:00:55. > :01:10.Mata on Manchester United's perfect start.
:01:11. > :01:16.Feeling great but we are calm about it. This is the beginning.
:01:17. > :01:29.Jonathan Walters talks new challenges and old faces.
:01:30. > :01:35.Only knew a few of the boys. It is great.

:01:42. > :01:46.Mick McCarthy edits his own interview.
:01:47. > :01:54.Your producer has a tough task. I have enjoyed the chat so if they do
:01:55. > :01:57.not show any of it I am not bothered.
:01:58. > :02:02.And Hollywood star Channing Tatum reveals his soccer prowess.
:02:03. > :02:06.I was less of a skilled player and more of a slam into each other
:02:07. > :02:09.person. This is how the Premier
:02:10. > :02:11.League weekend looks. We'll have team news
:02:12. > :02:12.from Bournemouth shortly. We'll also be at high
:02:13. > :02:14.flying Huddersfield, And we'll check in on fellow new
:02:15. > :02:18.boys Brighton who are at Watford. Palace, Swansea, Newcastle
:02:19. > :02:21.and West Ham are all looking No such problems for
:02:22. > :02:24.Manchester United, who will seek to extend their perfect
:02:25. > :02:25.start against Leicester. Four games tomorrow including
:02:26. > :02:28.a battle of the Blues at Stamford Bridge
:02:29. > :02:30.and an all Red rumble We will start at the very top
:02:31. > :02:43.of the Premier League Rachel Stringer has been
:02:44. > :02:55.to see the Special Juan. Sounds of celebration sweep around
:02:56. > :03:04.Old Trafford. Perfect start so far to the season. Feeling great. Calm
:03:05. > :03:09.about it. As the manager said this is the beginning so we need to keep
:03:10. > :03:16.calm. Matty Chand Lukaku got off to flying start, Matic especially. It
:03:17. > :03:22.seems as if Mourinho likes to bring any solid base. A lot of qualities
:03:23. > :03:31.for being that type of player and the manager knows it. A really
:03:32. > :03:36.complete midfielder. Here comes Lukaku, you are going to hear that a
:03:37. > :03:42.lot this season. How has managed to fit in so well so quickly? It is
:03:43. > :03:46.good tea has done it quick because it is important to get confidence
:03:47. > :03:58.back. I am sure he will score many more. The latter and is back. How
:03:59. > :04:07.does he make the team feel? He is very confident still he can give us
:04:08. > :04:15.confidence. It can be a big boost for us. To try to fight for the
:04:16. > :04:21.titles. Your role, you have scope to do a little bit what you want. I am
:04:22. > :04:25.playing from the right position but coming inside which is what I like.
:04:26. > :04:31.We play enough leeway which is good for qualities and it has been good
:04:32. > :04:37.in these two games and hopefully in many more games to come. You seem
:04:38. > :04:50.super relaxed. You sit back a bit. You have hobbies outside of sport.
:04:51. > :04:56.Culture, arts, you play the piano. Now, that was just one song. One
:04:57. > :05:01.song is more than I can play. How does that help you translate onto
:05:02. > :05:10.the field? I do not know if it helps me or not but it is what it is. The
:05:11. > :05:15.things I like to do like another person. I consider ourselves very
:05:16. > :05:19.lucky to play football in that level and to be professional footballers
:05:20. > :05:22.but we are human and we have hobbies and what we like and what we do not
:05:23. > :05:32.like. I do not know if it is helping me on the pitch but it is what I
:05:33. > :05:37.like to do. Common Goal, this new charity, where did it start? I got
:05:38. > :05:41.in contact and we had a few conversations that we thought we
:05:42. > :05:46.would do something to bring football together as a sport and give to the
:05:47. > :05:52.community as much as we can in terms of everyone helping and we started
:05:53. > :05:56.with the voluntary donations but we hope it is going to be within the
:05:57. > :06:08.footballing structure which will help. 2-0! Super goal. Next up
:06:09. > :06:16.Leicester. Are you looking to push on and get your first goal of the
:06:17. > :06:19.season? That would be perfect. Leicester two years ago won free
:06:20. > :06:32.Premier League. They kept big players.
:06:33. > :06:47.A couple of days ago you put this on Inspector Ram. Hopefully it can
:06:48. > :06:51.remind us how to put this club where it is at which is trying to win be
:06:52. > :06:57.Premier League and trying to win the Champions League. He is giving 1% of
:06:58. > :07:02.his salary to charity. And encouraging other footballers
:07:03. > :07:13.to do the same. When you look at how they are
:07:14. > :07:20.playing, they are clinical. They have departments doing their jobs.
:07:21. > :07:28.Matic in front. The rest of the midfield players you think Gore
:07:29. > :07:39.where you want to go. Pogba does not have a position. The power, strength
:07:40. > :07:47.and ability, they will end up in the top two IFS they do not win. Look at
:07:48. > :07:50.them, look at the strain. Enjoying the freedom they have been given
:07:51. > :08:01.going forward and he thrives on that. The guys in midfield, Pogba,
:08:02. > :08:08.her red, there is no, you do that, leave that to defend and go and play
:08:09. > :08:14.and win games. Mourinho only gives out freedom if he knows they are at
:08:15. > :08:25.the back. Ibrahimovic announced his training on social media. Kept it on
:08:26. > :08:33.the lowdown. Is that a no-brainer? Of course. He may not be available
:08:34. > :08:40.until January but why not? Lukaku started extremely well. He is a top
:08:41. > :08:46.footballer. The other teams think he might be have Lukaku and think all
:08:47. > :08:51.dear. Remember Henrik Larsson signed in January? The same sort of
:08:52. > :09:00.signing. United always sign the same. We will talk about the
:09:01. > :09:07.Champions League later. Leicester are at Old Trafford at tea-time. Got
:09:08. > :09:11.off to a good start. Yesterday lost against Arsenal. It seems like Craig
:09:12. > :09:17.Shakespeare is carrying on the good work. They looked like they are back
:09:18. > :09:22.to their championship winning form. When vardy-mac plays well and is
:09:23. > :09:27.having energy and making runs Leicester follow suit. We will talk
:09:28. > :09:34.about McGwire later but he is a massive addition. Marries is doing
:09:35. > :09:38.what he does. Leicester are starting to get on a roll and they will keep
:09:39. > :09:47.things simple and when they do they become a good side. Why would you
:09:48. > :09:53.not set up the team for Vardy? You would win the league.
