Oh, it's absolutely brilliant. Oh, this is getting better and better! | :00:16. | :00:26. | |
Ronaldo! History Boys indeed. They've won the Cup, they've won the | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Cup. He's done it. He has done it! Good | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Sincil Bank Stadium. It was here 11 | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
days ago that Adam Marriott picked up the ball there, threaded it | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
through to Nathan Arnold, who round the Ipswich goalkeeper, stuck it | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
into the back of the net and sent Lincoln to the FA Cup. This is our | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
home for the entirety of Football Focus. And we look to the fixtures | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
and Josh McEachran paints the penalty spot, and can Lincoln do it | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
again? Lincoln are in great, great form and I think will fancy their | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
chances. Throbbing with anticipation of what | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
is to come. Ipswich to win it here. Four minutes of stoppage time to | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
play. Now, here are Lincoln on the break. Arnold's quick. Arnold's | :01:27. | :01:36. | |
through... Arnold's the hero. Lincoln City are through in the | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
dying seconds. Well, we wondered if this was going | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
to be an historic night, it's going to be. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
What a night. What a moment! They've embarrassed | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
Ipswich Town. Utterly unbelievable. I tell you what, if there was a baby | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
born in Lincoln Town in hospital tonight, I hope it's called Lincoln! | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
There we are, then. Non-league national team, Lincoln, taking on | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Brighton. As you can imagine for a big game like this, they are in | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
early! Look at them all! Yay! Very excited, it is understandable, and | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
the FA Cup is here, and l not to disappoint you, we have Dion Dublin | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
and Graeme Le Saux for the show as well. They love love you, Dionne, | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
they love you. Somebody has to. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
You can tell it's a big week, Honey G is performing. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
We missed out then! We are focussing on Lincoln but Lincoln and Sutton. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Two non-league sides for the Cup. It is fantastic. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
It is rare. Very rare. A few years back, a long way back, when I was | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
playing. You know, it is great. Great for the clubs, and for the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
revenue. Great to see so many kids. Yes, it's a great day out, as we | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
often say but speak to the fans, they think they have a real chance. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Lincoln, a real sense of community here, they feel that they can do it | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
again? The team, the club, the town, city, it has a huge identity built | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
around the success of what happened on the pitch. You can see what | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
happened at Ipswich, the character and the quality. They deserve to win | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
it, why not. It is a fantastic opportunity. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
I believe you must be honest, if you think we go in, win this one, we | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
could win that one, that disappointment could be take tonne | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
the league, so be realistic. Let me introduce you to Owen and | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Devlin. How old are you, deaf Lynne? Four years old. | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
No, I've five years old! That's all right. Good maths. I will ask a | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
maths question. What do you think that the score will be? 1-0. | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
To Lincoln? Yeah! Well, that is worth a round of applause. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Owen, what about you? I'm eight years old! And the score? 1-0. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
Determined. OK, look down the camera and say this is what is coming up on | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
Football Focus! This is what is coming up on Football Focus. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Wayne Rooney on 250, not out. It was a proud moment to get to that | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
stage. We're in Lincoln but we can't leave | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Sutton out, can they write another chapter in their rich history? Can | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Tottenham tame the beast? The funny thing is that people think I can eat | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
loads but that has hit the spot. And Josh McEachran on going back to | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
the Bridge with Brentford. I didn't expect to walk into Chelsea | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
first, they are one of the best teams in the world. And genuinely | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
concerned, I think that Owen has a job. A future! Incredible! Right, | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
pipe down, I'm the boss around here! Steady on! Steady on! Right, let's | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
show you the FA Cup ties this weekend. Sorry, Owen. A beautiful | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
shot of lip can cathedral, and Owen told us it is the tallest building | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
in the world, by the way. Arsene Wenger in the stands for | :05:41. | :06:07. | |
Arsenal's trip to Southampton. Four games on Sunday. | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Gabby Logan has been to see the record breakers to see if dedication | :06:15. | :06:27. | |
is really what you need. Rooney! A magnificent goal from | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
Wayne Rooney. Tell us a little bit about what it | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
feels like to score in the Premier League for Manchester United? It's | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
an amazing feeling. You score a goal. The initial feeling is like | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
you're playing football under water and when you score the goal it's | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
like you come up for air and you can hear the crowd, the atmosphere for | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
that four or five seconds. It's mad feeling. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Can you, if you had to record it, the match, would you know how the | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
goal developed or came about? I think so. | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
Go on, then, your favourite goal. The favourite was the Manchester | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
City goal. We were both fighting for the title. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
So the circumstances of the goal? Yes, the goal at Newcastle was | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
better but for the moment, the best feeling, I would say it was that | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
one. ARCHIVE: Russian country's delivery, | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
oh, a sensational goal. That's number 250. Wayne Rooney stands | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
alone as Manchester United record goal-scorer. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
That's a really impressive record to achieve. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Obviously a great moment for myself. A proud moment to get the record. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Sir Bobby Charlton was there, as he always is. He came into the dressing | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
room after the game and congratulated me. That meant a lot. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
I speak to him after any game but for him to be there to give him his | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
congratulations. It was a special moment. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
What do your kids say? I have been speaking to them. They understand. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
They were made up. I have to re-enact it. | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
So let's go back to when you arrived at this club. What were the aims for | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
