0:00:15 > 0:00:23It is absolutely brilliant.This is getting better and better.A chance
0:00:23 > 0:00:33for Cristiano Ronaldo. History boys indeed.
0:00:33 > 0:00:41History boys indeed.A hat-trick! The biggest Chelsea celebration of
0:00:41 > 0:00:46the season. Ladies and gentlemen we are in the
0:00:46 > 0:00:51thick of the awards season but never mind the Bastos, the Oscars, all the
0:00:51 > 0:01:00stars are out in force for the a list this week.
0:01:01 > 0:01:11It is winning, that is what I always wanted to do.He has done it again.
0:01:13 > 0:01:20It is a dream for me to win the Premier League here.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32When you say football, you mean soccer?
0:01:32 > 0:01:38Definitely football focus. We also hear from the Brighton goalkeeper
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Matt Ryan and Clem visits from. Plenty to talk about with these
0:01:44 > 0:01:50couple of A listers. Cable -- Kevin Qaboun and Paul Clement. These are
0:01:50 > 0:01:55your Premier League fixtures this weekend and today is a big day at
0:01:55 > 0:02:00the bottom. Newcastle make a 700 mile round trip to Bournemouth.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Brighton host Swansea and it is West Brom against Huddersfield at the
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Hawthorns. Mourinho and can't meet at Old Trafford tomorrow and there's
0:02:09 > 0:02:13also the League Cup final at Wembley between Arsenal and Manchester City.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17But with start with the man who has spent half his life scoring goals at
0:02:17 > 0:02:23the top level. We sent former team-mate Kevin Gill banned for a
0:02:23 > 0:02:28glimpse into territory. What is it like being Wayne Rooney?Quite
0:02:28 > 0:02:34boring. Putting the kids to bed. Then training the next day.He has
0:02:34 > 0:02:42done it again! I'll just want to congratulate you
0:02:42 > 0:02:46on your new baby boy.How are you feeling question great. A new
0:02:46 > 0:02:53addition to the family. And another boy. It is great, the other lads
0:02:53 > 0:02:56have enjoyed having him around the last few days.And just settling
0:02:56 > 0:03:02back down now. How do you feel when they watch you play for Everton, is
0:03:02 > 0:03:08it important to you?Very important, growing up I was an Everton fan
0:03:08 > 0:03:13going to the games with my dad. Always something I wanted to do to
0:03:13 > 0:03:16let my kids see me play for Everton and in the future going to games
0:03:16 > 0:03:20with them as well. It is a big part of my life and always has been. And
0:03:20 > 0:03:26great to be back here and for the kids to be able to watch me play.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31What do they say to you after games when they have watched you?Just my
0:03:31 > 0:03:36eldest, really, if I do not play well or whatever he reminds you. He
0:03:36 > 0:03:42is clued in now? Onto everything in football, obsessed with it. So if
0:03:42 > 0:03:46you do not have a good game he is the first to tell me.Do you feel
0:03:46 > 0:03:50less pressure coming back to Everton because you're in a unique
0:03:50 > 0:03:54situation, how you burst onto the scene, you left, now you have come
0:03:54 > 0:04:00back.More or less pressure? In the summer when I left Manchester United
0:04:00 > 0:04:06it would be easy for me to go abroad, to go to China or else. See
0:04:06 > 0:04:13out the last few years of my career earning money. That is just not me,
0:04:13 > 0:04:21I need that pressure, that desire to play. It been lost if I've chosen
0:04:21 > 0:04:28the other option. So to come back to Everton, there was no more pressure
0:04:28 > 0:04:34on me than anywhere else. I almost wanted to prove myself again. To the
0:04:34 > 0:04:44Everton fans and help the club move forward and when trophies. It was
0:04:44 > 0:04:47the perfect fit for me and hopefully we can do that in the next couple of
0:04:47 > 0:04:55years. The start of the season, the fixtures were tough. But as a group
0:04:55 > 0:05:00of players, I just do not think we applied ourselves in the right way
0:05:00 > 0:05:08during the games. Why do you think that was? I don't know, it was
0:05:08 > 0:05:13tough, it was my first few games back and it was tough to put your
0:05:13 > 0:05:17finger on why that was happening. We had to get it together quick. We got
0:05:17 > 0:05:26better results and if we can sort out the away form, a couple of
0:05:26 > 0:05:29points off seventh place has got to be realistically the goal for the
0:05:29 > 0:05:37season.What can you achieve over however long you have left playing?
0:05:37 > 0:05:42Everton for too many years has been a club that has been finishing
0:05:42 > 0:05:49sixth, seventh. What hits home, when you see Leicester winning the
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Premier League, which they deserved, but Everton is a much bigger club
0:05:54 > 0:05:59than Leicester. And Everton has to move forward and I want to be part
0:05:59 > 0:06:05of that. We have owners in place willing to back the club and I think
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Everton can be a major force in English football again. And
0:06:10 > 0:06:15hopefully I can be here to see that happening.Wayne Rooney has done it
0:06:15 > 0:06:21again! Given the amount of games you played do have a field there has to
0:06:21 > 0:06:25be some time in your head when you think I cannot necessarily do that
0:06:25 > 0:06:31any more.Obviously that time will come, I am an honest player, if I
0:06:31 > 0:06:39feel I'm not good enough to play then I would not put myself in the
0:06:39 > 0:06:42position to keep trying. If I'm not good enough to blame the team that
0:06:42 > 0:06:46will be would be the time when I probably would finish playing. I'm
0:06:46 > 0:06:51not going to be explosive player I was. And of course my game will have
0:06:51 > 0:06:58to change. I think the best role for me and for the team is me playing in
0:06:58 > 0:07:06the middle of the pitch. I think it is the best for me and also will
0:07:06 > 0:07:12benefit the team.What is it that motivates you every day to continue
0:07:12 > 0:07:19to play at the level your act?It is winning, but I've always wanted to
0:07:19 > 0:07:24do obviously as a 16-year-old when I came through, I'm playing to win. I
0:07:24 > 0:07:28want to try to help Everton move forward as a club and hopefully I
0:07:28 > 0:07:36can be part of that.He speaks really well. 208 Premier League
