0:00:22 > 0:00:30Cristiano Ronaldo!Mystery boys indeed. No team has won it more than
0:00:30 > 0:00:40Arsenal.A hat-trick.The biggest Chelsea celebration ever seen.
0:00:45 > 0:00:52And I for goal. Leicester take the lead through Jamie Farr de. Believe
0:00:52 > 0:00:59in your ability.Be determined. Murray continues his scoring record.

0:01:04 > 0:01:09always want more.Confidence. Hat-trick for the striker. Most

0:01:24 > 0:01:31this on the way. -- and English man. All action from the first home game
0:01:31 > 0:01:37in charge by David Moyes at West Ham. It is looking up for Brighton's
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Glenn Murray, who is better with his feet and his hands.We were
0:01:42 > 0:01:49plasterer? I was plasterer's labourer. Where you decent? You will
0:01:49 > 0:01:53have to ask my dad!Karen Wilson is Keane to remind everyone of his
0:01:53 > 0:01:59talent.My son and I went into a job and he asked for another player
0:01:59 > 0:02:08rather than myself.If Manchester City win the league, do think
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Manchester City will have a reunion in ten years? No chance. Let's have
0:02:13 > 0:02:19a look at the Premier League fixtures this weekend. We will talk
0:02:19 > 0:02:24about Glenn Murray who take on Manchester United at Brighton. The
0:02:24 > 0:02:29late game is a bit of a corker to talk about, Liverpool against
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Chelsea. Tomorrow there are three games, including Everton, still
0:02:33 > 0:02:37looking for a manager against Southampton. And the leaders
0:02:37 > 0:02:44Manchester City go to Huddersfield. Last night, Jermaine Jenas was there
0:02:44 > 0:02:49and Simon brother turned the commentator.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Not very first match in charge for David Moyes on the touchline at
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Vicarage Road for the his team getting defeated 2-0 foot appeal
0:03:03 > 0:03:14hope for much better tonight. -- he will hope.Corrected by Jamie Vardy
0:03:14 > 0:03:25for Leicester. It is in from Mark Allbritton. -- Albrighton. Just the
0:03:25 > 0:03:44start that Leicester -- West Ham and David Moyes did not need. A
0:03:44 > 0:03:55challenge inside the penalty area. It is Albrighton running in.
0:03:55 > 0:04:03Albrighton was left looking in vain at the referee.Into the box it
0:04:03 > 0:04:08goes. Just in front of the post by Schmeichel.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21Whipped in by Lanzini. Ogbonna got up well. It was going in until the
0:04:21 > 0:04:23ball was pushed away.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31The ball breaks for Mahrez.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41Albrighton over on the far side. In towards Vardy. Takes it in his
0:04:41 > 0:04:46stride. Well taken by Bardy. Whenever Leicester City move forward
0:04:46 > 0:04:50into the final third and they look far more dangerous and businesslike
0:04:50 > 0:04:58than West Ham in the first half. It has gone in. West Ham United are
0:04:58 > 0:05:10level. He celebrates with half-time on the horizon. West Ham back in the
0:05:10 > 0:05:21game and spirits lifted at London stadium. Kouyate got the touch and
0:05:21 > 0:05:29the ball was deflected across the line. Kouyate will claim that.
0:05:29 > 0:05:36Forward by Lanzini. Down he goes. West Ham once a penalty and Martin
0:05:36 > 0:05:48Atkinson says, no. Ayew collided with Maguire but I think there was
0:05:48 > 0:05:53minimal contact between them. You cannot fault the effort today,
0:05:53 > 0:05:58particularly in the second half. Schmeichel stays on his line as it
0:05:58 > 0:06:06bounces around. A great effort, just over the top of the crossbar. Ayew
0:06:06 > 0:06:13went for the spectacular, acrobatic, athletic. Unfortunately for him, not
0:06:13 > 0:06:16quite underneath the bar and into the back of the net.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24It was a shame without the possibly two to be more clinical in this
0:06:24 > 0:06:31game. After they scored in the first half, we had to score a goal perhaps
0:06:31 > 0:06:38to Gil the game just before half-time.We are desperately trying
0:06:38 > 0:06:41to get a level which we think the players will need to player to get
0:06:41 > 0:06:46results will stop we think we worked quite hard tonight and we got a
0:06:46 > 0:06:50point. It shows we have a long way to go. We'll have to work harder.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56There were moments tonight when football was a bit better and gave
0:06:56 > 0:07:00ourselves more chances.Let's have a look at the main goals. Overall, you
0:07:00 > 0:07:06were there and commentating. It was not a Friday night fees. David Moyes
0:07:06 > 0:07:13asked the fans to respond. Whether positives for West Ham?From a
0:07:13 > 0:07:19quality perspective, I did not think it was there. The fans were
0:07:19 > 0:07:25sensational. They were the group of people who got the game going.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Quality was hugely lacking. Also the players. The work rate has
0:07:29 > 0:07:33increased. The statistics on sprints, high intensity sprints,
0:07:33 > 0:07:41they are up when you compare it to Slaven Bilic.Let's look at the
0:07:41 > 0:07:46Leicester opening goal. What do you think of this from Albrighton?For
0:07:46 > 0:07:52Leicester, it is brilliant. The way that great comes off the line.
