It is absolutely brilliant. This is absolutely fantastic. History boys

:00:19.:00:36.

indeed. They have won the cup. He has done it! Leicester City football

:00:37.:00:49.

club has tonight parted ways with its manager. He masterminded one of

:00:50.:00:55.

sport's greatest miracles. The euphoria has evaporated. They are

:00:56.:01:01.

flirting with relegation. The man who achieved the dream has been

:01:02.:01:06.

dismissed. I shed a tear for cloudier, I shed a tear for football

:01:07.:01:10.

After the euphoria of last season and being crowned Premier League

:01:11.:01:15.

champions all I dreamt of was staying with Leicester City,

:01:16.:01:18.

Leicester this week sacked Claudio Ranieri.

:01:19.:01:24.

What does this tell us about modern football?

:01:25.:01:30.

This is what's coming up on Football Focus.

:01:31.:01:33.

Where did it all go wrong for the champions?

:01:34.:01:41.

I think they should be building statues to him, not sacking him.

:01:42.:01:48.

Big Sam on leaving England and keeping Palace

:01:49.:01:51.

There have been mooted rumours that I have come back to early. That is

:01:52.:01:58.

Fraser Forster is preparing for the League Cup final

:01:59.:02:02.

They are calling you the albatross arms and the football gods are with

:02:03.:02:12.

I didn't know anyone who could do it.

:02:13.:02:23.

Plenty to discuss with these two, Jermaine Jenas alongside

:02:24.:02:25.

It's the story which is still making the headlines.

:02:26.:02:35.

This morning he paused briefly on his way out. Our cameras were there.

:02:36.:02:45.

I don't speak with anybody, just to say thank you to the fans, they were

:02:46.:02:51.

fantastic. How are you feeling now? Do you feel good? Yes, because of

:02:52.:02:59.

what we achieved in Leicester. I hope it happens again, but it will

:03:00.:03:04.

be very difficult. Was it emotional with the players? No, it was normal.

:03:05.:03:10.

Hopefully we will hear from Kasper Schmeichel before the end of the

:03:11.:03:12.

For the fifth straight season the manager who has won the Premier

:03:13.:03:16.

League has left the champions before the end of the following season!

:03:17.:03:19.

This time the victim was Claudio Ranieri.

:03:20.:03:24.

Leicester can fight the biggest. Believe and the dream is a reality.

:03:25.:03:40.

The fans are dreaming. Keep dreaming. Why wake up?

:03:41.:03:53.

Leicester City, the first reigning champions to lose their first game

:03:54.:04:04.

of the next season since 1989. It has just not been Leicester's day.

:04:05.:04:11.

Claudio Ranieri's champions are dismissed. I think they are

:04:12.:04:14.

embarrassing. How far they have fallen is absolutely shocking. And

:04:15.:04:21.

Leicester City concede four golds on the road in the Premier League for

:04:22.:04:27.

the second match in a row. They are in serious trouble now. They cannot

:04:28.:04:34.

win a game to save their lives. They could be in a full-blown relegation

:04:35.:04:39.

battle. Leicester's miserable form continues. We are hearing rumours of

:04:40.:04:43.

internal fighting. When these stories come out, you realise there

:04:44.:04:49.

is a problem. It has been a fall for the champions. How far will they

:04:50.:04:54.

drop? It is a long way back for Leicester now. Leicester City have

:04:55.:05:02.

sacked their manager. They triumphed last season, but today they

:05:03.:05:09.

dismissed him. Gary Lineker has called the club's decision

:05:10.:05:11.

inexplicable, unforgivable and gut wrenchingly sad. You cannot just put

:05:12.:05:18.

aside and forget what was achieved last season. In many ways he has

:05:19.:05:23.

been the victim of his own success. Last season was the inexplicable

:05:24.:05:29.

one, not this season. The fact he gave Leicester so much, he made the

:05:30.:05:34.

whole country get behind him. They should be building statues to him,

:05:35.:05:35.

not sacking him. They went for the full godfather

:05:36.:05:48.

drama. He has gone back to Italy. A lot of people have had their say on

:05:49.:05:53.

this. What does it tell us about the man, the players, about football in

:05:54.:05:59.

general? What he has achieved was beyond football. It was a dream that

:06:00.:06:06.

him and the players went through and managed to achieve. That is why

:06:07.:06:11.

there has been this huge uproar in the game and for the managers as

:06:12.:06:15.

well who we have seen this week. I suppose we all kind of know that

:06:16.:06:20.

football is a brutal sport. But when you saw things that happened with

:06:21.:06:26.

Leicester last year, I don't think you expect people like Claudio

:06:27.:06:28.

Ranieri to be sacked in these moments. If you go back to the first

:06:29.:06:36.

season in the Premier League under Nigel Pearson, exactly this age of

:06:37.:06:40.

the season they were rock bottom with 17 points and they finished 14.

:06:41.:06:45.

Claudio Ranieri comes in and wins the league and it is the biggest

:06:46.:06:50.

story ever and it will be for ever in the Premier League. The problem

:06:51.:06:55.

is he has raised the expectation up there. Do you reckon if last year

:06:56.:06:59.

they had not won and they finished tenth or 11th they would be sacking

:07:00.:07:06.

him? I would say no. That is a fair point, but if they feel that they

:07:07.:07:12.

are in serious trouble, and four of the bottom six have changed

:07:13.:07:16.

managers, why are they not able to make that change if they fear there

:07:17.:07:23.

is a chance of going down? The point is people think he deserves the

:07:24.:07:26.

opportunity to fight for his team, to be the one who keeps them up. He

:07:27.:07:30.

is the one who led them to the title, so he should help them stay

:07:31.:07:36.

up. It isn't working at Crystal Palace. People think he deserved

:07:37.:07:41.

that opportunity to get them out of the situation they are in. It is a

:07:42.:07:48.

story of the tail wagging the dog. You cannot sack all the players.

:07:49.:07:52.

Eventually the managers go, but the players have to seriously look at

:07:53.:07:57.

themselves. Understandably and there has been plenty of support for

:07:58.:08:00.

Claudio Ranieri right across the game. All the Leicester fans are

:08:01.:08:08.

really upset about it, they were not expecting it. Terrible, shocking,

:08:09.:08:12.

unbelievable. Astonished. Disappointed. I am really sad for

:08:13.:08:18.

him, it is a disappointing day for managers all round. There have been

:08:19.:08:28.

a few strange decisions in 2016, 2017, Brexit, Donald Trump, Claudio

:08:29.:08:34.