a young Wayne Rooney? I joined the club at 17. I say I wanted to win | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
trophies. I've done it since being here. When | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
I first joined the club, they had won four Premier Leagues. It is | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
crazy. Now obviously identify won five. I'm | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
sure the likes of Rashford will be looking at me, thinking they've won | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
five Premier League titles but that's the aim. I'm sure if he keeps | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
doing the right things and going the way he is, he will be a great player | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
for this club. And hopefully in ten, whatever many years' time, he will | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
be close to the record. Obviously, there have been many | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
teams coming through, different management regimes in the last few | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
years, has it invigorated you? It is part of football. Obviously | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Manchester United have had the stability of Sir Alex over the 26 | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
years before and over the last three to four years, what they've been | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
doing is trying to find the right one, I believe they've found him. | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
We're working every day. Seeing how he wants to work, setting the team | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
up with the successes around the corner. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
You have said you would like to coach in the future, is it something | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
you feel is a career path you would like to go down? Of course. When you | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
get older you start to think more about the game, especially if you're | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
not playing. You sit there and think, if I were the manager, what | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
would I do? My whole life is around football. The minute I finish | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
playing I would like to stay in the game and hopefully get the | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
opportunity to manage. Players playing in this generation, they | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
have the money to not go into management, so you really do have to | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
want to do it. If you turned on the telly, you are | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
watching Football Focus from Sincil Bank Stadium. And Lincoln take on | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Brighton later on. We are in the dug-out, with Dionne and Graham. You | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
were at Manchester United, Dionne, did you ever think that the great | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
work of Sir Bobby Charlton would be beaten by anybody? Never. But wane | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
has done it. And you don't realise the pressure on you to perform all | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
the time but from 16 years old, he has been in a bubble bubble of | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
football. He has had to perform. He's been a superstar since the age | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
of 19. To continue to score goals at the highest level by people trying | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
to stop you scoring goals at every single game it is a huge game. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
It is every goal he scores seems different. He's not just a one trick | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
pony. But he gets criticism, is he | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
undervalued? I think that the problem is the baggage he picked up | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
along the way. People think has he reached his potential. Some of the | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
things that have come with him have maybe given the impression he is not | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
as focussed as he should have been, he could have done better. But it's | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
a remarkable achievement in terms of goals and the football he played | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
from a young age. But also the spotlight off the pitch is huge as | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
well. What about a future in management? | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
He spoke about that with Gabby but he didn't seem like the right | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
candidate but maybe we've misjudged him? A lot of players talking about | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
being managers over the years, I never thought Paul Ince would be a | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
manager, he is sparky but I think he has done well. But I think that | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
Wayne has so much knowledge to pass on, I think it will be something he | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
could knock into. And Rio Ferdinand says as he has | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
played so much, he feels like he has a who-year-old body. Speak for | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
yourself! I think that footballers are counting in dog years. On a | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
serious note, he has not had, thankfully, a major injury, that | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
keeps you in good shape. But it does get harder. His body has wear and | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
tear. I think what Rio needs is the knocks | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
and the pulls, and he has gotten through them. | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
What about Wigan? They are struggling in the Premiership. What | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
can Wigan do to upset Manchester United? If you sit back you will be | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
beat. So they have to have a go. Warren Joyce will know Manchester | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
United especially with the kids, Jess Lingard. But it is how to stop | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
United. How to stop them? We are speaking with you more later on. And | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
more of the guys sitting in this home team dugout later. A brilliant | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
fact, did you know they have been keeping the grass in tip top shape | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
by browing the cannabis lamps from the police force, all above board | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
and legal. But everything is going their way. | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
At 4.30am they were queuing up all this week to try to get hold of | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
tickets against Brighton. We are making our way down. Good morning | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
everybody. Thank you very much for a warm welcome. This is the away team | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
getting ready, Brighton. Hiya, fellas. And we are later in the home | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
dressing room with the man that scored that great goal, Nathan | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Arnold. Good morning Mr Cowley. Lovely to see you boys. Who are you | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
watching analysis? Yes, the last bit of Brighton. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
What has this been like? We are talking about the guys queuing up | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
for the tickets at 4.30am. The sense of anticipation, and excitement, it | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
must be hard for you to keep it together at times, Nicky? It's been | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
crazy. Going out for training, crowds queuing up around the stadium | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
and it's been crazy for us. And from a boss perspective, Daniel? | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
It's been magic. The magic of the FA Cup has certainly landed in Lincoln. | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
The buzz around the place has been great. The journey we have been on | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
has allowed us to connect with the city and the people. | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
That's the thing, the people of Lincoln have bought into the fact | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
you two are working hard, doing 20-hour days, the sense of | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
community. It has been here for a long time, bringing pride in | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