0:07:52 > 0:07:52Albrighton is
0:07:52 > 0:07:53that great comes off the line. Albrighton is assessing the
0:07:53 > 0:08:00situation. When it comes across the box, he is alert to it. For West
0:08:00 > 0:08:07Ham, it is a bit of a nightmare. Everybody is all watching. Zabaleta,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Ogbonna, they are all forgetting where the main danger is all stop
0:08:11 > 0:08:18this is them main danger man, Jamie Vardy. We know where he likes to
0:08:18 > 0:08:24operate. Read recovers and gets it up into a decent situation. As he
0:08:24 > 0:08:28comes into the box, Ogbonna must clear that. There is not much you
0:08:28 > 0:08:33can do with the manager when it comes to individual errors. It falls
0:08:33 > 0:08:40to Albrighton and he sticks it in the net.It is tough for defenders.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45You expect Ogbonna to clear the ball. As a defender you always have
0:08:45 > 0:08:48to expect the unexpected. The goalkeeper needed to be a bit
0:08:48 > 0:08:53tighter on Albrighton in case there was a mistake like that. Had he been
0:08:53 > 0:08:59able to prevent it? Probably not. The second goal, the big man has
0:08:59 > 0:09:04been moaning all morning. Schmeichel made some good saves but on this one
0:09:04 > 0:09:08he was at fault.There were a couple of instances in the game when he
0:09:08 > 0:09:13came or did not come. He did a couple of things which went against
0:09:13 > 0:09:18him here. He has to come and follow through, put his best on the end of
0:09:18 > 0:09:24it. He showed it late in the game that he could not do it. He takes a
0:09:24 > 0:09:27couple of steps forward. He thinks that Jamie Vardy will head the ball
0:09:27 > 0:09:34and he stops. The minute he misses it and it is over his head,
0:09:34 > 0:09:40Schmeichel is in no man's land. He has no chance. Any shot on target or
0:09:40 > 0:09:46header on target and it is in the back of the net, as we can see.Last
0:09:46 > 0:09:51night when I was watching it, I felt that, sometimes as an outfield
0:09:51 > 0:09:55player can you feel like you're being overly critical of goalkeepers
0:09:55 > 0:09:59and something else is going on. I didn't feel he was being commanding
0:09:59 > 0:10:08enough. Nobody was marking him.Now that I have seen it, I agree.As a
0:10:08 > 0:10:11former keeper, how much responsibility do you take full
0:10:11 > 0:10:18balls like that in your six yard area? Would everybody think that it
0:10:18 > 0:10:24would have been Schmeichel's?I am sure they would. He needed to get
0:10:24 > 0:10:30his best in on the end of it. Don't expect to players to do that for
0:10:30 > 0:10:36you. It was in his area. Two feet inside the six yard box and that is
0:10:36 > 0:10:41his area. What kills him is the couple of steps forward. He does not
0:10:41 > 0:10:46pick up the fly off the ball. Once he realises he has that, it is too
0:10:46 > 0:10:52late.At what point do you make a decision? When you see the flight of
0:10:52 > 0:10:58the ball or beforehand do you decide you will come and get it?I think
0:10:58 > 0:11:03that is one of the worst things you can do. You have to set yourself and
0:11:03 > 0:11:08stay still and wait for the flight of the ball. Then you make your
0:11:08 > 0:11:13movement. Make of that movement as direct as possible. If you leave it
0:11:13 > 0:11:22longer it is often too late. England's women were also in action.
0:11:22 > 0:11:29They beat Bosnia 4-0. They opened the scoring in the 19th minute. Then
0:11:29 > 0:11:40they made it two. The free kick found the gap, 3-0. The scoring was
0:11:40 > 0:11:46completed from the penalty spot. England are two from two and they
0:11:46 > 0:11:54play has expansion. Kazakhstan were playing Wales last night. Wales were
0:11:54 > 0:12:01narrow 1-0 winners thanks to this late free kick. Wales top the group.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06They have played an extra game to England but do not forget England
0:12:06 > 0:12:11have a game in hand. Now back to Monday night and Brighton against
0:12:11 > 0:12:22Stoke. Premier entertaining draw. -- a Premier League entertaining draw.
0:12:22 > 0:12:30In comes the corner kick. What a fine save! Shoots. A big chance for
0:12:30 > 0:12:37Brighton. A lovely ball brought down well. Stoke have scored. A lovely
0:12:37 > 0:12:47ball on the counter.It is a corner. That was a really poor decision.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Glenn Murray has gone in here with a challenge off the ground.He is
0:12:52 > 0:13:03really wound up. A good run. A goal! 1-1.In comes the cross. It is in
0:13:03 > 0:13:08the back of the net and Stoke have another one with the last touch.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Possession inside the Stoke box. Across the face of the goal, he gets
0:13:14 > 0:13:20it in.2-2. A really good entertaining game of football.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Honours even.
0:13:24 > 0:13:31We went to meet Glenn Murray, striker for the Seagulls. Over 30
0:13:31 > 0:13:36and still going strong.That is genuinely wobbling, it seems to me.
0:13:36 > 0:13:46I'm sure it is not.Let go. You can feel it with your feet. There is a
0:13:46 > 0:13:56little... There is a long way to go. Are you nervous? If I had said ten
0:13:56 > 0:13:59years ago when you are still make your name at Rochdale you are about
0:13:59 > 0:14:04to spend nearly a decade down here as a Cumbrian, what would you have
0:14:04 > 0:14:11said? Would you have believed me?No chance.No chance at all. I get the
0:14:11 > 0:14:17impression that you love it here?I guess it is. My wife is from
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Brighton and my kids are here. It is a beautiful part of England.When
0:14:22 > 0:14:27you have no hair like this, it is a bit cold. Let's go inside. It seems
0:14:27 > 0:14:32like it has been such an enormous journey for you. I wondered when you
0:14:32 > 0:14:36did not get a start in the first six games this season, whether you
0:14:36 > 0:14:41thought here we go again, I have reached the promised land.I had a
0:14:41 > 0:14:46bad pre-season and the gaffer did not think I was right to start the
0:14:46 > 0:14:50first game. I worked my way back into the team starting with
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Leicester and then I did my ankle ligaments. It was a bad start for me
0:14:55 > 0:15:01on a personal level will stop you have a lovely spell before the
0:15:01 > 0:15:05international break.That is you feeling sky-high, isn't it?It was
0:15:05 > 0:15:12nice to get off the mark against West Ham.Brighton are going to win
0:15:12 > 0:15:16away in the Premier League for the first ever time.The first goal of
0:15:16 > 0:15:24the season lifts a bit of pressure from you.Are you the same person
0:15:24 > 0:15:28that started off all those years ago with Workington? That was part-time
0:15:28 > 0:15:34and you were a plasterer.I was a plasterer's labourer. Where you
0:15:34 > 0:15:39decent? I don't know for that you would have to ask my dad. He is to
0:15:39 > 0:15:44give me a hard time the lumps in the plaster. I don't think he wanted me
0:15:44 > 0:15:50to become a plasterer. He wanted me to follow whatever I wanted to do.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54That happened with football and I had a chance to go to America. It
0:15:54 > 0:16:00came about through David Irving, the ex-Everton forward. I played for an
0:16:00 > 0:16:07amateur team in Maryport. I was told I was half decent. It was not
0:16:07 > 0:16:14glamorous. It was like a really enjoyable three years.This is
0:16:14 > 0:16:18amazing when you look at where you are from, which is Maryport...
