:00:16. > :00:24.That's absolutely brilliant. Oh, this is getting better and better.

:00:25. > :00:31.Chance for Ronaldo! History boys indeed. They have won the cup, they

:00:32. > :00:44.have won the cup... And it is a hat-trick. He has done it. He has

:00:45. > :00:49.done it! Welcome to the last Football Focus of 2016. It has been

:00:50. > :00:56.a turbulent year but we have seen some spectacular action along the

:00:57. > :01:02.way and we are not done yes. Middlesbrough's latest Brazilian on

:01:03. > :01:05.a family Christmas. A thousand things on my head, like how will be

:01:06. > :01:13.the reaction. I think it will be nice. Liverpool against Manchester

:01:14. > :01:20.City in the top four. We have King Kenny on Klopp. He is back in the

:01:21. > :01:29.goals, we see Alli on thousand hand shake. -- how to hand shake. We are

:01:30. > :01:33.on the frosty training pitches of Yorkshire as Barnsley continue to

:01:34. > :01:37.defy the odds in the Championship. We will enjoy it while we are

:01:38. > :01:41.winning and not panic when we are losing. And all the goals and

:01:42. > :01:45.sackings that make the festive season so special. And who better to

:01:46. > :01:51.see the year out than with these two. For some reason wearing ties.

:01:52. > :02:02.Trevor and Mark. Didn't get the memo. Thank you. If you're losing

:02:03. > :02:08.track of days, we all are. The latest round of fixtures were last

:02:09. > :02:11.night with Hull against Everton and there are seven matches today. We

:02:12. > :02:16.are live at Burnley who play Sunderland. And Leicester try to end

:02:17. > :02:21.their slide. At the top, Chelsea are threatening to run away with it. And

:02:22. > :02:25.second against third in the later game as Liverpool welcome Manchester

:02:26. > :02:30.City to Anfield. We will start at Old Trafford and familiar

:02:31. > :02:36.surroundings for old boy Fabio, now of Middlesbrough. His twin Rafael

:02:37. > :02:42.has been keeping him company over Christmas and they have been

:02:43. > :02:50.speaking us to. Christmas means everything. It means family. Wins we

:02:51. > :03:02.are kids we have been with all the family together. I get him just a

:03:03. > :03:10.hat... Maybe... Put a hat on. I buy him a jumper. That is all. You have

:03:11. > :03:16.come from Lyon to spend time in Middlesbrough. What was your first

:03:17. > :03:20.Teesside Christmas like. People say, why don't you go to Brazil, you have

:03:21. > :03:26.eleven days, I'm happy being here with my brother. It is a bit cold,

:03:27. > :03:31.but I enjoy home at home and I play some cards with my brother. I get to

:03:32. > :03:38.know a bit of the city as well. It was good. I bring him training as

:03:39. > :03:50.well, make some jokes with the boys. He trained as well. Nobody knows.

:03:51. > :04:03.Goal! How much did you know about the Brazilian players who have come

:04:04. > :04:12.before you? I know Juninho. Emerson as well. I watched another one, I

:04:13. > :04:19.watched him when I was young. When I arrived people always speak about

:04:20. > :04:27.the Brazilians. A plane is reported to have crashed in Columbia. Players

:04:28. > :04:33.from a Brazilian team were among the people on board. How hard has it

:04:34. > :04:40.been, I know you had two friends on board the plane, one sadly died and

:04:41. > :04:46.one survived. Now, I imagine it is still on both of your minds. I'm

:04:47. > :04:52.happy to see the people who help Chapecoense. The club show how

:04:53. > :04:57.humans should be like this when even helps each other. You see people

:04:58. > :05:03.from Europe, from Asia, from every where in the world together to try

:05:04. > :05:12.to help Chapecoense. You can see the connection in every one can help

:05:13. > :05:18.each other. I remember everything. Me and my brother, even when we

:05:19. > :05:25.arrived when we were kids. It will be hurtful to play there again. Two

:05:26. > :05:28.Brazilian teenagers arriving in Manchester, quite intimidating

:05:29. > :05:33.arriving at a club like that? At the start it was. It was the hardest

:05:34. > :05:38.league in the world. It was even worse we have the help of Manchester

:05:39. > :05:45.United and we have been there before and we stay a bit, a little while,

:05:46. > :05:49.to get used to to everything. I think it worked. I think the players

:05:50. > :05:53.helped, because we are 17 and we just arrive and United just come to

:05:54. > :05:58.the final Champions League and win the Champions League against

:05:59. > :06:05.Chelsea. So big names like Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, everyone, it is a bit

:06:06. > :06:09.intimidating a boy 17 years old. How did a role did Sir Alex Ferguson

:06:10. > :06:16.play in the settling in period. He helped us a lot. He helped my family

:06:17. > :06:22.when I arrived. His wife sent flowers to my mum. I don't forget

:06:23. > :06:25.that. He is a gentleman. There is no words to speak about him. You

:06:26. > :06:31.haven't played there since you left the club, will it be strange do you

:06:32. > :06:38.think? It is hard. I try to stop like and I go... Think about my head

:06:39. > :06:43.what's going to be. A thousand things in my head, how they are

:06:44. > :06:48.going to react and how I will react. I think it will be nice. It is

:06:49. > :06:54.incredible, because I can watch the game, the first game I will be there

:06:55. > :06:58.to watch. You have to decide who you will support? Well, I love

:06:59. > :07:04.Manchester United and all the support... But... I will support my

:07:05. > :07:09.brother and I want him to win. I think I will be supporting

:07:10. > :07:14.Middlesbrough! It is the right answer to keep the family going.

:07:15. > :07:17.Fabio is only 26 and he is part of a Middlesbrough back line, the way

:07:18. > :07:23.they play, they have got a good defence. Yes, of the teams the I

:07:24. > :07:27.have seen, they're the most disciplined. Special think middle

:07:28. > :07:36.three. They -- especially the middle three. They sit in position and that

:07:37. > :07:42.is why they're difficult to play. They leave Negredo up front. But you

:07:43. > :07:49.could close your eyes and watch them and those seven are all in position.