addition to the fact you are playing good football, playing at the top of | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
the league in the FA Cup? We wanted to connect the people back with the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Football Club. The club had been relegated five years ago and drifted | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
since the relegation. When we arrived we felt it was still in | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
mourning. We wanted to bring an enthusiasm and the work ethic and we | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
have tried to do that. Our players have been great. We have honest, | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
hard-working players. Since day dot they have bought into it everything | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
we asked of them. For us there is a natural connection and chemistry | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
between us and the supporters as I think we have similar traits. | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
And the whole brothers perspective, is it awkward? Does it get easier | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
with success? Do you fight amongst each other? No, not anymore! When we | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
were kids, maybe. I mean argue? Is it easy to talk to someone who is | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
your brother? You have moments. It is important that I'm a strong | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
personality for Danny and don't always agree for the sake of it. We | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
always give our own opinions. The greatest thing about our | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
relationship is the trust. We have a togetherness and that's how we want | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
the players to be. To be together and up for the challenge. We have a | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
big one today. Can I asked what happened against | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
Barrow? You lost against Barrow? Yeah. | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Is that as it is hard to maintain the focus? No excuses. We started | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
well against Barrow. Conceded a poor goal. Barrow were excellent. I | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
wouldn't want to do their performance a disservice by making | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
excuses for ours. We try to be a no excuse mentality. We came up short | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
when conceding away from home at difficult places like Barrow. You | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
are giving yourself an uphill task. We didn't get to our levels. All of | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
us have had prays recently. On Tuesday night we got the criticism | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
we deserve. We have to shoulder it and to be big enough to learn from | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
it and move forward. Are you enjoying the build-up of the | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
game? We came here this morning, Danny is offering us a cup of tea, I | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
thought you would have more important thing but you seem relaxed | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
in this experience? When we started out, we would come | :17:48. | :18:02. | |
in in the second qualifying round. You would have to do two qualifying | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
matches to get to the qualifying rounds. You get four qualifying | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
rounds the first round proper. So to be a game away from being in the | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
last 16 of the FA is pretty amazing so we are going to enjoy it. Look at | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
the smiles on their faces! Guys, I really appreciate you talking to us. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
Thank you very much. The Liverpool versus Wolves game is the early one | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
in the FA Cup fourth round and let's get the team news from Martin | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
Fisher. As expected, wholesale changes made | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
by Jurgen Klopp. Only the goalkeeper and Roberto Firmino survived from | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
Webster's defeat in the TfL cup semifinal against Southampton. -- | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
weapon state's. 21-year-old Connor Randall gets another chance to | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
impress. Storage and Coutinho are among the subs if required. Wolves | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
are without their regular keeper through suspension so 20-year-old | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
Harry Burgoyne will make his third senior appearance. Andy Wyman, on | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
loan from Derby, makes his first start it over 8000 Wolves fans are | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
here to see if their team can make it three home defeats in a row for | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Liverpool. Managed to make it back pitch side! | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Genuinely sprinted into position! I'm slightly out of breath so you | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
will have to talk. Nine changes for Liverpool. What do you think the | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
slump in form is all about? I don't know if you listen to Radio 5 live | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
this week but Juanfran said it was time for Jurgen Klopp to go. Does he | :19:41. | :19:50. | |
take criticism? -- one fan said. It's difficult because they are a | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
very exciting team and are built to attack and create it there was a lot | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
of fluidity in the midfield so there is not a lot of backbone to the team | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
in the way they're set up a they're not scoring goals at one end and | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
keeping pressure on teams, there is always a bit of vulnerability at the | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
back and that seems to me that they getting punished. They might be | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
playing quite well but are getting punished and conceding goals. You | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
can't read into nine changes too much, in terms of he's picking a | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
team for this particular game and thinking about other matters as | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
well. But ultimately, it is such fine margins and they're getting | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
punished for things that maybe aren't as bad as we think. The new | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
managers that have come in realising it is not a two horse race or three | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
race. Lots of teams can win the league. Starting with the squeeze | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
out his thinking, we can't do that all the time. He is changing the way | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
he plays against certain teams. I still think he's the right man for | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
the job. I like him, I think he's a very good manager. Sometimes I think | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
other fans of other clubs think that because everybody likes him, he | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
doesn't get criticised as much as some other managers would do but | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
he's got to hold onto his best players. Coutinho has signed a | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
contract but contracts don't mean much these days it up Lallana is a | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
fantastic player for them and it is a talisman. You've got to have | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
something to fall back on when those players aren't able to play about | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
level. They can't do it 90 minutes every game. When they come to life, | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
they perform at the highest levels and they do individual brilliance. | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
Players like Coutinho and I still think Daniel Sturridge... Henderson | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
has become a better player and Firmino is standing up to be | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
counted. Players like that will attract other players. You can't | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
bring in the great players if you don't have great players. 9000 | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Wolves fans are going to be at Anfield. Doesn't surprise me. Paul | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Lambert said they're going to go for it and had nothing to lose. Could be | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