0:16:18 > 0:16:24Almost as far away as you can get. It is, 350 miles away. Notable
0:16:24 > 0:16:30people, the most obvious one is Fletcher Christian. But there you
0:16:30 > 0:16:37are, Glenn Murray. On the list.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Was the moment when things turned for you?I went to Stockport for a
0:16:41 > 0:16:45while, scored three or four goals in 12 games. Got the opportunity at
0:16:45 > 0:16:51Rochdale. I started to become prolific there.It begs the
0:16:51 > 0:16:54question, how many more of you and all those names that have come from
0:16:54 > 0:16:59the non-leagues are there out there? Look at the team I am playing in
0:16:59 > 0:17:06now. The likes of Lewis Dunk, Stevens, Shane Duffy.All from the
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Football League and flying in the Premier League now. The gaffer has
0:17:10 > 0:17:13stayed with the players who have done well for him and they continue
0:17:13 > 0:17:18to do well for him.If you were watching yourself in action, how
0:17:18 > 0:17:22would you describe yourself?Not that easy on the eye. A languid
0:17:22 > 0:17:26style. People question how bothered I am about the club I play for or
0:17:26 > 0:17:30how hard I work for the team I'm in. Whereas I am working as hard as I
0:17:30 > 0:17:35can. But I have sort of a lazy style.Do you think about your own
0:17:35 > 0:17:39career when you head off to Old Trafford on the journey you have
0:17:39 > 0:17:43been on?You appreciate it as you get older. But I would be going
0:17:43 > 0:17:49there to score goals.Will your old man be there shouting, he makes
0:17:49 > 0:17:54lumpy plaster in the background?He will be there cheering me on!
0:17:54 > 0:17:58STUDIO: Very nice down on the coast. Whenever I see a piece like that,
0:17:58 > 0:18:04it's a real encouragement for people playing at a lower level who think,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I could be like Glenn Murray. Four in four playing in the top division
0:18:08 > 0:18:12in the country and playing well this season.If they have any aspirations
0:18:12 > 0:18:15of being like Glenn Murray, listening to that video will give
0:18:15 > 0:18:19them an understanding of how difficult the road has been for
0:18:19 > 0:18:23himself, going over to America and playing in front of basically nobody
0:18:23 > 0:18:28by the sound of it, keeping up his spirits, but having the belief in
0:18:28 > 0:18:33himself that if he keeps scoring he will get to where he deserves to be.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37He's had a couple of injuries that he has come back from as well. Fair
0:18:37 > 0:18:41play to him.It shows the difference a mentality makes. Many players with
0:18:41 > 0:18:46the same degree of talent might have thought this isn't for me.There are
0:18:46 > 0:18:49many players with infinitely more talent that don't make it, or who
0:18:49 > 0:18:54make it for a split second and then fade away because they take it for
0:18:54 > 0:18:58granted. They don't work enough for it. These guys coming through the
0:18:58 > 0:19:11lower levels, the one thing they do know how to do is graft. Look at
0:19:11 > 0:19:21players like Glenn Murray, Jamie Vardy, and even Chris Smalling.Jose
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Mourinho talked about what he would like to see going forward. In terms
0:19:25 > 0:19:30of how they play, Paul Pogba, he scored on and set one up against
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Newcastle last weekend.He is a world talent, Paul Pogba, and he
0:19:34 > 0:19:39will improve the side. The biggest thing I liked in this particular
0:19:39 > 0:19:45game, he seems to have an air of freedom about him to get forward and
0:19:45 > 0:19:48create. You can tell he's getting back to full fitness, but in the
0:19:48 > 0:19:53games where they haven't had him, it's been clear that his influence
0:19:53 > 0:19:56in the midfield area, that commanding aura he has about himself
0:19:56 > 0:20:01to be able to receive the ball in tight areas. They have lacked that.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06They have impact is huge.That's been from the start of the season as
0:20:06 > 0:20:11well. The arrival of Matic has been enormous for him. Not just for
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Manchester United but also Pogba because it takes so much
0:20:13 > 0:20:18responsibility and work off him.We haven't spoke about Matic that much
0:20:18 > 0:20:24since Pogba has been injured. They need each other. We were lauding
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Matic for all the good work he was doing, but when Pogba got injured,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32we thought they were looking a bit there in terms of ability on the
0:20:32 > 0:20:37ball, which Pogba gives you.Going forward Pogba gives you that. Matic
0:20:37 > 0:20:41doesn't have that in his armoury but they complement each other well.On
0:20:41 > 0:20:43the Premier League show he was talking about playing the trumpet
0:20:43 > 0:20:53with Lloyd, Eric Cantona.What music do you listen to?Pop, rock, jazz.
0:20:53 > 0:21:01Do you play an instrument? Do you play an instrument?I used to. Do
0:21:01 > 0:21:05you?I used to play the trumpet. When I was banned after the Crystal
0:21:05 > 0:21:12Palace... Yeah.Made good use out of his nine months out of the game.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15That's still on the iPlayer if you missed it. Good news about Michael
0:21:15 > 0:21:22Carrick. He has not played since September because of irregular heart
0:21:22 > 0:21:24rhythm, but he's back in training and has had treatment for that.
0:21:24 > 0:21:35Messi has signed a big contract to his Barcelona career. The buyout
0:21:35 > 0:21:41clause is 600 million.There will still be people out there who buy
0:21:41 > 0:21:46it.If that's the case, stop the world, I'm getting off!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Jermaine Jenas is double shifting with Match of the Day alongside Alan
0:21:58 > 0:22:05Shearer and Gary Lineker. Middlesbrough manager Garry Monk
0:22:05 > 0:22:11will be on Match of the Day 2 extra tomorrow. The late game today is
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Liverpool against Chelsea featuring two summer signings who have hit the
0:22:14 > 0:22:16ground running.
0:22:17 > 0:22:25COMMENTARY MONTAGE:Salah tees it up and finds the back of the net.