:09:54. > :09:55.It's been a Manchester United old boy dominating the headlines
:09:56. > :09:58.these past few days as England's all time leading goal scorer announced
:09:59. > :10:13.Is he good enough? Is he ready? Wayne Rooney! Let not get too
:10:14. > :10:21.carried away. I think we might have found one. Rooney! The teenage
:10:22. > :10:28.terror strikes again. We are very lucky to have such a good player in
:10:29. > :10:39.the team. Rooney's shot. He delivers. A bit of anger going on
:10:40. > :10:40.here. Ronaldo ask a referee to do something. He has gone to his
:10:41. > :10:56.pocket. Rooney has booted in. England have
:10:57. > :11:06.the lead that they so desperately needed. Rooney is there. Wayne
:11:07. > :11:21.Rooney's first-ever World Cup finals goal. Bobby Charlton's England
:11:22. > :11:27.goal-scoring record has gone. He calls time on his international
:11:28. > :11:33.career. He is leaving on his terms, which is the perfect time. I can
:11:34. > :11:38.wish him all the best. He should look back on his career with immense
:11:39. > :11:42.pride, his international career, the highest scorer in English
:11:43. > :11:47.footballing history, a fabulous achievement. What a cracking way to
:11:48. > :11:55.bow out the fabulous career. He is a legend. I had many good players at
:11:56. > :12:00.that time but really of course was one of the best. Is he a legend? If
:12:01. > :12:04.you are the most capped and the record goal-scorer I am not sure
:12:05. > :12:24.what else you have to do to be a legend. Legend. Absolutely.
:12:25. > :12:32.Easy to forget just how good he was when he burst on the scene.
:12:33. > :12:43.Will he go down as an all-time great? He deserves to. He has been
:12:44. > :12:49.levelled out and he has been great. All of those names are great sound
:12:50. > :12:56.he is at the top of the list. Jimmy Greaves, it never gets old seeing
:12:57. > :13:03.him. Some of the criticism is Euro 2000 and 44-mac goals in four games.
:13:04. > :13:09.In major tournament that is where people point the finger, three goals
:13:10. > :13:16.in 17 games after that. If there was a dark side it is not getting the
:13:17. > :13:22.goals that he should be at the performances. We expected so much.
:13:23. > :13:28.When was the last time England were any good at a major tournament?
:13:29. > :13:44.1990? Only 27 years ago. What do you expect? Coming back into the Spain
:13:45. > :13:49.squad, could he come back? He is behind Dele Alli and he would not
:13:50. > :13:54.want that. His announcement has been really selfless witches class. It is
:13:55. > :14:11.the right time. He is happy and his football. This is the England squad.
:14:12. > :14:15.Maguire, Nathaniel Chalobah well. Similar kind of footballer. A lot of
:14:16. > :14:23.defenders defend and there are players and he is a footballer who
:14:24. > :14:26.can play. I played with Gareth Southgate at Aston Villa quite a lot
:14:27. > :14:33.and I see a lot of highly Maguire in his game. He impressed last season.
:14:34. > :14:38.I saw him playing for Jeff felt United in league one and he was very
:14:39. > :14:46.similar, good defender, good defensive decisions, but also comes
:14:47. > :14:56.and joined them and played. Watch this. Pulls his centre forward
:14:57. > :15:02.towards him. Fouls him and gets away with it. Nothing wrong with that.
:15:03. > :15:08.Playing in the back three where you can charge out but he can play
:15:09. > :15:12.either. He can play either. It is like having an extra player because
:15:13. > :15:19.when he comes into midfield he releases people. Shakespeare has got
:15:20. > :15:23.it right because he will let him come out with the ball, and the
:15:24. > :15:31.other three defenders come round for that cover. And he is a big lad!
:15:32. > :15:33.Thanks for that. We will talk about England more on next week's
:15:34. > :15:36.international programme. Well, Rooney's announcement came off
:15:37. > :15:38.the back of Everton's trip to the Etihad to face
:15:39. > :15:52.Manchester City, and this is how Manchester City and Everton, the
:15:53. > :16:00.first match of this new season. The first yellow card. Shoots, and it's
:16:01. > :16:10.the post. He holds his shaven head, David Silva. Mason Holgate is
:16:11. > :16:20.approaching the penalty area. Calvert-Lewin beat his man. It's in!
:16:21. > :16:29.Everton take the lead. City zero, Everton one. Just a little late from
:16:30. > :16:34.Kyle Walker. I think he might be in trouble, you know. It's a second
:16:35. > :16:38.yellow card, and Kyle Walker is sent off. Pep Guardiola is furious.
