A huge thank you to Eilidh Barbour for seat-sitting while I was off | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
It's 107 hours before the transfer window closes. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
These two are going nowhere - at least for the next half an hour. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Hull City's Jake Livermore tells Jermaine about his darkest days. | :00:54. | :01:08. | |
The mental state I was in needed addressing. It's something a lot | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
deeper than that that I needed to get off my chest. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
The prodigal son - Downing on going back to the Boro. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Lot of people frowned on it, saying I was at a decent Premier League | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
club in West Ham. It was a risk but I'm back with my home-town club in | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
the Premier League so it worked out well. | :01:32. | :01:32. | |
And "Trott"-enham Hotspur - is Spurs fan Laura on track | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
We'll also hear from Everton's Kevin Mirallas. | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
But this is how the Premier League weekend looks... | :01:38. | :01:59. | |
Hull have started the season with two wins from two, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
and for Jake Livermore, it's now 15 months since | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
The midfielder has been telling former Spurs | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
teammate Jermaine Jenas the full story. | :02:09. | :02:24. | |
FA Cup, it's what kids dream of. Playing, be involved in those sorts | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
of games. It's always disappointing to lose a final and what have you, | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
but there has to be some consolation to be expecting my first son. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Explain to us your feelings after that FA Cup final. One way of | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
putting it is, it should have been the best weekend of my life, really. | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
Regardless of the result. We all went back to a do at the Hotel. And | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
from there I went straight to the hospital where my partner was in | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
labour. It spiralled out of control. It's a situation you never wish upon | :03:05. | :03:22. | |
anyone. To lose your child, lose your son, in a scenario which should | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
be all under control, and was under control at one point, it makes it | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
that much harder to deal with. But it should have been such a glorious, | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
happy time for everyone. Everyone was excited. My team-mates, family. | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
To go to that, it was tragic. What were those days like immediately | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
following that moment? What I found difficult was, I think, the timing, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
because it was the end of the season. With your day to day life at | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
training, seeing the boys, people can pick up on your behaviour. They | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
pick up... They know what's happened. But it was the end of the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
season and everyone I would normally turn to, like my parents, Park, | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
grandparents, whoever it might be. Everyone around was affected, in the | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
family. It was time for me to step up and be that rock of everyone | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
else. Hull City suspended Jake Livermore. The player tested | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
positive for cocaine. At this point he must be feeling pretty tracked | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
with regards where you can turn to for help. -- pretty tracked. Would | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
you say the drugs were you owe me escape at the time? -- pretty | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
trapped. Yes. First and foremost, and you have known me longer than | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
most. It's so far from me as a person, and my traits. -- and my | :05:08. | :05:20. | |
family traits. The drugs were a problem. And God works in mysterious | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
ways. I think that was my get out of jail free card. This kid needs help. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
At that point nobody knew. That must have been so frustrating for you at | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
that particular point. Coming back now, I almost felt so relieved. I | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
remember putting my hands behind my head and laying back in the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
manager's office. I remember him looking at me as if to think, are | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
you serious? It could be two years, four years. At that point it was, I | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
don't care! At least people know. The mental state I was in needed | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
addressing. Like I say, the drugs were irrelevant, drink was | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
irrelevant, performances were irrelevant. It was something a lot | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
deeper than that that I needed to get off my chest. You say I was too | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
strong to talk about it or not strong enough to talk about it, but | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
either way, it didn't come out. How did you feel after the announcement | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
that it would be put to the side and you could almost get back to doing | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
what you love? I think once it all came to light, and word started | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
getting around, the reasons behind why you'd do such a foolish and | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
desperate thing, and I prefer to say desperate, then I started to get | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
support from those close to me. It's only once the scenario has happened | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
is that you realise who is there, and who it would benefit to speak | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
to. The FA and the PSA, once it all came to light, have been nothing but | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
supportive. And that's something that I would urge, any trouble that | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
young players have, go and use those people, talk to those people. That's | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
something that over the next few months I will continue to do. You | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
have had another baby now. How are you dealing with fatherhood? Late | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
nights? Yeah! A few late nights. He's not the best sleeper in the | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
world. It's fantastic, you know? It's what it's all about. I've been | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
generally just a happier person within myself. I think that's shown | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
on the field as well. Going from not being able to play with a smile on | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
my face for a little while, and now it's finally coming out. Thanks for | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
talking to us. Thank you. Really good to listen to that. And some | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
rare honesty from a top football as well. Sometimes we all bank | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
governing bodies over the head, but they clearly made a wise decision | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
there, taking account of what he has been through and he's really turning | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
things around now. He is, that's a really strong, honest interview. The | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
side of footballer you rarely get to see. He regrets everything he has | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