:07:50. > :07:53.That is saying something with West Brom and Burnley. He knows

:07:54. > :07:59.Manchester United well and Manchester United fans have a new

:08:00. > :08:04.hero who will try to break down that defence, Mkhitaryan, I know it was

:08:05. > :08:09.offside, but he has flourished since being left out at the start of

:08:10. > :08:13.season. I would like to have seen him flourish at the start of the

:08:14. > :08:18.season. What an amazing player. So much creativity. So much imagination

:08:19. > :08:25.to even think of that. But to have the skills to execute it as well. It

:08:26. > :08:29.was offside, but what a finish. I think him in the team, they're going

:08:30. > :08:35.to be on fire. He has set off a reaction and they have got a

:08:36. > :08:40.position for Pogba, Carrick's in this and Zlatan up front and martial

:08:41. > :08:45.and they look a different side. In the last two months, you know

:08:46. > :08:49.statistics big up a big part of football, look what he has done

:08:50. > :08:53.since the start of November, Ibrahimovic. Eight goals. He is

:08:54. > :08:59.adding a lot to that Manchester United front line. He is. I think he

:09:00. > :09:03.spearheaded it and has been an inspiration. The way he plays, he

:09:04. > :09:10.always had so much confidence, now the rest of the team seem like they

:09:11. > :09:12.have confidence. Mourinho seems to have got the right starting eleven

:09:13. > :09:17.and formation and they seem like they have a good future. What I like

:09:18. > :09:20.about Ibrahimovic, when he plays with the younger players and they

:09:21. > :09:30.try and find him with a pass and it doesn't happen, he never says a word

:09:31. > :09:35.or goe unlucky. You touched on Michael Carrick, you have been a fan

:09:36. > :09:42.of his work and it is like professionals like Carrick. What

:09:43. > :09:48.does he bring to this side? He brings security. If Pogba can go and

:09:49. > :09:53.start to flourish, but I think Carrick has been a big reason for

:09:54. > :09:58.that, because he sits back, just guards that back four and says,

:09:59. > :10:03.enjoy yourself Paul. And he knows Carrick will probably not tackle,

:10:04. > :10:08.but he will intercept a pass to stop it going forward and he has that

:10:09. > :10:14.ability to slide passes that most people don't see. He passes the ball

:10:15. > :10:20.to you where you want it, not where he wants to. He must say, listen, be

:10:21. > :10:23.aware of him not looking at you, because the ball could land at your

:10:24. > :10:28.feet. He is that good he can pick that pass and if you're thinking he

:10:29. > :10:34.is playing there, you will get an unpleasant surprise. They will need

:10:35. > :10:41.that. Middlesbrough will be difficult to break down. You have to

:10:42. > :10:43.pull them down. This Manchester United team are divorced and

:10:44. > :10:50.different from the team that started the season. Fabio talked of the

:10:51. > :10:56.influence of Sir Alex Ferguson it is his 76th birthday. For Fabio? He is

:10:57. > :11:02.doing well. Now some of the Premier League action starting with last

:11:03. > :11:06.night's match with Hull were desperate to win against Everton.

:11:07. > :11:21.Martin Fisher reports. It will drop and be scored by

:11:22. > :11:27.Dawson. What a season he is having in front of the goal. That is his

:11:28. > :11:34.fourth of the season. Three of which have come in the Premier League.

:11:35. > :11:41.Barry is free to left. They're queueing up. Coalman with the header

:11:42. > :11:49.against the post. Thumped away by Maguire. Maybe some luck turning

:11:50. > :11:57.Hull's way. Everton have an equaliser. Lukaku leads the Everton

:11:58. > :11:59.celebrations. How much fault at the door of David Marshall for this goal

:12:00. > :12:16.I wonder? Good challenge by Bardsley. Mir

:12:17. > :12:24.Mirallas can bring it clear. Deflected and Marshall helped it on

:12:25. > :12:30.to the bar. Marshall got his angles right. Snodgrass might have a crack

:12:31. > :12:37.from here. It will be the Scot and it is against the frame of the bar

:12:38. > :12:45.and then hooked wide by Diomande. We are talking inches. Good

:12:46. > :12:50.anticipation by Maguire. And on he goes. A push in the back maybe by

:12:51. > :13:02.Baines. Snodgrass for Hull. And this time he

:13:03. > :13:09.finds the net! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! And Robert

:13:10. > :13:24.Snodgrass comes up with the goods for Hull. Fabulous technique.

:13:25. > :13:37.Lukaku couldn't get to it, Bardsley does and Everton are level. Bardsley

:13:38. > :13:41.unmarked at the far side. Final score 2-2. That result leaves the

:13:42. > :13:54.table looking like this. Hull move off the bottom, at least

:13:55. > :13:59.until Swansea play Bournemouth later. The Ross Barkley debate, he

:14:00. > :14:04.has been criticised by the manager and some fans, he is not a young man

:14:05. > :14:09.now, he is 23. What does he need to move from where he is to becoming a

:14:10. > :14:15.recognised great player? Consistency. That is what it is

:14:16. > :14:21.about. Everyone knows his potential. We have been hearing about that for

:14:22. > :14:25.years. In the position he plays for Everton, he should dominate more

:14:26. > :14:32.games and at the moment not quite done it. But he has the right

:14:33. > :14:37.manager. At first he was, it is he is going to Manchester City for 50

:14:38. > :14:48.million. It is rubbish and for everyone that age it is not easy for

:14:49. > :14:53.it not to turn your headches. Snodgrass has been brilliant for

:14:54. > :14:59.Hull and they added another year to the contract of six players.

:15:00. > :15:03.Including him. That was his sighter. He has real quality. You have seen

:15:04. > :15:09.the first hit the bar and it was stunning. That was so close. The

:15:10. > :15:13.second he has put it inside. Beautiful technique. Not many

:15:14. > :15:17.players can do this. If you're a forward, forget about going for

:15:18. > :15:20.goal, corners and free kicks, if you know that quality is coming in, you

:15:21. > :15:24.must be excited thinking we have a free kick. Let's go and you are

:15:25. > :15:29.going expecting the ball to go in the right area.

:15:30. > :15:36.If they are going to stay up they've got to hang onto him. I think you'll

:15:37. > :15:41.find they need to start winning if they want to stay up. All right,

:15:42. > :15:43.there we go. In amongst the festive fun it's been a miserable Christmas

:15:44. > :15:50.for the men in charge at Crystal Palace and Swansea.

:15:51. > :15:57.No team in the entire football league has had a worse record in

:15:58. > :16:02.2016 than Crystal Palace. Dave won just six matches this calendar year.