:16:39. > :16:52.Manchester City have a lot of work to do. High and wide, Raheem
:16:53. > :16:58.Sterling. A very good save. Time beginning to run out the Manchester
:16:59. > :17:06.City. Danilov aiming for David Silva. And the ten men of Manchester
:17:07. > :17:25.City have found the equaliser. Schneider ling.
:17:26. > :17:27.We already talked a lot about Wayne Rooney, covered the most
:17:28. > :17:30.distance of any Everton player on the night but Dion, another
:17:31. > :17:40.Dominic Calvert-Lewin - what do you like about this young man? He covers
:17:41. > :17:44.a lot of bases. He doesn't mind running, works incredibly hard, a
:17:45. > :17:50.big lad with pace, occupies more than one defender at a time. Look at
:17:51. > :17:58.this one, in between defenders. Otamendi is out of position. They
:17:59. > :18:03.don't know what to do. Do they go tight, dropped off? Then he picks
:18:04. > :18:06.the right decision. If you are watching, he is concentrating all
:18:07. > :18:11.the time on where to go, which defender to go on, and he finds the
:18:12. > :18:15.space out wide on this occasion, holds it up, looks to see whether
:18:16. > :18:26.support is coming from. He keeps going. This is the Everton goal.
:18:27. > :18:32.Company does well, and Sane gives it away. I will pose here. Look at this
:18:33. > :18:37.pace they've got. They are four on four at the moment. The defending is
:18:38. > :18:39.not great. Fernandinho needs to go to the man on the ball, that's the
:18:40. > :18:55.first thing. Kompany is fine. He then gets drawn
:18:56. > :19:01.to the ball as well. It looks a simple goal, which it is, but from
:19:02. > :19:08.City's point of view, it is an awful one to concede. When you play with
:19:09. > :19:11.three, playing against one guy, we all look at each other anything,
:19:12. > :19:16.there's enough of us, but the thing with Calvert-Lewin is that he
:19:17. > :19:20.stretched them brilliantly, and they had no idea whether to go tight,
:19:21. > :19:24.whether to stand-off. Otamendi should have gone tight as well. It
:19:25. > :19:29.is very difficult if nobody knows what they are doing. Once they get
:19:30. > :19:34.it right, as we saw the Chelsea last year, it is very simple. He makes
:19:35. > :19:43.defenders do that. It is because he runs all over. Go with him if he
:19:44. > :19:46.goes down the right, and that is your job done. Pep Guardiola didn't
:19:47. > :19:56.want to talk about the red cards, but we will. Kyle Walker, and the
:19:57. > :20:03.keeper. The Kyle Walker one first. I think it is a foul, but it's not a
:20:04. > :20:08.yellow. Yes just getting in front of him and making it difficult. It is
:20:09. > :20:14.so not a yellow card. Once you have had a yellow, you have to be
:20:15. > :20:18.careful. I think it is down to sheer frustration at Calvert-Lewin playing
:20:19. > :20:25.so well - how can they stop him? I think it is a free kick. He is
:20:26. > :20:37.nowhere near the ball. He is convinced... Never a free kick. He
:20:38. > :20:43.gets the ball cleanly. Trailing leg... Can you go in with that pace?
:20:44. > :20:47.You can't, once you have had a booking. Jackie Elka is there, and
:20:48. > :20:55.Aguero has his back to it. He can't do it. You do it in training all
:20:56. > :20:59.week. If you see that you can win the ball, and you do win it, it has
:21:00. > :21:04.got to be frustrating. It has happened to me many times in my
:21:05. > :21:07.career. Not a happy man. He will miss the game against Chelsea.
:21:08. > :21:10.Manchester City are at Bournemouth today.
:21:11. > :21:25.Not the opponents they would have chosen to face today. An aggregate
:21:26. > :21:29.score of 15-1. Jermain Defoe named in the England squad yesterday makes
:21:30. > :21:40.his first opera Bournemouth today. Dan Gosling and Tyrone Ming are also
:21:41. > :21:43.playing. Barnardo Silva starts for the first time, having come off the
:21:44. > :21:50.bench in the opening couple of games. Raheem Sterling is rewarded
:21:51. > :21:53.for his efforts and his equaliser against Everton on Monday night with
:21:54. > :22:01.his first start of the season. City go to a back four, with John Stones
:22:02. > :22:08.God is the dropping to the bench. And both of you think this is a far
:22:09. > :22:13.more balanced Manchester City side. We heard a nasty rumour that there
:22:14. > :22:18.would be three at the back and Mendy would play in the middle of the
:22:19. > :22:24.centre-backs. They have changed the system again. Spent all this money
:22:25. > :22:27.in the summer, got all these players, and they might sign another
:22:28. > :22:33.one or two mat, but you're thinking, is Pep Guardiola trying to be too
:22:34. > :22:39.clever? He can afford to try to be clever, because more often than not
:22:40. > :22:43.he will be successful. With world-class players, you will get
:22:44. > :22:46.away with it. It has not been a great start to the season from
:22:47. > :22:50.Bournemouth, struggling to score goals. Defoe starts for the first
:22:51. > :22:57.time. What do they lack? They need to go like that. If they do that,
:22:58. > :23:02.and they all defend, they will be a lot better off! They need more going
:23:03. > :23:07.this way as well, don't they? They need to score goals. Today, they
:23:08. > :23:11.have just got to defend and see what they can get. They are Brett Goode
:23:12. > :23:21.site, they can be, but today, on this occasion, just stop them
:23:22. > :23:32.scoring in the first 15 minutes. -- they are a good side. He makes a
:23:33. > :23:37.great run here and does fantastic for Watford's first goal. The
:23:38. > :23:43.awareness, as a centre forward, get across your man, put the keeper
:23:44. > :23:46.under pressure as well. There wasn't really a formation that they stuck
:23:47. > :23:53.to. The defenders didn't know whether to come or stay. Watford, to
:23:54. > :23:57.be fair, came out and played well. Can you press that magic button?
