he is struggling to get his philosophy and

:29:05.:29:08.

nine, Maurizio Pellegrino assaulted his team out. Do they have a chance

:29:09.:29:14.

this weekend? Yes, they will do the same thing that they did against

:29:15.:29:18.

Chelsea. They will put them under pressure all over the park.

:29:19.:29:23.

Everybody knows Manchester City want to play. Pep Guardiola is adamant.

:29:24.:29:28.

They will always play the same way and Mauricio Pochettino will have

:29:29.:29:32.

the Spurs team lined up and put them under pressure. John Stones has

:29:33.:29:36.

continued to make errors under pressure all over the park. That is

:29:37.:29:40.

happening because teams are not giving them the respect that maybe

:29:41.:29:47.

when he was in charge of buying or Barcelona that other teams gave. He

:29:48.:29:51.

was to control the game bible possession, that is what he wants.

:29:52.:29:56.

He needs the ball to control the whole game. But the tempo of the

:29:57.:30:01.

game in England is so much higher and the pressing is so much more.

:30:02.:30:10.

You can tackle more. The referee does not help you as much as they do

:30:11.:30:16.

on the continent. The second balls, there

:30:17.:30:25.

Learning on the job, I think it is safe to say.

:30:26.:30:28.

We'll turn our attention to the wrong end of the table.

:30:29.:30:31.

George Friend has been an integral part of Middlesbrough's line up

:30:32.:30:33.

First things first. Is it your Banjo or mandolin? I actually play the

:30:34.:30:53.

ukelele, you know. You don't? You are one of the only people outside

:30:54.:30:58.

my house that know that. Do you play it for the boys? No. It is funny

:30:59.:31:04.

where football takes you, or the way up here, and an unusual background,

:31:05.:31:10.

chicken and arable farming stock? Yes, earlier days in football, my

:31:11.:31:14.

dad used to send me off with eggs to give to the manager and the

:31:15.:31:16.

different players, and it has changed slightly now! I love where I

:31:17.:31:22.

come from. My family worked hard to enable me to play football, because

:31:23.:31:26.

there are not a lot of opportunities in North Devon, but there are some

:31:27.:31:29.

good coaches and clubs like Exeter where I started. Is it quite

:31:30.:31:34.

satisfying, having worked your way up and really earned it the hard

:31:35.:31:38.

way? I think so, but I don't think you should take it away from someone

:31:39.:31:41.

who has had a different route and gone through the card to me, because

:31:42.:31:45.

that is equally as hard, but certainly my journey has been

:31:46.:31:47.

different, and they wouldn't have changed it. I love playing for

:31:48.:31:51.

Exeter, playing in the lower leagues. I would prefer to play in

:31:52.:31:56.

the Premier League, but I do appreciate every day going to a

:31:57.:31:59.

fantastic training ground like medals per, and when we go against

:32:00.:32:03.

those teams and you hear the music, watching Match Of The Day, it is

:32:04.:32:08.

special. You were part of that Wolves team that were on the naughty

:32:09.:32:12.

step in 2009 when Mick McCarthy put a weakened team at at Old Trafford.

:32:13.:32:17.

It was still a strong team, quite a few internationals in it, but it was

:32:18.:32:24.

a changed 11. It was my Premier League debut at Old Trafford, I

:32:25.:32:28.

probably could have scored, but I have said that quite a few times in

:32:29.:32:32.

my career. I was playing against Paul Scholes, and I used to pretend

:32:33.:32:36.

to be him in the garden! So that only play against him was

:32:37.:32:42.

incredible. What is your half term report on the first five or six

:32:43.:32:46.

months? I think we have a lot to build on, which is good, and we are

:32:47.:32:49.

in a good position, so going back to the school term, we have done that,

:32:50.:32:54.

now we have our final exams, this is the crunch time, the bit that

:32:55.:32:57.

matters, and if we pass the exams, we stay up. Was it a conscious

:32:58.:33:02.

