This week we're here in lovely Leicester with some | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
very special guests - Serge Pizzorno and Tom Meigham | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
from local heroes Kasabian and our very own chart-topper, | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
Coming up on tonight's show, as we're in town we've sent | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Steve Bower to talk to Leicester's number one - Kasper Schmeichel - | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
about the champions' difficult second season. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Liverpool lad Louis Berry meets the voice of Anfield, George Sephton. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
And author James Brown waxes lyrical about his love of five-a-side. | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
Here is what has been happening in the Premier League over the past | :01:12. | :01:25. | |
seven days. It is a red card for marrow and Fellini. What went on in | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
his head? What a good goal for Vardy. Three points for Leicester | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
City virtually ensures them of Premier League football next season. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
After ten successive seasons in the Premier League Sunderland's fate is | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
sealed. I feel for the supporters. Who come to watch regularly. | :01:50. | :02:07. | |
Swansea, whose superb goal! Maybe I can bring Nicky but with the other | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
23. You're punished because you are doing well. Fantastic goal. Who can | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
stop Antonio Conte and Chelsea? It is in. Dele Alli has turned it in. | :02:23. | :02:37. | |
Tottenham two, Arsenal zero. Adam Lallana give that back. Lucas. | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
Fabulous goal! Spectacular acrobatics. Lucas floated across and | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
towards him. He saw it coming a mile off. Liverpool take a massive bed | :02:56. | :03:12. | |
towards the Champions League next season Pochettino said it was almost | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
the perfect performance. Chelsea are not letting up. That is going to the | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
manager, his enthusiasm. The quality of player as reared its head. | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
Defence is good. They have added to it and nicked one of their players | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
and added to that quality which has been a huge part of the difference. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
Do you have a preference as to which two of these would win the title. Do | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
you feel a soft spot for Chelsea? If I see Eden Hazard I would give him a | :03:53. | :04:02. | |
big test. When Chelsea finished eighth last year without Kante, and | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
this year we are probably going to finish eight or nine without Kante. | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
He is that important because he does what food you -- football people | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
know as the ugly job. He will do all the work that flair players do not | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
want to do. The other big talking point was the overhead kick, some | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
people saying it should be goal of the season. It is goal of the | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
season. Yes, the angle he has taken it at, top corner. It is all right. | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
Overhead kicks are ten a penny. You have scored a few. Two. That is it. | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
It is from behind him. It is not from a cross. Great connection, | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
great timing. Against Grimsby. So the cake. I am not sure we can dig | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
down that far in the archives. Jamie Vardy's goal against West Brom | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
at the weekend took Leicester City over the magical 40 point mark, | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
capping a remarkable turnaround for the Foxes | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
under Craig Shakespeare. It's been a tumultuous season | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
for the Foxes following last season's title win and Steve Bower | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
has been to see Kasper Schmeichel. Eden Hazard! Leicester City are | :05:31. | :05:47. | |
champions. For the champions Leicester the opening day is full of | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
optimism. The first reigning champions to lose their first game | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
since 1989. Liverpool four, Leicester one. Jermain Defoe, 2-1. | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
The support of the club, the fans, everybody. Claudio Ranieri has been | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
sacked. Many thought he would be given a full season. The board feels | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
that a change of leadership business is silly in the club's greater | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
interest. The assistant has spent up to take charge of the team, | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Shakespeare. Lovely goal. Brilliant from Leicester City. You have to say | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Leicester City looked like a completely different team. Vardy! | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
Three points for Leicester City virtually ensures them of Premier | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
League football next season. Strangely enough, as we City, a year | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
to the day since you won the Premier League title, can you believe is a | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
year? No. It has gone so quick, so much has happened. Disappointed not | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
to be feeling that come you want that feeling back. It will be tough | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
to watch someone else do that then. Is it something that you took in at | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
the time of visit when you look back at the seams and you appreciate the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
magnitude of what happened? It went so quick. It is an addictive | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
feeling. Nothing can replicate the sense of euphoria, the overwhelming | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
feelings that flood in when the moment comes, and it is something | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
you want to experience again. I had probably three weeks of celebrating | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
and enjoying it and after that it is, OK, I had a talk with my dad | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
about what it was like and he said there will be a period of | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
celebration and there will be a void when you are past celebrating and | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
you are thinking about the new season and then your head switches | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
to the new season and all that is gone. I think it is one of those | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
when you look back and maybe ten years and the lads get together and | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
you think, that was quite incredible what we achieved. When you look back | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
at the season how do you feel about it? It has been tough, a tough | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
season, we have struggled. We are not quite safe mathematically. We | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
took a big step on Saturday. Next Saturday we are going to need to | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
take another big step towards that. You have to look at the Champions | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
League campaign. We have done ourselves proud the two Seville | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
games were amazing experiences, those Champions League nights are | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
special. The Premier League is amazing, there is something about | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
the night games and going away from home, different cities, different | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
types of football, hearing the music, something that makes it | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
unique. Realistically where did you expect the team to be in the league? | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
It was all was going to be tough. At the start of the season the top | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