0:07:36 > 0:07:40goals and counting. You turned up at Everton the season after he had
0:07:40 > 0:07:45burst onto the scene. You had a chat again this week. How have you seen
0:07:45 > 0:07:51him develop over that long time?It is how mature and he is now, of
0:07:51 > 0:07:54course that happens in life but the pressure and scrutiny he has been
0:07:54 > 0:07:59under through his whole playing career. It was almost a bit of a
0:07:59 > 0:08:03buzz for me when I first went to Everton to be playing with this
0:08:03 > 0:08:09superstar. Everyone was talking about him. Exactly, and it was a
0:08:09 > 0:08:13name that David Moyes mentioned to me as soon as I came through the
0:08:13 > 0:08:17door, wait until you see him training, his attitude. Of course he
0:08:17 > 0:08:22had everything. Look at the calibre of the goals he scored his workrate,
0:08:22 > 0:08:28everything. That class and skill he possesses. But the way he has mature
0:08:28 > 0:08:31it has been the most impressive thing given the scrutiny he has
0:08:31 > 0:08:36always been under.If you are an opposition manager playing against a
0:08:36 > 0:08:41team with Wayne Rooney in it. Midfield these days. Would you be
0:08:41 > 0:08:47more concerned now of seeing him in that position?He's a different type
0:08:47 > 0:08:52of player to where he was aged 16, 17, where he was leading the line is
0:08:52 > 0:08:58number nine. He playing in the position is now, off the striker or
0:08:58 > 0:09:03midfield and that is where he sees his strengths. And some managers see
0:09:03 > 0:09:08him being more influential in a slightly deeper position. Because as
0:09:08 > 0:09:13you get older you lose that dynamic pace.Well Wayne Rooney in his
0:09:13 > 0:09:18assessment of what Everton have did this season, it has been a strange
0:09:18 > 0:09:23season. How do you assess where they are at the moment?Clearly they had
0:09:23 > 0:09:27a difficult start and in quite a bit of trouble at the bottom of the
0:09:27 > 0:09:30league, then they made a change and they have that period where they
0:09:30 > 0:09:35could not find the manager. The results were up and down in that
0:09:35 > 0:09:40period and then Sam came in. Got some great results early on. Now it
0:09:40 > 0:09:44is about pushing onto the end of the season and having a really good top
0:09:44 > 0:09:50half finish.I think they're targeting seven and realistically
0:09:50 > 0:09:53that is where they're at. It is about the next couple of seasons
0:09:53 > 0:09:59trying to push on from there.What about him as an individual, you have
0:09:59 > 0:10:05known him for a long time. Many people have been impressed with him
0:10:05 > 0:10:09recently as a pundit. He could do that if he wanted to but he seems to
0:10:09 > 0:10:15have a passion to be involved in day-to-day basis in football.Could
0:10:15 > 0:10:20he be a coach? I can see that with him, he has a love for Everton, what
0:10:20 > 0:10:26it means to him. You could see him may be progressing into some kind of
0:10:26 > 0:10:30coaching capacity straightaway. And then who's to say could not manage
0:10:30 > 0:10:34the club and future years. He is definitely mature enough, he has a
0:10:34 > 0:10:41lot to learn and certainly the intricacies of coaching management.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46But he's now at the stage where he could go to that level.You think he
0:10:46 > 0:10:52could make that jump? You have seen this in your managerial career, it
0:10:52 > 0:10:57is their only a small portion of players that can make that step into
0:10:57 > 0:11:00being a successful manager?The first thing is you really need to
0:11:00 > 0:11:05want to do it and you have to have that drive and determination to put
0:11:05 > 0:11:08in the hours to ultimately make a change in your career. Because
0:11:08 > 0:11:12managing and coaching is not playing, it is very different. But
0:11:12 > 0:11:17he has a great head start because of all the experience he's had. 16
0:11:17 > 0:11:22years old, up until now. You end up thinking he is older than he is but
0:11:22 > 0:11:27he is 32, good years ahead of him. He has mature incredibly. Made some
0:11:27 > 0:11:32mistakes along the way as we all have. But he has a lot to offer now
0:11:32 > 0:11:36and I'm sure in the future as well. Well they take on Watford this
0:11:36 > 0:11:40weekend. And we switched to the other side of Merseyside and the
0:11:40 > 0:11:44player who looks like the best 30 odd million you could ever spent.
0:11:44 > 0:11:56Simon Crabtree has been to see Mo Salah. One man meant -- went to mow.
0:11:56 > 0:12:05Mohamed Salah, he is through and scores brilliantly! He finds the
0:12:05 > 0:12:09back of the net! Mo Salah has done it again!Mo Salah has scored for
0:12:09 > 0:12:18Liverpool full stop every game the goal for Mo Salah.So far so good
0:12:18 > 0:12:24this season. What has changed to bring this fantastic Mo Salah?You
0:12:24 > 0:12:32know for a long time I tried every day to improve myself. And I think
0:12:32 > 0:12:36that has worked every year if you see my goals and everything I did
0:12:36 > 0:12:42the last four or five years, every year is better than the year before.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Has Jurgen Klopp had an influence as well?Of course, since I came here
0:12:46 > 0:12:56he change something in me. More than in any other club. But now the
0:12:56 > 0:13:00difference between me and five years ago, everything has changed.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Mentally and physically and everything. I'm trying to improve
0:13:03 > 0:13:08every day. I like to play in the Premier League, I like the Premier
0:13:08 > 0:13:19League a lot. And now I'm playing here and enjoying my football.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23here and enjoying my football.Does he go for it? He scores and
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Manchester City are surely going to be beaten here at Anfield today.
0:13:26 > 0:13:33When I was younger I used to go for the half hours from my village to
0:13:33 > 0:13:38play in Cairo and come back. It was not easy. I suffered a lot for that.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44I used to leave school, nine o'clock in the morning and did not go back
0:13:44 > 0:13:49until 930 in the evening. The day after the same. I gave football all
0:13:49 > 0:13:54my life. I only think about football. That is what is in my mind
0:13:54 > 0:13:58all the time. I work hard every day in the gym. I sleep good, ie it
0:13:58 > 0:14:12good. You know, I try to be professional. -- ie eat good.