:16:03. > :16:08.Crystal Palace have sacked manager Alan Pardew. Sam Allardyce has

:16:09. > :16:14.agreed a two and a half year contract to try to get Crystal

:16:15. > :16:19.Palace out of this mess. I hope I can bring some joy, particularly

:16:20. > :16:24.over Christmas and New Year. It is a point for Sam Allardyce in his first

:16:25. > :16:29.game as Crystal Palace manager. Did you enjoy the cut and thrust of a

:16:30. > :16:34.match situation again? I've never enjoyed a game in my life as a

:16:35. > :16:39.manager so I am not going to start now. Bob Bradley says his future

:16:40. > :16:43.could depend on what happens today. We are our own worst enemy. No

:16:44. > :16:50.matter how we start again we seem to find a way to get down. More misery

:16:51. > :16:59.for Bob Bradley. We are in such a rut. In the Premier League you pay

:17:00. > :17:02.the price. Huge boos ringing out. Swansea City have sacked Bob

:17:03. > :17:07.Bradley. It was a big punt, it was always going to be a big ask to keep

:17:08. > :17:13.Swansea up. STUDIO: 85 days in charge, no transfer window, if there

:17:14. > :17:17.was a button with the word panic on it, Swansea have pressed it. It

:17:18. > :17:23.doesn't seem to pan out. I don't know what the club and owners are

:17:24. > :17:27.doing. To get rid of Guidolin and bring in somebody with no experience

:17:28. > :17:30.of the Premier League with no transfer window, I cannot understand

:17:31. > :17:35.it. This probably goes back 18 months. This club, when they got in

:17:36. > :17:41.the Premier League, they were so well run, well organised. Will use

:17:42. > :17:45.to talk about it. Absolutely. The standard for many clubs promoted,

:17:46. > :17:51.buying clubs they could make better, so on and replace. What they've done

:17:52. > :17:54.in the last 18 months I don't know. At once they sold Ashley Williams at

:17:55. > :18:00.the start the season, and we get his age and we that Everton paid good

:18:01. > :18:02.money, but he was the dressing room, the leader and organiser and

:18:03. > :18:10.absolutely everything. Since that day it has all come tumbling down.

:18:11. > :18:13.And Ayew got the opening goal. The things that annoys fans, things like

:18:14. > :18:17.the story about Joe Allen they could have signed him, apparently he was

:18:18. > :18:26.looking at houses in Swansea, then he goes to Stoke. Going back to

:18:27. > :18:29.Ayew, that was always going to happen, Centre forward going back to

:18:30. > :18:33.his old club, always going to score. For Joe Allen to be scratching

:18:34. > :18:37.around thinking, is it going to happen, and waiting and waiting and

:18:38. > :18:40.taking Stoke on the back burner because he had to. Listen, he's a

:18:41. > :18:44.Swansea lad, he loves Wales, and sure he would have loved to have

:18:45. > :18:48.gone back there. For them not to get their ducks in order is a joke. What

:18:49. > :18:53.we don't know, Stoke might have given him more money. But just

:18:54. > :18:57.looking at the managers, I would take Gary row it in a heartbeat

:18:58. > :19:01.straightaway, I cannot believe he was sacked at Birmingham City, it

:19:02. > :19:05.was a disgrace. What he did at Burton with no money, what he did at

:19:06. > :19:10.Birmingham with no money. It looks like Swansea might get relegated,

:19:11. > :19:14.and who better than Gary Rowett? He knows the division, give him more

:19:15. > :19:24.money, they have a chance of coming back. I liked the analogy about this

:19:25. > :19:26.one getting their ducks in a row. What about Crystal Palace? Big Sam

:19:27. > :19:29.starts with a draw and they know what they are getting. I heard

:19:30. > :19:31.somebody say when he got the job, he will avoid relegation. He'll be

:19:32. > :19:36.halfway up the league because they have got players in place. He's

:19:37. > :19:40.great in the January transfer window as everybody knows. And I think this

:19:41. > :19:44.is the easiest job he's had. In terms of joining a relegation

:19:45. > :19:48.threatened team this is the easiest job he's had. To reiterate, Palace

:19:49. > :19:55.are guaranteed to stay in the Premier League? Correct. And if it

:19:56. > :19:59.doesn't happen, Trevor said it. OK. Allardyce's old team Sunderland were

:20:00. > :20:03.dealt a blow with the news that Jordan Pickford picked up a serious

:20:04. > :20:07.injury in the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on Boxing Day. We

:20:08. > :20:12.can show you where it happened, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal, a clash

:20:13. > :20:16.with his own player on his knee. Went down at the time and could be

:20:17. > :20:19.out for some period of time, too. The first game he will miss is

:20:20. > :20:28.against Burnley at Turf Moor today. We can get the latest from there.

:20:29. > :20:32.Hello. The interesting thing for Sunderland is that they probably

:20:33. > :20:38.already had the longest injury list of any team in the Premier League

:20:39. > :20:41.anyway. So the last thing they needed was an absentee as

:20:42. > :20:45.significant as Jordan Pickford. But at least they've got Vito Mannone,

:20:46. > :20:49.who himself was injured, lost his place when he got back fit because

:20:50. > :20:53.Pickford was playing so well, so at least they have a ready-made

:20:54. > :20:57.replacement. The number of absent players is only going to get worse

:20:58. > :21:00.because the Africa cup of Nations gets underway in a few weeks' time

:21:01. > :21:04.and they will lose three more players on January two, and they are

:21:05. > :21:08.still trying to negotiate to see whether those players will be

:21:09. > :21:12.available for the Liverpool game. But that three players to add to the

:21:13. > :21:17.three or four, including Pickford, who will be out for a minimum of the

:21:18. > :21:20.next two months or so. They are stretched to the limit. The

:21:21. > :21:25.substitutes, the bench at Old Trafford, there were three or four

:21:26. > :21:28.young players who rarely had an appearance between them other than

:21:29. > :21:31.in the League Cup. So he has got a lot of problems, David Moyes, in

:21:32. > :21:36.terms of just literally getting people out on to the park. Now, if

:21:37. > :21:39.that's not depressing enough, they have already been conversations that

:21:40. > :21:43.have taken place saying they have not got many funds available in

:21:44. > :21:46.January to supplement what they've got. One or two of their players,

:21:47. > :21:51.Jermain Defoe most significantly, linked with a move away. Sounds like

:21:52. > :21:55.such a depressing end to the season but I can give Sunderland fans want

:21:56. > :21:59.little piece of news. They were ahead of where they were this time

:22:00. > :22:07.one year ago, albeit Sam Allardyce had just been put in charge and

:22:08. > :22:10.started to turn things around. Burnley can move nine points clear

:22:11. > :22:13.today. Even though Jeff Hendrick is suspended, you have to say things

:22:14. > :22:18.are going well for them. Thank you. Those rumours about players coming

:22:19. > :22:21.in and out, Jordan Pickford is one David Moyes was thinking about

:22:22. > :22:25.selling to get more money in because he is so highly rated. I don't think

:22:26. > :22:30.David Moyes wants to sell him. But you know what I mean. I think the

:22:31. > :22:35.owners lost interest in the club. Pretty certain if he had a decent

:22:36. > :22:39.offer he would sell. So why is he going to spend money in the

:22:40. > :22:45.meantime? Add that to the injuries and you are in a bit of a mass. The

:22:46. > :22:49.only thing is, where there is hope, there is Defoe, he might just get

:22:50. > :22:52.you enough goals. I know the world and his wife would want to take on

:22:53. > :22:59.but I don't see him leaving Sunderland. And you can follow that

:23:00. > :23:04.match on final score this afternoon. Trevor pulling a double shift for

:23:05. > :23:08.that today. Alex Bruce also joining Jason Timmis Judeo.