done, he let people down, but when that happens then you realise who is | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
there for you as an individual, and who can get you out of the situation | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
you are in. He mentions the FA and PFA, and they will always be there | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
to help us out. They have always been there for me and Jake obviously | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
needed them. The club were there as well. The club helped him after they | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
knew about it. Steve Bruce almost felt a bit embarrassed, he said, | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
that he didn't know enough about Jake Livermore to know what he was | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
going through, and that was a regret from his time there. Can the | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
dressing room be a sharing environment on occasions? We know it | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
can be brutal but can you find people to talk to? I think once it's | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
out there players are very responsive. But the problem is in | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
getting it out in the first place. It shows people that he might have a | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
sign of weakness or vulnerability. As a footballer you are trained not | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
to show that, because you are playing for your position. You don't | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
want to show that emotional side for your image. You can only imagine | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
what he's going through. It must've been horrendous for him. But like | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Dion said, the support has been hugely beneficial for him. He and | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
Hull been playing well this season. Playing against Manchester United. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
He's almost playing a centre-half roll now. Can they win a third on | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
the trot? They can. Probably going to the hardest place, playing | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
against the team I think we'll be going for the championship this | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
year. But the way Hull have set up, very difficult to score goals | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
against. Mike Phelan has done a great job. They will work very hard | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
and be in Man United's faces all through this game. The only way they | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
can win this game is through sheer concentration. If they switch off, | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
they will get beaten, hands down. Maybe a small squad is the future. | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
13 is enough! Now, if you were watching our | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
new Premier League Show on Thursday night, then you'd have seen | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Gary Lineker's interview with Liverpool boss Jurgen | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
Klopp. It included a little geography | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
lesson. You have a map here. That's my specific German... That's not | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
Germany. It's an England match for German managers because I have no | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
idea. I know nearly all the clubs but don't know where they are. So if | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
you tell me where Norwich is there, I would have believed. Now I know. | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
You know where Leicester is? Yes. I knew some people who lived there | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
before they became champions. Nottingham, I know because of Robin | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Hood. There are a few tricky ones. Tottenham Hotspur. You might | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
struggle to find that one. Well, the map clearly worked | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
as Klopp and Liverpool have found their way to White Hart | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Lane this lunchtime, They got here all right but there | :11:34. | :11:43. | |
might be trouble ahead on the road for Jurgen Klopp who seems to be in | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
fighting something of a battle of wills with the England striker | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Daniel Sturridge, who said this week he wasn't happy playing wide. Today | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
at White Hart Lane, he's not playing at all, on the substitutes' bench. | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
The return of Sadio Mane means Sturridge misses out, Firmino and | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
Coutinho making up the front three. James Milner continues at left-back, | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
preferred again to Alberto Moreno. A different story for Harry Kane. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Vincent Janssen drops to the bench for Tottenham with Dele Alli coming | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
in. That allows the Spurs England man Harry Kane to play at the number | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
nine position, the focal point of the attack. You can listen to that | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
on five live later. Interesting news about Sturridge. Both teams like a | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
high pressing, intense game. Liverpool have scored lots of goals | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
will stop the game against Arsenal was incredibly entertaining, great | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
performance. Today I like Spurs, I like the way they play and they are | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
equally comfortable pressing teams as well as keeping the ball and | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
being patient with a slow build-up. I think they have more variety to | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
their game than Liverpool. All round I think the Spurs quality is also | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
slightly better than Liverpool. I want to see Daniel Sturridge on the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
pitch. That's what I want. I think it's an absolute waste not having | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
him up front being the number nine and scoring goals for Liverpool. On | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
the other hand, he is fit and moaning about playing. You are | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
saying he shouldn't be doing that? You can't moan about it. If you're | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
getting picked, playing for Liverpool, you can't moan. That's my | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
mentality. If you are not fit, you want to play. And when you play, you | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
moan. That doesn't work! Daniel Sturridge has to say to himself, I | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
need to play games, doesn't matter where it is. If he plays, he will | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
score goals, Liverpool will be a better side and he will and go on to | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
score 20 of drive goals. He is easily one of best. Liverpool are | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
not in Europe this season but Tottenham are. | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
Tottenham were in Thursday's Champions League draw. | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
They're in Group E and will play their home games at Wembley. | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Arsenal start their Group A campaign with a visit to PSG. | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
Leicester make their Champions League debut in Group G | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
which features Porto, Club Brugge and FC Copenhagen. | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
A battle of Britain looms for Celtic and Manchester City, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
and Barcelona's presence means a return to the Nou Camp | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Let's talk about that group. I feel sorry for Celtic! Manchester City | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