0:22:25 > 0:22:32Magnificent finish from Salah.Good ball, good header, good goal.Alvaro
0:22:32 > 0:22:39Morata. Beautiful header, lovely goal.Mohamed Salah can't stop
0:22:39 > 0:22:46scoring in a Liverpool shirt. Morata, 1-0 Chelsea.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Fire and ice. We hope it's more Game of Thrones than Torvill and Dean.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10That's the 5:30pm kick tonight. You crossed over at Chelsea together. He
0:23:10 > 0:23:17came with a big reputation, Mo Salah. But he never really fit into
0:23:17 > 0:23:22that Chelsea side.He was only 21 when he came to Chelsea. He was at
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Basel, who have done well in European football, but they are a
0:23:25 > 0:23:29small club, so the jump from Basel and playing in that competition to
0:23:29 > 0:23:34the Premier League was enormous for him. And to be fair he didn't get a
0:23:34 > 0:23:38lot of opportunities to play and get rhythm and find his feet.Early in
0:23:38 > 0:23:43the season Liverpool fans said he was missing his one on one chances.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47But he already has 14 goals this season, more than Liverpool have had
0:23:47 > 0:23:50in previous seasons with the likes of Steven Gerrard and Daniel
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Sturridge being top scorers. A phenomenal record considering he has
0:23:53 > 0:23:58already missed chances as well.It is scary. Liverpool fans will say he
0:23:58 > 0:24:03could have had 20, and that is credit to himself. He keeps putting
0:24:03 > 0:24:07himself in that situation. Initially I was one of the people who didn't
0:24:07 > 0:24:12think he was able to edge out people like Lallana and Sadio Mane to make
0:24:12 > 0:24:16the position his own, and consequently received a lot of abuse
0:24:16 > 0:24:21from Egyptian national team fans on Twitter! I do apologise. But he has
0:24:21 > 0:24:25been a sensation, going to a club that size and putting in those
0:24:25 > 0:24:30performances, he has been brilliant. Well done on issuing the apology.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36Good pundits do.From a Chelsea perspective, the linkup between Eden
0:24:36 > 0:24:43Hazard and Morata, that will encourage you.He has been sorely
0:24:43 > 0:24:47missed, Hazard. He has said the break has probably done him the
0:24:47 > 0:24:52world of good, having that injury. We saw last weekend, the linkup play
0:24:52 > 0:24:57between Hazard and Morata was exceptional. Fabregas, people
0:24:57 > 0:25:01haven't spoken about Fabregas as much, and he's instrumental in
0:25:01 > 0:25:05pulling the strings from a deeper position, albeit West Brom gave him
0:25:05 > 0:25:10a free rein.Talk of Liverpool struggling defensively. Interesting
0:25:10 > 0:25:14that only Scot Arfield has scored at Anfield in the Premier League this
0:25:14 > 0:25:18season, only conceding one goal at home in the Premier League.They do
0:25:18 > 0:25:23need to focus on it. Everybody thinks it's a nightmare. And
0:25:23 > 0:25:26midweek, the situation didn't help. But if they look at Anfield as a
0:25:26 > 0:25:29fortress for keeping clean sheets, they will get results. But that
0:25:29 > 0:25:36didn't help in midweek.I don't think so. All this still to come...
0:25:36 > 0:25:43Callum Wilson on being back in the goals at Bournemouth. Neil Warnock
0:25:43 > 0:25:49will be talking 50 years in football. And Leicester striker
0:25:49 > 0:25:56Jamie Vardy on his World Cup aspirations. We can go to St James'
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Park next where Newcastle play Watford in the three o'clock
0:26:00 > 0:26:04kick-off. Guy Mowbray is therefore Match of the Day. I am sure you have
0:26:04 > 0:26:08seen Marco Silva's press Conference this week. Fair to say he's fed up
0:26:08 > 0:26:12with questions about Everton.He's not going to answer any more and it
0:26:12 > 0:26:18looks like he might not do. Looking at how the betting has taken a turn,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21a usual good indicator, it looks like Martin O'Neill could be going
0:26:21 > 0:26:25to Goodison Park. I'm sure that will delight the Watford supporters. I
0:26:25 > 0:26:30have travelled up on the train to Newcastle today and one supporter
0:26:30 > 0:26:34was keen to point out that Marco Silva has bought a house in
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Hatfield, proof positive that he wants to stay for that to years that
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Watford give their manager as a maximum these days. Watford are
0:26:41 > 0:26:45playing well under Marco Silva. One of my favourite statistics is that
0:26:45 > 0:26:49they have scored two goals in every single Premier League away games
0:26:49 > 0:26:52this season. Newcastle have to go for it today. They have lost three
0:26:52 > 0:26:56in a row. It bodes well for an entertaining game. Hopefully that
0:26:56 > 0:27:01hasn't put the mockers on it.Can't believe you have built it up into an
0:27:01 > 0:27:05entertaining game. I hope it isn't last on Match of the Day. Some
0:27:05 > 0:27:10movement in the directors box at Newcastle.Nothing just yet. The
0:27:10 > 0:27:15opening bid has been tabled and I understand it is less than 300
0:27:15 > 0:27:17million and Mike Ashley wants considerably more to relinquish
0:27:17 > 0:27:23control of Newcastle. From the other side of things, he has been keen to
0:27:23 > 0:27:27state he wants something wrapped up by Christmas. I believe the business
0:27:27 > 0:27:32term is that he is a motivated seller, whatever that means, and the
0:27:32 > 0:27:36people interested, led by Amanda Staveley on behalf of the PCP
0:27:36 > 0:27:40investment group, they are apparently very keen buyers. The
0:27:40 > 0:27:44feeling is something will be struck at Newcastle and in the New Year
0:27:44 > 0:27:48they could be in new hands, different owners. It's undoubtedly
0:27:48 > 0:27:52the case the fans have been wanting at for years. There have been five
0:27:52 > 0:27:56or six reported takeover bids before that have come to nothing. They have
0:27:56 > 0:27:59wanted Mike Ashley out for a considerable amount of time and the
0:27:59 > 0:28:03feeling is there is not a better time to get rid. Midway through the
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Premier League, Rafa Benitez in charge, and they are doing as well
0:28:07 > 0:28:12as they could be expected to do at this stage. Nothing confirmed yet,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15but the ball is rolling. I don't know anything about business.
0:28:15 > 0:28:22Guaranteed thriller for Guy Mowbray. Marco Silva, if an estate agent is
0:28:22 > 0:28:27to be believed, he will stay at Watford. Speculation around Everton,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31but Martin O'Neill has changed that a little bit.He has. It's a bit
0:28:31 > 0:28:36surprise in to me, but maybe that's because it's too difficult to get
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Marco Silva away from Watford. Maybe he has decided he doesn't want to
0:28:39 > 0:28:45make the move. It's all speculation at the moment. They have explored
0:28:45 > 0:28:48that Avenue and he will be their number one choice, I would think.