:23:09. > :23:25.Time for some more goals. On Tuesday Liverpool tried to keep some

:23:26. > :23:35.pressure on Chelsea at the top as they took on Stoke at Anfield.

:23:36. > :23:43.COMMENTATOR: Liverpool all in red, Stoke all in sky blue. And it's into

:23:44. > :23:51.the net exclamation marks Stoke have taken the lead! Jon Walters has put

:23:52. > :23:58.them in front. Blocked by the goalkeeper. I did not have the

:23:59. > :24:05.feeling, that's it. Goodness, cleared off the line. He is now

:24:06. > :24:13.inside the penalty area. Plays it back. Into the net! And Liverpool

:24:14. > :24:25.have equalised. Liverpool still on the attack. And into the net, and

:24:26. > :24:33.Liverpool, having been a goal down 90 seconds before half-time, are now

:24:34. > :24:45.2-1 in front. Plays it in, and inches wide of the post. Henderson

:24:46. > :24:49.takes it up. And it's 3-1 Liverpool. And Liverpool now have the 2-goal

:24:50. > :24:55.cushion, 15 minutes into the second half. The third goal was fantastic.

:24:56. > :25:04.A Christmas present. And Shawcross plays it back, Sturridge is in

:25:05. > :25:07.there. 4-1. Horrendous mistake. Daniel Sturridge has been on the

:25:08. > :25:12.field and minute and scored certainly the winning goal for

:25:13. > :25:17.Liverpool. 4-1. The hundreds that has been scored since you have been

:25:18. > :25:25.here. 100? I have to say I cannot remember all of them. Maybe they'll

:25:26. > :25:28.have make the DVD of it. To STUDIO: I think you might have missed the

:25:29. > :25:31.Christmas rush for that DVD, it's all about streaming these days.

:25:32. > :25:37.Stoke are at Stamford Bridge today and we will be there shortly.

:25:38. > :25:45.Klopp's men face Manchester City and Lawro has been to see what one of

:25:46. > :25:51.Liverpool 's finest thinks. Kenny Dalglish was the best player I ever

:25:52. > :25:58.played with. COMMENTATOR: Yes! Kenny Dalglish. He could run. He had a big

:25:59. > :26:04.fat bottom. And I tell you something, he was a genius.

:26:05. > :26:12.Dalglish! What a goal. Make goals, create goals. And put in by

:26:13. > :26:18.Lawrenson! He was three or four passes ahead of everybody.

:26:19. > :26:31.Best player I think ever to play for Liverpool. Once more, sorry Mark.

:26:32. > :26:39.Jesus, he can't even get the clap right. Liverpool at the moment going

:26:40. > :26:43.well. That are going really well since Jurgen Klopp has come in, the

:26:44. > :26:56.whole atmosphere the 14 months he has been there is fantastic. It has

:26:57. > :27:01.come back. A bit of Shanks in there? I know everybody has to label him.

:27:02. > :27:09.Label him as Jurgen. He is his own man. It was different when Shanks

:27:10. > :27:13.was there, when we went in afterwards we were lucky, we just

:27:14. > :27:19.filled in a hole that somebody left, but he's had to start further back

:27:20. > :27:27.than us. It does feel very much like it used to be. Stevie G has come

:27:28. > :27:32.back and stopped playing, do you envisage a role for him at the club?

:27:33. > :27:38.I think he has aspirations to get into football, maybe wants to go

:27:39. > :27:42.slowly and then get a managerial position. If he's got the appetite

:27:43. > :27:46.there will be roles for him at the club, even if it's at the academy.

:27:47. > :27:53.He's a true and assassin to the football club. But the will decide

:27:54. > :27:56.that. Looking back, the other thing, how difficult was it going from

:27:57. > :28:01.player to manage a? Is the best part. The managerial site... I just

:28:02. > :28:11.loved playing. You know yourself what the terrible

:28:12. > :28:19.place the dressing room is for a wind-up, you know what is coming.

:28:20. > :28:24.You are going to get it. Aye. I remember Joe Fagan said it was the

:28:25. > :28:28.hardest job in the world. You've got people to help you but you still

:28:29. > :28:36.feel a little isolated at times. The players were dirty and, they just

:28:37. > :28:44.went along with it. And Rush is on the far side. Is this very? It is.

:28:45. > :28:47.Liverpool and their manager Kenny Dalglish have become only the third

:28:48. > :28:52.team to win the marvellous double in the same season. It was in a

:28:53. > :28:55.believable season. To turn that around a little bit too year ago,

:28:56. > :29:02.when you were manager first time, how important was it to win the

:29:03. > :29:07.first trophy -- to turn it round to Jurgen Klopp. Trophies are important

:29:08. > :29:15.for the supporters. When we won this and got that. He is not far away

:29:16. > :29:18.from a trophy. He knows he's good at his job, everybody who supports

:29:19. > :29:21.Liverpool knows he's good at his job. He is fantastic for the

:29:22. > :29:25.football club and I think the football club is a great fit for

:29:26. > :29:33.him. Fortunately they have each other.

:29:34. > :29:39.STUDIO: A ringing endorsement from Kenny Dalglish. Obviously these two

:29:40. > :29:45.managers know each other's well from the Bundesliga. You just hope,

:29:46. > :29:49.sometimes these big games have let us down, will we see a classic here?