permanently get a tough Champions League draw. It will be a | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
fascinating watch. It will be great, some really good matches. Sometimes | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
Celtic surprise people, coming up with the performance, and they have | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
done it against Barcelona before. It's a great group. City against | :14:39. | :14:48. | |
Barcelona is the big one. We understand it will be City and | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
Barcelona, and Celtic as well. But Parkhead, I've played there and it | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
can be quite intimidating, I will put it that way! Claudio Bravo | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
against his old team as well. From a Leicester perspective, you were | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
there last season. How will they look at that because their top | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
seeding has given them a decent group in the Champions League. I | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
think it's an incredible group for them. I think there will be a sense | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
of a bit of disappointment that they didn't get one of the big names. But | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
on the other hand that will have subsided quickly. They will have | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
analysed the group and think, Porto are a very good team, winning the | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Champions League not long ago, but the rest of them, Leicester have a | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
good opportunity of getting through the group. Arsenal fans have been | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
complaining for a long time that their team have not been signing | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
players and they've now spent ?90 million! It's two players by | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
Wednesday. They will be smiling, looking forward to better days. | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
The Champions League starts next month but before that... | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
Gary's full interview with Jurgen Klopp is available | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
to watch on iPlayer as part of The Premier League Show - | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
we'll be on there too from midnight tonight. | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
Jacqui Oatley will have news of Spurs v Liverpool | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
Garth Crooks and Kevin Kilbane are in the studio. | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
And Mr Lineker has highlights of all eight Premier League games | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
in the company of Alan Shearer and Ruud Gullit. | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
One of those eight matches sees Everton take | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
It's been a summer of change on the blue half of Merseyside. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
Amongst those sensing a bright future is their Belgian | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
That is a brilliant goal. Everton have won a trophy for the past 25 | :16:24. | :16:48. | |
years and to win a trophy you need the best players. With the new | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
manager, new chairman, when you sign new players and have a lot of good | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
players, you need to play well and score. Nice work from Everton! After | :16:58. | :17:16. | |
my goal the team played well. I like to play fast. Running a lot, keeping | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
possession. With David Moyes it is a bit different, he knew it was | :17:20. | :17:39. | |
difficult for me. But he knew me and believed in me. And by a manager | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
says that you have confidence. Lukaku shows great strength and goes | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
on. Lukaku! Brilliant goal. Every year you want to score more goals. | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
Last season I scored 25 goals. All players are hoping he will score | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
more this season. Everton want to win trophies. And if you want to win | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
trophies it is important for that. I signed up for the trophy and I hope | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
this will be the best season for Everton. The fans need that. The | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
club needs that. A number of new faces | :18:21. | :18:32. | |
at Everton this summer, There is with excitement now. That | :18:33. | :18:49. | |
has coincided with the new ownership at Everton as well, they're looking | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
to build something special. Ronald Koeman has said it is a two-year | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
process to turn the squad around, into the team that he feels is his | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
own. There is already a response from the players, Leighton Baines | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
saying it is a healthy respect for the manager. He is organised. And | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
they're fitter than last season even though they're only supposedly 70% | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
fit right now. A slight little dig at last season but it seems to be a | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
happy camper. What about Lukaku, he will be there for at least another | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
season? I'm pleased for him, a very good centre forward. He's one of | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
those players, he can be unplayable when he is on song. He has got to be | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
mentally stronger and hold the ball better. If that happens he will get | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
a big move, Lukaku, if he can score some goals. It is all about mental | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
strength. So things are looking up for Everton. | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
enjoyed that winning feeling last Saturday, | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
as the Premier League brought us drama from start to finish. | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
Sean Dyche and his team celebrate their first victory back at the | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
highest level. One of the most expressive and emotional managers on | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
the touchline. Watford lead! Antonio Conte and his men are back level. | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
So Chelsea leaving it late, but the ever punctual Guy Mowbray | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
has arrived at Stamford Bridge nice and early. | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
Perhaps not been as eye-catching as the Manchester clubs, | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
but Conte's Chelsea are getting the job done? | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
Yes, and thank you for bringing the Brazilian sunshine back with you! | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
Late winners in both games scored by Diego Costa, and some would have | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
argued he should not have been on the pitch. It will not ultimately | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
come down to luck with Antonio Conte in charge, he's all about hard work | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
and cold hard tactics. He has used all three substitutions in both | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
games to win games, to change games. Chelsea can only improve from this | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
point. No European football might be hard to stomach but for Liverpool | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
three years ago it won the title for them. Chelsea had an impressive win | :21:36. | :21:44. | |
last week. But slightly tainted by comments from Andre Gray which have | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
resurfaced for years after he put them on social media. That has | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
attracted death -- attention through the week. Yes, it is a shame for | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Burnley, a personal shame also for the player, he now has until | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