Ranieri. When I was a champion it was a giant, negative thing. Now I

:08:35.:08:40.

realise the spirit of Claudio Ranieri. I blame the players, not

:08:41.:08:49.

him. The players should have given 100%. Instead of thinking about the

:08:50.:08:54.

money and the rewards, we would not have been in this position. People

:08:55.:09:01.

are thinking about new contracts, leaving, more money, people are

:09:02.:09:05.

forgetting who helped them to reach a certain level. You cannot take

:09:06.:09:12.

your foot off the pedal. If you start to get relaxed, it is the

:09:13.:09:15.

worst game in the world for getting a kick up the backside. It is not

:09:16.:09:23.

right for the players to decide if a manager must be sacked or not. It

:09:24.:09:30.

means that the club is poor. All these allegations of falling out

:09:31.:09:34.

with the players and the assistant manager is not fair. When you lose

:09:35.:09:37.

football matches people look for things, some things are possibly not

:09:38.:09:43.

there. My relationship with Claudio Ranieri has been perfectly fine. I

:09:44.:09:46.

have never had a problem with him and he has never made a problem with

:09:47.:09:53.

me. Leicester made history a year ago because they did the most

:09:54.:09:56.

beautiful thing in football history and now they are also in the

:09:57.:10:00.

highlights with a decision that I think has everyone in football

:10:01.:10:06.

United. A lot of the fans, fans all over the world, we have lost them

:10:07.:10:11.

Let's grab a word with the former Leicester captain

:10:12.:10:15.

Matt Elliott who joins us from the city this afternoon.

:10:16.:10:17.

We know that the chairman held a meeting with the players

:10:18.:10:20.

after the Champions League match against Sevilla on Wednesday

:10:21.:10:22.

Have they skewered the man who led them to the title?

:10:23.:10:34.

I think mentions of a mutiny as such are somewhat overcooked and over

:10:35.:10:45.

exaggerated. It seems to me, reading between the lines, that the chairman

:10:46.:10:49.

has spoken to the players and asked for their viewpoint, but I do not

:10:50.:10:53.

think they have gone behind the manager's back and put the knife in

:10:54.:10:58.

as people are reporting. I do not think it is as extreme as that. When

:10:59.:11:02.

you look at the situation as a whole, there probably was discontent

:11:03.:11:06.

or concern from some of the players in certain areas as to the approach

:11:07.:11:15.

and the way Leicester were going ahead and the season. But at the end

:11:16.:11:19.

of the day it is their responsibility as players to follow

:11:20.:11:23.

their leader, Claudio Ranieri, irrespective of whether you believe

:11:24.:11:28.

in his approach or not, you need to do what he instructs you to do and

:11:29.:11:33.

do it collectively. I think it has been somewhat exaggerated the extent

:11:34.:11:36.

to which the players are a guilty party. Loyalty is a question here.

:11:37.:11:42.

Even if Claudio Ranieri had maybe taken his foot off the Gas a little

:11:43.:11:46.

bit like the players, surely you would expect the players to back the

:11:47.:11:52.

manager who won the title last year? Is that fair? The performance I have

:11:53.:11:56.

seen from Leicester City players on the page is a lack of confidence, a

:11:57.:12:01.

lack of belief almost. I have not seen them downing tools or not doing

:12:02.:12:07.

what the manager asks them to do. They are not performing and that

:12:08.:12:11.

happens sometimes. When you talk about loyalty that also goes to your

:12:12.:12:16.

backroom staff. I think managers, when things start going badly in a

:12:17.:12:20.

club, managers need to be able to look behind them and have people to

:12:21.:12:26.

trust. Claudio Ranieri took on Nigel Pearson's people and I am sure at

:12:27.:12:30.

the back end of the season he has felt pretty lonely and not had the

:12:31.:12:33.

support he needed. Is it not the case that the likes of Simpson,

:12:34.:12:42.

Morgan, drink water, Riyadh Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have not been

:12:43.:12:47.

anything like last season as well? Without a doubt, that is fair

:12:48.:12:52.

comment. They have been way off the levels of last season, as has the

:12:53.:12:56.

team in general. There are a number of factors that contribute to this

:12:57.:13:00.

decision being made, Claudio Ranieri being relieved of his duties. The

:13:01.:13:05.

drop off in form has been quite stark to say the least. You expect a

:13:06.:13:13.

lowering of levels, but it is just the degree. All of us than they are

:13:14.:13:17.

looking for reasons why. In my mind the owners have asked questions

:13:18.:13:23.

behind the scenes and they have investigated and I am not so sure

:13:24.:13:27.

they like the answers they were given. They probably felt in their

:13:28.:13:31.

view, rightly or wrongly, that Claudio Ranieri could not get a June

:13:32.:13:37.

out of the players he had brought along and achieved such tremendous

:13:38.:13:41.

glory with last season. All of a sudden the well was running dry.

:13:42.:13:46.

From a calculated or a ruthless point of view they thought the

:13:47.:13:50.

decision needed to be made now rather than later. That is my view

:13:51.:13:58.

on it. Maybe it is just a business decision. The reason why football

:13:59.:14:02.

and football fans are up in arms is because we bought into the story, we

:14:03.:14:06.

loved the fairy tale last season and he was a bit different. When he got

:14:07.:14:12.

the job everybody when, what, Claudio Ranieri? Almost to a man. He

:14:13.:14:19.

has been great for football, but it was a business decision because they

:14:20.:14:23.

are desperate to stay in the Premier League like everyone else. When you

:14:24.:14:28.

talk about a business decision, wherever they are from, a far-flung

:14:29.:14:33.

place in the Globe, they have to have somebody here on a day-to-day

:14:34.:14:38.

basis. Otherwise you would not go and ask the players is there a

:14:39.:14:42.

problem? You need somebody looking after the shop. That conversation

:14:43.:14:47.

needs to be between the owners and the manager, it does not need to go

:14:48.:14:53.

to the players. The players will always go against if the manager is

:14:54.:14:56.

not doing what they want on the training ground. Managers change

:14:57.:15:01.

dietary requirements, training times, they are searching for ways

:15:02.:15:06.

to break the pattern. Players will be going, why are we not doing what

:15:07.:15:10.

we did last year? That is when we won the league. If you ask the

:15:11.:15:16.

players who are in and out of the team, that will not be

:15:17.:15:22.