:29:50. > :29:54.The Manchester United game was typical of what you are saying. But

:29:55. > :29:58.both these managers, it's not about defending, it's about entertaining,

:29:59. > :30:00.playing expansive football and going for the jugular. Whoever turns up to

:30:01. > :30:06.night and is better in the final third will win the game. Adam

:30:07. > :30:10.Lallana we have talked about on a fewer occasions, but why is he

:30:11. > :30:15.thriving so much under Jurgen Klopp? The next or neighbour has probably

:30:16. > :30:18.helped. Yeah, yeah, he brings his milk in for him. He's probably the

:30:19. > :30:22.fittest he has ever been and not just him but the whole Liverpool

:30:23. > :30:26.squad. I think he's the fittest of the fittest as well. Now you've got

:30:27. > :30:31.an end product, you've got goals, assists. He's obviously full of

:30:32. > :30:36.confidence. There might be an argument he might be the best player

:30:37. > :30:38.around at the moment from August through to December, not too many

:30:39. > :30:43.would be better I would have thought. camaraderie, He has been

:30:44. > :30:47.improving year after year since he started in the Premier League. I

:30:48. > :30:51.think the Southampton fans, I'm not talking about the fans that watch

:30:52. > :30:54.the first teem, but people who watched him play youth football have

:30:55. > :31:01.been waiting for this to happen. They know he has had more in the

:31:02. > :31:07.locker. He is starting to do that consistently. He is the player that

:31:08. > :31:14.Liverpool thought they had bought. When he came he didn't feature much.

:31:15. > :31:22.If Jurgen Klopp has matched him well, what about the Daniel

:31:23. > :31:26.Sturridge situation? Better. He is a fantastic talent, but he has not won

:31:27. > :31:31.the crowd over. Not like, looking at Mane he has been there two minutes

:31:32. > :31:34.and they love him. Daniel's not captivated the Anfield faithful. But

:31:35. > :31:39.now he has found his role, he is coming off the bench and having an

:31:40. > :31:44.impact and he is not spitting the dummy out or saying I'm not playing.

:31:45. > :31:48.He is coming in, playing his part and being positive and Jurgen Klopp

:31:49. > :31:52.has done a great job with him. In the term manager you have got to

:31:53. > :31:57.manage, that what is he has done with Sturridge and he doesn't get

:31:58. > :32:04.any best starting eleven and he is saying, until the day comes when I

:32:05. > :32:08.know I can rely on you over a period of weeks and months, you're not

:32:09. > :32:13.going to start. But what a fantastic weapon for 20 minutes at the end. I

:32:14. > :32:20.think Daniel is improving. He is pressing. When he is good enough at

:32:21. > :32:28.doing that, he will play. What about City today? Aguero is back he has

:32:29. > :32:33.played havoc with people's fantasy teams. I had him as captain. What

:32:34. > :32:41.about Yaya Toure, is that a big decision to play him? I think he

:32:42. > :32:44.does. With his, the size of him he has that physical presence. If

:32:45. > :32:52.someone, we all know Liverpool will press, if the ball comes to Yaya

:32:53. > :32:57.Toure and he is pressed he won't panic, he is six foot four and he

:32:58. > :33:04.will pass it when he is ready. Give him some cake and send him out! Dear

:33:05. > :33:08.me! Can anyone catch Chelsea. It is more than three months since they

:33:09. > :33:15.lost a Premier League game and the records keep coming. Chelsea pleased

:33:16. > :33:20.to see the back of September. Can he get the shot away? Chelsea take the

:33:21. > :33:27.lead. Comfortable victory for Chelsea. Antonio Conte on top. Not

:33:28. > :33:34.in their wildest dreams did Chelsea think it would be so easy. Brilliant

:33:35. > :33:41.goal from Diego Costa. Magnificent, monumental master class by Chelsea.

:33:42. > :33:46.His sixth successive Premier League win for Antonio Conte's Chelsea.

:33:47. > :33:50.Moses scores. A difficult match. And an important victory. Chelsea have

:33:51. > :33:55.turned it around. What a second half performance this has been. Chelsea

:33:56. > :34:03.going for that ninth league win in a row. Sensational goal. Brilliant

:34:04. > :34:11.play from Diego Costa. Fabregas... Brilliantly well taken. That is far

:34:12. > :34:17.too simple a goal. Brilliantly put away by Pedro. It is 12 in a row.

:34:18. > :34:27.They are good. A club record 12 wins in a row and Stoke visitors today.

:34:28. > :34:34.Motty is there for us. Hello Mr Motson. It is all right, I'm a bit

:34:35. > :34:41.nervous, the last time I was on, I had Mark Lawrenson complaining about

:34:42. > :34:45.his coat. As he has tone an excel -- done an excellent interview with

:34:46. > :34:49.Kenny Dalglish, I will soften him up. I some people thought I

:34:50. > :34:53.exaggerated Chelsea's quality in that game. But from what has

:34:54. > :34:59.happened, I may have been justified, but we won't get into that too much,

:35:00. > :35:04.because today if they win their 13th game in a row, they have equalled

:35:05. > :35:09.the record in the Premier League in the same season. Arsenal went into

:35:10. > :35:14.14, but that included a match at the start of the season after. Diego

:35:15. > :35:19.Costa and Kante are back from suspension. Pedro is out. And

:35:20. > :35:24.talking of suspensions, this is the last day that you can get your fifth

:35:25. > :35:29.yellow card and miss a game. And that means that Luiz in particular

:35:30. > :35:39.is walking on a tightrope. He is on four. If he gets booked, he will not

:35:40. > :35:46.play in the big match at White Hart Lane. That is maybe by John Terry is

:35:47. > :35:50.back in the squad. For Stoke, Mark Hughes, he knows Chelsea Re well,

:35:51. > :35:56.but they don't have a good record at Stamford Bridge. No, neither does

:35:57. > :36:00.he. Two draws and nine defeats in eleven visits as a manager. Although

:36:01. > :36:06.Mark did play if you remember in the Chelsea team that won the FA Cup

:36:07. > :36:11.back in 1997. I can't believe by the way that is 20 years ago. Stoke's

:36:12. > :36:17.record is not great here. You have shown their defeat at Liverpool and

:36:18. > :36:22.talked about Joe Allen. The person I would match is Charlie Adam. It was

:36:23. > :36:27.here where he scored that goal from the centre circle two years ago. One

:36:28. > :36:34.of the most memorable goals in Premier League history. You would

:36:35. > :36:41.like me to finish with a mystic statistic! Here is one for you, in

:36:42. > :36:46.Chelsea's 12 match winning run, only one opponent has scored against

:36:47. > :36:56.them. Work that one out. Who is he? There you go. What are you asking us

:36:57. > :37:02.for? He has dropped a bomb there. To go back to what Motty said, for the

:37:03. > :37:06.wins, Arsenal got 14 in a row when you add in one at the start of

:37:07. > :37:13.season. But they're brilliant to watch. Yes, organised, disciplined,

:37:14. > :37:18.but then when they go and attack, the tempo they do and the quality,

:37:19. > :37:24.it is good to watch. I think they have got a system that suits the

:37:25. > :37:29.players. I think, this is why they have a chance, they can play

:37:30. > :37:36.relatively poorly and win. What difference does when you have an

:37:37. > :37:42.individual like Hazard, who arguably playing better than two years ago

:37:43. > :37:47.when he was Player of the Year. The thing about him, he plays more

:37:48. > :37:52.inside, as does Pedro, to allow the wing-backs to get further forward.