0:14:12 > 0:14:18Bellerin, and Mo Salah away for Liverpool. Can he finished this
0:14:18 > 0:14:29time? Liverpool three, Arsenal will. With this kind of quality they make
0:14:29 > 0:14:35things easier for me, they helped me a lot. I'm enjoying my moment here
0:14:35 > 0:14:39and enjoying playing football for this club.What can Liverpool
0:14:39 > 0:14:43achieved between now and the end of the season, at least 12 more
0:14:43 > 0:14:48matches. Champions League as well, what are you thinking?In football
0:14:48 > 0:14:51anything can happen, you never know what is going to happen. But if you
0:14:51 > 0:14:56do not have a dream, if you do not sacrifice and work hard to achieve
0:14:56 > 0:15:02something, you will never get it. So we will work hard for the Champions
0:15:02 > 0:15:10League to do something special. I came here to win titles. I came here
0:15:10 > 0:15:17to help the club win titles. I know everyone here works hard to win
0:15:17 > 0:15:21something for the club, for the fans, for ourselves. It is my dream
0:15:21 > 0:15:29to win the Premier League, honestly. I want to win it with this club.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Ito about being very careful of what he eats, but we have got some
0:15:32 > 0:15:39footage of him in a chippy! In his defence, it was an advert for
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Egyptian TV, I doubt he went home with a battered sausage, but really
0:15:43 > 0:15:48enjoying his football at the moment, and some of the statistics, he
0:15:48 > 0:15:51averages a goal or assist every 64 minutes in Aprilia league game at
0:15:51 > 0:15:58Anfield this season. I mean, to play against, he must be terrifying.Peas
0:15:58 > 0:16:01got a fantastic scoring record, playing in a great front three at
0:16:01 > 0:16:06the moment - dangerous in all positions. But he has
0:16:06 > 0:16:09the moment - dangerous in all positions. But he has got pace,
0:16:09 > 0:16:13power, technically strong, and I think what I like about him as well,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16the way he interviews, and I bumped into him once in London, this
0:16:16 > 0:16:20season. He has got a great temperament, really nice young man.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25It is a nice story, with the difficulties he had at Chelsea, he
0:16:25 > 0:16:28went away, reinvented himself, comeback here, one of the best
0:16:28 > 0:16:35players in the league.Was it in a fish and chip shop in London?! He
0:16:35 > 0:16:39talks, Kevin, about winning trophies with Liverpool, and he has taken a
0:16:39 > 0:16:44bit of flak for that, but it shows the desire - not just personal
0:16:44 > 0:16:49desire to be the best he can be, but to achieve things with that side.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Hwyl fawr off title winning and a trophy winning team are they? --
0:16:53 > 0:16:58hwyl
0:17:00 > 0:17:04hwylthey have got a real chance because of that front three. What he
0:17:04 > 0:17:11has brought to the side,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15has brought to the side, they didn't have an option for people who could
0:17:15 > 0:17:20double in tight situations. When sides are deep against them, he has
0:17:20 > 0:17:22got the ability to beat them.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23sides are deep against them, he has got the ability to beat them.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Liverpool have got a chance to go all the way in that competition.You
0:17:28 > 0:17:32have played against the best teams this season, how good are Liverpool
0:17:32 > 0:17:38in comparison to Manchester City, United and the others?It is a good
0:17:38 > 0:17:44question, because Tottenham have got good front players as well. As a
0:17:44 > 0:17:52three, manual are the best, very close to Man City. --
0:17:53 > 0:17:57close to Man City. -- Man United. Klopp has to take credit for the way
0:17:57 > 0:18:00he has deployed Salah. Sometimes you can end up deep against the
0:18:00 > 0:18:04opposition full-backs, but they press very high and they win the
0:18:04 > 0:18:10ball is high up the pitch, so they are in a position to score. It is a
0:18:10 > 0:18:15fabulous record for a player who is not a striker.On to West Ham, the
0:18:15 > 0:18:2025th anniversary of the death of Bobby Moore, a commemoratives mural
0:18:20 > 0:18:26has been unveiled at the London Stadium today, there it is for you,
0:18:26 > 0:18:31and they are taking on Liverpool today. In terms of the current crop,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Arnautovic, Hernandez, David Moyes has turned things around, and many
0:18:34 > 0:18:40people thought it wouldn't work out. Certainly Arnautovic started this
0:18:40 > 0:18:45season, was not quite added, and I think Hernandez has scored two in
0:18:45 > 0:18:48his last two, hasn't he? He is getting the best out of
0:18:48 > 0:18:48his last two, hasn't he? He is getting the best out of the most
0:18:48 > 0:18:53creative players. Always a difficult thing to do in football, but
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Arnautovic has been the standout performer, just seeing how he has
0:18:57 > 0:19:01grown in confidence, now we are seeing him as the player we know he
0:19:01 > 0:19:10is. All of a sudden, he is getting the best out of those players, and
0:19:10 > 0:19:13going to Liverpool today, Anfield will be difficult. I think we know
0:19:13 > 0:19:14going to Liverpool today, Anfield will be difficult. I think we know
0:19:14 > 0:19:17that. They may have to play a different style today, but you can
0:19:17 > 0:19:22rely on them to get you in the game when you are up against it.Let's
0:19:22 > 0:19:26turn our attention to the lunchtime kick-off in the Premier League,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29under way shortly at the King Power, where Steve Bower will be watching
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Leicester take on second bottom Stoke, the worst away record in the
0:19:33 > 0:19:38division.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42division. Let's find out what is happening with the teams.Stoke have
0:19:42 > 0:19:45it? They did only six points away from the potteries, and this is a
0:19:45 > 0:19:47far from straightforward task to try to improve that form, Leicester have
0:19:47 > 0:19:50lost only twice here since Claude Puel succeeded Craig Shakespeare in
0:19:50 > 0:19:54October. There have been chinks of light for the visitors since Paul
0:19:54 > 0:19:59Lambert's arrival, five points from 12, one more than the previous 24
0:19:59 > 0:20:02under Mark Hughes, but today they have to stop Jamie Vardy scoring for
0:20:02 > 0:20:07the sixth match in a row. The lesser team shows two changes from their FA
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Cup victory over Sheffield United, Marc Albrighton and Matty James
0:20:11 > 0:20:17start, as does Riyad Mahrez. Interesting news from Stoke, three
0:20:17 > 0:20:22changes in all, Ryan Shawcross and Darren Fletcher are out, Erik
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Pieters is on the bench, so a full Premier League debut for the Greek
0:20:25 > 0:20:31international Kosta Stafylidis, and recalls for Martins Indi and
0:20:31 > 0:20:40Cameron. 18-year-old striker Campbell, son of Kevin, who scored
0:20:40 > 0:20:5217 goals for the undo 23s so far this season. -- under-23s.Thank
0:20:52 > 0:20:59you, looks like lovely weather today. Stoke were denied last time
0:20:59 > 0:21:03out by a last-minute penalty stop by Maty Ryan, the Aussie has become a
0:21:03 > 0:21:06key factor in their survival plan, and Mark Schwarzer has been to the
0:21:06 > 0:21:12south coast to collar his compatriot.
0:21:12 > 0:21:22Ryan has made an exceptional save! Good save by Ryan!
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Good save by Ryan!Maty, thank you for having it had with us, how are
0:21:26 > 0:21:29you finding life on the south coast? Pretty good, away from football it
0:21:29 > 0:21:34is very pleasant, everyone refers to it as a little London down here,
0:21:34 > 0:21:40always things going on, enjoyable place to live.Have you brought your
0:21:40 > 0:21:43surfboard?!To be fair, it gets a bit of a swell when the wind is
0:21:43 > 0:21:48going, but the rocky beaches is enough to turn me off and stay
0:21:48 > 0:21:51inside!The first six games of the season were probably the toughest
0:21:51 > 0:21:59for you. How did you deal with that? Obviously, past experience is that
0:21:59 > 0:22:03you make mistakes and you have to deal with it, but if you show a
0:22:03 > 0:22:07little bit of weakness or you can't handle that sort of adversity and
0:22:07 > 0:22:11whatnot, perhaps it is not the sport for you. When you made a mistake, it
0:22:11 > 0:22:17is all about how you bounce back and respond.It seems to have coincided
0:22:17 > 0:22:20with Tim Krul arriving, I was at the game at Newcastle at home, and all
0:22:20 > 0:22:24the talk was that he would play ahead of you. Did that galvanise
0:22:24 > 0:22:28you, make you more determined to perform well? That was your best
0:22:28 > 0:22:35game up to that point. Unfortunately, as you know, only one
0:22:35 > 0:22:40of us can play, but whenever there is competition. Some it lifts a
0:22:40 > 0:22:44player's performance, obviously him coming in, I guess it started me off
0:22:44 > 0:22:50on that little run where perhaps I got a few good performances under my
0:22:50 > 0:22:58belt, started to grow, and I have been Brighton's number one bit
0:22:58 > 0:23:02better.The Stoke game was probably the highest point for you at
0:23:02 > 0:23:08Brighton?It was a bit of a funny game to be honest, I didn't really
0:23:08 > 0:23:12have much to do the whole game. There was not shot on target from
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Shaqiri, which was frustrating for a goalkeeper, and then that crazy last
0:23:16 > 0:23:25five minutes happened.Mat Ryan, can he keep it out?! He can, and on the
0:23:25 > 0:23:31rebound he cannot finish! What drama!Obviously, saving a penalty
0:23:31 > 0:23:35is close to the pinnacle moment for any goalkeeper, very nice that I
0:23:35 > 0:23:41could contribute in that moment.All about momentum, undefeated in three
0:23:41 > 0:23:45games, is it the point of the season where you might look back and think,
0:23:45 > 0:23:50that is where it began?Definitely, I guess our relegation rivals at the
0:23:50 > 0:23:55moment, if they beat us today, they would go to the same points as us.