:23:58. > :23:59.Time now to talk Burnley, and the latest addition
:24:00. > :24:17.to the Claret collective, Jonathan Walters.
:24:18. > :24:23.How you settling and how was everything going from a personal
:24:24. > :24:28.perspective? It is like the Republic of Burnley, isn't it? It's great. I
:24:29. > :24:33.only knew a few of the boys. I knew a few of the staff coming in will
:24:34. > :24:38.submit a good place to work. So far, so good. Really enjoying it. The
:24:39. > :24:44.faces coming in, is that on your mind? You go away on international
:24:45. > :24:49.games and you talk to the boys, so you now that -- so you know how the
:24:50. > :24:54.setup is going to be. It is brand-new, and it is an unbelievable
:24:55. > :24:58.setup, not just the Irish boys and a light you have come across in your
:24:59. > :25:04.career anyway, but everyone, the whole staff, the kitchen staff, the
:25:05. > :25:11.physios, the media guys - it's like a big family. Ten years ago you were
:25:12. > :25:13.with Chester, and then all of a sudden, the turnaround is
:25:14. > :25:20.incredible, particularly your time at Stoke. How do you reflect on
:25:21. > :25:23.that? Great, yeah. Great owners, they built properly. They have done
:25:24. > :25:27.it right over the past few years, and a lot of teams would want to
:25:28. > :25:42.copy that model of how to build slowly. It is a business. Made some
:25:43. > :25:46.great friends there. You talk about players and staff that you see every
:25:47. > :25:52.day, you spend more time with them than you do with your family. I had
:25:53. > :25:57.a really enjoyable time, and I think you've got to enjoy it. Was a
:25:58. > :26:09.daunting coming to a new club and almost having to start again? -- was
:26:10. > :26:17.it daunting. I was like, a lot of them were in the early part of their
:26:18. > :26:21.career. If you look at the past two mat clubs, it has been a long time.
:26:22. > :26:31.It is like the first day at school in a new school. It doesn't daunt me
:26:32. > :26:40.one bit. COMMENTATOR: Unbelievable. Sean Dyche's Burnley have beaten
:26:41. > :26:48.Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. If you look at his sides in the last couple
:26:49. > :26:53.of years, Sean Dyche is, it takes lads a little while to make their
:26:54. > :27:01.way permanently into the team. I have got to work my way into the
:27:02. > :27:05.team. I have played up front, behind, to the right, to the left.
:27:06. > :27:09.It doesn't bother me where I played. I think that is a draw to managers
:27:10. > :27:12.when they look at me, because I will play three or four mag different
:27:13. > :27:19.positions in a game and it doesn't bother me. I knew I wouldn't be
:27:20. > :27:21.straight into the team here. You have to work your way in. There's no
:27:22. > :27:25.messing about. We'll hear more from
:27:26. > :27:27.Jonathan Walters next Saturday ahead of the Republic
:27:28. > :27:30.of Ireland's World Cup qualifiers. Lawro Walters helped establish Stoke
:27:31. > :27:46.as top flight regulars. He is a shrewd purchase, isn't he? I
:27:47. > :27:50.don't know what they paid, ?3 million? It's relatively nothing
:27:51. > :27:54.nowadays. As he said, he has experience up front, right, left.
:27:55. > :27:59.He's big, strong, loads of experience in the Premier league. I
:28:00. > :28:03.think he is a clever signing. When you think about Bournemouth's
:28:04. > :28:06.stuttering start to the season, but that opening day victory against
:28:07. > :28:10.Chelsea, it just lifts confidence levels when you need it at the start
:28:11. > :28:17.of the season. It tells them that they can, basically. It was the
:28:18. > :28:20.start of the season, an amazing win at Chelsea, but they know they have
:28:21. > :28:29.got it in their locker to do that, so it is down to them. They have
:28:30. > :28:32.more less pressure on themselves. Talking recruitment, Chris Woods is
:28:33. > :28:38.a record signing from these. Andre Gray went to Watford. ?15 million.
:28:39. > :28:44.He has been around a long time, has played international football - what
:28:45. > :28:50.can he bring to Burnley? Power and consistency. Sean Dyche likes to
:28:51. > :28:54.play around. He wants players that going, do a job, and then he will
:28:55. > :28:59.deal with the parts of the pitch that need to be dealt with. If he
:29:00. > :29:05.goes in, he will do a job. He will say, there you go, Chris, get on
:29:06. > :29:11.with that. And he well. They have big and strong players. -- and he
:29:12. > :29:12.will. It's Tottenham tomorrow for Burnley,
:29:13. > :29:15.and that means a trip to Wembley, which last week hosted its inaugural
:29:16. > :29:31.Premier League game. COMMENTATOR: English football has no
:29:32. > :29:41.bigger stage for a meeting of last season's top two. Moratti should
:29:42. > :30:03.have scored. Free kick. Alonso. It's brilliant, and absolute master! It
:30:04. > :30:11.hits the post! Eriksson... Own goal. Oh, and it's in! Spurs hit by the
:30:12. > :30:14.sucker punch. Marcos Alonso again for Chelsea. Tottenham start at
:30:15. > :30:22.Wembley with a defeat. Yet again, Chelsea pipped them. All that talk
:30:23. > :30:27.of Chelsea's demise after the first game quickly removed. Can I ask
:30:28. > :30:31.about Tottenham? What happens if they get an FA Cup semifinal? Who do
:30:32. > :30:35.they play? I imagine they wouldn't play at Wembley. We will try to get
:30:36. > :30:36.to the bottom of that by the end of the programme. Thanks for asking
:30:37. > :30:53.live! Antonio Conte knee got it spot on.