:37:53. > :37:55.Once you come and play inside, Trevor will know, you come inside

:37:56. > :38:03.and the pitch is bigger. Completely bigger. But he has been fantastic.

:38:04. > :38:08.Eyes with the penalty. That is confidence. He is playing the game

:38:09. > :38:13.in third gear. He is enjoying his football. I agree, he is probably

:38:14. > :38:17.better than two years ago. He understand what is the Premier

:38:18. > :38:20.League is about and when he is going to going to be expected to get a

:38:21. > :38:25.whack and how to ride the challenges and he may not have got that in

:38:26. > :38:30.France. I think he has matured as a player. Sometimes when you have had

:38:31. > :38:34.disappointment, which last season for Chelsea was a disappointment,

:38:35. > :38:38.listen, you come back and you get all your full strengths and you

:38:39. > :38:45.playing to the top of your ability, it feels a lot better. But they have

:38:46. > :38:50.not won the league yet. Half way. Maybe we are getting carried away.

:38:51. > :38:54.Yes. They can win games when they don't play well. Whether they play

:38:55. > :39:01.well or not, they're not conceding a lot and that is important. Talking

:39:02. > :39:14.of winning runs, we must mention The New Saints in Wales. They beat Cefn

:39:15. > :39:24.-- - Cefn Druids to beat the record of Ajax from the 1970s. Chelsea have

:39:25. > :39:26.away to go and they're at White Hart Lane on Wednesday to face Tottenham

:39:27. > :39:42.who beat Southampton in midweek. A curling free kick and van Dijk

:39:43. > :39:54.scores for Southampton. His third goal of the campaign. What a poor

:39:55. > :40:02.start for Tottenham. Sissoko's cross and Alli's header. 18 minutes gone

:40:03. > :40:08.and it is 1-1. J Eriksen with the corner and it is in. A flying

:40:09. > :40:16.header. It is one of their own. It is Harry Kane. He has fed in and

:40:17. > :40:25.rode the challenge and stuck it wide. It will be a penalty. A red

:40:26. > :40:32.card. The referee waited a long time before sending Redmond off. That is

:40:33. > :40:43.harsh. Oh! Over the bar. Looks down at the spot. Eriksen with a lovely

:40:44. > :40:51.ball. Left-footed and gives Spurs the points with five and a half

:40:52. > :41:01.minutes to go, they go 3-1 up. Can this be another one? It is. Another

:41:02. > :41:11.fine finish by Alli. Forster beaten. The Southampton fans are leaving.

:41:12. > :41:16.Raise You worked it out. One player scored against them. Christian

:41:17. > :41:26.Eriksen, the other goal was in the Manchester City game was an own goal

:41:27. > :41:34.by Cahill. He Googled it. Ring Motson. Those were goals 15 and 16

:41:35. > :41:39.for Alli after just 50 appearances for the Tottenham first team. So we

:41:40. > :41:57.went to find out what makes him tick.

:41:58. > :42:04.Your king of the nutmegs, why do you love them so much? I don't know.

:42:05. > :42:09.Growing up I played a lot in the streets and nutmegs were sort of a

:42:10. > :42:15.big part of that. People got nutmegged, you got to punch them in

:42:16. > :42:21.the arm. A dead arm. So I think I kept it in my game. You do secret

:42:22. > :42:28.nutmegs as well. That would really wiped me up. I have to do it when

:42:29. > :42:42.they're not not. I liked the one on England. You know. Eric Dier, you

:42:43. > :42:47.have a bromance, this love affair. How did you become friends what,

:42:48. > :42:53.cemented that love? Well I joined and he was one of the first people I

:42:54. > :42:57.connected with. He was always talking and we started playing

:42:58. > :43:06.midfield together. I thought, what is this guy doing? . It is another

:43:07. > :43:12.genius move by the manager. You're so mean to him sometimes. Yeah he is

:43:13. > :43:17.like my big brother and I have to wind him up. He said today I looked

:43:18. > :43:22.like I was going to school. But it you love each other? Yes we do, love

:43:23. > :43:28.is a strong word, but we like each other. You have a special hand shake

:43:29. > :43:34.you do. I have a lot of hand shakes. How did this start? I don't know.

:43:35. > :43:41.Can we do a special football focus hand shake? Mine is Sonny's is like

:43:42. > :43:59.this and like this and like this. Like paper. Rock, paper scissors.

:44:00. > :44:04.And like this and then that. Fine. Can this be another one? It is.

:44:05. > :44:09.Another fine finish by Alli. There is a lot of kids look up to you and

:44:10. > :44:13.you're still young yourself. Do you feel any pressure that there are

:44:14. > :44:18.nine and ten-year-olds who have their name on your back and want to

:44:19. > :44:23.be you? No, I enjoy it. It is a thing that comes with the job and

:44:24. > :44:26.something I thrive on. I'm still 20, but I accept the responsibilities I

:44:27. > :44:30.have now in this position. I'm grateful for everything I have got.

:44:31. > :44:35.And I have got to carry on and hopefully make them happy. Where are

:44:36. > :44:41.you going to be in five years time do you think? Five years? When you

:44:42. > :44:49.think about how much happened in one year. But just to be the best player

:44:50. > :44:53.can I, I know it is a cliche, you can't look too far into the future.

:44:54. > :44:59.I have just signed a new contract and my only focus is Tottenham.

:45:00. > :45:12.STUDIO: Spurs fans might worry about him saying "At the minute". But look

:45:13. > :45:15.how he compared to some of the greats of the Premier League.

:45:16. > :45:21.Sensational, especially when you look at the names he has been put up

:45:22. > :45:25.alongside. For me he is an absolute gazelle of an athlete, he's got

:45:26. > :45:29.great technique. One of the biggest thing is he's got going for him,

:45:30. > :45:32.he's got that experience of playing 100 games plus in the lower

:45:33. > :45:36.divisions which puts him in a different sphere at the moment. The

:45:37. > :45:40.experience he's got, he feels comfortable what he's doing at

:45:41. > :45:44.Tottenham, and I think he will go from strength to strength. When you

:45:45. > :45:47.look at what he has done in a year since leaving MK Dons, it's

:45:48. > :45:52.frightening to think where he might be in five. The thing I like about

:45:53. > :45:58.him beside the obvious, he's edgy. You don't mind that? I love it.