decision from Aitor Karanka in the summer to be hard to get past? Yes,

:33:03.:33:07.

since he walked in his philosophy was to be hard to beat. It isn't the

:33:08.:33:12.

most glamorous, but if it is point on the board, we are not too

:33:13.:33:15.

bothered. And sports journalism, you have done a degree course? Yes,

:33:16.:33:20.

through the PFA, we will see where it takes me. I recommend any players

:33:21.:33:25.

to do that, I'm a big advocate for the PFA, I am on the management

:33:26.:33:28.

committee, and you should use what it offers because it is such a great

:33:29.:33:32.

thing, so many opportunities for players. Qualified sports

:33:33.:33:36.

journalist. What question would you ask yourself? That is deep! That is

:33:37.:33:41.

more of a philosophy degree! It can be on anything. Where am I going to

:33:42.:33:47.

be in ten years, probably, something like that. Where are you going to be

:33:48.:33:53.

in ten years? I don't know, in coaching may be, or maybe sat where

:33:54.:33:55.

you are with another player here! We will see. I like the sound of that.

:33:56.:34:02.

Lovely to see you. There is always a job for you,

:34:03.:34:07.

George! He celebrates the fact that it is an glamorous, but they have

:34:08.:34:10.

this good defensive record, he talks about the concentration required to

:34:11.:34:15.

stay there. At the other end, 17 goals from 21 games, they brought in

:34:16.:34:22.

Patrick Bamford and Rudy Gestede, does the system allowed them to do

:34:23.:34:25.

it at the other end as well, or is it overly defensive? Identity system

:34:26.:34:32.

is overly defensive, it does allow them to get more chances and to have

:34:33.:34:37.

more going forward. I think that they don't have a lot of people who

:34:38.:34:41.

normally score a lot of goals. Their line-up against West Ham last week

:34:42.:34:51.

-- Watford last week. If they can get more people who will score more

:34:52.:34:57.

goals into the Premiership, who get more goals from midfield, I think

:34:58.:35:04.

you will see them climbing up, because they can keep it. And what

:35:05.:35:09.

is your half term report? At the start of the season, you really

:35:10.:35:12.

thought Middlesbrough would struggle. I did, purely because of

:35:13.:35:16.

the players they brought in, lacking that Premier League spirits, but

:35:17.:35:20.

although it is an glamorous at times, they have grown with results,

:35:21.:35:23.

they have won couple of games here and there, and they have given me

:35:24.:35:31.

confidence. The additions of Gestede and Bamford, he hasn't played for a

:35:32.:35:36.

while and he needs to get back to playing games and scoring goals,

:35:37.:35:41.

there is a huge emphasis on Negredo holding the ball up and try to

:35:42.:35:45.

score, he hasn't always leaves, but they have more bodies on the ground.

:35:46.:35:51.

It hasn't always been glamorous, but let's not forget they need to stay

:35:52.:35:55.

in the Premier League. That is the main thing, and at the moment, they

:35:56.:35:59.

are doing things right, they are getting their wins. Yes, they need

:36:00.:36:03.

to score more goals, but they don't want to give away goals, so yes, if

:36:04.:36:13.

they can get Bamford firing up with the striker that is already there,

:36:14.:36:19.

happy days. The Bamford, that could catch on, like the Donald! Not

:36:20.:36:28.

Boro are at home to West Ham this afternoon.

:36:29.:36:30.

Not even an Andy Carroll stunner could steal all the headlines

:36:31.:36:33.