0:23:55 > 0:24:02Focusing on the positives, we are into the quarterfinal of the FA Cup
0:24:02 > 0:24:05as well, so trying to ride that wave at the minute, and we have got
0:24:05 > 0:24:09another massive game this weekend against Swansea, and we are under no
0:24:09 > 0:24:14illusion that it is just because we are at home, views will come. You
0:24:14 > 0:24:18touched on it already, the momentum, Swansea coming unbeaten, Liverpool
0:24:18 > 0:24:23and Arsenal at home, and hopefully we can do what is needed to get
0:24:23 > 0:24:28three points.So the World Cup in Russia, what are the expectations
0:24:28 > 0:24:31going into this World Cup?We are under no illusion that we will have
0:24:31 > 0:24:34to play the three biggest games of our lives if we want to progress in
0:24:34 > 0:24:42the tournament. I wouldn't be a footballer is, you know, I wasn't
0:24:42 > 0:24:45confident in my personal ability and the team that I was playing for,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49that we can be competitive, but saying it and doing it are two
0:24:49 > 0:24:53different things. It will be up to us at crunch time, you know, go and
0:24:53 > 0:25:00walk the walk.Brighton are one of 11 teams, have a look at this,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02involved in a fascinating battle at the bottom.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Kevin, from a Brighton point of view, they are on a bad run, but
0:25:20 > 0:25:25unbeaten in five, which is a really good time to get a bit of
0:25:25 > 0:25:28solidarity, isn't it?It is, and with Mat Ryan, we talked about his
0:25:28 > 0:25:35defensive record, sorry, stopping sides scoring. I will get it out for
0:25:35 > 0:25:40you, don't worry! The defensive record is excellent, you look at
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Duncan and Duffy in front of him, as a back four, very well organised.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Chris Hughton has done a great job from the structure of the side and
0:25:48 > 0:25:53how they stop side scoring against them. It might be about how little
0:25:53 > 0:25:57they concede whether they stay up. Only teams in the top seven have
0:25:57 > 0:26:02conceded fewer goals than Brighton. When you look at Swansea now, how do
0:26:02 > 0:26:07you reflect on your time there? Is it still a frustration to you? That
0:26:07 > 0:26:11he didn't get more of a chance?I look at it in a number of different
0:26:11 > 0:26:17ways. First of all, my period last season when I went in, the team was
0:26:17 > 0:26:21on 12 points, difficult situation, you know, we picked up some great
0:26:21 > 0:26:24results, and in the end maintained our position in the Premier League,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28so a very special time. This season, start of this season, it was clearly
0:26:28 > 0:26:35more frustrating. You know, the club itself, this is the third relegation
0:26:35 > 0:26:40battle that it has been in, and that takes its toll on everybody.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Sometimes, when you change the manager, the players get an
0:26:43 > 0:26:46opportunity to hit the reset button and go again. You know, the team has
0:26:46 > 0:26:53picked up some really good results, you know, particularly the result
0:26:53 > 0:26:55against Liverpool and Arsenal at home. And belief has come back into
0:26:55 > 0:27:00the side, and they are very much playing with confidence.You touched
0:27:00 > 0:27:05on last season, just to drill down into those statistics, you won four
0:27:05 > 0:27:09of your first six games in charge, Manager of the Month in January,
0:27:09 > 0:27:14February? And then short-listed for Manager of the Season as well last
0:27:14 > 0:27:18time round. This is what happened at the end of last season, tremendous
0:27:18 > 0:27:22effort, and yet, within a few months at the start of the next season, you
0:27:22 > 0:27:27are seen as not the right man to take the club forward. I wonder how,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31personally, you reflect on that, not wanting it to damage your own loss
0:27:31 > 0:27:35of the anti-thoughts you have of taking that into the next job you
0:27:35 > 0:27:39are going to go for. -- and the thoughts.Yeah, of course, and this
0:27:39 > 0:27:44is the life of a manager. I have had seven clubs in nine years, this is
0:27:44 > 0:27:49the life of the modern coach, modern manager, that you will have an
0:27:49 > 0:27:53opportunity somewhere for maybe a year, 18 months, two years, and then
0:27:53 > 0:27:59you will move onto the next place. You have to, you know, of course,
0:27:59 > 0:28:04when you lose your job, there is a certain amount of hurt, but then you
0:28:04 > 0:28:08go through a period when you look back in a more logical way at things
0:28:08 > 0:28:12that might have affected you, things that you had control of, things you
0:28:12 > 0:28:16didn't have control of, and you try to take those things in a positive
0:28:16 > 0:28:20way for experiences that you have in the future. I mean, I had a great
0:28:20 > 0:28:25experience at Swansea, I liked the players a lot, the chairman, Huw
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Jenkins, passionate fans, and I really hope they do well - I have no
0:28:29 > 0:28:33bad feeling about what happened there, another experience in my
0:28:33 > 0:28:37journey.When you go in, you are under so much pressure and scrutiny,
0:28:37 > 0:28:41how you set the side up from the defensive structure, yes, but you
0:28:41 > 0:28:47had Gylfi Sigurdsson to provide something different for you, you had
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Jack Cork, big personalities and big players, so was that the difference
0:28:51 > 0:28:54from last season, that you have lost big players and you couldn't replace
0:28:54 > 0:28:58them with maybe players at that sort of calibre to take you forward? Was
0:28:58 > 0:29:02that the difference for you as well? Maybe, it is always difficult to
0:29:02 > 0:29:07say. If you knew the answers and they were easy solutions, you do
0:29:07 > 0:29:13them. Often in management, it is a very complex situation, you are
0:29:13 > 0:29:20dealing with a lot of different moving parts. Clearly, Gylfi
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente were key players in the squad last
0:29:23 > 0:29:28season. But they went, we got replacements in - for different
0:29:28 > 0:29:33reasons, some worked initially, some of those didn't. When I look back at
0:29:33 > 0:29:36the results, the actual results that we had were very, very close. I
0:29:36 > 0:29:42think eight games out of the 12, 11 or 12 that I lost would just by one
0:29:42 > 0:29:47goal. The margins are so fine.With those margins in mind, I don't want
0:29:47 > 0:29:51is a social media is to blame for everything, but eight managers gone
0:29:51 > 0:29:54in the Premier League already, does the modern-day obsession with social
0:29:54 > 0:29:58media contribute to somebody like you and other managers losing their
0:29:58 > 0:30:04jobs? Because clubs panicked?