:45:59. > :46:02.He'll put his foot in, you can whack him, he'll whack you back. For me

:46:03. > :46:06.all the top players have had that and have got that. Healthy for Spurs

:46:07. > :46:14.as well to be spreading the goals around. I want to show you the goal

:46:15. > :46:18.celebration from Dele Alli's second against Southampton. Look at the guy

:46:19. > :46:27.we've highlighted in the background, read double clap celebration.

:46:28. > :46:33.Wonderful to see. You might be in pain but throw the clutches in the

:46:34. > :46:39.air. I hope the insurance claim doesn't go against him now. I

:46:40. > :46:47.remember Christian Benteke got a lot of grief for his penalty against

:46:48. > :46:50.Crystal Palace. This is a full ledgering of a penalty. Don't you

:46:51. > :46:56.think this was all he was ever going to do? Completely smash it. Since

:46:57. > :46:59.October he had not been scoring. And he said he had been thinking about

:47:00. > :47:05.it too much. He is a smash of a ball. Good record. Great record. He

:47:06. > :47:10.got dropped, he looked himself in the mirror and said I've not been

:47:11. > :47:13.doing it, I need to up my tempo and performance. He's gone on the bench,

:47:14. > :47:20.come back, got his goal and I'm sure he'll be flying now. This time last

:47:21. > :47:23.season Tottenham went toe to toe with Leicester at the top of the

:47:24. > :47:31.league. A year makes a big difference. Some fall for the

:47:32. > :47:37.champions, how far will they drop? Another game without a goal for

:47:38. > :47:45.Jamie Vardy. Beaten at home in the Premier League for the first time

:47:46. > :47:49.for almost 14 months. And Leicester edging ever nearer the bottom three.

:47:50. > :47:52.We have to stay together as we did last season when everything was

:47:53. > :48:03.right. Riyad Mahrez! Another successful

:48:04. > :48:07.Claudio Ranieri and Leicester. Desire, resilience, skill and drive.

:48:08. > :48:22.What a save by Schmeichel. He has done it! Jamie Vardy for

:48:23. > :48:28.Leicester. Champions from the championship in one season? Surely

:48:29. > :48:33.not. Good afternoon. A match which Claudio Ranieri says is must win,

:48:34. > :48:37.already. Yeah, I think he's just trying to alert people to the fact

:48:38. > :48:41.that Leicester City potentially could sleepwalk into a full-blown

:48:42. > :48:44.relegation battle. They've got a 3-point cushion at the moment but

:48:45. > :48:48.with games coming thick and fast at this time of year dependent on

:48:49. > :48:52.results, things could change very quickly. We've only rarely seen

:48:53. > :48:57.printers of what Leicester City are capable of, notably recently the 4-2

:48:58. > :49:00.victory over Manchester City. Overall things are not going

:49:01. > :49:04.terribly well and perhaps not the happiest of ships at the moment.

:49:05. > :49:07.With Riyad Mahrez been dropped the other day, the manager clearly

:49:08. > :49:12.coming out afterwards and saying he once more from the player. Leicester

:49:13. > :49:15.should have enough to get out of the situation they are in or to make

:49:16. > :49:19.sure they are safe, of course everyone says that. But the reality

:49:20. > :49:26.is they are where they are because they are losing too many matches. If

:49:27. > :49:30.they win today it would take them on to 20 points, only halfway towards

:49:31. > :49:39.what is supposedly that magic safety line of 40 points. He needs to speak

:49:40. > :49:42.to Slaven Bilic to find out what a difference a win makes. Absolutely,

:49:43. > :49:46.West Ham had been following a similar path to Leicester City,

:49:47. > :49:50.decidedly underwhelming. They managed to get a 2-2 draw and won

:49:51. > :49:55.their last three games and suddenly the world looks a different place to

:49:56. > :50:02.West Ham. When they beat Hull they did not play well. A Man of the

:50:03. > :50:06.Match that day was the post. It did save them on more than one occasion.

:50:07. > :50:10.But they got the job done. One other thing I would say about West Ham, in

:50:11. > :50:14.the last month they've got Andy Carroll fit again and he has been

:50:15. > :50:17.starting up front for the past few games and I just think that gives

:50:18. > :50:22.them an added focal point when they are pushing forward. So I think his

:50:23. > :50:27.presence has helped. The key now and the difficult bit perhaps based on

:50:28. > :50:31.past evidence is keeping him fit. A problem for many managers over the

:50:32. > :50:36.years. We'll talk about Andy Carroll in a moment. The decision to drop

:50:37. > :50:40.Riyad Mahrez, how considerable is that when you think about what a

:50:41. > :50:43.great player he was for them? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter

:50:44. > :50:46.what you've done in the past, it's what you are doing in the present.

:50:47. > :50:49.That's the whole thing about football. This time last year we

:50:50. > :50:53.were all debating whether Leicester City could win the league and we all

:50:54. > :50:58.said they couldn't. Now we are saying, could they be relegated. We

:50:59. > :51:01.all say no they can't, but they could. It's such, nation of many

:51:02. > :51:09.different things. They are so easy to score against. One or two have

:51:10. > :51:13.got nice big fat contracts and while they shouldn't you might take your

:51:14. > :51:18.eye off the ball a bit, literally. And I think, is there any Leicester

:51:19. > :51:21.City player playing at the moment who is performing to the same

:51:22. > :51:26.standard as he was last year? I think the answer to that would be

:51:27. > :51:30.no. I have to agree, and you look at the goal they conceded against

:51:31. > :51:34.Everton, ridiculous. That is just switching off as a defender or as

:51:35. > :51:38.defenders, not concentrating while you are attacking, ball watching.

:51:39. > :51:41.That never happened to Morgan last year. These are just fundamental

:51:42. > :51:46.defending errors that would never happen last year and have started

:51:47. > :51:50.creeping into Leicester City's game. If they continue that, not doing the

:51:51. > :51:55.basics well, they are going to be in trouble. No doubt in my mind they

:51:56. > :51:58.will be in the relegation dogfight. And add that to the fact they were

:51:59. > :52:02.scoring goals out of nothing last year and that's not the same again.