Martin Fisher is there for us. What is the latest on Payet? Apparently

:36:34.:36:38.

he has been kicked out of the WhatsApp group, is that true? That

:36:39.:36:46.

is one of the stories that has been doing the rounds this week, it

:36:47.:36:49.

appears Dimitri Payet at is making enemies wherever he turns, the way

:36:50.:36:57.

he is in training, the way he has handled the last few weeks, the

:36:58.:37:00.

supporters have lost their love of him as well. Last season, they had

:37:01.:37:04.

their own little song for him, it was one that had its own lyrics,

:37:05.:37:08.

they have changed it now change those lyrics, but they are not the

:37:09.:37:12.

sort of lyrics that I would repeat at this time of the day on national

:37:13.:37:17.

television! Suffice to say Dimitri Payet at has played his last ever

:37:18.:37:21.

game for West Ham United. Whether or not he leaves during the January

:37:22.:37:25.

window or West Ham make him stew and sat him in the summer remains to be

:37:26.:37:29.

seen, but they will sort out a deal in West Ham's interest, and he will

:37:30.:37:34.

move on. West Ham have signed a play themselves, Joseph on join the club

:37:35.:37:42.

last night freight million pounds. ?8 million for a 33-year-old sounds

:37:43.:37:46.

like a lot of money, but the transfer market we have a moment,

:37:47.:38:01.

prices are high, and Jose Fon, I know you like your quiz questions,

:38:02.:38:04.

but which player in the Premier League one championships with his

:38:05.:38:12.

country, and when his club side won the Champions League trophy? The

:38:13.:38:17.

answer of course is... ? Jose Fonte? It is, well done! Sorry,

:38:18.:38:35.

the delay didn't help very much. Still to come:

:38:36.:38:40.

A big night for the non-leaguers as the FA Cup did the trick.

:38:41.:38:43.

We go for a nosey around the Rosey Posey as Bonnyrigg prepare

:38:44.:38:46.

And Hollywood star and Celtic fan James McAvoy takes

:38:47.:38:51.

We'll turn our attention to West Brom, currently 8th

:38:52.:39:04.

Tony Pulis celebrates his 25th anniversary as a manager this year,

:39:05.:39:07.

and the boss has been talking to seasoned Baggie.

:39:08.:39:10.

We've got a couple of pictures of you. If somebody when you were this

:39:11.:39:22.

age gives you a new car and the money, how would you have ended up

:39:23.:39:25.

as a different player, a different manager, a different person?

:39:26.:39:32.

I go back to when I was 16, jumping on a train in Newport. I was one of

:39:33.:39:37.

eight people living in a small terraced house down at the docks,

:39:38.:39:44.

and I wanted never to go back home. I wanted to make this my life, and I

:39:45.:39:48.

promised I would do everything I possibly could to stay in this sport

:39:49.:39:53.

that I have loved ever since I can remember. I had been in courage to

:39:54.:40:03.

from a very young age to learn by trade, coaching and listening to

:40:04.:40:08.

people are playing. The systems you learned, have they stood you in good

:40:09.:40:12.

stead for what you play now? We had a wonderful set up in England, and I

:40:13.:40:16.

think it was better than anywhere in the world, we used to have a week at

:40:17.:40:22.

Lilleshall, a week full of training, learning from Bobby Robson, Dave

:40:23.:40:28.

Sexton, I haven't moved too far away from the basics that I learned at

:40:29.:40:31.

that time. And the basics being what? Setting your team up properly,

:40:32.:40:36.

making sure you play to the strings that you have got and getting the

:40:37.:40:40.

best you can out of them. Is it important to be liked by the

:40:41.:40:43.

players? You can't be a manager and be liked all the time, at least half

:40:44.:40:46.

the squad would hate you, I would assume, because you are not egging

:40:47.:40:50.

them. The most important thing is to try to be straight with them, and if

:40:51.:40:54.

you try to be clever, eventually it will spin around and they will catch

:40:55.:40:58.

you out, it is difficult because you know it will hurt their feelings,

:40:59.:41:02.

but you have to do it, that is your job. So my thoughts have always been

:41:03.:41:07.

to be as straight to them as you possibly can, whether they like it

:41:08.:41:10.

or not, and one day, if they walk away, they will say, I didn't like

:41:11.:41:15.