If Leicester stay up this season, had they made the right decision?

:15:23.:15:30.

Ultimately, yes. We will never know. If Leicester were to stay up under

:15:31.:15:35.

Ranieri's guidance this season. In my mind, I think they will stay up.

:15:36.:15:42.

There was a statement two weeks ago, why have they done that? It has made

:15:43.:15:47.

a rod for their own back. It has helped fuel the fire. The timing of

:15:48.:15:53.

it has prized a lot of people. They will take it from a pragmatic,

:15:54.:15:58.

business sense. Despite everyone's discontent with the decision, and

:15:59.:16:04.

the passion that has been shown and the passion shown by Ranieri, it was

:16:05.:16:10.

looked at in a cold-hearted way and made their decision. Leicester just

:16:11.:16:15.

have to move on. Who do you think might now going now Ranieri has

:16:16.:16:22.

left? It has to be somebody who appreciates it up in a relegation

:16:23.:16:25.

fight and has managed in the Premier League. The bookies are never that

:16:26.:16:35.

far off. Roberto Mancini was mentioned. Martin O'Neill resonates

:16:36.:16:39.

probably pretty well with Leicester City fans. Goes with their history.

:16:40.:16:44.

We were saying we are hopefully going to speak to Kasper Schmeichel

:16:45.:16:47.

at some stage. If we do get it will bring it to you before the end of

:16:48.:16:51.

the programme. You can see highlights

:16:52.:16:57.

of Leicester's first match without Ranieri in Match of the Day

:16:58.:16:59.

2 which this week is on Monday night to take

:17:00.:17:02.

in their game with Liverpool. A little later in Wales

:17:03.:17:05.

and Nothern Ireland. You can listen to that

:17:06.:17:07.

game on 5 Live too. Chelsea could end the day 11

:17:08.:17:19.

points clear at the top They face Swansea

:17:20.:17:22.

at Stamford Bridge. Watford against West Ham

:17:23.:17:27.

is the 5:30pm kick off. Second place Spurs are at

:17:28.:17:29.

home to Stoke tomorrow. A reduced fixture list this weekend

:17:30.:17:32.

because of the EFL Cup final between We've talked about

:17:33.:17:35.

the Monday night game. And a match which could have a big

:17:36.:17:37.

impact on the bottom of the table today is Crystal Palace against

:17:38.:17:41.

Middlesbrough. Both are desperate

:17:42.:17:42.

to avoid the drop. Medium-sized Clem has

:17:43.:17:44.

been to see Big Sam. When you are out of it that you want

:17:45.:17:49.

to get back into the thrill of it. It is the love of the game, I

:17:50.:17:54.

suppose. The game has been your whole life or do you want to come

:17:55.:17:58.

back in and use experience to try to help the club who is in trouble to

:17:59.:18:05.

get out of trouble again. Is there a Sam Allardyce formula for survival?

:18:06.:18:10.

I do not think so. I suppose the formula is reacting to the internal

:18:11.:18:16.

side of the football club, finding out the depth of what we have to do,

:18:17.:18:24.

what the football club needs. You find out with the players, what

:18:25.:18:28.

their strengths and weaknesses are. You then build a system into those

:18:29.:18:32.

players and give them some confidence. Hopefully they will work

:18:33.:18:36.

better as a team to get them out of trouble. 2015 was very poor. I have

:18:37.:18:43.

to get rid of that negativity and move the club forward. I would

:18:44.:18:49.

definitely hope that by now I would have picked up more points. How hard

:18:50.:18:53.

is it to walk in when you have suffered some of the disappointments

:18:54.:18:57.

you have had said you have been here and keep that buoyancy? This gets

:18:58.:19:02.

you over those disappointments. That is why you keep working in football.

:19:03.:19:06.

You are working with a bunch of young people who are committed, even

:19:07.:19:12.

though on the outside world it does not look like that. They are

:19:13.:19:17.

committed and if they try their best they are misguided at the moment.

:19:18.:19:21.

Some of the things you have found shot you. The Sunderland result must

:19:22.:19:28.

have shot to you? Danger here. Jermaine Defoe. 4-0, Sunderland will

:19:29.:19:33.

suck the stuff of nightmares for Crystal Palace and Sam Allardyce.

:19:34.:19:40.

The problem is much deeper than I expected it to be it has gone on for

:19:41.:19:47.

a considerable amount of time. The fantastic team at the end of 2015

:19:48.:19:52.

became a fragile team in 2016 and then became a team that lost its

:19:53.:19:57.

confidence. The simple fact is the club players decided to change the

:19:58.:20:01.

style is somewhat. That became a more attacking style. On the back of

:20:02.:20:07.

that they kept conceding so many goals and could not win a game of

:20:08.:20:10.

football. That is still the case today. The England football manager,

:20:11.:20:17.

Sam Allardyce, has lost his job after just one match in Taj of the

:20:18.:20:24.

national team. He accepted he had made a significant error of

:20:25.:20:28.

judgment. -- in charge. As you emerge out of the dark days of late

:20:29.:20:33.

summer, was there any danger of not coming back in the game? I do not

:20:34.:20:40.

think so. I do not think I could have left it there and not come

:20:41.:20:49.

back, I don't think. Nothing to do with anybody else, just personally,

:20:50.:20:53.

I would not want to have entered what has been a great life for me to

:20:54.:20:58.

end in that dark moment. As difficult as it was, at the end of

:20:59.:21:02.

the day, I came out of it by looking at the reality of it and realising

:21:03.:21:06.

what that was without going too deeply into it and saying that is

:21:07.:21:12.

over. I am hugely disappointed, obviously. Massively, massively

:21:13.:21:17.

disappointed in how it happened. You have to get over disappointments in

:21:18.:21:26.

life. There have been one macro or two mooted rumours which are far

:21:27.:21:29.

from the truth. Absolute rubbish. I did not have to come back, apart

:21:30.:21:34.

from I wanted to come back. It has to have changed your mindset? It was

:21:35.:21:39.

firmly placed on the record you want the England job. That is no longer

:21:40.:21:43.

an ambition. Life has moved on from that. Are you are very different

:21:44.:21:47.

person from the person who took that job? Don't forget, I have been

:21:48.:21:54.