:30:54. > :30:58.In terms of tactics. He has come back and done great. He can do that.
:30:59. > :31:03.He is the kind of player you can put in different positions all over the
:31:04. > :31:06.pitch. I am not saying you can rely on him to stay in those positions
:31:07. > :31:13.but he has the quality to do the job. One of those players that can
:31:14. > :31:20.play anywhere. The transfer window closes next Thursday. Tottenham have
:31:21. > :31:25.signed Sanches and brought in a goalkeeper. Where else would you get
:31:26. > :31:33.to see them strengthen? To have a tilt at the title. The two centre
:31:34. > :31:42.halves are very good. Where is the cover? He comes another part of
:31:43. > :31:48.that. You have Eric Dier as well. He is not a centre-half for me. He is a
:31:49. > :31:56.better centre-half than central midfield player. Cover up top. In
:31:57. > :32:09.midfield I think they are fine but at the back and upfront, maybe one
:32:10. > :32:15.more defender. We said they would not score goals and they did. To
:32:16. > :32:19.sustain a title push if you can get somebody to play up front... The
:32:20. > :32:23.problem is who do you get because Harry Kane is going to play every
:32:24. > :32:28.week? Who can you attract us that on the bench? Who is going to allow
:32:29. > :32:37.themselves to sign and maybe get ten games? Chelsea, whether they bring
:32:38. > :32:49.in somebody. Doubt it. One, maybe two. Chelsea wanted again,
:32:50. > :32:53.definitely. Champions League, Manchester United's group, here are
:32:54. > :33:05.the groups involving Chelsea and Tottenham, Atletico Madrid... Gareth
:33:06. > :33:11.Bale back at Tottenham is advertising as ever. All of the
:33:12. > :33:16.Premier League teams should qualify. With the players and the depth of
:33:17. > :33:19.squad they have these should but in Europe the game is completely
:33:20. > :33:25.different and we have not come to terms with it. Interesting to see
:33:26. > :33:28.how Tottenham adjusted Champions League football this season. Playing
:33:29. > :33:32.league games at Wembley but that has been an issue because they have
:33:33. > :33:37.played such a standard of opposition at Wembley and have not been able to
:33:38. > :33:42.get a record going. Regularly getting into the top batch of
:33:43. > :33:47.Premier League sides and deserve to be there. That pushes you enter the
:33:48. > :33:53.Champions League. They are not quite there. They have the attributes to
:33:54. > :33:58.do so but the game is very different. You have to change your
:33:59. > :34:01.game from Premier League to Champions League. Absolutely. If you
:34:02. > :34:05.keep giving the ball away in the Champions League you will not see it
:34:06. > :34:07.for a while. It takes a while to learn that.
:34:08. > :34:09.Watford welcome Brighton to Vicarage Road this afternoon.
:34:10. > :34:13.A shock League Cup exit to Bristol City in the week,
:34:14. > :34:29.Tuesday night as I did have been very positive. If I was a Watford
:34:30. > :34:33.fan I would be taking positive vibes from the manager Marco Silva because
:34:34. > :34:40.he was keen to underline what he expects from his players three the
:34:41. > :34:45.event of his time here. Watford have these short-term policy, hiring and
:34:46. > :34:50.firing by the season. I wondered if that will change with Marco Silva.
:34:51. > :34:54.He is a keeper. The dealing he has done so far, the players he has
:34:55. > :35:01.brought in, I can see Watford being in the middle of the pack.
:35:02. > :35:04.Positivity from Watford. What about Brighton? Fantastic last time round
:35:05. > :35:12.that they have not picked up points in the Premier League so far.
:35:13. > :35:16.Concerns? Not yet. It is difficult to play Manchester City and
:35:17. > :35:23.Leicester in the first few games. They have West Brom and then bomb.
:35:24. > :35:30.The extra difficulty is making and taking chances. Last season was like
:35:31. > :35:33.Championship Player of the Year there's back and fit. We will see of
:35:34. > :35:39.he is ready. They have their Colombian winner and on his day he
:35:40. > :35:45.could win games for Brighton the season. Today might be one of those
:35:46. > :35:54.days. From one of those days to back in the day. Who is this who featured
:35:55. > :36:00.here are quite a few days ago? Look at those leg muscles. The
:36:01. > :36:09.concentration on the ball. You will know after ten days. City at home is
:36:10. > :36:13.a nightmare. He is right, who is going to score the goals to keep you
:36:14. > :36:16.in the Premier League? That is the big thing. Look at Newcastle.
:36:17. > :36:19.Focus will be on the road with Brighton at the Amex in two
:36:20. > :36:22.weeks and there's more from Guy at Watford on Final Score later.
:36:23. > :36:25.Will Perry stands in for Jason and has Garth Crooks
:36:26. > :36:29.Gary has highlights from all six of today's games in the company
:36:30. > :36:32.If you missed any of our football programmes then
:36:33. > :36:36.Focus is available from midnight tonight.
:36:37. > :36:39.And following us today at 2pm from Wembley there's live coverage
:36:40. > :36:42.of the Challenge Cup Final between Hull FC and Wigan
:36:43. > :36:51.We'll look ahead to a whopper at Anfield.
:36:52. > :36:59.Mick McCarthy reflects upon his younger self.