him, but he was a straight fella. Being marked down as that offending

:41:16.:41:20.

by road, ten behind the ball, you don't need possession, you get fed

:41:21.:41:26.

up with that? That is one thing I don't give a dam about. I had a

:41:27.:41:30.

plan, a short-term plan, and that was to shake the dressing room up

:41:31.:41:33.

and get rid of quite a few players, which we have managed to do, and

:41:34.:41:37.

bring in a little more quality as we have gone along, but over the next

:41:38.:41:43.

year, two years, we need to have good windows and sign players. The

:41:44.:41:46.

aim is to bring in real top-quality players like Evans, good players

:41:47.:41:51.

like Fletcher, people of that ilk, and then hopefully over the next

:41:52.:41:54.

year or two, the younger players, they will learn of those, and then

:41:55.:41:57.

eventually take those players' places. So if we can bring that

:41:58.:42:02.

through and have a decent team for the next two or three years, we

:42:03.:42:05.

won't be looking outside to bring others in. We can then promote

:42:06.:42:10.

within and bring those kids, who are local lads, in through the team and

:42:11.:42:15.

have a real good team, and a good structure and respect of age,

:42:16.:42:19.

because that is important. So it is possible to be adventurous and

:42:20.:42:22.

defend corners effectively? Is that really possible? Yes!

:42:23.:42:32.

Tony Pulis has never had a team finish in the top half of the

:42:33.:42:38.

Premier League. Could this be the season? The are doing really well.

:42:39.:42:43.

Rewind the clock back to not so long ago, and the fans were going crazy

:42:44.:42:47.

over the way that West Brom were playing, and the performances were

:42:48.:42:50.

nowhere near as good as what they have been doing now, and so he has

:42:51.:42:55.

really turned things around. He has unbelievable amounts of experience

:42:56.:42:57.

and has done wonders at the club, and this season is probably his best

:42:58.:43:01.

opportunity to finish in the top half. And Jake Livermore has come in

:43:02.:43:05.

over a couple of million pounds, as well.

:43:06.:43:07.

So Albion looking upwards, but it's a very different story

:43:08.:43:09.

for their opponents today, Sunderland, who are currently 19th.

:43:10.:43:12.

They also suffered an FA Cup exit on Tuesday, Sam Vokes header just

:43:13.:43:19.

before half-time setting Burnley on their way.

:43:20.:43:22.

And in-form Andre Gray sealed a place in the 4th

:43:23.:43:27.

Round for Sean Dyche's men, shoving Billy Jones off the ball.

:43:28.:43:30.

Steve Wilson is at the Hawthorns for us today. Can you fill us in on the

:43:31.:43:47.

whereabouts of Joleon Lescott, we thought he was going to be with us,

:43:48.:43:50.

he was training are having a medical with Sunderland, what is happening?

:43:51.:43:55.

I gather he is in Sunderland doing some work with David Moyes ABBA

:43:56.:43:58.

Sunderland training ground over the last week or so. -- doing some work

:43:59.:44:10.

at the Sunderland training ground. The squad is desperate for a lift,

:44:11.:44:14.

he can bring some international experience. Sunderland are in dire

:44:15.:44:19.

straits, there is a mood and negativity about the place, losing

:44:20.:44:22.

in the FA Cup is a long way from being the biggest problem. If you

:44:23.:44:27.

think back 12 months ago, Sunderland effectively save themselves from

:44:28.:44:29.

relegation when they signed carne, Khazri and Kirchhoff, and David

:44:30.:44:36.

Moyes is making the point that they need something similar in this

:44:37.:44:39.

January window, but there is no sign whatsoever of this happening, and

:44:40.:44:42.

that must be immensely frustrating for the Sunderland manager. And for

:44:43.:44:47.

the fans as well, thank you, Steve. More from Steve on Final Score and

:44:48.:44:50.