England manager. I have been. As short in stay as it was, I

:21:55.:21:58.

thoroughly enjoyed every single second of it. I think my time was

:21:59.:22:04.

right. I think I would have enjoyed the journey but that journey got

:22:05.:22:09.

halted through circumstances I cannot talk about now because of the

:22:10.:22:14.

confidentiality side of it. Disappointment should make you

:22:15.:22:17.

stronger and not weaker. You never forget it that you put it to the

:22:18.:22:26.

back of your mind. Is there a danger that people at the club, players,

:22:27.:22:32.

go, Sam is here now, who has never been relegated. It is all going to

:22:33.:22:40.

be all right. I can guide the players, hopefully. What we have to

:22:41.:22:46.

respect more is the point. Do not throw the point away, lads. The

:22:47.:22:50.

other one is do not lose to the teams around you. Now we are in a

:22:51.:22:55.

fight of seven, we have to finish at the top of that table. From

:22:56.:22:59.

Bournemouth downwards is the fight now. Do you fear failure? Of course.

:23:00.:23:05.

Failure would be very difficult to take. I have not failed in the

:23:06.:23:11.

Premier League since I got back in 2001 with Bolton. It is in reality

:23:12.:23:16.

you have to face. I cannot just click my fingers and wave a magic

:23:17.:23:19.

wand. I would truly believe the players are capable. They just have

:23:20.:23:25.

to overcome their fears and produce on the pitch but they know they can.

:23:26.:23:34.

Winning a game of football and the feeling it gives you, that is where

:23:35.:23:38.

the drug lies, the addiction. The adrenaline rush and the achievement

:23:39.:23:42.

and the satisfaction we get out of it is why we do it.

:23:43.:23:49.

Where is the Allardyce bounce? I think you should throw in your

:23:50.:23:58.

statistic. Allardyce at Sunderland? He lost seven of his first ten games

:23:59.:24:04.

at Sunderland and kept them up. Did he really? I had completely

:24:05.:24:08.

forgotten. That is the first time you have ever asked me for a

:24:09.:24:15.

statistic. It is the last. There just is not one at the moment. They

:24:16.:24:20.

have players in that team going forward who can win them games will

:24:21.:24:24.

stop defensively, they are all over the place. They are virtually

:24:25.:24:30.

conceding two goals a game, which is so unlike him. That suggests to me

:24:31.:24:35.

personnel rather than organisation, coaching, setup, anything. To touch

:24:36.:24:41.

on the England side of things, he cannot talk too much about it but he

:24:42.:24:47.

will never get over that, will he? I do not think he would. I do not know

:24:48.:24:51.

how long the exam has been in management. Throughout that process

:24:52.:24:58.

you are working towards the pinnacle. -- Big Sam. He only got to

:24:59.:25:03.

do that for one game. The circumstances were very

:25:04.:25:08.

disappointing for him. It will be something that he probably will

:25:09.:25:14.

never get over. Would it not make you more determined to succeed at

:25:15.:25:19.

Palace question at the last thing you want is to get relegated. He has

:25:20.:25:25.

come back out, is in front of the cameras, in the Premier League. He

:25:26.:25:30.

fronts it up and is trying to keep Premier League survival for Crystal

:25:31.:25:34.

Palace. They go level on points with Middlesbrough today. We have talked

:25:35.:25:40.

about the steely Middlesbrough defence. They have not won for two

:25:41.:25:44.

months. They are also in real bother. When push comes to shove,

:25:45.:25:49.

round about now, you can accept not playing well with what you have to

:25:50.:25:54.

do, you have to nick games. Forget about winning 2- 03- zero.

:25:55.:25:59.

Defensively it suggests they can do that but you worry where the goals

:26:00.:26:04.

will come from. Every year, if you look at the teams who go down. One

:26:05.:26:09.

team does not score enough goals and does not have a recognised

:26:10.:26:13.

goal-scorer. They need to really go on a run of form to keep them in

:26:14.:26:19.

this league. We still have all of this to fit in for you.

:26:20.:26:24.

Gareth Bale has the World Cup in his sights.

:26:25.:26:26.

While Neil Warnock is eyeing promotion.

:26:27.:26:35.

It's 38 years since Southampton's one and only appearance

:26:36.:26:37.

They lost to Nottingham Forest back in 1979.

:26:38.:26:40.

That was nine years before their keeper was born.

:26:41.:26:45.

Fraser Forster has grown quite a bit since then.

:26:46.:26:47.

He's been talking to Rachel Stringer.

:26:48.:26:53.

Fraser, you are a long way from home now, Southampton to the north-east

:26:54.:27:03.

where you grew up. It is fair to say you were not from a traditional

:27:04.:27:09.

north-east football family. Not really. My brothers and my mum and

:27:10.:27:18.

dad have jobs different to football. I think they support me. They

:27:19.:27:26.

shipped me around at weekends to play football on a Saturday and a

:27:27.:27:31.

Sunday. Always very supportive. Now you are in it, your family are more

:27:32.:27:35.

football fans now. They have always supported me. Season tickets at

:27:36.:27:43.

Newcastle. They knew I loved football so much. I would play with

:27:44.:27:48.

my brothers. Every chance we get we would go into the garden when we

:27:49.:27:54.

were home from school. I was glad I was not in an academy from eight

:27:55.:27:58.

years of. Quite glad it has gone that way. Do you think you have to

:27:59.:28:04.

be a different type of person to be a goalkeeper? Do you know what I

:28:05.:28:11.

mean? That is tough. Obviously such a unique position. You experience

:28:12.:28:16.

the highs and lows that a lot of outfield positions do not really

:28:17.:28:22.

feel. You make mistakes. It is all about just getting on with it. When

:28:23.:28:26.

you are younger you beat yourself up and carry it around with you. Now

:28:27.:28:32.

you are disappointed. You just get better at dealing with and find a

:28:33.:28:35.

way of dealing with that works for you. You just move on. The reason I

:28:36.:28:42.

am asking about mistakes is because of your the against Liverpool.

:28:43.:28:49.

Claude it out on the goal-line and Southampton survive. They called you

:28:50.:28:55.

albatross arms and you say the footballing gods were with you. Does

:28:56.:29:02.

an albatross have arms? You fumbled initially. What went through your

:29:03.:29:08.

head? Not a locked, to be fair. I kind of made up for my own mistake.

:29:09.:29:14.

Not often you get to do that in goal. It is just one of those

:29:15.:29:20.

things. Do not give up. Luckily for me it stayed out. Take that luck and

:29:21.:29:25.

you get it. The chance to win that first bit of silverware for over 40

:29:26.:29:36.

years. He is on. 1-0. It is obviously a fantastic achievement.