0:28:48 > 0:28:55It's more than a month since Everton sacked Ronald Koeman. David Unsworth
0:28:55 > 0:28:59remains in caretaker charge for tomorrow's trip to Southampton.This
0:28:59 > 0:29:03is an amazing job. Who wouldn't want to be manager of Everton?Sliced
0:29:03 > 0:29:09into his own net by Jonjoe Kenny.We have lost a date and that's
0:29:09 > 0:29:13disappointing. We are judged by results.David Unsworth has more
0:29:13 > 0:29:18experience than on the candidates applying for that job.3-2 to
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Everton. He is missed and surely Everton will win the match now.I
0:29:21 > 0:29:23have stood there for two weeks as the proudest man in the world.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29Nobody can take away that.Delighted for David Unsworth. He's not a
0:29:29 > 0:29:32miracle worker but has been put in a very difficult situation.Oumar
0:29:32 > 0:29:39Niasse is in.What will happen with you now?What will be, will be. It's
0:29:39 > 0:29:45for other people to decide.They guaranteed Premiership safety.David
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Unsworth says the man of the Everton defeat to Atalanta in Europa League
0:29:49 > 0:29:53was unacceptable, losing 5-1 at Goodison Park.The players know
0:29:53 > 0:29:58exactly how I feel. They know I feel we have let the club down. We put it
0:29:58 > 0:30:03to bed, move on and we have a really important game on Sunday.STUDIO:
0:30:03 > 0:30:09Even know he is much loved by the players, do you think the defeats to
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Atalanta means he has lost the opportunity to get the job
0:30:12 > 0:30:18full-time?He did need a good performance and I feel for him
0:30:18 > 0:30:21because the situation is very difficult. On top of that, they are
0:30:21 > 0:30:25only maybe one player away from getting it right. That one focal
0:30:25 > 0:30:29point at the top end of the pitch, somebody quick or who can hold up
0:30:29 > 0:30:33the ball. That could be the release the team needs to perform the way
0:30:33 > 0:30:37they do. You can already see a new manager coming in would purchase one
0:30:37 > 0:30:43in January and be hailed as the saviour. In fairness to David
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Unsworth, it hasn't been the shift they have needed, but he had to take
0:30:47 > 0:30:48over a bad situation.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01Makes you realise how important Lukaku was.He was scoring 45 plus
0:31:01 > 0:31:04goals a season. That speaks volumes will stop when they did not replace
0:31:04 > 0:31:08it would always be a major concern for Everton about where the goals
0:31:08 > 0:31:13would come from. Where would that number of goals come from? Add to
0:31:13 > 0:31:18that the turnover of players and new additions needing time to gel. When
0:31:18 > 0:31:29you look at David Unsworth taking over, he has won one, and lost four.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Let's show you the odds for the next Everton manager on the floor of the
0:31:32 > 0:31:47studio. Marco Silva in there. Sean Dyche and David Unsworth. Niasse
0:31:47 > 0:31:57made unwanted history this week when he was and for diving. Do you think
0:31:57 > 0:32:03it was the right decision? -- band. We are trying to make a statement
0:32:03 > 0:32:09and cut it out of the game. There need to be harsh punishments. To see
0:32:09 > 0:32:14happen to Niasse, hopefully they will look at it and think twice.
0:32:14 > 0:32:22Last night, a West Ham player dived in the box. There was no penalty and
0:32:22 > 0:32:32so he could not be charged.Is it a step in the right direction?100%.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Niasse, he was not penalised on the night but he did gain an advantage.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41In that perspective it is the right decision. On the night, had he been
0:32:41 > 0:32:46punished when he would have got the yellow card. Now he is missing games
0:32:46 > 0:32:50because of it. You have to deter players from diving.I'm sure we
0:32:50 > 0:32:56will talk about that throughout the rest of the season. After suffering
0:32:56 > 0:33:01two serious knee injuries, Callum Wilson has found fitness and form
0:33:01 > 0:33:03and has been speaking to us.
0:33:10 > 0:33:17The corner is turned in. Callum Wilson for Bournemouth. Wilson, 2-0.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23Two defenders in front of him. Wilson! Callum Wilson will be going
0:33:23 > 0:33:27home with the match ball tonight. Perhaps it for the striker. Did you
0:33:27 > 0:33:34expect to come back with such a bang?I knew I was feeling good
0:33:34 > 0:33:39which is why I asked the manager to integrate me back in full to viewers
0:33:39 > 0:33:44want the first goal. I did not expect to get a hat straightaway.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50The new school two in five, six minutes can you have 45, 50 minutes
0:33:50 > 0:33:55to score another goal. My son asked for four goals that day and when he
0:33:55 > 0:34:05said it was a bit taken back.You had two horrific injuries.On both
0:34:05 > 0:34:12knees. When you have one, you think your injury time has passed you can
0:34:12 > 0:34:16have little niggles here and there but you do not expect to have
0:34:16 > 0:34:20another long-term injury like that. Callum Wilson has been ruled out for
0:34:20 > 0:34:23the rest of the season with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
0:34:23 > 0:34:33In terms of rehab, getting through it mentally, which one?Probably the
0:34:33 > 0:34:38first one. I did not know what stage I was at. Whenever they said, I
0:34:38 > 0:34:43would be of crutches in four weeks, I would try and walk of them in two,
0:34:43 > 0:34:48three. I was trying to rush each stage and get back as soon as
0:34:48 > 0:34:52possible. I did not give myself the time my body needed. This second
0:34:52 > 0:34:58time I used all my experience.You are injured. A long time and it
0:34:58 > 0:35:03looked like you used motivational quotes to get through it. There is
0:35:03 > 0:35:07one on your background Twitter.I like that one. That quote is
0:35:07 > 0:35:12relevant to my life. And I put it up, I had not returned back. I was
0:35:12 > 0:35:16starting to feel a little bit better in myself but I knew it was all
0:35:16 > 0:35:24about how I did return. What defines us is how we come back after a fall.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29I'm back up again. Hopefully starting to rise well.Telephone
0:35:29 > 0:35:34little bit about your son. He now thinks you are a footballer again.
0:35:34 > 0:35:40-- tell us a little bit.He had never seen me play. He would always
0:35:40 > 0:35:44say, daddy, when you going to play? It probably fell to him like I was
0:35:44 > 0:35:49not a footballer. We went into the club shop to get a shirt and he
0:35:49 > 0:35:54asked for another player and not myself. I thought this adds to
0:35:54 > 0:36:00change, daddy does play. Now he is asking for my name.Three wins from
0:36:00 > 0:36:03four, it looks like you are starting to turn things around again. What do
0:36:03 > 0:36:12think that is down to?Probably my return!No, I'm joking.Swansea this
0:36:12 > 0:36:18weekend. It will be a tough game. They are down there in the league
0:36:18 > 0:36:22but so were we. They are due a few good games. We need to make sure
0:36:22 > 0:36:27they do not turn things round against us. Hopefully my son will
0:36:27 > 0:36:35not say too many.It is great to see him smiling after a difficult couple
0:36:35 > 0:36:41of months and years. Somebody who has suffered with injury, to come
0:36:41 > 0:36:44back from two cruciate ligament injuries, we have talked about the
0:36:44 > 0:36:51mentality of Glenn Murray but you need to be strong to do that.One is
0:36:51 > 0:36:55bad enough. Everyone was saying they can he do it in the Premier League?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59He sustained one and then another. That hat-trick last week RBC felt
0:36:59 > 0:37:04very sweet. It is all the hard work he has put in which makes him
0:37:04 > 0:37:10deserve the little moments. It tells you a lot about the character of a
0:37:10 > 0:37:13person. Technically, Callum Wilson is not the most gifted. He works
0:37:13 > 0:37:18hard and gets his open to good situations. He knows where the back
0:37:18 > 0:37:27of the net is.Former fans will tell you, if he keeps playing like this,
0:37:27 > 0:37:30no reason why he will not have a sniff to get into the World Cup
0:37:30 > 0:37:35squad.I think it is premature at the moment. Off the back of two
0:37:35 > 0:37:38cruciate ligament injuries, it is horrendous. He has done really well
0:37:38 > 0:37:42to get where he is also a need is a good six months, rest of the season
0:37:42 > 0:37:47behind him.Of the month of the season, more managers have been
0:37:47 > 0:37:52sacked in November than any other month, 33 in total. The team that
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Bournemouth take on this weekend, Swansea, Paul Clement is another
0:37:56 > 0:38:01manager who is in a difficult situation. Everyone is looking at it
0:38:01 > 0:38:06and thinking, is he next? How does he get them out of that?He is under
0:38:06 > 0:38:11a lot of pressure. Performances have not been good at all. That kind of
0:38:11 > 0:38:16organisation he brought initially when he first arrived seems to have
0:38:16 > 0:38:22gone. They look soft at the back. The reason why managers get sacked
0:38:22 > 0:38:28in November is it is shopping time in January.That is why. We have had
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Black Friday. Paul Clement is under pressure. West Brom are another club
0:38:32 > 0:38:36looking for a new manager. Time has run out for Tony.