Match Of The Day later. So Sunderland knocked out

:44:51.:44:53.

of the FA Cup on Tuesday. But the night's most memorable

:44:54.:44:55.

moments came elsewhere as Lincoln and Sutton kept the non-league

:44:56.:44:58.

flag flying high. the teams emerged in front of this

:44:59.:45:07.

main stand which is absolutely chock-a-block. Out comes the

:45:08.:45:16.

goalkeeper to make a save. A clear, unmarked header. He touches on to

:45:17.:45:24.

it. What colour is the card going to be? It has come back to Rory Deakin

:45:25.:45:32.

who twists and turns and shoots and scores spectacularly. My word, this

:45:33.:45:40.

is football at its glorious. And it is a goal for Saturn! And the

:45:41.:45:51.

National League side can send out invitations. Throbbing with

:45:52.:46:02.

anticipation of what is to come. A big chance! A brilliant save. He

:46:03.:46:12.

gets a shot away. Good effort from the full-back. He plays it through.

:46:13.:46:25.

Arnold to win the cup tie! In the dying seconds, they have done it.

:46:26.:46:34.

What a night for a National League side.

:46:35.:46:38.

The fourth round begins on Friday night as Derby take on Leicester.

:46:39.:46:41.

And amongst the Rams' number is a man addicted to fancy footwear.

:46:42.:47:12.

James Henry's looping effort gave them the lead just before half-time.

:47:13.:47:21.

Then Christian Benteke with a solid header into the back of the net. Sam

:47:22.:47:28.

Allardyce's first win as the boss. It sends Palace through. They will

:47:29.:47:32.

probably want to replicate that success in the league today and

:47:33.:47:37.

Jonathan Pearce is at Everton Park with a guess. A good win in the cup,

:47:38.:47:44.

but 27 points over the year and it is relegation form. How deeply

:47:45.:47:48.

concerned are you? Worried, obviously. It would be stupid if you

:47:49.:47:55.

were not. If things go against us, we could be in the bottom three. It

:47:56.:47:59.

is surprisingly have not been there yet. We have got to turn it around.

:48:00.:48:06.

A good result midweek, so hopefully we can spring of that. Sam is famous

:48:07.:48:10.

for his bounce factor. We have not had that in the league. Why has that

:48:11.:48:16.

happened under him so far? We played very well against Watford when he

:48:17.:48:20.

arrived. We probably would have won it if we had got the penalty. Then

:48:21.:48:25.

Arsenal and Swansea was a poor performance across the season. We

:48:26.:48:29.

have not put in many poor performances, but that was one of

:48:30.:48:35.

them. The players are adapting, new coaches, new voice, you coaches, new

:48:36.:48:40.

plans, and sometimes it takes time. At the end all that matters is where

:48:41.:48:44.

you are in May and hopefully we will be in a good position then. How

:48:45.:48:48.

difficult was the decision to make the change? I know you are close to

:48:49.:48:54.

Alan Pardew, he was one of your heroes. Was it all your decision or

:48:55.:48:57.

was it partly made by the American owners? Obviously I discuss things

:48:58.:49:03.

with Josh and David, but they know I am the person on the ground. It was

:49:04.:49:08.

a really tough decision. Anyone who says it is all the manager's fault,

:49:09.:49:13.

of course it is not. We all have a plan and we all try to execute the

:49:14.:49:18.

plan and we came up short. Maybe we try to change things too quickly. We

:49:19.:49:22.

wanted to make our position better and the position suggests we have

:49:23.:49:28.

not. I do not just blame Alan. We all have to take responsibility for

:49:29.:49:32.

that. In the end he is the person at the training ground and sometimes

:49:33.:49:36.

you need a jolt and a different voice and a change and that is what

:49:37.:49:40.

we needed to do. I hope he will understand, I know he does, and he

:49:41.:49:45.

will come back. He is a very good manager. When we were in this

:49:46.:49:52.