:37:00. > :37:04.He did not have any trouble fastening his laces. He did not have
:37:05. > :37:06.to put his glasses on. And it's Magic Mike
:37:07. > :37:09.versus Mystic Mark as Hollywood star Another of the teams
:37:10. > :37:15.who've made a bright start Two league wins and yet to concede
:37:16. > :37:20.a goal, and one of the men who can take credit for that is
:37:21. > :37:41.defender Craig Dawson. Congratulations, a new three year
:37:42. > :37:47.deal, this place must feel like home, you must be delighted to get
:37:48. > :37:52.it done early. Definitely. A good start to the season. Hopefully we
:37:53. > :37:54.will continue. When you look back to the boy collecting glasses in the
:37:55. > :38:00.pub could you have imagined this would have happened to you?
:38:01. > :38:06.Definitely not. It has been a long great journey. I was doing my
:38:07. > :38:10.A-levels and working in the pub band playing semiprofessional and it was
:38:11. > :38:15.hard, difficult. You always dream of playing in the Premiership and have
:38:16. > :38:19.a good career and you have to keep learning and developing. You have an
:38:20. > :38:22.opportunity to go and play non-league football. Is that the
:38:23. > :38:29.moment you think changed your life? Definitely. I was playing with a lot
:38:30. > :38:34.of ex-professionals and they looked after me and I learned footballer
:38:35. > :38:38.hard way. I think you have only missed one game in the last two
:38:39. > :38:43.seasons which is incredible. You do not go through a full season without
:38:44. > :38:47.feeling pain at some point. Is that a love for the game that you put
:38:48. > :38:51.yourself out there? Definitely. You want to play in every game in the
:38:52. > :38:55.Premier League and be part of the team. We have a great squad and
:38:56. > :39:02.everybody wants to be in the starting XI and it is great for the
:39:03. > :39:09.team. How much are you enjoying being back? Yeah, it has been really
:39:10. > :39:12.good, playing centre-half is probably my preferred position and
:39:13. > :39:18.we have started well so will play acting keep the position and keep us
:39:19. > :39:22.doing well as a team. Injury to some of the centre halves means you have
:39:23. > :39:28.gone back into that position, Jonny Evans has been in the news recently
:39:29. > :39:32.with a link to Manchester City, possibly raising eyebrows outside of
:39:33. > :39:37.the club, how has it been in the squad? He the top professional and a
:39:38. > :39:41.great player. We have not been listening to stories and have been
:39:42. > :39:47.focusing on the games ahead. We do everything we can on the pitch and
:39:48. > :39:58.we have a very close squad and we had some good additions in the
:39:59. > :40:03.summer. The squad is looking good. You have signed for another three
:40:04. > :40:08.years which will take you until 2020. Ten years at the club. What
:40:09. > :40:14.does West Brom mean to you? Yeah, it means a lot to me. I have been here
:40:15. > :40:22.quite a while. It has been some journey and hopefully I can keep it
:40:23. > :40:28.going. You need dependable players like that. One game missed in two
:40:29. > :40:35.seasons. They have made a great start. Never met him, get the
:40:36. > :40:39.impression he is a good solid professional and his performance
:40:40. > :40:45.levels are up there. Tony Pulis likes people who are reliable. I
:40:46. > :40:50.believe he can do his job. He seems incredibly quiet but when you get a
:40:51. > :40:56.player like that over the white line they think this is me, I can be
:40:57. > :41:05.noisy, I can do my job. I am pleased he has a new contract. Beware the
:41:06. > :41:16.quiet ones! West Brom brought in a couple of good signings. Barry and
:41:17. > :41:24.Rodriguez. It is interesting because one of them hardly started for
:41:25. > :41:28.Leipzig. He is big and strong and showed up fantastically well at
:41:29. > :41:38.Forest. You are buying potential rather than somebody... Look at the
:41:39. > :41:46.size of him. For a wide player. You picked out Gareth Barry as a wise
:41:47. > :41:52.signing. What do you like about him? Going to a team like West Brom, ease
:41:53. > :41:56.quite like West Brom, Tony Pulis has been shrewd, he is the kind of
:41:57. > :42:03.player that will do Tony Pulis' job for him in the dressing room.
:42:04. > :42:10.Perfect. Saido Berahino back at the Hawthorns. He needs to start
:42:11. > :42:20.playing. Scoring. He needs to do both. You shake your head. I would
:42:21. > :42:24.be embarrassed about his record. He has had a couple of injuries but a
:42:25. > :42:29.lot of it has been on his head, his attitude has not been great. Not
:42:30. > :42:35.that we know the ins and outs. He has to start repaying himself for
:42:36. > :42:42.letting himself down. Badly advised when he was younger. Sometimes the
:42:43. > :42:47.penny drops. It needs to drop soon. He can start showing what a good
:42:48. > :42:51.player he can be. He is a good goal scorer. Once he gets a smile on his
:42:52. > :42:55.face and gets some appearances he will be fine.
:42:56. > :42:57.We've already heard from Manchester United and West Brom,
:42:58. > :43:00.but there's a third Premier League team boasting a 100%
:43:01. > :43:13.This is what happened last week after their 1-0 victory over
:43:14. > :43:19.Newcastle. A 45 year wait for top-flight well worth it.
:43:20. > :43:30.Southampton. The tone must be bouncing.
:43:31. > :43:35.It certainly is. Huddersfield Town flags and all kinds of stuff around
:43:36. > :43:39.the town. A feel-good factor. Standing with me somebody who has
:43:40. > :43:47.been a full CAD with Huddersfield Town as a player and manager, Peter
:43:48. > :43:51.Jackson. An extraordinary start. Remind people, at the beginning of
:43:52. > :43:57.last season Huddersfield were one of the favourites to be relegated out
:43:58. > :44:04.of the Championship. They could be top of the Premier League tonight.