a great afternoon. Given how Liverpool are playing at the moment, | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
if they can absorb the pressure Liverpool will throw at them, and | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
take advantage of chances, whether it is set pieces counterattack, they | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
can go and win that game and they will fancy their chances. Paul | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Lambert knows how to win a he was the manager of another club and beat | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
Norwich 6-0. He ended up being the Norwich manager later. He knows how | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
to win an individual game. You dug into the memory banks there! I'll | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
give eight-year-old Owen a shout! Let's show you the fact that you can | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
see all those goals from Anfield on the BBC website. There will also be | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
a programme from 2:30pm where Jason will be joined by Garth Brooks and | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
Kevin Kilbane. Highlights of all today's games on Match of the Day at | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
10:30pm. It is Gabby Logan with Trevor Sinclair and Danny Murphy. | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
Mark Clemmitt has been out with the bus. | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
We're on the trail of two of the clubs who are facing opposition from | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
three divisions higher this week. And a little while, we'll meet one | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
of lower league football's larger-than-life characters but | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
first, having seen off neighbours Wimbledon in the last round in a | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
leafy corner of South London, Sutton united are preparing for the visit | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
of leads -- Leeds. Here we go. Morning, guys. Can you define the | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
essence of this group of players? Why they've had the success they've | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
had? We're tight-knit group. We had promotion last year and we kept | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
together. We've gone on and pushed on and on really well. The club has | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
made about half a million quid. To be frank with you, the least they | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
could run two would be five litres of blue paint! Shall we have a look | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
at the facilities? I'm not in any way denigrating these but a little | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
bit tight, I would suggest. Nice use of the colour brown. Not sure quite | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
what's going on here so I'm not going ask! It's funny what the cup | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
shocks up with your Leeds United connections. It certainly does but | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
plus, the history that Sutton have got with Leeds, which was 30 odd | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
years ago... 47 years ago, 1970! All good ingredients. There you are! | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
That's a goal. What a pity for Dave. I think six was not about score. I | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
think we got off quite likely. 64 Leeds. Do you think this generation | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
stand any chance this weekend? They stand a better chance than we did, | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
I'm certain of that. He twists and turns on shoots and scores | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
spectacularly. Has life changed hugely for you over the last eight | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
weeks, since you started scoring these crucial goals? I could say | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
yes. A lot of interviews, a lot of new friends showing up from back in | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
the day. Can you imagine the atmosphere around here at four | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
o'clock on Sunday afternoon, if you were to beat them? It would be | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
amazing. It would surpass the feeling... It would be incredible. | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
People are pinching themselves. We've seen managers in the Leeds | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
United poster from 1970. I never dreamt that looking at that post of | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
the last ten years since I've been here that one day that could happen | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
to me and this club again. Meanwhile, Wycombe Wanderers are | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
heading to Spurs and in the best traditions of the FA Cup, we've | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
brought their biggest name to his favourite jerk chicken shop. There | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
he is! Are you good? I'm good! I can see you are. Have you finished? I | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
can't believe that! The funny thing is, people think agony loads and | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
loads and loads but this hit the spot! Do you in anyway resent the | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
fact that whenever anybody talks about you, it's always your physical | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
Di mentioned before the football? Not any more. Used to be, "Look, I'm | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
a footballer first and foremost," about my size but now it doesn't | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
really bother me to it people said I was too big to play football but 14 | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
later, I'm still here. It has so do well, hasn't it? I would argue that | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
you are probably the best-known player in the lower two divisions. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
Social media has played a massive part and I think it bridges the gap. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
It makes what is such a big world smaller. It makes anybody | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
accessible. And Liverpool, we played Liverpool, Wimbledon, it took me on | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
to a whole other plateau. What a great goal that is. Unleash the | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
beast! One of my favourite moments of the season was the explosion of | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
joy when you came out of perhaps to go to Tottenham. -- out of the hat. | :27:07. | :27:15. | |
This is what I think the beauty of the FA Cup is. It's what the lower | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
league teams dream of, a chance to pick yourself up against the elite | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
and at the moment, Totten is probably one of the most inform | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
teams around, especially in the Premier league. So, for us, I | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
wouldn't say it is what dreams are made but this is what we play | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
football for. For myself, I'm going to try enjoy every minute. | :27:35. | :27:45. | |
One last thing. Somebody told me there was a little dance, a couple | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
of moves. Can you give us a little demonstration? Trust me on Saturday, | :27:52. | :27:59. | |
if I score or if we win, you will be seeing these moves on Saturday. | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
That's worth watching the highlights programme! Just for that! Thank you. | :28:04. | :28:11. | |
Thank you. We are back Lincoln Lounge. Good | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
afternoon, everyone. Are you all right? | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
CHEERING They are up for the cup! People do | :28:17. | :28:24. | |
talk about the size and the fact he is the strongest player, which he is | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
quite proud of, but have either of you had to mark somebody as | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
formidable as that? I've had to mark a lot of people bigger than me, for | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
obvious reasons! The thing you can't afford to do with somebody like that | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
is you can't allow them to dominate so you've got to give your | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
distances, use everything in your power, on the fringe of breaking the | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
rules occasionally with your arms, just to make sure you protect | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