:29:37.:29:39.

When you look where the club was, six, seven years ago and where they

:29:40.:29:45.

are now, they have come a long way. At the start of the season we said

:29:46.:29:50.

we wanted to do well in every competition luckily we have managed

:29:51.:29:54.

to get to the final. We have had two tough semifinals to get there. We

:29:55.:30:00.

have not conceded a goal in the competition and we thoroughly

:30:01.:30:01.

deserved our place in the final. In front of him the Southampton

:30:02.:30:13.

defence is interesting. How do you think that will work out with them

:30:14.:30:16.

because they have got to stop Manchester United? They have had a

:30:17.:30:22.

brilliant season, Southampton. But they went to Anfield with a

:30:23.:30:26.

makeshift back four and they kept them out of that game and there was

:30:27.:30:30.

a game after that where they stood strong. Of late it has not been that

:30:31.:30:35.

tight, but when you are chopping and changing your back four, it is not

:30:36.:30:42.

great. They have to find a way to keep the Manchester United striker

:30:43.:30:46.

forced out. They have unearthed a real gem in Gabbiadini. He has

:30:47.:30:53.

really come in and caused issues for other defences. It is mad when you

:30:54.:31:00.

think about the signing of players, especially strikers. Some

:31:01.:31:03.

straightaway just take to it and some do not. He has been a real

:31:04.:31:14.

bonus for them. It has taken the focus off them defensively. They

:31:15.:31:17.

will sit tight at Wembley and they will be hoping they can get a goal

:31:18.:31:23.

through the likes of him. From the Manchester United perspective this

:31:24.:31:26.

was the trophy that Jose Mourinho first one at Chelsea and it set him

:31:27.:31:31.

on a nice run. You get one in the bag early and you take a bit of

:31:32.:31:35.

pressure off. He has always been like that. Most managers take it

:31:36.:31:43.

seriously. Because of that reason they know it is an early trophy. Why

:31:44.:31:53.

would you not want to win it if you were one of the big teams? The

:31:54.:31:58.

pressure is off. You win it in February and the pressure is off. He

:31:59.:32:03.

says Wayne Rooney will feature this weekend. But the future of Wayne

:32:04.:32:09.

Rooney, how do you see it? Not to China at the moment. Has he got many

:32:10.:32:13.

years left in the Premier League at Manchester United? Playing at

:32:14.:32:19.

Manchester United for so long it is difficult. He is 31 years old and I

:32:20.:32:24.

think he has still got a lot to offer in the Premier League and I do

:32:25.:32:27.

not see him going to China or anywhere like that. I think it

:32:28.:32:33.

depends what offers he gets in the summer. If there is one that floats

:32:34.:32:37.

his boat in Europe or the Premier League, I think he will stay,

:32:38.:32:44.

otherwise he is off. Off to work? China, me old China.

:32:45.:32:47.

Full commentary from Wembley is on 5 Live tomorrow from 4.30.

:32:48.:32:56.

And on Wednesday we're at the Etihad as Manchester City host Huddersfield

:32:57.:32:59.

We know there won't be a change at the top of the table today,

:33:00.:33:05.

but the bottom could look very different by Monday night.

:33:06.:33:07.

David Moyes is back at Goodison Park today as Sunderland take on Everton.

:33:08.:33:10.

It wasn't a particularly warm welcome when he took his

:33:11.:33:12.

Manchester United side there two years ago.

:33:13.:33:14.

Not only did his team lose, but the former Everton manager

:33:15.:33:17.

One man who remembers that was Leon Osman.

:33:18.:33:29.

The former Everton midfielder is there for us now.

:33:30.:33:35.

Thank you for talking to us. David Moyes is back where he spent quite a

:33:36.:33:43.

bit of time and knowing him well, how will he be feeling? Will the

:33:44.:33:49.

Everton years the preying on his mind at all? I expect so. I expect

:33:50.:33:54.

he will come here today a bit apprehensive. He knows how this

:33:55.:33:57.

crowd can react if they are not happy with what they are seeing. But

:33:58.:34:02.

he served this club really well over his time and he took a lot of stick

:34:03.:34:07.

when he came back as Manchester United manager and I am expecting he

:34:08.:34:11.

will get a better reception today. Everton have been on a great recent

:34:12.:34:17.

run, what is that down to? Only a few weeks ago we were talking about

:34:18.:34:20.

them being unhappy with the way of the manager. Yes, to have a stretch

:34:21.:34:26.

of ten games with only one win, things were not looking great at one

:34:27.:34:31.

point. But for whatever reason Ronald Koeman has found a way of

:34:32.:34:34.

getting the players to play. They have moved to a back three.

:34:35.:34:40.

They have been scoring goals quite easily since that time. They have

:34:41.:34:47.

had five wins and three draws in the last eight games and it shows the

:34:48.:34:53.

kind of run they are on. Do you not think the two local lads have made a

:34:54.:34:58.

massive difference, not just on the pitch but with the crowd? You know

:34:59.:35:02.

what it is like at Goodison when they have got local players on the

:35:03.:35:08.

go, it is fantastic. The fans love a local lad to come through,

:35:09.:35:12.

especially the ones who show commitment. They have shown

:35:13.:35:14.

commitment since they have come onto the scene. Recent weeks they have

:35:15.:35:20.

set up goals and have helped keep clean sheets and it looks like the

:35:21.:35:25.

start of a long career for them. We found a goal of yours in the

:35:26.:35:31.

archives. This is very tidy. This is against Sunderland a few years ago

:35:32.:35:39.

in 2007. I am not quite sure where the Sunderland defence are, but a

:35:40.:35:42.

lovely finish nonetheless. It is like a knife through butter. Not any

:35:43.:35:50.

more. What is a good finish for Everton this season? They have got

:35:51.:35:56.

to aim for the best that they can to still try and break into the top

:35:57.:36:02.

six. It would be too much to finish seventh. Maybe they could sneak into

:36:03.:36:06.