:52:03. > :52:07.Looking at that about Riyad Mahrez, laughing on the bench, that does not

:52:08. > :52:10.sit well with me. So good last season, but him laughing on the

:52:11. > :52:15.bench when he's not playing, it doesn't sit well with me. Andy

:52:16. > :52:20.Carroll will be off the bench. And he does make a difference to any

:52:21. > :52:24.team he plays in. I've listened to some sound bites from his team-mates

:52:25. > :52:28.saying he is really back, fit, and enjoying his football. And listen,

:52:29. > :52:33.when you've got him up there, he can put a quality delivery into the box.

:52:34. > :52:37.Seen him score with the left foot. But if you put anything in the air

:52:38. > :52:44.he is a bully and he will dominate. All their good players are back,

:52:45. > :52:50.aren't they? They've got Payet, Ayew, Antonio, no ball, Cresswell,

:52:51. > :52:55.they are starting to look like a good side. And they take on

:52:56. > :53:10.Manchester City in Pep Guardiola's first-ever FA Cup tie.

:53:11. > :53:16.Aston Villa moved up to ninth in the championship on Thursday, drawing

:53:17. > :53:20.with Leeds, jumping above Barnsley, who play Birmingham City this

:53:21. > :53:24.afternoon. The Tykes have been enjoying a great run under Paul

:53:25. > :53:28.Higginbotham. A man born in the town, been a season ticket holder,

:53:29. > :53:36.player, now the head coach. We paid him a visit.

:53:37. > :53:44.Art you pinching yourself? First cup since 1912, promotion, 2016? I don't

:53:45. > :53:47.think about it until you get asked about it or somebody throws a

:53:48. > :53:53.statistic about the year and things like that. It's been all right. I

:53:54. > :53:56.don't know, I think everybody must be the same, if you sit back and

:53:57. > :54:02.think about that you are not thinking about your job. To go from

:54:03. > :54:07.the cusp of League 1 relegation zone to the cusp of the championship

:54:08. > :54:13.play-offs, you must see the journey? Yeah. And in all honesty I had to

:54:14. > :54:25.sort of remind myself of that at some point. You start expecting too

:54:26. > :54:29.much. It's their team and we just set the standards and push them to

:54:30. > :54:32.be as good as they can be. One of the big things about success is you

:54:33. > :54:37.have to get them to buy in. They have to believe in what they are

:54:38. > :54:41.doing. One thing that can do that is results. So what you are telling

:54:42. > :54:45.them to do is working. Just ride that wave and get them to do it even

:54:46. > :54:50.more. How about dealing with the powers on top? Is that a challenge

:54:51. > :54:54.you enjoy? One thing I have got with the owner at Barnsley, we both

:54:55. > :54:58.Barnsley people. Yeah, we get in rows because why wouldn't you? But

:54:59. > :55:01.we are comfortable doing that and as soon as we walk out the door we have

:55:02. > :55:06.both got the best interests of Barnsley at heart and we fight tooth

:55:07. > :55:09.and nail to make it happen. Are you very different to the person who was

:55:10. > :55:15.development manager at assisting the first-team? You are probably better

:55:16. > :55:22.asking them. I wouldn't be doing my job unless I did. I've never done

:55:23. > :55:27.this before, right? Ask a player about the gaffer with the gaffer

:55:28. > :55:30.actually there. What I want to know is, has he changed much since he

:55:31. > :55:36.took the top job, is he a different person? No, but I would say one

:55:37. > :55:40.thing, last year his Christmas dinner was from Tesco, this year it

:55:41. > :55:46.is from Marks Spencer, so he's gone up. Is that right? You got off

:55:47. > :55:51.lightly there, mate, didn't you? You used to come with your grandad?

:55:52. > :55:55.Yeah. Where were you watching? In the old, probably where it is

:55:56. > :56:00.disguised by the post, there, front row. So this club runs through your

:56:01. > :56:06.veins? If you support a club, you support a club, don't you? Every

:56:07. > :56:12.club I was at, the kit man's job was to give me the Barnsley score when I

:56:13. > :56:15.came in. Barnsley potential contenders maybe for the play-offs

:56:16. > :56:23.this time round with your ambition? We'll see where we end up. The one

:56:24. > :56:27.thing that has abused me is a lot of questions, the question is, I wonder

:56:28. > :56:33.where they come from -- amused me. Nothing will change, we try to win

:56:34. > :56:36.the next game in front of us. Form can go up and down into the results

:56:37. > :56:40.so we'll enjoy it while we are winning and we are not planning on

:56:41. > :56:46.losing. Listen, congratulations. It's been a fantastic 2016. Thank

:56:47. > :56:56.you STUDIO: Ardsley play Birmingham later. Brighton against Cardiff was

:56:57. > :57:02.postponed because of fog and they donated all the prepared foods to

:57:03. > :57:07.inherit must shelter. -- homeless shelter. Last time Barnsley did the

:57:08. > :57:11.double over Birmingham City was 1946, Norman Wrington, there he is,

:57:12. > :57:15.was goalkeeper. He passed away at the age of 93 this week. He had also

:57:16. > :57:20.been assistant manager, groundsman, kit man, among many other roles at

:57:21. > :57:25.the club. They will wear black armbands. Before he died he was told

:57:26. > :57:31.he had been awarded the British Empire medal in the new years

:57:32. > :57:35.Honours list. There was a day when every club had a Norman Rimington,

:57:36. > :57:37.and a lot of them turn into key men. They are the heartbeat of the

:57:38. > :57:42.football club, the most important thing. If you are the manager, you

:57:43. > :57:46.ask the kit man because he knows everything that is going on. Thank

:57:47. > :57:51.you very much, that is it from us this week. We shall be live at

:57:52. > :57:56.Barrow OFC from midday next Saturday gearing up for the FA Cup. We'll

:57:57. > :57:57.leave you with some memories of these past 12 months. From all of

:57:58. > :58:17.us, goodbye. Kane. What a goal! Payet, it's his

:58:18. > :58:24.moment! Sensational from Diego Costa. It's magnificent! The 20th

:58:25. > :58:29.anniversary of taking charge at the club, and a huge smile is worn on

:58:30. > :58:35.the face of Arsene Wenger. England out of the European Championship.

:58:36. > :58:46.Robson Khanna, what a goal. Fantastic Mr Fox. Ooh! What stunner!

:58:47. > :58:58.What a beauty! From Jordan Henderson. It's there! What a

:58:59. > :59:01.turnaround. Zlatan Ibrahimovic! A goal good enough to win a title.

:59:02. > :59:02.Leicester City are the Premier