yourself and don't let them dominate it up I'd pass him on! You can mark | :28:49. | :28:56. | |
on corners! He's incredibly strong so don't try and mark him with | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
strength because he will just take the Mickey out of you. That's what | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
he can do. He's a big strong lad but he can still score goals, hold it | :29:05. | :29:10. | |
up, and he's got talent. He is just a unit and I'd hate to mark him. I | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
always found jumping into Google was the best form of defence. I can | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
vouch for that! Needed that many times against meet drop whatever you | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
do to get an advantage! From a certain perspective, quite a few | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
teams playing away from home this weekend. Will talk about the other | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
non-league sides. Playing on a three Gbits, what advantage does that give | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
you, bearing in mind Sutton play and train on it most weeks? As good as | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
they are, it doesn't play like a real grass pitch and you have to | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
adapt the way you pass the ball, you can't go so long if you need to. The | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
read of the ball and the bouncers different. Your positional play... | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
When you are nowhere near the ball, your positional play has to be | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
better because that ball is going to regional area very quickly so you've | :29:58. | :30:01. | |
got to be aware of how much quicker it is playing on the surface. We | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
heard from Roarie Deacon, who has scored a few goals and been | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
impressing people and other goals are looking at him. Buddhism in the | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
FA Cup do and you have a personal experience. -- that is something the | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
FA Cup do. If you can get in the spotlight, and people can't ignore | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
goals good performances. I was fortunate to score a couple of goals | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
against Sheffield Wednesday for Cambridge United and I ended up | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
getting move to Manchester United. That is a dream move that happens | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
once every 50 years but if you can keep doing it, stay in the eye line, | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
you never know who is watching. How soon after the game did someone give | :30:38. | :30:43. | |
you a tingle on the phone? It was months, not years. They said, "We've | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
seen you do that and would like to take you...? Sir Alex Obama seen me | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
play live. He had a video tape and I think it was Betamax back then, of | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
my goals. He said, I fancy a bit of this man, get him signed up. I knew | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
I was in the wrong position! I nearly got sold down the leagues! | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
Stop being down on yourself. The fourth round of the FA Cup kicked | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
off last night with an East Midlands derby. Graham was commentating on | :31:10. | :31:11. | |
this. Here we go. Akinfenwa All eyes on East Midlands | :31:12. | :31:30. | |
at Pride Park tonight. In the end it's an awful own goal. | :31:31. | :31:42. | |
Darren Bent can't believe it. Craig Bryson to give them the lead! Gray! | :31:43. | :31:51. | |
Over Bent. Simpson can't deal with it. There's the header and there's | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
the equaliser from Morgan. Leicester and Derby must do it all again. | :31:58. | :32:04. | |
So, four goals last night. We have had an early goal at Anfield, Wolves | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
are a goal up. We said it would be a day where Wolves would go for it. | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
Well, this is it. Now they can invite Liverpool. I'm sure that the | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
game plan is to try to stop the space behind them. | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
So, searman getting the goal for Wolves. Something else to talk | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
about, Arsene Wenger will be watching in the stands, a four-game | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
ban. Do you think he got off lightly with this? Not having a stadium ban? | :32:34. | :32:39. | |
I think it's about right. I think they have it right. I have been | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
speaking to Graeme about this. He has been giving insight into what | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
could have happened. Because he admitted he had done something | :32:49. | :32:52. | |
wrong, the FA see it favourably. That may have gone a way to reducing | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
the ban, the same with the fine. I think there could be a question mark | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
about whether or not a couple of games should have been stadium | :33:02. | :33:05. | |
banned. The full ban. Obviously you have to make sure as an organisation | :33:06. | :33:11. | |
that players and managers know you cannot man handle officials. | :33:12. | :33:15. | |
Does it affect the players? Some will be delighted that the manager | :33:16. | :33:19. | |
is not on the touch line. They will! Some players like to get on with it. | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
Some time they feel that the manager is in your ear. It will benefit | :33:25. | :33:30. | |
some, hinder others. The other thing is he does not have history. He has | :33:31. | :33:35. | |
not been in front of FA for several years. So that is taken into | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
context. I think it is right. | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
He Haas had a few. Bits and bobs. Well, we are live from Lincoln. If | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
you switched on, this is Football Focus, we are here until 1.00pm. We | :33:49. | :34:00. | |
still have this on the way for you. Jamie Raven is weaving his Cup | :34:01. | :34:08. | |
magic. And the Millwall manager, Neil Harris as his side eye up | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
another big boy. We also have Hull taking on Fulham | :34:12. | :34:17. | |
this week. Apologies with the break up in the sound, Ryan Mason, we saw | :34:18. | :34:23. | |
last week, a horrible injury, within an hour, into hospital having an | :34:24. | :34:27. | |
operation, the players are visiting him this weekend at St Mary's | :34:28. | :34:31. | |
Hospital. It shows you how much medical care has come on in the last | :34:32. | :34:37. | |
few years? And rightly so. Anything can happen quickly on a football | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
field or in any sport. The way that they dealt with Ryan Mason was | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
outstanding. They were all there. I forget the doctor's name he was at | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
Liverpool for many years but he took charge. He said don't do that. He | :34:51. | :34:55. | |
was instructing everything. To get on there, to get it sorted. To know | :34:56. | :35:01. | |
exactly. Sometimes doctors know from a player's body language how bad the | :35:02. | :35:04. | |
incident is. You famously broke your neck at | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
Aston Villa and then went back on and played again. Would it be | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
different these days in the care that was taken? Probably a one-off | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
incident on my behalf. I crushed C 5. I was off the pitch. The | :35:20. | :35:25. | |
shoulders by the ears, I said I was fine, I went on the pitch for a | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
minute and then the physio knew. The game has taken big strides on | :35:32. | :35:34. | |
getting professional people on the heart of the incidents and dealing | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
with these situations far better. It is the first person on the pitch | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
that is key. So that support that the players have now is fantastic. | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
Proof is obviously with Ryan Mason's situation, how quickly they dealt | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
with it. With the players if they stay down, | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
if a player stays down and doesn't move, there is something wrong. | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
We do wish Ryan Mason all the best and hope he makes a full recovery. | :35:59. | :36:05. | |
And on the pitch for Hull, Robert Snodgrass, liver liver liver has | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