Europe and that would be a good finish. But they have got to keep on

:36:07.:36:11.

the coat-tails of the top six. Great to talk to you, enjoy the game. From

:36:12.:36:18.

a Sunderland perspective, they had that great result against Palace,

:36:19.:36:22.

but one result does not make a season. They will need a lot more to

:36:23.:36:26.

stay in the top six. They do not seem to be able to get any type of

:36:27.:36:31.

momentum. I am not expecting Sunderland to go on a run of winning

:36:32.:36:36.

games, but when they get beaten, they get beaten badly to the point

:36:37.:36:40.

where Sunderland fans are walking out of the stadium at half-time. 3-0

:36:41.:36:47.

at home, but then they go and beat Crystal Palace. It is all up and

:36:48.:36:53.

down at the moment. There are a lot of ex-Everton players who will

:36:54.:36:57.

probably start in the Sunderland team. That may be a factor. They

:36:58.:37:03.

went to New York on their mid-season break. Running around Central Park.

:37:04.:37:09.

David Moyes thinks it is better to train in cold weather. Because he

:37:10.:37:11.

Sunderland are joined in the bottom three by Hull.

:37:12.:37:21.

They face Burnley today at the KCom Stadium.

:37:22.:37:23.

Steve Bower is there for Match of the Day.

:37:24.:37:26.

Marco Silva has impressed since taking over at

:37:27.:37:28.

We had Curtis Davies on the show last week and he said the Hull

:37:29.:37:33.

players genuinely believe they are staying up.

:37:34.:37:37.

I have been talking to the whole supporters who have been shown

:37:38.:37:46.

around the stadium. They were saying that nobody around the club thought

:37:47.:37:50.

they would be preparing for the Championship. People were saying

:37:51.:37:59.

Margot Silver who? That is when he walked through the door. The whole

:38:00.:38:04.

feel about the football club, he was busy on transfer deadline day and

:38:05.:38:09.

got seven new faces in and it has injected some new energy. They have

:38:10.:38:14.

got a few players who had a point to prove. They were written off as

:38:15.:38:20.

Premier League players and they have got their own reputation to play

:38:21.:38:25.

for. They are trying to prove their own reputation and in the meantime

:38:26.:38:31.

try and get all up the table. They have got Burnley, Leicester, Swansea

:38:32.:38:34.

and Middlesbrough are all in their next six games. If they can get a

:38:35.:38:39.

good group of point there, who knows what Hull can do in the next bit of

:38:40.:38:44.

the season? Psychologically if they can get the win and get out of the

:38:45.:38:50.

drop zone, it is the time, the business end of the season where all

:38:51.:38:55.

those things can play a part. We are talking about Burnley and how good

:38:56.:38:58.

they are at home, let's forget Lincoln, but away from home just one

:38:59.:39:05.

point all season. It is staggering, how do you explain that. Better not

:39:06.:39:11.

they have been a little bit unlucky, they played with ten men against

:39:12.:39:15.

Watford. Their home form is the third best and that will be the

:39:16.:39:21.

foundation for Burnley to stay up. That would be a terrific for Sean

:39:22.:39:30.

Dyche. Ironically the one point they have got on the road this season was

:39:31.:39:37.

a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford. It was good on that day. Yes, the Lincoln

:39:38.:39:42.

think will play a part today, but sooner or later by the law of

:39:43.:39:46.

averages surely they have got to get points on the road otherwise it will

:39:47.:39:50.

start to play mind games with them and it will put more pressure on

:39:51.:39:56.

them at Turf Moor. You can listen to that one on Match Of The Day later.

:39:57.:40:00.

Again we need somebody to score the regular goals. All the teams at the

:40:01.:40:06.

bottom can look at Swansea who made the change and look at how Paul

:40:07.:40:11.

Clement has changed things around. Now you get to Chelsea and you think

:40:12.:40:14.

everyone is going to struggle at Stamford Bridge, but you can make

:40:15.:40:18.

the case for them getting a point out of that game. Maybe not. They

:40:19.:40:25.

went to Anfield and put in a good performance, so I suppose that is

:40:26.:40:30.

where you would make your case. But with Chelsea at the minute it is as

:40:31.:40:35.

tough as it gets. I do not see them having a chance. But one thing for

:40:36.:40:39.

us Wednesday, Paul Clement has given them some sort of structure. It is a

:40:40.:40:45.

go to plan. When you are going to tough places you need to fall back

:40:46.:40:50.

onto something. The plans go out of the window with early goals and

:40:51.:40:55.

things like that. It is brilliant from whole's perspective as well

:40:56.:40:58.

because they have got a manager who is doing the same thing. If Chelsea

:40:59.:41:06.

go 11 points clear, is that it for you? Is it done and dusted already?

:41:07.:41:16.

Yes to both. Simple. Can I not answered the two questions with one

:41:17.:41:20.

answer? It is an hour-long programme! The thing is with

:41:21.:41:26.

Chelsea, if you want to fight them, they will fight you and beat you. If

:41:27.:41:30.

you want to play at football, they will play at football and beat you.

:41:31.:41:35.

They are far and away the best in the league as everybody knows.

:41:36.:41:41.

You can stay across all today's football this

:41:42.:41:43.

Match of the Day has highlights of everything.

:41:44.:41:53.

While Chelsea top the Premier League, it's Real Madrid

:41:54.:41:59.

Gareth Bale returned from injury for them last weekend and scored.

:42:00.:42:04.

It's been quite a year for the Welshman.

:42:05.:42:06.

We sent along a fellow countryman who is just as excited

:42:07.:42:08.

about what happened last summer in France.

:42:09.:42:16.

Gareth Bale for Wales, he has done it again. To experience and major

:42:17.:42:24.

tournament was incredible, for the history of Wales. Absolute magic. We

:42:25.:42:31.

always believed we could go far, but to do it is another thing. It is

:42:32.:42:45.

Batman, Gareth Bale, what a goal! What came across exceptionally well

:42:46.:42:49.

was the togetherness amongst the group. This band of brothers. How

:42:50.:43:00.

close is the group? It had to be closed during the tournament. Very

:43:01.:43:05.

close. We have been together for nine or ten years. I have had

:43:06.:43:14.

previous times were meeting up was like... But now everybody wants to

:43:15.:43:18.

meet up and we all speak on what's at and we have a laugh and when we

:43:19.:43:24.

come together we do things together. Everybody speaks to everybody, there

:43:25.:43:28.

are no individual groups. It is a great atmosphere to have and we all

:43:29.:43:34.

enjoyed it. Have you taught your daughter the dance? I don't think

:43:35.:43:45.

anyone can do it. The Belgian game in the quarterfinals, not many

:43:46.:43:52.

people were giving Wales a chance. From the outside everybody was

:43:53.:43:59.

writing us off. When the game happened, we pulled out our best

:44:00.:44:03.

performance from somewhere. We worked hard closing down defensively

:44:04.:44:10.

and everybody clicked on that night. What a turn, what a goal! Have you

:44:11.:44:19.

stopped talking about your goal yet? It was an incredible goal. It was

:44:20.:44:27.

deserving of such a big game. It must have been unbelievable to see

:44:28.:44:31.

how many Welsh fans were there and that sea of red. When we were there,

:44:32.:44:37.

the first game against Czechoslovakia, we called it the red

:44:38.:44:42.

wall. When the national anthem came on we all had goose bumps. I think

:44:43.:44:50.

it gave us even more passion to go out there and do it for everybody.