0:38:41 > 0:38:48He shoots and finds the back of the net. For West Bromwich Albion, the
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Warriors continue.Nine top-flight games without a victory. It hurts to
0:38:52 > 0:38:58go such a long time about winning a game.It is tough but he will come
0:38:58 > 0:39:04through it.Tony Pulis did an outstanding job at West Brom.
0:39:04 > 0:39:10Fabregas! At the back post was Marcos Alonso. It is the results
0:39:10 > 0:39:16business. The man with that decision is in town. Eden Hazard art does the
0:39:16 > 0:39:28rest. Question increases -- the pressure increases on Tony Pulis.He
0:39:28 > 0:39:31has never been relegated. That is why would not get rid of him yet.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35The directors will decide what they will do. The book club is more
0:39:35 > 0:39:43important than anybody. -- the football club.They are away at
0:39:43 > 0:39:54Tottenham. John Motz and is there for us. -- Motsom. That is the
0:39:54 > 0:40:00current legend at White Hart Lane. I understand you have a former legend
0:40:00 > 0:40:06alongside you at Wembley.I have indeed. It is 40 years next year,
0:40:06 > 0:40:11the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, that I first met this gentle man. I
0:40:11 > 0:40:15got myself into the Argentine training camp, which was not easy. I
0:40:15 > 0:40:20was given the pleasure of interviewing our dealers. You could
0:40:20 > 0:40:25not speak English and I could not speak Spanish, so it was a great
0:40:25 > 0:40:30interview.We had no clue what we were saying that it was funny.What
0:40:30 > 0:40:36was also funny, when I got back to Argentina, the first person to ring
0:40:36 > 0:40:40me up was Keith Birkenshaw. He said, what you know about him? Lo and
0:40:40 > 0:40:51behold...You are not asking for a fee now? You work in Argentina and
0:40:51 > 0:40:57we were here with Ricky and the rest is history.Amateur the culture
0:40:57 > 0:41:03shock was that when you first came? -- how much of a culture shock was
0:41:03 > 0:41:14that? It was a bit tough. Not like it is right now with the internet.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18The club helped us tremendously right from the very beginning. It
0:41:18 > 0:41:25was a happy time.Overseas players were quite fresh to the game. You
0:41:25 > 0:41:30managed to bring your family here and settle down quite quickly.We
0:41:30 > 0:41:35were one of the two first foreigners. Looking at the Premier
0:41:35 > 0:41:40League now, you might not recognise that. We brought our family here and
0:41:40 > 0:41:55in fact, for wiki and me, it was an adventure. -- Ricky.Everybody looks
0:41:55 > 0:41:59back on the 1981 cup final. Where does that stand in all your
0:41:59 > 0:42:05memories?All I would say that is bigger than that was when we won the
0:42:05 > 0:42:12World Cup in 1978. 1981 was such an occasion. It was beautiful. You
0:42:12 > 0:42:20remember the song but that day it was about Ricky. It was beautiful,
0:42:20 > 0:42:29the best day in his life. He scored not a bad goal.A great time. A lot
0:42:29 > 0:42:34of people probably will not remember that you also... You were the
0:42:34 > 0:42:39manager of Tottenham but you are also the manager of West Bromwich
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Albion. You came to Wembley with them and won a play-off.They have
0:42:43 > 0:42:51been very friendly to me all through the year. Just before I arrived to
0:42:51 > 0:42:57Spurs, because we did so well, we played some lovely football and we
0:42:57 > 0:43:02were promoted at Wembley, it was very beautiful. Because that I
0:43:02 > 0:43:07became the manager of Tottenham.One thing that Spurs fans will remember
0:43:07 > 0:43:12about your time as manager, you played with five forwards.Is that
0:43:12 > 0:43:25not exactly. Our mentality was to go forward. We wanted to go forward all
0:43:25 > 0:43:31the time. We did not want to speculate. I had a career as a
0:43:31 > 0:43:35player at Tottenham and I know what Tottenham wanted and we wanted to
0:43:35 > 0:43:45play that way.How far can this team go?It can go all the way. It is a
0:43:45 > 0:43:49wonderful team. In my opinion they have the best manager in the world
0:43:49 > 0:43:56right now. He is doing a fantastic job here. I cannot praise him more.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00We have a very young and very competitive squad with a lot of
0:44:00 > 0:44:07quality. The future is very good.My word!Before we finish, I want to
0:44:07 > 0:44:13present this. This is the first game that you commentators for Spurs and
0:44:13 > 0:44:18this is a programme from that particular day.I remember that. It
0:44:18 > 0:44:27was Spurs against Manchester United in 1972. Thank you very much. Really
0:44:27 > 0:44:34kind of you.Thanks a lot. Lovely stuff. Good to see they have given
0:44:34 > 0:44:38you the screws and the bracket for the back. He is picking up presence
0:44:38 > 0:44:43wherever he is going. On the West Brom situation, Alan Pardew is
0:44:43 > 0:44:49overwhelming favourite to take over. People say, why sack Tony Pulis when
0:44:49 > 0:44:54he has never been relegated? People say, some of the football that is
0:44:54 > 0:44:57being played, it is not nice to see. Wolverhampton Wanderers are playing
0:44:57 > 0:45:02so well down the road as well but that may be a feature as well.The
0:45:02 > 0:45:09results are not good enough. There was so much unrest within the West
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Bromwich Albion Stadium that you can understand why the decision was made
0:45:12 > 0:45:17in the end.I think it is to do with the last 20 games. We are talking
0:45:17 > 0:45:21about the back end of last season at the beginning of this season and he
0:45:21 > 0:45:26has only one two games. No manager would keep their jobs after that.