gone as well, they seem to be preparing for going the wrong way | :36:10. | :36:16. | |
down? It is a concern. The players see the other players being sold, | :36:17. | :36:25. | |
the morale is a key issue -- Livermore. | :36:26. | :36:27. | |
The atmosphere in the dressing room will be important. | :36:28. | :36:36. | |
The play the players thinking what can they achieve without Snodgrass | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
and Livermore, they are bottom of the table nothing is going right, | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
they will be worried. Let's hear from Josh McEachran, his | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
side take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He has been around the | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
block. 18 months ago he turned up at Brentford. Juliette Ferrington went | :36:56. | :37:02. | |
to see him. Josh McEachran is coming on, an indication of how highly | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
rated he is by Carlo Ancelotti. I started at Chelsea. Signed a | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
professional contract and made the diboo at Chelsea at 17. . I got | :37:12. | :37:20. | |
along with AB V well. He said I could stay but he was not sure of | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
the game time. I went to Swansea, since then it has been up an down. | :37:26. | :37:32. | |
You come back off loan, then packing another case and shooting off again. | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
How difficult was it? Of course it is unsettling, but about I didn't | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
expect to walk into the Chelsea first team. You have to earn your | :37:42. | :37:47. | |
place. At that time, for whatever reason, the manager didn't think I | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
had heroined my place. It was unsettling. Up and down the | :37:52. | :37:55. | |
motorway, living out of the back of a car. That is part and parcel of | :37:56. | :38:00. | |
being a professional footballer at such a big club. Chelsea, Manchester | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
United, they are all the same. Is it hard to understand, | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
frustrating that so few young English players come through the | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
ranks at such big clubs? It is frustrating but if you are good | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
enough, if the manager believes in you, you will get a chance. Chelsea | :38:18. | :38:24. | |
are getting better at it with the likes of Loftus-Cheek. | :38:25. | :38:31. | |
When you realised that your time had ended at Chelsea, how difficult was | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
it for you to divorce yourself from the situation? Towards the end, when | :38:35. | :38:42. | |
I was at Vitesse Arnhem, I still had a year to the end of the contract | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
but I couldn't see myself breaking it. So I took it upon myself to | :38:46. | :38:52. | |
start a new chapter at Brentford, to get settled and playing back week | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
in, week out. Bradford City, 2-0 down away at | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
Chelsea. They are back to win it 4-2. | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
Does Bradford give you hope from a couple of seasons ago when they went | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
to the Bridge and came back with success? Yes. You never know what is | :39:10. | :39:15. | |
going to happen. I know it will be tough. I'm looking forward to it. | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
The Chelsea fans are excited to see me back there playing. | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
What connection do you have with the Chelsea fans, even though the game | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
time at the Bridge was limited? I think that they are desperate to see | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
a young English lad coming through. The last one was John Terry. They | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
think, I think that is why they took so kindly to me. I'm still 23. I | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
want to be playing in the Premier League. Back playing at the top | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
levels. I still have to work hard, improve as a player. Hopefully, I | :39:50. | :39:56. | |
still think that I can get there. A lot was expected from him from an | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
early age. At Chelsea from the age of eight. Do you think he could be | :40:02. | :40:04. | |
right. That the club could have helped him more? I think it is the | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
down side of the loan stem. He burst into the team. Everybody pinned | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
hopes on him as he was home-grown. As he said, Chelsea were looking for | :40:14. | :40:18. | |
somebody to compare with JT. There was a lot of criticism to the club | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
about not developing home-grown players. From that point of view, | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
once you are farmed out, going on loan, learning the profession it is | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
not a bad thing, I agree with season but four, five seasons you never | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
establish a style of play that suits you and finding it hard to get the | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
best out yourself as a player. So I think he as a result of that has | :40:42. | :40:46. | |
found himself struggling a bit as he has huge potential. He has played at | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
England level all the way up. U16 captain for England. Up to 221s. He | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
has an opportunity to show his quality, play on a big stage and say | :40:58. | :41:03. | |
to everyone: Look, this is what I'm capable of. Maybe this is a | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
springboard. He is still only 21. It is young. | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
And Chelsea, they are so formidable, especially at home. | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
They are wiping the floor with everybody. So many good players. | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
They seem to have a balance. They know exactly what the manager wants, | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
how to perform to stay where they are, the top of the tree they've | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
been great to watch. They will know what it is all about. To know what | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
to expect. He will see a few old face but it will go out of the | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
window when the game starts. Liverpool on Tuesday, Arsenal the | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
following weekend, it could be a decisive week in the title race? | :41:45. | :41:51. | |
Yes. Chelsea have the system, the 3-4-3. Every player knows his role. | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
Strong defensively, they are creating chances. So the balance, | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
that put them as my favourites. Well, we have put a lot into the | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
programme this week, even a magician, here we go, here is Jamie | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
Raven. The players know what it is like to | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
play a giant at the FA Cup. I'm here today to show them it is like | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
performing a magic trick. All you need is confidence... Composure... | :42:18. | :42:24. | |
And perfect timing. What a night! What I love the most | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
about football, and I'm a huge fan is this: You are never on your own. | :42:29. | :42:34. | |
I do most of what I do on my own. I never have someone looking out for | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
me. Every now and then I can do a trick with a helper. This is my | :42:38. | :42:42. | |
assistant. He is doing the trick. It is important that he does not see or | :42:43. | :42:47. | |
hear anything. Put your hand on top of that. A massive game against | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
Brighton. Think two things: What is the score and who will score the | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
first goal? Amy, help me out. We need a card to write the information | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
down on. Say stop anywhere. Stop. | :43:02. | :43:04. | |
Brilliant, do you have a score in your head. Write down the first | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
score and scorer. Now we lose the cards. I will not do anything. You | :43:10. | :43:14. | |
are happy he cannot see the card. Take out the stick man. I need you | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
to roll him up into a football. Place the cards in the pack. When | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
you are done hold him nice and tight. Check out that bad boy! We | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