:44:05. > :44:10.Amazing. And to win promotion after being favourites to go down and to
:44:11. > :44:17.win promotion on the play-off. Little did we know there would be
:44:18. > :44:25.two back-to-back wins. An amazing start. Today will be a tough test,
:44:26. > :44:35.Southampton have a lot of quality. A magnificent start by Huddersfield.
:44:36. > :44:38.Testament to David Whitener. People knew him as somebody who worked
:44:39. > :44:43.under Jurgen Klopp. It must have been a repulsive to appoint him and
:44:44. > :44:52.he has been rewarded. Without a doubt. People were seeing David who?
:44:53. > :44:57.His first full season, he came in October, he kept the club in the
:44:58. > :45:00.Championship and in his first full season he then some really good
:45:01. > :45:05.players in the summer and went on to win promotion and he will go on and
:45:06. > :45:11.be a fantastic manager in the future. It will not be long before
:45:12. > :45:19.bigger clubs come in for him. You are an adopted son of this town. A
:45:20. > :45:26.beautiful tone. What has the last few months done for it?
:45:27. > :45:35.You can feel the atmosphere, and it is 42 years since we were last in
:45:36. > :45:41.the big-time. They have always talked about that, the old fans. And
:45:42. > :45:48.it is nice to see those days back. It is a new era in the Premier
:45:49. > :45:53.league. Everyone in the town and the surrounding towns are enjoying the
:45:54. > :45:57.experience. It's like what Leicester were a few years ago, everybody's
:45:58. > :46:01.second-team. It is nice to be associated with it. This is a
:46:02. > :46:07.football club we shouldn't forget that has Herbert Chapman and Bill
:46:08. > :46:18.Shankly amongst its former managers, so the bar reset pretty high.
:46:19. > :46:29.Plenty more coverage of that on Final Score.
:46:30. > :46:34.Manchester City are a goal down against Bournemouth. Make sure you
:46:35. > :46:42.catch up with that on much of the day later on. -- Match of the Day.
:46:43. > :46:43.And that's new boys Huddersfield Town.
:46:44. > :46:53.These were the scenes at full time last week
:46:54. > :46:56.From the new boys to a couple of the Premier League's ever-presents:
:46:57. > :46:59.Two different managers, two contrasting philosophies, but
:47:00. > :47:16.COMMENTATOR: Walcott also it's an ecstatic stadium. I like heavy
:47:17. > :47:24.metal. COMMENTATOR: Another classic. Liverpool... Here comes Alan. That
:47:25. > :47:31.puts Liverpool 1-0 up. Liverpool in the driving seat now. A brilliant
:47:32. > :47:41.goal. What a goal! What a performance from Liverpool! Two
:47:42. > :47:45.games in. Do you think we have seen the strengths and weaknesses of
:47:46. > :47:51.these teams that we noticed last season as well? Yeah, both can't
:47:52. > :47:56.defend. Is it as simple as that? Arsenal have a soft underbelly. And
:47:57. > :48:07.Liverpool will always concede goals because of the way they played.
:48:08. > :48:15.Wenger Lev Sanchez out -- left Sanchez out. We have spoken about
:48:16. > :48:19.Arsenal's soft underbelly for years, but it hasn't been dealt with. And I
:48:20. > :48:24.think that is where they have gone wrong. Deal with this serious
:48:25. > :48:29.problems, stop adding players that make you look good and to play the
:48:30. > :48:38.way you play anyway. Is an issue that Klopp has at the moment is
:48:39. > :48:43.Coutinho. It will become a real problem if Coutinho goes in and
:48:44. > :48:47.says, I don't want to play. That has not been in his character yet.
:48:48. > :48:53.Absolutely not. He has asked for a transfer - fine. But he hasn't yet
:48:54. > :48:59.gone in and said, by the way, I don't want to play. If he does, that
:49:00. > :49:10.is problematic. Dembele has gone from Dortmund for about ?135 million
:49:11. > :49:15.to Barcelona. Is that all? Yes! Do you think a team will be eight
:49:16. > :49:26.Barcelona player by the end of the deadline? No. I hope he stays. He
:49:27. > :49:29.might be in the Suarez situation, where he says, play another season
:49:30. > :49:33.up and then you can go, but just help us win the league. I would like
:49:34. > :49:38.interstate. You cannot have a disaffected player in the dressing
:49:39. > :49:41.room. And if you will get ?135 million for him, you may have to
:49:42. > :49:44.make a decision in the next few days. Wherever he goes, he will play
:49:45. > :50:07.championship football. Here is everybody's group. Of all
:50:08. > :50:14.the British sides... The English team should get through. -- the
:50:15. > :50:20.English teams. They should all get through. Why do we always fall
:50:21. > :50:29.short? The real top teams across Europe, they keep the ball. We, the
:50:30. > :50:33.royal we, the English teams go into the Champions League trying to play
:50:34. > :50:40.like they are in the Premier league. That is why we have come nowhere for
:50:41. > :50:43.ages. Do either of you get up for -- did either of you get up at 4:15am
:50:44. > :51:29.for the draw in the Carabao Cup? An in-depth look at the transfer
:51:30. > :51:33.deadline day on The Premier League Show on Thursday. And we will round
:51:34. > :51:38.up all the last-minute deals late in the evening.
:51:39. > :51:41.Mick McCarthy has had a couple of reasons to celebrate this week
:51:42. > :51:43.with Ipswich enjoying their best league start since 1974,
:51:44. > :51:45.and the man himself marking 40 years in professional football.