0:45:26 > 0:45:33His record keeping teams in the league is excellent.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Talking about playing five upfront with Ossie Ardiles as boss. Dele
0:45:37 > 0:45:41Alli played deeper with Spurs in the Champions League. Do you like to see
0:45:41 > 0:45:48him in that position?No. He's wasted. The closer he is to Harry
0:45:48 > 0:45:52Kane, the more chancy has of scoring goals in the box.Sounds like you
0:45:52 > 0:45:59are a 5-up top man! Cardiff City are one of the stories of the
0:45:59 > 0:46:04Championship so far, second in the table behind walls. We have been to
0:46:04 > 0:46:10see the boss spending more than half a century in the game.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13# Fairy tales can come true # It can happen to you
0:46:13 > 0:46:24# If you are younger tart. -- if you are young at heart.
0:46:30 > 0:46:3250 years Komula golden anniversary in your marriage with football. No
0:46:32 > 0:46:40signs of divorce just yet.I've had a few close walk-outs in the last
0:46:40 > 0:46:44few years. Thought about retiring on numerous occasions.What is it you
0:46:44 > 0:46:48say you love about the Championship? You said this week you don't really
0:46:48 > 0:46:51want to be a Premier League manager and you didn't enjoy that time and
0:46:51 > 0:46:56don't want to do it again.I didn't say I don't want to do it again, but
0:46:56 > 0:47:00I don't really enjoy the Premier League. I can't put up with chairman
0:47:00 > 0:47:04talking to players and going out with players. I don't like that type
0:47:04 > 0:47:10of players. It's a modern thing with owners and chairman wanting to
0:47:10 > 0:47:12become more involved. The modern manager has so many other things to
0:47:12 > 0:47:18worry about now than when I started. Should you be promoted with Cardiff,
0:47:18 > 0:47:23what will you do then?We have to worry about that one it happens. We
0:47:23 > 0:47:27are miles away from getting promoted. We have only played 18
0:47:27 > 0:47:31games. It's great that clubs like my old club Sheffield United, and
0:47:31 > 0:47:36Cardiff, unfashionable clubs, without any disrespect, we don't
0:47:36 > 0:47:40have the money of Wolves, Middlesbrough, Derby County, Aston
0:47:40 > 0:47:43Villa. They are clawing to get back in the Premier League. It's good we
0:47:43 > 0:47:49have two smaller clubs going for it. You are Yorkshire and no. Is that
0:47:49 > 0:47:55why you have been so successful in what you have done?I do say what I
0:47:55 > 0:48:01think, and it has cost me a few quid over the years. Well, my wife. In
0:48:01 > 0:48:05the end about ten years ago she said, I've had enough now. Whenever
0:48:05 > 0:48:11you get fired now, I want the same amount and me and the kids are going
0:48:11 > 0:48:20to spend it. -- whenever you get fined now. So my fines are double
0:48:20 > 0:48:26now!You took about a good dressing room spirit and good players. That
0:48:26 > 0:48:30seems to be the key, the secret, to what you want to get out of a team
0:48:30 > 0:48:39you work with.Going back to my Notts County and Forest days. Brian
0:48:39 > 0:48:44Clough was still managing. I spoke to a man who played for Brian
0:48:44 > 0:48:48Clough. I asked what it was about him. He said, if I saw him on the
0:48:48 > 0:48:55other side of the road, I would just walk away, I wouldn't notice him.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58But on Saturday, I would die for him. I thought, that's what I want
0:48:58 > 0:49:06from my lads. I've had seven promotions, nobody has had eight.
0:49:06 > 0:49:10When I look back at those seven promotions, every one of those teams
0:49:10 > 0:49:17over the last three years has had reunions, Scarborough, Notts County,
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Huddersfield, Plymouth. Sheffield United. They all have reunions. The
0:49:20 > 0:49:24thing I say about the Premiership, if Manchester City win the league
0:49:24 > 0:49:32this year, will they have a reunion in ten years? Will the top clubs,
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Manchester United, have reunions? No chance. It's all about individuals
0:49:34 > 0:49:41now. All those teams I remember all have characters and great team
0:49:41 > 0:49:44spirit. They get together again and they always the same when I see
0:49:44 > 0:49:49them. They are getting older, but the spirit is there. It brings back
0:49:49 > 0:49:54the memories, all the time, when I go back to these reunions. Let's
0:49:54 > 0:50:00hope we can have a Cardiff City one in a few years.
0:50:00 > 0:50:12STUDIO: Quite a wall chart. Eight promotions if he gets them up in 50
0:50:12 > 0:50:15years in football. That's through playing and managing as well. A
0:50:15 > 0:50:21remarkable achievement.It certainly is. First and foremost, to be in
0:50:21 > 0:50:27football for 50 years is in itself a remarkable achievement. Let alone
0:50:27 > 0:50:31his history as a manager has been excellent. Everywhere he has gone,
0:50:31 > 0:50:35he either got promoted or kept teams in the league. That's a massive
0:50:35 > 0:50:40accomplishment.One game in the Championship already underway, 0-0
0:50:40 > 0:50:45between Barnsley and Leeds United. That kicked off at 12:30pm. A great
0:50:45 > 0:50:49story from League 1, Wigan winger Ryan Colclough was substituted after
0:50:49 > 0:50:55scoring twice in his side 's 3-0 victory over Doncaster on Tuesday.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58That was to get to the birth of his son. The waters broke after he
0:50:58 > 0:51:04scored his first, he left the pitch after scoring his second, and there
0:51:04 > 0:51:09he is celebrating the birth of his second son, Harvey. Wigan will we
0:51:09 > 0:51:19part of our FA Cup on the road show when Wigan take on Fylde. Back to
0:51:19 > 0:51:23the Premier League, Crystal Palace play Stoke at 3pm. We can talk to
0:51:23 > 0:51:28co-owner Steve Parish at Selhurst Park. Thank you for joining us. You
0:51:28 > 0:51:32are bottom of the league, but you must feel that with recent results,
0:51:32 > 0:51:43particularly at home, you are moving in the right direction. ...
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Unfortunately, we can see Steve, but we can't hear him. We can try to
0:51:47 > 0:51:51come back to him when we have sorted out the sound. We can hear from
0:51:51 > 0:51:55Jamie Vardy while we wait. Fingers crossed we get to Steve Parish. The
0:51:55 > 0:52:01World Cup draw takes place in Moscow next week. It's live on BBC Two.
0:52:01 > 0:52:06Jamie Vardy will hope to be part of Gareth Southgate's squad for Russia.