0:30:04 > 0:30:09I would like to think that owners and chairmen are not affected by
0:30:09 > 0:30:15that but the power of social media, the media in general, it has an
0:30:15 > 0:30:19effect on the fans and repercussions that go through the football club.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23In terms of my own position when I first went to the club I did very
0:30:23 > 0:30:29well but one thing, I did not think I was the greatest manager and did
0:30:29 > 0:30:33not get too excited. At the same time I lost my job I do not all of a
0:30:33 > 0:30:38sudden think I'm the worst manager. That is how you're scene sometimes,
0:30:38 > 0:30:42and it is the same with players going from there today. It is
0:30:42 > 0:30:48important to keep that middle ground in these situations.More about your
0:30:48 > 0:30:53future later. But onto another whopper at the foot of the table,
0:30:53 > 0:30:58bottom side West Brom and 17th placed Huddersfield. John Motson is
0:30:58 > 0:31:06at the Hawthorns. Bring us up to date, how are West Brom preparing
0:31:06 > 0:31:12for this today?Well the sun is shining and I think the programme,
0:31:12 > 0:31:17has he got a sense of humour or sense of destiny? The front cover
0:31:17 > 0:31:25today reflects the in 2005 when Albion survived on the last day the
0:31:25 > 0:31:28season, do you remember, with Bryan Robson as manager. Some people here
0:31:28 > 0:31:33think it could go down to the wire again this season. Well you are fed
0:31:33 > 0:31:36back to the last fortnight and it has been turbulent at the Hawthorns.
0:31:36 > 0:31:43Sackings at top level, chief executive Gong, German gone.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Original chief executive Mark Jenkins who had a good combination
0:31:46 > 0:31:53with the old chairman, he is back now. In addition to that upheaval
0:31:53 > 0:31:56the Barcelona incident, I understand that has been dealt with internally
0:31:56 > 0:32:01now. Jonny Evans captain again today. And then of course Alan
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Pardew, his position. Having thought about that and yesterday he said in
0:32:05 > 0:32:11his press Conference, I have a bag and a half packs. Albion might think
0:32:11 > 0:32:16about making a change again, he has only been here since November and do
0:32:16 > 0:32:20they really want to go through the whole process again, the Chinese
0:32:20 > 0:32:28owners? Alan Pardew, his record here is not great but look at the record
0:32:28 > 0:32:34of West Brom over the last 12 months, not just Alan Pardew but
0:32:34 > 0:32:39Tony Pulis as well. One win in 25 in the Premier League and only three in
0:32:39 > 0:32:4636. Almost a whole season. So you could see the dilemma and understand
0:32:46 > 0:32:51why this is more than just your average six pointer. Huddersfield
0:32:51 > 0:32:55themselves of course need points. But this is West Brom desperately
0:32:55 > 0:33:00needing to perform in front of their own supporters today. I'm not a
0:33:00 > 0:33:05geologist but people tell me that the Hawthorns is the highest ground
0:33:05 > 0:33:10above sea level in the whole of the country. If that protects this clap
0:33:10 > 0:33:14from fire and flood all well and good. But I tell you what if they do
0:33:14 > 0:33:18not win today there is nasty waters of relegation is lapping around
0:33:18 > 0:33:27their ankles.Magnificent, thank you very much. Geology, geography, facts
0:33:27 > 0:33:33as well. Well if Huddersfield stay up this season, with the players
0:33:33 > 0:33:37they have, that could be one of the great Premier League achievements.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Right up with the best and until a few weeks ago, the last game against
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Bournemouth, you are thinking they're going to go again but
0:33:44 > 0:33:47another great performance than against Bournemouth and right back
0:33:47 > 0:33:52in it. A huge game today. I feel West Brom need to win today to stay
0:33:52 > 0:33:55up.And you can
0:33:55 > 0:33:56see how it
0:33:56 > 0:33:58unfolds.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01You can see how it all unfolds at the bottom over the course
0:34:01 > 0:34:02of the afternoon on Final Score.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Big day of sport.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06That's followed by the Calcutta Cup clash at Murrayfield -
0:34:06 > 0:34:07not to be missed.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Match of the Day will round everything up at 10 30 tonight.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13And after a couple of crackers last weekend, there's more live FA Cup
0:34:13 > 0:34:16football on Tuesday as Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday fight it out
0:34:16 > 0:34:17for a place in the Quarter Finals.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Before that Sunday's match of the day features Tottenham's
0:34:19 > 0:34:21trip to Crystal Palace, and a rather enticing
0:34:21 > 0:34:22one at Old Trafford.