position in 2015, he arrived and we got to a cup final. We have all got

:49:53.:49:56.

to take responsibility for things not working, but now is not the time

:49:57.:50:01.

to look too deeply. You have spent a lot of money on players in the last

:50:02.:50:06.

couple of years. Is there money between now and the end of January

:50:07.:50:10.

to further increase? Is that what the fans want to get you out of

:50:11.:50:15.

trouble? Definitely, but we will not be stupid about it. It is an

:50:16.:50:20.

expensive window and we expect that. In some instances you cannot get the

:50:21.:50:24.

players. I was talking to an owner who said, you have done the right

:50:25.:50:30.

thing, but we have got our own problems and we are not going to

:50:31.:50:34.

sell at the moment. We are pleased we have got one in, and we are

:50:35.:50:37.

hopeful we will get a couple more, but it is not easy. Are you

:50:38.:50:44.

confident? Of staying in the league? Definitely, we have got a good

:50:45.:50:48.

squad. But that is not enough. Having a great squad on paper, the

:50:49.:50:53.

boys have got to change that into results and everyone knows that.

:50:54.:50:57.

This will not be easy, but we are confident. We are not complacent,

:50:58.:51:02.

but we are confident. We are doing the right things to fix it, but we

:51:03.:51:07.

will be OK in the end. We are off now because it is perishing at

:51:08.:51:11.

Selhurst Park. I am going in for a hot cup of coffee.

:51:12.:51:13.

It is not very warm here. It's the 4th round of

:51:14.:51:16.

the Scottish Cup this weekend and the most romantic tie sees

:51:17.:51:19.

junior side Bonnyrigg Rose, who once had a rather

:51:20.:51:21.

famous actor as a player, Eilidh Barbour couldn't resist

:51:22.:51:24.

a bit of Bond bingo. Welcome to Bonnyrigg, where, once

:51:25.:51:43.

upon a time, Sean Connery no less pulled on the red and white of the

:51:44.:51:45.

Rose. But more than 60 years on from when

:51:46.:51:58.

the would-be Bond played his part here, the club have licence to

:51:59.:52:09.

thrill again. Their 1-0 victory over Dumbarton in the first round was the

:52:10.:52:14.

first time in Scottish Cup history junior league team had beaten aside

:52:15.:52:20.

from Scotland's second tier. Then exhibition, cup holders Hibs in

:52:21.:52:29.

fourth round. 114 years! A game that has been moved from here to

:52:30.:52:36.

Tynecastle, the home of hearts. 12,500 tickets and it is a sell-out.

:52:37.:52:44.

??FORCED WHITE #, Goldfinger, he is the man with the Midas touch. It is

:52:45.:52:50.

so real to be honest. We have to pinch ourselves sometimes. It has

:52:51.:52:55.

been a great journey and hopefully it will continue after Saturday. To

:52:56.:53:03.

see all the people coming to buy tickets on the sale day, we took 11

:53:04.:53:09.

hours to sell out those allocated, but to see the fans queueing in the

:53:10.:53:14.

changing room area and outside the ground, you can imagine what it will

:53:15.:53:17.

be like on the day. It will be a family day, it will be fantastic for

:53:18.:53:23.

the town. It will be great, bring it on, yes. Get back! The game has been

:53:24.:53:32.

moved to Tynecastle, it is someone you know quite well. I was there for

:53:33.:53:38.

a few years, but it is not about parts, it is all about Bonnyrigg and

:53:39.:53:42.

the players and we have worked so hard in the last couple of years to

:53:43.:53:47.

keep the club going. I was a Hibs fan and when we got drawn, I could

:53:48.:53:52.

not believe it, we were going to be playing the cup-holders. I was there

:53:53.:53:57.

on the 21st of May watching my team lift the cup for the first time and

:53:58.:54:00.