0:52:06 > 0:52:13He has been speaking to us this week.What a screamer!
0:52:17 > 0:52:22What a goal that is. Finished by Jamie Vardy.Leicester City lead
0:52:22 > 0:52:26again. Jamie Vardy did so well there.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33Good to see you. How's life in Leicester, with another manager. How
0:52:33 > 0:52:38have you found that?It's good, he has come in with his own ideas and
0:52:38 > 0:52:44he's getting as into a couple of different formations and making sure
0:52:44 > 0:52:48we are all on board and know our roles in different formations. That
0:52:48 > 0:52:56can only benefit us, having different options. When the gaffer
0:52:56 > 0:53:03has come in we have had some good results. We lost to Manchester City,
0:53:03 > 0:53:08but at the moment they are on fire. He's got it through to David Silva.
0:53:08 > 0:53:15It's a tap in for Gabriel Jesus. That's what Manchester City have
0:53:15 > 0:53:18been doing so brilliantly all season.Everybody is talking about
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Manchester City at the moment. You have had first-hand recent
0:53:21 > 0:53:27experience. How good are they, are they as good as everyone says?I
0:53:27 > 0:53:32chased shadows for a good few half hours. They are really good. You
0:53:32 > 0:53:39can't get to grips with the system. You have sent a full-backs going to
0:53:39 > 0:53:42centre midfield and midfielders pushing up into attack.You know how
0:53:42 > 0:53:46hard it is to win the league and what a grind it is. Do you see them
0:53:46 > 0:53:51having a blip somewhere?At the minute, the way they are playing,
0:53:51 > 0:53:58you would say no, but it's football, so anything can happen.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04That night you won the league in your house. Is that a memory that
0:54:04 > 0:54:10will never leave you?It will never leave me, but I have just sold the
0:54:10 > 0:54:16house!LAUGHTER Memory wise, I will never forget,
0:54:16 > 0:54:22especially the way it happened.Was it a pinch yourself moment?
0:54:22 > 0:54:27Definitely, but it was exactly the same for everyone in the squad. You
0:54:27 > 0:54:30won't have seen it happening if you looked at the start of the season.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34But when it did happen, everyone went into their own little zone of
0:54:34 > 0:54:39being ecstatic and then quiet for a good half an hour, would be what has
0:54:39 > 0:54:44gone on.It's World Cup year. Does that excite you, the opportunity to
0:54:44 > 0:54:49play for your country in a World Cup?It would be massive, but I know
0:54:49 > 0:54:53to have a chance of being in the squad I have to play well for
0:54:53 > 0:54:57Leicester first and foremost. My main focus, when it isn't the
0:54:57 > 0:54:59international break, is on Leicester.More on that on the
0:54:59 > 0:55:06iPlayer. We can cross to Steve Parish again. Over to Selhurst Park,
0:55:06 > 0:55:10we will try again. You were talking about the recent turnaround in form
0:55:10 > 0:55:13and reasons to be positive. Definitely lots of reasons to be
0:55:13 > 0:55:19positive. We are happy with the form but not the results. As Roy Hodgson
0:55:19 > 0:55:22says, you don't get what you deserve, you get what you get.
0:55:22 > 0:55:27Hopefully we have some more luck this week.How big an influence as
0:55:27 > 0:55:33Wilfried Zaha been since he came into the side. And how important is
0:55:33 > 0:55:37it to keep at the club in January? That's out of the question. We need
0:55:37 > 0:55:41to keep going and make sure we get as high as we can up the league.
0:55:41 > 0:55:47Working with Wilfried Zaha around the club is fantastic. He cares so
0:55:47 > 0:55:50much about the club and is a joy to work with for the manager. He makes
0:55:50 > 0:55:54a big difference on the pitch as well. But we have the people who can
0:55:54 > 0:55:57influence the game. Any of those could come through today and we
0:55:57 > 0:56:02don't mind who it is.You say it's out of the question in terms of Zaha
0:56:02 > 0:56:06leaving in January. In terms of bringing players in, how early do
0:56:06 > 0:56:10you start to plan for a transfer window like January considering you
0:56:10 > 0:56:14have changed the manager as well? Obviously you try to plan as early
0:56:14 > 0:56:19as you can. But you don't really know who is available until you
0:56:19 > 0:56:23start to approach the window. Dougie Freedman and the manager and meat
0:56:23 > 0:56:28will be doing as much work as we can to try to prepare as best we can.It
0:56:28 > 0:56:31sense of results between now and then, the games you have between now
0:56:31 > 0:56:37and Christmas, stuck at home, Brighton away, Watford at home,
0:56:37 > 0:56:41Leicester away and Swansea atom. I know there are no easy games, that
0:56:41 > 0:56:49you have a relatively easy run-in to the Christmas period.I don't know
0:56:49 > 0:56:53about comfortable, but the team is more competitive and more teams know
0:56:53 > 0:56:59what it takes to get points in the Premier League. Every day Mr Battle,
0:56:59 > 0:57:04a spectacle for supporters around the world. -- every day is a massive
0:57:04 > 0:57:10battle. It will be different this year. Last year towards the end of
0:57:10 > 0:57:13the season we beat Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, which got us
0:57:13 > 0:57:17the points to survive. This year it might be the teams around us. We
0:57:17 > 0:57:21have to approach each game, try to get confidence flowing through the
0:57:21 > 0:57:27team that we can get wins. First get in touch and then try to climb up
0:57:27 > 0:57:30the league.Thank you for talking to us and sticking around. Enjoy the
0:57:30 > 0:57:35game and we will see you later. We're out of time. Jermaine Jenas
0:57:35 > 0:57:39and Mark Schwarzer, thank you. There is a midweek Match of the Day. We
0:57:39 > 0:57:45are on the road for the FA Cup next weekend. And we will leave you with
0:57:45 > 0:57:49predictions from comedian Michael Dapper.
0:57:59 > 0:58:06One of the characters I play is called Big Shaq and he has a song
0:58:06 > 0:58:14out at the moment called Man's Not Hot. It's massive to know
0:58:14 > 0:58:17footballers are singing it.
0:58:21 > 0:58:25I play Fifa with Danny Welbeck. I played him, and he won by the skin
0:58:25 > 0:58:30of his teeth, and that's because he played Big Shaq. If he played
0:58:30 > 0:58:37Michael... Different story, Tempo Mac. Prediction is king. I'm the
0:58:37 > 0:58:44prince, and sometimes the Prince eats the King. Liverpool against
0:58:44 > 0:58:50Chelsea, the big one... I say draw, 2-2.
0:58:59 > 0:59:04It is so mad, if Arsenal are on form, they will take it, too - one.
0:59:04 > 0:59:08If it's an off day, I don't know. I