0:34:22 > 0:34:28Manchester United and Chelsea need each other for the first time since
0:34:28 > 0:34:34all that verbal jousting between the managers.Because I do not behave as
0:34:34 > 0:34:41a cloud on the touchline I have lost my passion? You do not have to act
0:34:41 > 0:34:47crazy to have the passion.Maybe he was speaking about himself.Yes I
0:34:47 > 0:34:52made mistakes in the past. What ever happened to me is to be suspended
0:34:52 > 0:35:02from matches.He was a little man in the past, he is a little man in the
0:35:02 > 0:35:07present and maybe he will be a little man in the future.Then he
0:35:07 > 0:35:17insulted me for a second time. But now I am content. And Premy content
0:35:17 > 0:35:25means end of the story. This is not a problem for the club, it is a
0:35:25 > 0:35:39problem between me and him. I will not forget this.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52It was two draws in two very different Champions League games for
0:35:52 > 0:35:57these two. A late one from Lionel Messi Fort Hood Chelsea while
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Manchester United had David De Gea to thank for their stalemate in
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Seville. You have faced both those men in the opposition dugout. They
0:36:05 > 0:36:09both tried to play down that kind of fiery debate they had a few weeks
0:36:09 > 0:36:16ago. What are they like to go toe to toe with?For me it was a great
0:36:16 > 0:36:21experience to go up against those clubs and those managers. At Chelsea
0:36:21 > 0:36:25when I worked in the Academy Jose Mourinho was the manager and I got
0:36:25 > 0:36:28to know him briefly and always enjoyed watching his training.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34Intrigued by him as a personality. A couple of times I've come up against
0:36:34 > 0:36:40Antonio and Chelsea. Both winners, both very determined characters.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45Antonio very passionate on the sidelines. Jose Mourinho a little
0:36:45 > 0:36:50bit calmer these days. A bit of a war of words going on between them.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54I'm going to the game tomorrow and look forward to seeing the match of
0:36:54 > 0:37:01course. I'm sure that will be quite frosty.A lot of talk as well about
0:37:01 > 0:37:07Paul Pogba, ill last week, dropped in midweek, Jose Mourinho says
0:37:07 > 0:37:11players need to end his trust. Where are Manchester United with Paul
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Pogba at the minute?Jose Mourinho not have all -- not happy with the
0:37:15 > 0:37:19role he has been playing, just look at the substitutions against
0:37:19 > 0:37:25Tottenham, Newcastle.Fans could say he has not been playing in the right
0:37:25 > 0:37:29place.I think with the way he has come through he should be able to
0:37:29 > 0:37:33play a disciplined role and play from the base, midfield and
0:37:33 > 0:37:39necessary for that I think he is playing may be left of the three
0:37:39 > 0:37:45midfield and sometimes I think modern-day, with tactics you need to
0:37:45 > 0:37:50adjust and play in a different way. Maybe he needs to learn what Jose
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Mourinho wants from him. But whatever has happened between them,
0:37:53 > 0:38:00and something has been broken between them, and this needs to be
0:38:00 > 0:38:04sorted quickly. Because it could go on and on and then that fracture
0:38:04 > 0:38:11that has happened is beyond repair. If Paul Pogba was to star for
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Manchester United, and again he was great midweek and proved his worth
0:38:13 > 0:38:19in recent games. 26 games for Chelsea this season and half of them
0:38:19 > 0:38:24as a substitute. But he can be a matchwinner.He was fantastic
0:38:24 > 0:38:29against Barcelona the other night. Scored a crucial goal. Looked strong
0:38:29 > 0:38:34and powerful. In other games I've seen before, he is a talent. I
0:38:34 > 0:38:40remember him at Schachter Donetsk, a matchwinner. I'm surprised looking
0:38:40 > 0:38:43back those statistics that he has not been a more regular starter in
0:38:43 > 0:38:53team. Along with one of the others, Pedro or Morata.I think that is the
0:38:53 > 0:38:57way to do it because Eden Hazard the other night, he was not in the game
0:38:57 > 0:39:09enough. Well Jose Mourinho got a bit of grief this week. He would say his
0:39:09 > 0:39:11style of football is not appreciated. But does he have more
0:39:11 > 0:39:17pressure put on him because of the way that city are playing, the
0:39:17 > 0:39:20number of goals Liverpool are scoring. It might go through and be
0:39:20 > 0:39:25successful but not, is that the style of football thing cause
0:39:25 > 0:39:30issues.Possibly with Manchester City doing so well just up the road
0:39:30 > 0:39:34and playing such an attractive style. Jose Mourinho has know-how,
0:39:34 > 0:39:43he knows how to get the job done. Inter, they went all the way and
0:39:43 > 0:39:51took the trophy not playing very attractive football.Also tomorrow
0:39:51 > 0:39:56the League Cup final at Wembley between Manchester City and Arsenal.
0:39:56 > 0:40:03A first outing for Pep Guardiola and his side since that Wigan wobble.
0:40:04 > 0:40:11Do Wigan have any chance of achieving their goal tonight?
0:40:11 > 0:40:19achieving their goal tonight? Away we go.
0:40:19 > 0:40:27we go. Will Grigg, he might not need it! It is Fabian Delph, all kicking
0:40:27 > 0:40:34off. The debate goes on between the two managers. Nice little backheel.
0:40:34 > 0:40:41City starting to wrap it up now. Great goal in! Here is will Grigg.
0:40:41 > 0:40:50He has scored! I do not believe it! They have knocked out the best side
0:40:50 > 0:40:56in the land. City, daydream of four is no war.
0:40:56 > 0:41:04That was a great game. And one of the field story, Pep Guardiola has
0:41:04 > 0:41:07been charged for wearing a political message, specifically the yellow
0:41:07 > 0:41:11ribbon, by the Football Association Vostok he said in November that he
0:41:11 > 0:41:16was wearing the ribbon to support imprisoned politicians in his native
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Catalonia. He has until a week on Monday to respond. So looking for
0:41:20 > 0:41:24his first trophy in English football. You spent some time with
0:41:24 > 0:41:31him week. How do they bounce back from Wigan and look at this Cup
0:41:31 > 0:41:36Final against Arsenal?I'm sure they will bounce back positively. That is
0:41:36 > 0:41:40what you have to do after a tough victory. They were competing in four
0:41:40 > 0:41:44trophies and now it is down to three, the focus will be on the
0:41:44 > 0:41:49final. A great chance I think in the Champions League. And in a dominant
0:41:49 > 0:41:54position in the Premier League. So pretty unravelled this week? It was
0:41:54 > 0:41:59a pleasure for me to go in there and see them training and spend a bit of
0:41:59 > 0:42:03time with Pep Guardiola afterwards. Someone I admire a lot. Going back
0:42:03 > 0:42:08to last season, Arsenal beat Manchester City in the semifinal.
0:42:08 > 0:42:14Where do you think this game will be one of lost. In terms of the games
0:42:14 > 0:42:20city have lost this season, Liverpool pressed them higher. What
0:42:20 > 0:42:27to think Arsenal will do?Arsenal just change the system, going to
0:42:27 > 0:42:30back three and now they're playing recently with the back four. I think
0:42:30 > 0:42:36playing, as they did the other night, they could seriously
0:42:36 > 0:42:41struggle. I think changes will come in. Arsene Wenger does not
0:42:41 > 0:42:47necessarily set his side up to defend. At some time in the game
0:42:47 > 0:42:52they will try to press, they have quality in behind. But the way city
0:42:52 > 0:42:57played, they did not change their style of play going down to ten men.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01I think they will have just a little bit too much for them. If and when
0:43:01 > 0:43:08Arsenal do go to press them.On the city side of things, spending time
0:43:08 > 0:43:14with Pep Guardiola, they've already won the league so no anticipation
0:43:14 > 0:43:18for their side. But do they see the Champions League is the real test of
0:43:18 > 0:43:22whether they are one of the best sides in Europe this season?They're
0:43:22 > 0:43:26fighting on all fronts and they did that until the other night in the FA
0:43:26 > 0:43:30Cup as well. The focus is not to deliver that trophy on Sunday. A
0:43:30 > 0:43:34great position in the Premier League. In the Champions League they
0:43:34 > 0:43:41have the ability, no question, to go far. The form they are in, that
0:43:41 > 0:43:45suggests they could go far. The question would be about Manchester
0:43:45 > 0:43:48City, can they go to the latter stages and handle the big games
0:43:48 > 0:43:53against the teams that had been their year in and year out over the
0:43:53 > 0:43:59past five or six seasons. Juventus, Barcelona, Bayern Munich. That's a
0:43:59 > 0:44:02different thing that they have not really been through. And canny deal
0:44:02 > 0:44:12with the mental side of the game. Knowing the way to win. So Arsenal,
0:44:12 > 0:44:1927 points behind Manchester City in the league. So time to hear from the
0:44:19 > 0:44:22former Manchester City man who left the Etihad for Borussia Dortmund at
0:44:22 > 0:44:28the start of the season. 17-year-old Jadon Sancho has been telling Simon
0:44:28 > 0:44:36Stone all about life in the Bundesliga.