I got stick from all the other players and I have had stick from

:54:01.:54:04.

all the hearts players over the last couple of years and it will be good

:54:05.:54:09.

to get my own back. The fact we are playing Hibs as well, I have been

:54:10.:54:14.

buzzing about it, to be honest. Sean Connery played in the early 50s and

:54:15.:54:19.

he played five games, he played Broxburn, a league game or a cup

:54:20.:54:24.

game, I do not know, but he scored a cracker of a goal. He used to come

:54:25.:54:29.

to the changing room and he used to get dressed in his civilian clothes

:54:30.:54:33.

and everybody would envy the corduroy jacket. It was something

:54:34.:54:37.

from Harrods and the players really loved him and he was a smart looking

:54:38.:54:41.

gentleman and the players used to get jealous of him, but obviously he

:54:42.:54:46.

went on to better things, James Bond. Hibs are strong and whatever

:54:47.:54:52.

they put out on Saturday it will be a massive challenge for us. I hope

:54:53.:54:56.

the players show what they are capable of. If they do that, they

:54:57.:55:01.

will have a chance. If Hibs have an off day and we get a bit of luck on

:55:02.:55:07.

the day, anything can happen. Good luck to Bonnyrigg this afternoon. He

:55:08.:55:18.

was in Scotland can see hearts' tie tomorrow. Chapecoense take on the

:55:19.:55:22.

Brazilian champions this weekend, so all the best to them as well. QPR

:55:23.:55:29.

against Fulham is goalless. We have the former manager of QPR with us.

:55:30.:55:32.

Are you desperate to get back into football? Desperate, not, but

:55:33.:55:39.

looking for the right opportunity. Obviously it was not nice to be

:55:40.:55:44.

relieved of my duties at QPR. I thought it was very premature

:55:45.:55:50.

because a lot of things had to be changed and being six points off the

:55:51.:55:55.

play-offs, the last game that we played against Nottingham Forest we

:55:56.:56:00.

played with ten men and did really well to get a draw. So,

:56:01.:56:07.

disappointing. But moving on and waiting for the right opportunity.

:56:08.:56:13.

QPR have just scored whilst you have been talking. Well done, I need to

:56:14.:56:19.

talk more often. And that opportunity, are you looking at

:56:20.:56:22.

Championship level or would you go back to Burton? Burton is in the

:56:23.:56:29.

Championship. You know what I mean. I want a good project, something

:56:30.:56:36.

where the club really wants me and then I can do my job. The league

:56:37.:56:44.

doesn't matter. Obviously we want to win things and play for promotion

:56:45.:56:50.

and all those kind of things. I am ambitious. I want an ambitious club.

:56:51.:56:58.

The goalkeeping coach? I asked him already and he said he is not

:56:59.:57:02.

looking to go back into football as a coach. You seem to disagree about

:57:03.:57:07.

everything, but you clearly get on. There is mutual respect. We see

:57:08.:57:13.

things a bit different, but he is a top man.

:57:14.:57:13.

Remember, next week's Focus comes live from Lincoln.

:57:14.:57:18.

We'll finish with another famous Scottish actor,

:57:19.:57:20.

Celtic fan James McAvoy, who's currently starring

:57:21.:57:22.

He plays a character with 24 different personalities.

:57:23.:57:30.

Don't worry. I'll talk to him. I grew up supporting Celtic football

:57:31.:57:55.

club. Henrik Larsson was huge for me. We could have sold him for

:57:56.:57:59.

millions at any point and he was loyal to Celtic and wanted the

:58:00.:58:07.

Celtic experience. I was a bit iffy about Brendan Rodgers when he came

:58:08.:58:12.

in. But he has taken pretty much the same squad we had last year and he

:58:13.:58:17.

made us play much more like a Rolls-Royce. It is a must win game

:58:18.:58:28.

for West Ham. Must win game. 2-0 to West Ham. That is a big one. I am

:58:29.:58:43.

looking for a thriller. 3-3. I think it is going to be 3-0.

:58:44.:58:46.