Wednesday to respond to the charge. Burnley have been quick to back him, | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
saying he has grown up a lot in the four years that have passed. That is | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
a long time and they say they can only comment on the excellent | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
attitude he has shown in his time with the club. It is then up to the | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
FA to act in next midweek and whoever -- whatever way they act, it | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
will upset someone. If there is any positive, it is to remind not just | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
footballers but all of us that whatever you put out their stays out | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
there and could come back to bite you. So try to play nice. Enjoy the | :22:34. | :22:44. | |
game today. And that game is at three o'clock today. | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
Chelsea v Burnley is at 3pm, whilst tomorrow | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
Match of the Day 2 Extra returns from 12.15 on BBC2 and 5Live. | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Chappers will be back with Match of the Day 2 | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
And I'll be along with a Focus transfer deadline special | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Middlesbrough face West Brom on Sunday and no doubt they'll | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
still be on a high after last week's win at Sunderland. | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
A particularly sweet one for the local lad, Stewart Downing. | :23:08. | :23:17. | |
It is a good one, it is a very good one! | :23:18. | :23:30. | |
Middlesbrough win... Having been with the club when they were | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
relegated seven years ago, how much personal satisfaction have you got | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
from being back in the Premier League? A lot of satisfaction, | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
getting back in the Premier League is a big thing. Leaving it under | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
relegation in 2009 was not a great way to go out. So I'm pleased for | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
everyone and personally for me. Did it feel like a risk at the time to | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
drop down a division? It did, a lot of people frowned upon it, leaving a | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
decent Premier League club in West town. It was a risk. But I was | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
willing to take it. I'm back in my hometown and in the Premier League. | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
Looking back on last season, there were two offence, the closure of the | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
Redcar steel plant and the death of the legendary commentator Ali | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
Brownlie. How much did they reignite and bond the players with the | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
supporters? Ali Brownlie was a bubbly character, great to have | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
around. The man was an enormous local legend. More popular than | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
probably the players in the area, he was so well thought. It sad news. | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
And with the steelworks, it was a massive thing, I know a lot of | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
friends and family who lost their jobs. It all came together and we | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
kicked on. Things like that can spur you on. There was a moment in March | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
when everyone wondered what was going on, the manager on gardening | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
leave for a game. Is that now completely put to bed? Completely | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
gone. We were unbeaten in ten, 11 games. It was a good decision in the | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
end, we kept the manager, he has built the squad again this summer | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
with new signings. And things have worked out well in the end. Have the | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
quality of those signings and the names that have come in, as it | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
surprised you that the club has gone again question mark it did not | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
surprise me in terms of the calibre of players. It is the first year | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
back in the Premier League, so maybe a little bit. We had some big | :25:51. | :26:05. | |
signings. Victor, his CV speaks for himself. He can persuade people to | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
come to this clap. I have played with a lot of big-name players some | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
years ago. It makes me feel a bit old! You're the elder statesman now! | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
I'm just 32. I might be old in football terms! He has got the best | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
handshake in the business! Another one of your old teams. Stewart took | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
the decision to drop down and it seems to be paying off. There is a | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
lot of excitement around. Seven years since they were last in the | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
Premier League, the club has an enormous amount of potential. Over | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
ten years in the Premier League when I was there. And ashamed that they | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
went down. But I think it was a gutsy move to move back. Stewart is | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
Middlesbrough through and through, he was always going to go back to | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
Middlesbrough. The chance to go back to his home team and the opportunity | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
to help them get promoted again was too big to turn down. And West Brom, | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Tony Pumas has spoken of the frustrations of the manager over the | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
summer. A bit of pressure now with the transfer deadline day looming. | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
Tony will have looked, search, as the questions is it possible. He has | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
had no luck and it is going to be difficult. Thank you very much. | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
The Challenge Cup final is on BBC1 from 2pm. | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
If you've missed anything then Focus is on the iPlayer from midnight, | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
and we're back at the same time next week. | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
Now the Rio games brought us many great moments, | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
but perhaps few more memorable than when Laura Trott | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
became Britain's most decorated female Olympian. | :27:47. | :27:47. | |
And it turns out cycling's golden girl knows a thing or two | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
It is a special Olympic moment for Great Britain. Laura Trott is the | :27:51. | :28:09. | |
most successful female Olympian of all Time for Bert Britain. It was | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
incredible to go and be the first female to win four gold medals for | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
Great Britain. It all came together, it was the perfect Olympics. My mum | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
and dad support Spurs and my sisters support Arsenal. You know what it is | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
like with siblings, I chose the team that my sister did not support. I | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
chose Spurs. Teddy Sheringham used to play for them and I liked the | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
name Teddy, it was a match made in heaven! | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
Arsenal are going to lose I would say. 1- nil. | :28:46. | :28:57. | |
Tottenham Liverpool, that is a tough game. I'm going to stick with | :28:58. | :28:59. | |
Tottenham but not running away with it. 2-1. | :29:00. | :29:03. |