0:44:36 > 0:44:41I know one thing for certain.
0:44:41 > 0:44:47I know one thing for certain. Better keep your eyes lurking.
0:44:48 > 0:44:58I learnt in a good way, how to say thank you. Are you enjoying life in
0:44:58 > 0:45:03Dortmund? I love it, nice and relaxed. It is what I wanted from
0:45:03 > 0:45:08the start. Just to focus on football. There's a real mix out
0:45:08 > 0:45:15here. When I train I go home then and just relax. Anything you miss?
0:45:15 > 0:45:20My mum and her cooking.
0:45:20 > 0:45:25In terms of coming to Dortmund, they made a big statement in giving you
0:45:25 > 0:45:28that number seven shirt. When did they tell you they were going to
0:45:28 > 0:45:32give you it?On the day, you have got number seven. I was like, yeah,
0:45:32 > 0:45:37please. It shows the club as big faith in me from the start. But the
0:45:37 > 0:45:42number didn't really faze me, it was just coming here and proving myself
0:45:42 > 0:45:49to everyone.What is the aim?First team, that is what I have wanted all
0:45:49 > 0:45:52my life, playing in front of the yellow wall, it is a dream come
0:45:52 > 0:45:58true. I remember watching Dortmund in the Champions League, seeing
0:45:58 > 0:46:06everyone, now it is happening. It is mad, you know?You went to Watford,
0:46:06 > 0:46:09then moving to Manchester, then another country altogether. These
0:46:09 > 0:46:15are major steps for a young person. At first, it was difficult, when I
0:46:15 > 0:46:20left home and I went to Watford. But then I got used to it, because I
0:46:20 > 0:46:24lived in digs, I got used to my family not being there. I think that
0:46:24 > 0:46:31has helped me Midge Ure. It is a long journey I have been on. But
0:46:31 > 0:46:33this is the sacrifice you have to make to get here. You have got to do
0:46:33 > 0:46:39what you have got to do.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45what you have got to do.The party can begin now! Under 17 World Cup
0:46:45 > 0:46:53for England!When we won the World Cup, I was not there due to them
0:46:53 > 0:47:00calling me back, but it felt nice. Everybody wants to play for their
0:47:00 > 0:47:06country, that is one of the biggest things if you play football. But
0:47:06 > 0:47:13yeah, the group is really special, the question now is will we keep
0:47:13 > 0:47:19that up? It is down to us, really. Have you thought, if I can stay in
0:47:19 > 0:47:23the borough sea Dortmund side, there is even an outside chance I could
0:47:23 > 0:47:34end up at the World Cup?Honestly, I don't know! It is a big one
0:47:34 > 0:47:39obviously, I would be
0:47:40 > 0:47:45obviously, I would be honoured, I would happily go to the World Cup if
0:47:45 > 0:47:50they picked me, but I haven't thought about it.You see me very
0:47:50 > 0:47:57happy person.I am a happy person, I just miss my mum's cookingeverybody
0:47:57 > 0:48:01misses their mum's cooking! You have seen a bit of him, he is some
0:48:01 > 0:48:07talent. I saw him play in the youth cup
0:48:07 > 0:48:12semifinals against Stoke, and he is an incredible talent, right side of
0:48:12 > 0:48:16players on the left wing, all the tricks of maybe an early Cristiano
0:48:16 > 0:48:21Ronaldo, the ability to beat players and go both ways. Yeah, certainly
0:48:21 > 0:48:26one that City will be gutted to have lost, but we will see how he
0:48:26 > 0:48:31develops in Dortmund, certainly a talent.It is exciting, but quite a
0:48:31 > 0:48:36few young players playing in Germany at the moment, learning so much,
0:48:36 > 0:48:41expanding their cultural horizons as well. It can only be good for the
0:48:41 > 0:48:47game, can't it?Absolutely, and with what England have done at under 17
0:48:47 > 0:48:50and under 20 level, some of those big talents going out to experience
0:48:50 > 0:48:54football in Europe, it is a good experience for them and the national
0:48:54 > 0:49:01team moving forward.Take us back to a young de Bruyne, taking on the
0:49:01 > 0:49:12number seven shirt, understanding about the yellow wall. -- Kilbane.I
0:49:12 > 0:49:16didn't know anything about German football, nothing about La Liga,
0:49:16 > 0:49:22just Premier League football, so I remember Brian Deane scoring for
0:49:22 > 0:49:26Sheffield United! I wouldn't have a clue about the yellow wall! It shows
0:49:26 > 0:49:30the cultural changes, the young players developing, watching all
0:49:30 > 0:49:33European football, all European leagues, they know everything about
0:49:33 > 0:49:41the big clubs.You spent plenty of time abroad, do you think it is the
0:49:41 > 0:49:44same for the managerial point of view, you have so much more to draw
0:49:44 > 0:49:48on when you get your next job in football?It gives you great
0:49:48 > 0:49:51experience, widens your knowledge of football across Europe. It is great
0:49:51 > 0:49:56to see someone like that, very brave and courageous to go and play in a
0:49:56 > 0:49:59foreign country where the language is different, the culture is
0:49:59 > 0:50:02different, he will earn a commend this amount and become a better
0:50:02 > 0:50:08player, but he will develop a lot of great life skills as well.I'm sure
0:50:08 > 0:50:11there's mum sends some food over as well and Michael Neville has named
0:50:11 > 0:50:19his first as England women's manager. -- fill
0:50:23 > 0:50:29manager. -- fill Phil Neville. Casey Stoney will be joining his backroom
0:50:29 > 0:50:37staff. England start their campaign on Thursday against France.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40on Thursday against France. We will hear from the England camp next
0:50:40 > 0:50:44week. Fulham are the form team in the Championship, unbeaten in 11,
0:50:44 > 0:50:49they have won seven in a row at home. They are in the play-off spot
0:50:49 > 0:50:53at the moment, and tonight they take on Wolves. Time for a visit from
0:50:53 > 0:51:02Clem. Well, first things first, we are
0:51:02 > 0:51:05talking you about 16 hours after the final whistle, the draw at Ashton
0:51:05 > 0:51:11Gate. Are you not tired out? Are you not knackered? You have been in for
0:51:11 > 0:51:17three or four hours already.We're pretty tired.Just a Hazard of the
0:51:17 > 0:51:21job, the boss is so meticulous, he has got everything he wants to do
0:51:21 > 0:51:27with you mapped out, it doesn't matter what time you arrive home?