are putting our magician, our assistant inside the little canon. | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
Can I brow him for a second? We are stuffing him inside the canon. Then | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
I'm hoping he's going to find our card. We will need encouragement, | :43:39. | :43:49. | |
guys, he is a bit shy. Can I have an "oh... "? Stop. That is rubbish. Do | :43:50. | :43:58. | |
it again. Our little stick man as burnt himself through the card. You | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
can see clearly there is a stick-man shaped hole through all of the | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
cards. Until we get down to one... Dude, what was the score you thought | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
it would be? 1-0. Who did you say that the first | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
scorer would be? Nathan. There is one card with a stake man | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
on it. All of the rest. Absolutely nothing. Show the camera. | :44:23. | :44:30. | |
Can I have a round of applause! I need some explanation of that trick. | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
I have to watch it again. It is baffling me! Here we are in the | :44:35. | :44:43. | |
Lincoln dressing room with Matt Reid taking on the Brighton might. Is it | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
is day when you feel nervy, or the fact you have taken on Ipswich and | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
beaten a championship side. Does it make you feel comfortable? Yeah, | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
definitely but we are playing against a very good team. We have to | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
match and do better than before. I'm sure that the managers say take | :45:05. | :45:09. | |
it as it comes but it is not a normal game, nor a normal build-up. | :45:10. | :45:16. | |
The fans have been outside from 4. .35am, there is a huge expectation | :45:17. | :45:22. | |
on you and the team? Yeah, definitely, the underdog is a title | :45:23. | :45:25. | |
to embrace. Hopefully we'll get a result. | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
Do you or has the manager approached the game the same as the Ipswich | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
game or changed it because it is Brighton? We have done the stuff we | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
have to do about Brighton. Watched the videos on them. That has not | :45:40. | :45:45. | |
been different for us, that is good. It's a tough ask but we'll give it | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
our best shot. The style of football you play, what are you looking for | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
from your team-mates? Who will give you the opportunity? The wingers. | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
The set pieces are a massive opportunity for us. We have scored a | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
few from the set pieces. But from the goals in the teams we are one of | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
the top scorers in the league. Just cross it for him! What has the | :46:09. | :46:15. | |
influence of the Cowley brothers been? I know they are detailed. They | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
have spent a long time preparing you with video analysis. What difference | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
have they made to the club? There was a time you were thinking of | :46:26. | :46:28. | |
leaving? Definitely. I spoke to them from day one. They've been | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
unbelievable. They want to do well. This give every opportunity they can | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
to be successful. That is great. We have a good opportunity this year. | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
They won't leave a stone unturned to bring success to the team. | :46:44. | :46:50. | |
I know quite a few of your playing partners are watching and probably | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
waiting for you to make a slip-up but do you think the players have a | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
belief that today could be one of those days? Is there some | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
confidence, inner feeling, that you can do it? There are signs all over | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
the dressing room on the club. You a player who at those things? Not | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
really. Phase of his big belief in the previous game and as it stands, | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
we got nothing to fear today. We're playing against a championship team | :47:19. | :47:25. | |
and we will have a bit more opportunity. On BBC Radio | :47:26. | :47:28. | |
Lincolnshire at the end of the game, the commentator said, "If there is a | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
baby being born in Lincoln tonight, they need to be called after Nathan | :47:32. | :47:37. | |
Arnold who scored the goal". There was a baby that night but they | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
didn't name in Nathan, they called it Bradley! I didn't know that the | :47:41. | :47:48. | |
wave of his forgot the name wrong. Obviously, Bradley had a good game. | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
Have a good game. Enjoy the experience and we will see what | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
happens come 5pm. After splashing Bournemouth in league | :47:56. | :48:10. | |
three, -- Millwall face more Premier league opposition in the shape of | :48:11. | :48:17. | |
Watford. Ivan Gaskell has been to see Millwall's record goal-scorer | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
turned manager Neil Harris. What does it mean to me? Ambition. What | :48:21. | :48:27. | |
does the FA Cup mean to me? Dreams, Wembley. When I think of Millwall | :48:28. | :48:33. | |
and the FA Cup, my mind drifts back to 2004 and the Millennium Stadium. | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
It was my dream to play in the cup final. It means everything to me | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
having achieved that and I've been able to pass it onto my players and | :48:44. | :48:46. | |
I say to my players before each round, it may be the first round, it | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
may be the third round, Division 1, Division 2, Conference team... To | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
get to the fifth round of the cup is a phenomenal achievement and for a | :48:56. | :48:59. | |
championship club to get to a final is awesome. It was in the FA Cup | :49:00. | :49:05. | |
where you broke the club's all-time scoring record it up it was a | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
special achievement. To surpass someone of his stature was huge. | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
Something I had been chasing for a period of time, the individual | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
achievement, being the record goal-scorer at a club, is huge. | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
Stevie Morrison started talking about chasing my record. There was a | :49:28. | :49:35. | |
simple answer, just don't pick him. I think if he got to 120, I might | :49:36. | :49:41. | |
have to start leaving him out! The quarterfinal draw away... Thank you | :49:42. | :49:49. | |
very much. So you go from player to manager. What are the challenges of | :49:50. | :49:54. | |
making the transition? For instance, you've got several players who are | :49:55. | :49:57. | |
now managing who you used to play alongside. How is that? Fortunately, | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
we are talking about really good pros. Really good senior players. | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
Good friends of mine when I played, top professionals, so it makes the | :50:09. | :50:10. | |
relationship and managing them very easy. It is not a problem to manage | :50:11. | :50:19. | |
because they are good players. I do recall being really shocked one day | :50:20. | :50:22. | |
when I woke up and read that you were suffering from cancer. | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
Fortunately, I was young and naive. I was 23 when I was diagnosed and | :50:28. | :50:33. | |
maybe a lack of knowledge helped me at the time. The downside was that I | :50:34. | :50:36. | |
was young in my career and playing really well and sitting back and | :50:37. | :50:41. | |
looking now, you can be as honest as you like now you've retired, | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
probably not quite hitting the levels I did precancer. But I dealt | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
with it like everything else. You tackle it head on. There were so | :50:52. | :50:57. | |
many good times afterwards. Back in the training pitch, the training | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
ground... Scoring your first goal... Things like that are real | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
highlights. Funnily enough, that first goal when you came back was | :51:08. | :51:14. | |
against Watford. Yeah. Bizarre, probably that it just happened to be | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
Watford. That was a big moment at the time. 2002 was a big moment. It | :51:19. | :51:29. | |