:44:51.:44:55.

We realised back home what was going on.

:44:56.:45:07.

Cristiano Ronaldo has met it. It was an incredible experience. We would

:45:08.:45:16.

have liked to have won the final. An amazing tournament. We all enjoyed

:45:17.:45:23.

it. It will be Portugal in Paris on Sunday. Chris Coleman decided to

:45:24.:45:27.

stay on and find another contract. You're all in support of him doing

:45:28.:45:31.

that how important is that in terms of momentum? Massively important. We

:45:32.:45:43.

have kept improving and improving. Hopefully there are more big

:45:44.:45:51.

tournaments for us as well. Is it a target to get two more tournaments

:45:52.:45:55.

in future breast remarks hopefully we can keep continuing to qualify

:45:56.:46:03.

for more tournaments. -- in future? Hopefully we can produce the same

:46:04.:46:09.

win as we did in the qualifiers in the Euros. It was an amazing summer

:46:10.:46:19.

for Wales. We were not allowed to talk about Real Madrid.

:46:20.:46:22.

Wales' next World Cup qualifier is on 24th March

:46:23.:46:25.

They have to start picking up. Currently six points from four. They

:46:26.:46:37.

have to win. You know what the Republic are like at home. It can be

:46:38.:46:43.

a real dogfight. Not a surprise they have he cut after the summer. They

:46:44.:46:49.

were fantastic. He was one of the few world-class players who kept his

:46:50.:46:53.

profile up. A lot of them completely bombed but he was one of the few.

:46:54.:46:59.

Forget about his ability as a footballer. They although at him,

:47:00.:47:04.

don't they? He just comes across as a normal lad. So refreshing any

:47:05.:47:10.

dressing room. I remember it well. Lots of requests to speak to him

:47:11.:47:16.

after a game. He realised there was a responsibility and took that on

:47:17.:47:20.

board. The rest of the players we acted to that as well. He is a nice

:47:21.:47:27.

guy, Gareth, simple as that. A Family Guy he realised that the

:47:28.:47:31.

weight of expectation is on his shoulders. Not about just what is on

:47:32.:47:36.

the pitch but also what is happening off the pitch. The best thing that

:47:37.:47:41.

has happened for Wales is he is fit and back playing. Without him it is

:47:42.:47:46.

a different story, playing that game. We talked about the Leicester

:47:47.:47:51.

dressing room over the last few days. Gareth Bale was mentioning,

:47:52.:47:55.

when Wales were together there were no cliques in that dressing room for

:47:56.:47:58.

that they all did everything together. Why are you smoking? There

:47:59.:48:03.

were a lot of big rooms in those hotels. When people talk about

:48:04.:48:11.

cliques, they say it is a negative thing. You are all in having a laugh

:48:12.:48:16.

but you will also get on with other people within the squad more than

:48:17.:48:21.

some others. Some people in squads at woman is like to go and relax and

:48:22.:48:28.

chill out on their own. -- at tournaments. It is no different than

:48:29.:48:32.

what you would see in an England Hotel or any other international

:48:33.:48:36.

team. It is always easier when you are winning.

:48:37.:48:39.

Wales' performance last summer was so much the stuff of Hollywood

:48:40.:48:42.

Don't Take Me Home is at cinemas from Friday.

:48:43.:48:51.

But there is no Real Madrid in it, is that right?

:48:52.:49:05.

We've had another reminder in the last few days that the art

:49:06.:49:08.

Neil Warnock this week signed a new contract at Cardiff City,

:49:09.:49:12.

his 17th club over 37 years in the dugout.

:49:13.:49:14.

He - and club captain Sean Morrison - have been talking

:49:15.:49:17.

Rob the Rome gave me my zest back. Coming here is a similar education.

:49:18.:49:24.

A difficult run of fixtures. The players really respond. The

:49:25.:49:29.

Championship is relentless. You need humour. They have to know when I

:49:30.:49:35.

want them to work. They must work. Otherwise they will hear my tongue.

:49:36.:49:42.

You talk about the zest all life. You mentioned Yuma. How much humour

:49:43.:49:50.

do you have? -- humour. An awful lot. I'd take the Mickey about some

:49:51.:49:55.

of the players and I'm sure they do the same to me gusto I have looked

:49:56.:49:59.

at a few managers lately and I have been there. It is a lonely place as

:50:00.:50:04.

a manager. It is important to smile and try to have humour at the right

:50:05.:50:13.

times. We had a bad start to the season. We were thinking it could be

:50:14.:50:19.

a dogfight till the end of the season. The manager left and Neil

:50:20.:50:23.

came in and changed it around straightaway. He has an aura about

:50:24.:50:31.

him. The first season he was here, we got seven points out of nine. It

:50:32.:50:37.

has been 11 years since she talked about retiring. In a different

:50:38.:50:40.

generation you're dealing with different types of character. I do

:50:41.:50:46.

not think in the modern day, we have good lads. They all have if phones

:50:47.:50:51.

and computers and the music before games is atrocious. I do not think

:50:52.:50:55.

management has changed that much you cannot put a price on experience and

:50:56.:50:59.

knowing what you are doing really. It is a lovely feeling for a manager

:51:00.:51:03.

when you have a good dressing room. It does not happen overnight. Cannot

:51:04.:51:09.

put my finger on what I do -- what I do. I am just myself and I enjoy it.

:51:10.:51:16.

He has mellowed down a lot since his younger days. He still has an aura

:51:17.:51:22.

around him where he get instant respect. You can go into his office

:51:23.:51:26.

and have a general chit chat. He is a very good man. All the boys

:51:27.:51:31.

respect him and are fully behind him. The building blocks are there.

:51:32.:51:37.

Next season, you can put yourself into a strong position. I think so.