0:51:27 > 0:51:31Yeah, we just cannot follow along and do what we are told.The look
0:51:31 > 0:51:34you gave me suggested what I feel looking at the gaffer, truly
0:51:34 > 0:51:40terrified! He has got that look, hasn't he?Quite a cold look,
0:51:40 > 0:51:45strict, I know what you mean.It is intense.More intense than cold.
0:51:45 > 0:51:54When you look at your team, what do you see?
0:51:54 > 0:51:58you see?We are more confident, we know but each other, we trust each
0:51:58 > 0:52:03other more, we are more competitive right now.To think you will be
0:52:03 > 0:52:08promoted this season?I don't know, I'm talking only about the next
0:52:08 > 0:52:16game, I believe we can win against Wolves, it is a fantastic test for
0:52:16 > 0:52:27us. We will see where we finish with the points.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31the points.27 points from the last possible 33, it is a phenomenal
0:52:31 > 0:52:36model.Is that all we have?!I thought it was more, to be honest
0:52:36 > 0:52:46with you! I think we go into every match thinking, you know, I wouldn't
0:52:46 > 0:52:51say unbeatable, but very close to that. You know, confidence is key in
0:52:51 > 0:52:55this division, and you put a few good results together and it just
0:52:55 > 0:53:01snowballs, and teams start to fear you, and that is what we are
0:53:01 > 0:53:10starting to achieve, talking about relegation six pointer is, these are
0:53:10 > 0:53:16all promotion six-pointers. We usually thrive under pressure.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19Everybody thrives under this pressure? The dressing room is made
0:53:19 > 0:53:26up of a mix of personalities, is it? Of course, I think the next couple
0:53:26 > 0:53:34of weeks, whether we can catch second or not...Do you think
0:53:34 > 0:53:38automatic is a possibility?It is definitely a possibility, I don't
0:53:38 > 0:53:43see why not, 27 out of 33, initial space of time it is a possibility,
0:53:43 > 0:53:47but in the next couple of weeks we will literally know what the
0:53:47 > 0:53:53situation is. So to have fresh legs going into the end of the season,
0:53:53 > 0:53:58which I don't think we had last season at all, is key.I was
0:53:58 > 0:54:03distracted before my final question, he was looking at his phone, he was
0:54:03 > 0:54:09going to walk through the shot until somebody told him! Are you OK? No
0:54:09 > 0:54:15problem, you are all right, that is great, fantastic! I want a sentence
0:54:15 > 0:54:19or a word to define the feeling in your dressing room.Buzzing.
0:54:19 > 0:54:25Confidence.Fantastic. The only thing you are not ready for is a
0:54:25 > 0:54:32trip to London Fashion Week. I have got to show you, with the best will
0:54:32 > 0:54:39in the world, mate!It is comfy! Great to see you both.
0:54:39 > 0:54:48Only acceptable in the club, socks and sandals. What about that stare?!
0:54:48 > 0:54:51Clem was frightened to death, he wanted Dumoulin walk out of shot!
0:54:51 > 0:54:57Terrifying. Are you working on your managerial state?You need to look
0:54:57 > 0:55:01like that sometimes, keep them on their toes!I didn't realise you
0:55:01 > 0:55:07spent so long at the Fulham academy. Seven years.They have timed their
0:55:07 > 0:55:11run really well, I know they are taking on the best side in the
0:55:11 > 0:55:16division tonight, but you see them as having a real chance of going up?
0:55:16 > 0:55:21Absolutely, and that is the key, 13 games to go. If you can find the
0:55:21 > 0:55:27momentum at the right time, you can shoot out that lead. It is looking
0:55:27 > 0:55:32like Wolves will go number one, then one of the others, Aston Villa are
0:55:32 > 0:55:38strong, experienced in Steve Bruce. Derby are pushing, Cardiff, all
0:55:38 > 0:55:42experienced sides. Fulham would be a good bet, even if it is for the
0:55:42 > 0:55:46play-offs.I know you saw Wolves last week, but we have to mention
0:55:46 > 0:55:51Sunderland, one of your former sides. A horrible start, in 1985
0:55:51 > 0:55:57Wolves went from the top tier, the bottom of the top tier, down, bottom
0:55:57 > 0:55:59of the second tier, and Sunderland could be the first time to do that
0:55:59 > 0:56:04since Wolves.It is not looking good at all. Interesting seeing Chris
0:56:04 > 0:56:09Coleman this week, he was talking about the whole picture at the
0:56:09 > 0:56:14football club, talking about Ellis Short, what Ellis Short, maybe his
0:56:14 > 0:56:19reluctance to really care about the club, he said, look, we all care
0:56:19 > 0:56:23about the club, but really the guy at the helm, this is what he is
0:56:23 > 0:56:27alluding to, this guy does not care what is best for the club. It has
0:56:27 > 0:56:32been one mess after another. What Chris Coleman is suffering now, that
0:56:32 > 0:56:35has gone from Simon Grayson, Martin O'Neill, David Moyes, a lot of
0:56:35 > 0:56:39managers before him.Are you sure you want to go back into
0:56:39 > 0:56:43management?! Hearing all that! You have put yourself through some
0:56:43 > 0:56:48punishment. As soon as possible? Weighing things up?I am ready to
0:56:48 > 0:56:52go, I have got energy and enthusiasm. You know, I am just
0:56:52 > 0:56:57waiting for the right opportunity. Listen, great to have your the
0:56:57 > 0:56:59programme, fascinating insights on loads programmes. Kevin Connolly
0:56:59 > 0:57:05always nice to spend the day with you. We will be back on BBC One, and
0:57:05 > 0:57:09we will be on the iPlayer if you have just switched over from the
0:57:09 > 0:57:13Olympics. We will leave you with predictions from two of Hollywood's
0:57:13 > 0:57:18finest, Allison Janney, not sure how much she knows about football, and
0:57:18 > 0:57:24Fulham van Margot Robbie. Thanks for watching, so UNIX week. -- see you
0:57:24 > 0:57:26next week.
0:57:26 > 0:57:27When you say football, you mean soccer?
0:57:27 > 0:57:35Soccer!
0:57:36 > 0:57:41Everyone has their own truth... I play Tonya Harding.I play her
0:57:41 > 0:57:47mother.It is a film about her life, you see from the age of four to 44,
0:57:47 > 0:57:57and everything that transpired in 1994, the incident!We also judge on
0:57:57 > 0:58:03presentation. Her life is messy, corrugated, tragic, funny.And it
0:58:03 > 0:58:09has a great soundtrack! I pledge my allegiance to Fulham, I want them to
0:58:09 > 0:58:13win.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15I'll say Brighton, cos of the Aussie love.
0:58:15 > 0:58:162-0 to Brighton.
0:58:16 > 0:58:24To Brighton, OK.
0:58:24 > 0:58:31That score will be 4-4. That will be an exciting game!
0:58:31 > 0:58:34Oh, that is going to be a good game! Manchester versus, um...
0:58:34 > 0:58:38Chelsea.
0:58:38 > 0:58:46I think I'm going to go with Man United.
0:58:49 > 0:59:01I am going to go with Arsenal all the way, 3-2.3-0?