completely separate from Sunday's game. It is a tough game for us. | :51:30. | :51:40. | |
Hopefully we can get a result of the weekend. We have moved outside to | :51:41. | :51:46. | |
the directors' box. Neil Harris is a Manu played with and know very well | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
and the good news this week the Millwall is that the future of the | :51:51. | :51:53. | |
ground is secure. When you played with Neil, did you feel he had that | :51:54. | :51:59. | |
management touch? He was a nuisance! He was a centre forward that was a | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
nuisance, had to win everything, always wanted to be on the winning | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
side. Had to quit plaintively scored. So we have that mentality. | :52:08. | :52:13. | |
-- had to keep playing until he scored. He always had that | :52:14. | :52:20. | |
managerial, what's the word, streak in him. If you are doing it in | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
training, when it comes to games later on in life... It's a skill | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
set, it is what you can take from your football career and apply it to | :52:29. | :52:31. | |
your management career, so the experiences he's had, his natural | :52:32. | :52:34. | |
personality and putting that together. You are right about the | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
ground, that is a massive bit of news. It is not over in the sense | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
that they have withdrawn the application but it gives them a | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
reprieve and it shows the spirit of the supporters and everybody to get | :52:46. | :52:52. | |
behind that. It could be a tricky afternoon for Watford. Another | :52:53. | :52:55. | |
Premier league side who may be in for not the best weekend. | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
Psychologically, when I played FA Cup games, I was playing for a | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
Premier league club at the time, it was hard to motivate yourself | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
sometimes because everything about the game itself is set up for you to | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
fail as the favourite, even down to the referee. Tackle comes in and | :53:12. | :53:17. | |
he's more likely to give the opponent from the lower division the | :53:18. | :53:19. | |
benefit of the doubt of everything up settles -- unsettles you. You | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
have to be spot on as an individual and as a team. Are you able to share | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
any memories of your time at Millwall? On live television, no! | :53:31. | :53:38. | |
Not a single-storey? There are lots of times in the dressing rooms when | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
it has got physical. They wanted to... Sean Dyche was in the dressing | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
room and Tim Cahill and Paul Ifield, we had some really good players and | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
then you had little cop Chopper in your ear because he wanted to win | :53:56. | :54:00. | |
all the time. He knows what the fans demand and he's just trying to give | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
them it. You can see Millwall taking on Watford on BBC One tomorrow at | :54:05. | :54:12. | |
11:50am. That is followed by Manchester United versus Wigan. | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
Highlights of all of Sunday's games on much of the day and the fifth | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
round draw will be live on The One Show from 7p on Monday night. To | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
give you an idea of the geography, this is the wonderful Lincoln | :54:27. | :54:29. | |
Cathedral. You get pretty clear view of it from the directors' box, which | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
is where the man who has joined us will be sitting this afternoon, Paul | :54:35. | :54:38. | |
Barber, the chief executive from Brighton. We've talked a lot about | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
Lincoln understandably but from a bite in perspective, top of the | :54:42. | :54:44. | |
championship. Is this the thought of game you don't want? Not really at | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
this stage but Lincoln have been going really well, having a great | :54:49. | :54:51. | |
season, and we are enjoying a great season and it should be a cup tie. | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
Are their concerns from a player's point of view? Chris Hughton were | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
saying there may be some changes made but at this stage of the | :55:01. | :55:03. | |
season, it is about giving that momentum going? We don't want to | :55:04. | :55:08. | |
lose any games. We also want to give our squad and opportunity to play. A | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
few lads haven't had as much football as they would have liked so | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
they will see some football today. Keeping the momentum going, the | :55:17. | :55:19. | |
confidence up, looking forward to another big game on Thursday at | :55:20. | :55:22. | |
Huddersfield and get through this one and we've got a fifth round to | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
look forward to so we'll see to it getting through is a good way of | :55:27. | :55:35. | |
putting it. We were talking about Knockaert a few weeks ago and you | :55:36. | :55:39. | |
are all set out. You are a Premier league side playing the championship | :55:40. | :55:42. | |
and your fans feel this could be the season. I was just talking about | :55:43. | :55:49. | |
this with some guys and we don't get anything for being first in January. | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
We have tried to instil this in the club and we know we have still got a | :55:54. | :55:56. | |
lot of work to do in the second half of the season. There are a lot of | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
good teams in the second of the championship. We want to get there | :56:01. | :56:04. | |
but there no guarantees. You got that setup, structure and the | :56:05. | :56:07. | |
manager behind the team. Do you feel you need anything else to click on? | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
I think we just want to try and keep everyone fit, try and avoid | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
suspensions, red cards and bookings. And in the championship, you need a | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
bit of luck and I think last year we lacked a bit of luck at key times. | :56:21. | :56:25. | |
But we want to try and you going. We are a humble club but we've got very | :56:26. | :56:28. | |
modest beginnings and we've been through a lot over the years so if | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
we were able to it, it would be good. How have you got to where you | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
are today? I played up the old stadium and I look brighter now and | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
you've come 1 million miles. So professional, the stadium is | :56:43. | :56:44. | |
amazing, the team are doing so well. I think you've got a fantastic | :56:45. | :56:48. | |
manager. How have you achieved in such a short space of time? We are | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
lucky, our chairman has invested a huge amount of money in the club, in | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
infrastructure, the stadium, the training ground. He's also got out | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
of his way to hire the best possible people at all levels and Chris | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
Hughton has done a fabulous job since he came into the football club | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
and we're very lucky to have him. We wish you all the best. Thanks for | :57:08. | :57:14. | |
talking to us. It is currently Liverpool 0-1 Wolves at Anfield. You | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
can follow the game across the BBC. This is how warm welcome we've had | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
from Lincoln. After the game, we've been invited to someone's house for | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
pie and chips. I will see you there! A warning, Dion Dublin has got a big | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
appetite! Predictions on the BBC website from Radio 1's Adele Roberts | :57:35. | :57:42. | |
and 1Xtra's A.Dot are on the BBC Sport website. Highlights of the | :57:43. | :57:45. | |
Aussie open women's final between the Williams sisters is on BBC One | :57:46. | :57:49. | |
in 15 minutes. Owen said hello so he is going to say goodbye. So straight | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
down that camera. Over to you, I went from Lincoln. Just a peer. So, | :57:54. | :58:01. | |
over to you! What is coming up later? I mentioned it to you | :58:02. | :58:08. | |
earlier. Oh, the magic of the cup! There you go. We will leave you with | :58:09. | :58:13. | |
something you loosened up for a brilliant weekend. Owen, you are a | :58:14. | :58:17. | |
star. See you all again! Bye-bye for now. | :58:18. | :58:26. | |
That is an absolute present. What a fantastic track from Aaron Ramsey. | :58:27. | :58:51. |