:51:38.:51:43.

We do enjoy these battles are getting teams away from relegation.

:51:44.:51:47.

It is another battle to try and get at the other end of the table. That

:51:48.:51:52.

is where I want to be next year, if I can. So, your 70th year could be

:51:53.:51:59.

quite a celebration. Sounds bad that, doesn't it? It could be one to

:52:00.:52:08.

celebrate and a promotion, maybe? You do not know what will happen. I

:52:09.:52:12.

have enjoyed getting the best out of lads and making a few people smile.

:52:13.:52:17.

Not many clubs have I left but they have not been in a better position

:52:18.:52:19.

than when I took over. You do not keep getting jobs if you

:52:20.:52:33.

do not get promotion, do you? He has got it. It is all about experience.

:52:34.:52:38.

We talk about the dressing room and getting it right. It can be a bit of

:52:39.:52:47.

a hugger at times on the touchline. He is a good operator at that level.

:52:48.:52:53.

Coming back to the dressing room, you can tell from the captain there

:52:54.:52:58.

is a real level of respect. When it works it must feel like a lovely

:52:59.:53:02.

place to go to work you have the respect of the manager. He likes you

:53:03.:53:06.

and everything is clicking for that there is a flow that goes with big

:53:07.:53:12.

aims each week. He was saying it can be a lonely place. I have watched

:53:13.:53:17.

managers on the training pitch questioning themselves and changing

:53:18.:53:21.

their minds. I is where they do not have trust or loyalty. He is lucky

:53:22.:53:27.

at Cardiff he has managed to go in and instantly have an impact.

:53:28.:53:31.

Another thing we keep saying is when you win games, that generates

:53:32.:53:34.

belief. The players will look at that, thinking, I will follow you.

:53:35.:53:42.

You are a person I can believe in. It makes the players think,

:53:43.:53:48.

actually, he knows what he is doing, which is always handy. We talked

:53:49.:53:52.

about the effect of a new manager will stop Steve Bruce did that at

:53:53.:53:58.

Aston Villa. Now they are on a terrible run in the Championship. It

:53:59.:54:05.

is a bad run for Bella. They have heavily invested in a lot of

:54:06.:54:11.

players. -- Aston Villa. Maybe one macro to many. They are finding it

:54:12.:54:18.

difficult to meet them all together. What were you saying about the wage

:54:19.:54:23.

bill? I think it would most definitely be one of the highest,

:54:24.:54:28.

maybe in the top three of the Championship. Newcastle will be up

:54:29.:54:32.

there as well. You need to get lots of players out. That is as much a

:54:33.:54:38.

problem for the players he has got in. He signed a player from

:54:39.:54:42.

Barnsley, Lansbury from Nottingham Forest will do they have been in the

:54:43.:54:47.

Championship. Sticking with it, they will be one of the favourites to

:54:48.:54:49.

come up next season. And Lawro has gone toe to toe

:54:50.:54:52.

with Spandau Ballet legend, lifelong gooner and Let It Shine

:54:53.:54:56.

judge Martin Kemp. My all-time favourite can I have got

:54:57.:55:14.

to say Charlie George. I come from that double winning in Iraq. That is

:55:15.:55:22.

my time. George has done it. Charlie, for me, was the boy who

:55:23.:55:26.

made it from the terraces on to the pitch. We had a great season last

:55:27.:55:33.

year and came second in the league. In reality, where we stand in

:55:34.:55:38.

European football, and that is what it is all about, winning the

:55:39.:55:43.

Champions League, we get smashed up 5-1 against Bayern Munich. That is

:55:44.:55:52.

not good enough. Our Spurs going to finish ahead of Arsenal this season

:55:53.:55:55.

question that is a difficult question. My brain is saying, yes,

:55:56.:56:01.

but my heart is saying, please, God, do not let it happen. I think

:56:02.:56:06.

Everton are far too strong for Sunderland. I think that is 4-0

:56:07.:56:14.

Everton. Tottenham, I would give them 3-0 on that one. Haven't

:56:15.:56:19.

Leicester been just awful this season. At the end of last season

:56:20.:56:24.

got my son put a bet on that they were going to go down this season

:56:25.:56:30.

and I looked at him and said, you are joking. I think that is 1-0 to

:56:31.:56:33.

Liverpool. I bet he is delighted that Kasper

:56:34.:56:44.

Schmeichel has not quite made the interview. In terms of predictions,

:56:45.:56:48.

that is the longest run we have ever had. We were hoping to speak to

:56:49.:56:52.

Kasper Schmeichel today but unfortunately we cannot bring you

:56:53.:56:59.

that on Football Focus. Maybe his timing is run to perfection. From

:57:00.:57:03.

the perspective of a player at Leicester, do they feel guilty, do

:57:04.:57:09.

you think? Is it a case of Ranieri is gone, we need to stay up? I do

:57:10.:57:14.

not think they have the luxury of feeling guilty. They must focus on

:57:15.:57:18.

getting themselves out of the situation they are in. Eventually

:57:19.:57:22.

they will know that Ranieri getting the sack is partly their fault.

:57:23.:57:26.

Monday night will tell you everything we need to know about

:57:27.:57:31.

that group of players. Why all of a sudden because the manager is

:57:32.:57:34.

sacked, all of a sudden you come out with an appearance? Ridiculous.

:57:35.:57:41.

Saville was a good performance, to be fair. They will need to win the

:57:42.:57:47.

fans back. The fans will be interesting on Monday night.

:57:48.:57:52.

If last season reminded us of what we love about football...

:57:53.:57:59.

This week has been a harsh reality check.

:58:00.:58:01.

Ranieri's time at Leicester may have been short

:58:02.:58:03.

but the memories will last a lifetime.

:58:04.:58:05.

The fans pay for a ticket and they want to see good football. Mr

:58:06.:58:19.

Ranieri thinks tactically different league. He will try to find a

:58:20.:58:29.

weakness. We are sleeping. Come on! When we make a clean sheet, I paid

:58:30.:58:36.

to everybody ate pizza. Take off my shirt, OK, thank you. I want to win.

:58:37.:58:49.

The wait is over. The story is complete. Leicester City are the

:58:50.:58:53.

champions of England. The achievement of the century and the

:58:54.:58:58.

greatest sporting story of them all. The

:58:59.:59:11.

Robert Burns. Bagpipes. Stovies. Billy Connolly, yeah.

:59:12.:59:16.