:51:46. > :51:50.So what better time for a bit of reminiscing with Clem?
:51:51. > :52:02.Introducing Mick McCarthy. That is not doing me any favours, that one,
:52:03. > :52:12.is it? How do you look back on that fella there? I'm not sure I can
:52:13. > :52:16.remember him! Can you? He didn't have any trouble fastening his
:52:17. > :52:22.laces, or getting out of bed, and he didn't have to put his glasses on.
:52:23. > :52:31.He was a young, fit, fighting fit individual. I've got a few more for
:52:32. > :52:36.you, actually. You've inspired a whole movement in east London with
:52:37. > :52:44.that beard. That is a proper Shoreditch beard. I was way in
:52:45. > :52:50.fashion. You played for your local club. How much does that shape you,
:52:51. > :52:55.to come from that background? It has all been based on hard work. My dad
:52:56. > :53:02.was a grafter. They came from Ireland, went down the mines. He
:53:03. > :53:09.worked for an engineering firm. He worked 12 hours a day. And that was
:53:10. > :53:16.just driven into us, really. It doesn't end there, Mick. Let's have
:53:17. > :53:23.a look at this. Here we go. COMMENTATOR: And for that challenge
:53:24. > :53:27.on him, Mick McCarthy will be the third naming Mr Taylor's book. You
:53:28. > :53:34.took no prisoners, did you? People say to me now, people I played
:53:35. > :53:41.against, you kicked me. And I say, if you're looking for an apology,
:53:42. > :53:49.it's not coming. Is the excitement for you on Saturday after 25 years
:53:50. > :53:53.still the same as that 17-year-old? It will never be the same as
:53:54. > :53:56.playing, no chance. I still love it and get a buzz out of it, and I
:53:57. > :54:05.still hate being beaten and enjoy being winning as much, but it will
:54:06. > :54:09.never replace playing. I have to say, quite uncannily, if we look
:54:10. > :54:15.back at the Barnsley line-up we got here. Number six, Michael McCarthy.
:54:16. > :54:20.Number seven, Neil Warnock. And there the pair of you are, top two
:54:21. > :54:32.in the championship as we go into this weekend. Neil Warnock texted
:54:33. > :54:35.me, sent me the quote, and ice it -- and he said, you speak for yourself!
:54:36. > :54:43.There was a perception amongst the boys that maybe we would not have
:54:44. > :54:50.the ambition drive for it, or it has moved on and we have not moved on
:54:51. > :54:53.with it, but by Henk -- but I think we are showing that is not the case.
:54:54. > :55:08.What might you are brimming with enthusiasm. The Passion is there. --
:55:09. > :55:15.you are brimming with enthusiasm. I gave it a whole lot of thought,
:55:16. > :55:20.coming back and how we would do it. The first day of pre-season, I was
:55:21. > :55:26.buzzing, full of fire and brimstone, as usual. How do you play it with
:55:27. > :55:34.your squad from here, having made that stuck? We have only achieved it
:55:35. > :55:42.through the principles - working hard, being a team, playing
:55:43. > :55:45.aggressively. I'm not talking about kicking somebody, I'm talking about
:55:46. > :55:51.running and passing aggressively, speaking aggressively, wanting to
:55:52. > :55:59.win. When you have had four or five wins on the bounce, it does breed
:56:00. > :56:07.that. We could have lost every game we've played, but we are giving all
:56:08. > :56:13.right at the minute. You could listen to him from ages -- for ages.
:56:14. > :56:18.In all the time that Ipswich have been around, they have only had 15
:56:19. > :56:31.permanent managers. They stick by their men. In history? Yes.
:56:32. > :56:36.Unbelievable. He is one of the great managers on a relatively small
:56:37. > :56:40.budget. Doing a fantastic job. If they win all five of their first
:56:41. > :56:48.five games, it will be there best ever start to a season, Ipswich.
:56:49. > :56:51.Aston Villa, briefly before we finish, because you spoke to deep
:56:52. > :56:58.bruise and he said they had to be promoted. They have got to get
:56:59. > :57:14.promotion. The club needed, the fans need it, we need it. -- you spoke to
:57:15. > :57:18.Steve Bruce. 41 games to go, then... 1-1 at Ashton Gate last night. Spurs
:57:19. > :57:21.will play at Wembley in the semifinal. Manchester City have
:57:22. > :57:24.equalised against Bournemouth. Don't forget our transfer deadline
:57:25. > :57:29.day special on Thursday night, and we'll also be back
:57:30. > :57:31.at midday next Saturday. We'll leave you with
:57:32. > :57:33.Hollywood A-lister Channing Tatum who stars in new heist movie,
:57:34. > :57:35.'Logan Lucky'. So can he make off with
:57:36. > :57:37.the predictions spoils, or will Lawro avoid
:57:38. > :57:59.a panning from Channing? I ain't seen you in a while. How
:58:00. > :58:08.goes it? Is I'm sitting on this side of the table wearing a onesie - how
:58:09. > :58:14.do you think it's going? You look good. Real good. Fit. I was a slam
:58:15. > :58:27.into each other type of person. I would like to think I was a Vinnie
:58:28. > :58:36.Jones- type player. Jamie Bell is a good friend. By default, I went to
:58:37. > :58:56.get educated by the Premier league by him. I will give it to the
:58:57. > :59:06.Seagulls. 2-1 to them. 2-1 to Chelsea. 1-0
:59:07. > :59:08.The whole game in full here on 5 live.
:59:09. > :59:13.It's been a knockout day in the Premier League.