eight, you would have taken that without question. Eight is still a | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
realistic possibility for us with the games remaining. That has to be | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
our target. How tough for the first four or five months when things were | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
not going your way? It is very important not to get too high or too | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
low in football. You have to roll with the punches and look at | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
yourself and see if you are doing everything you can to help the team | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
to get the results we need, and that was the period of reflection when I | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
was looking at my performances to make sure I was doing everything I | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
could to help the team. Good chip over by Schmeichel. During that | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
period, the man who takes the brunt of the criticism is the manager. How | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
did you feel that the man who had led you to the Premier League was | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
getting all the criticism? It is always tough to see. We felt it all | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
the way through the club. We had set the standard and we were not living | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
up to it. We were not playing well as players. The manager takes the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
brunt and that is unfortunate because you cannot get rid of a full | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
squad of players, and sometimes that is the life of a manager which is | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
very harsh sometimes. What was the overriding emotion for you | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
personally when Claudio Ranieri lost his job? You do not want to see | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
anybody lose his job. I was upset. I was not quite embarrassed but we | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
were champions of England and we were not getting to the level we | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
knew we could be because they had set the standard. It was a horrible | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
situation. The players were accused of all sorts of things. Was the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
feeling you had to set the record straight? We know the truth and the | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
club. We do not have to read papers. You read story sometimes during the | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
season and you think, where has that come from and you know it is the | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
complete opposite. There was anger and frustration in the sense that we | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
had not performed on the pitch and that had led to their son that was | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
tough to take and we had to write it. We have gone a long way to doing | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
that. We have not quite done yet. Can players get the manager out of | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
the football club? Is that possible in the modern day? I have never | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
heard of it. I would not be able to see. These guys that run football | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
clubs are very successful businessman away from football, used | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
in making very tough decisions. Our owner is no different, he is used to | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
success in his life. He knew the decision would make him unpopular | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
but that is what he did. We as players have to respect that and get | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
on with it. We bear our share of the blame for performances on the pitch | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
but we would not be able to influence a guy like that. How much | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
credit for Shakespeare to suddenly go and settle what was choppy | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
waters? Craig has been here for a long time. He knows his ideas of | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
what he thought needed to be done. He has not really changed, it has | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
been about trying to get the spirits up and trying to get everyone firing | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
again. Leicester City have their first goal in 2017 and the Premier | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
League. It has mostly been about spirit, it has not been about | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
tactics. We know where we are on it and pressing and fluid and dynamic | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
we are going to be tough to play against regardless of who we play | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
in. It was the question of him saying, do it, if we feel we feel | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
but let us feel trying. If we are going to go down and we are going to | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
go down all guns blazing. It has turned for us, expected a acts in a | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
row. Leicester within seven minutes are two clear already. You have been | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
here a long time. Value going back to the days of Falkirk, are you | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
where you want to be? Yes. Walking out at Atletico Madrid in the | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Champions League quarterfinal remembering back in the days of | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
playing in League Two and the Scottish Premier League back then | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
you realise that is the pinnacle of world football and you are there and | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
you have earned the right to be there by beating some very good | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
teams. Schmeichel managed to scoop it up. What a save by Schmeichel. | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
What has the journey been like? Or that any other goalkeepers other | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
than Europe other you have tried to learn from? I am obsessed with | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
goalkeeping. Watching my dad back in the day, I have studied him down to | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
the minutest detail. I have done the same with other keepers. I regularly | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
spend two hours a day watching different goalkeepers, different | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
things, watching training, to try to see if there is anything I can | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
improve. Who have played in the Champions | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
League, is there any burning desire to do that again? More than ever. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
And of course we can, not this season but that is something I hoped | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
would come earlier in my career but the journey I have taken has made me | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
appreciate it much more but has made me want it even more. Dion predicted | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
Lester would be fine a few months ago, when a lot of people were not | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
sure, so is a great belief in the Kasabian has sold? It has been a | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
strange season, what a strange season. Fighting relegation whilst | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
in the quarterfinals of the Champions League? That was bizarre, | :15:06. | :15:13. | |
surreal. And losing the manager, the fairy tale came to an end and it was | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
getting your head around that and then thinking, it could be playing | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
Yeovil next season! Was a bit iffy, where the romance and pragmatism | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
were fighting each other? You would have great love for Claudio Ranieri? | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
You were part of that celebration last year? I hope they are wrecked a | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
statue. A golden statue outside the stadium! After the season we have | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
had, and we did win the Premier League... It won't happen again, it | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
just won't, and he did that but looking at that from the stands, the | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
belief in the man was not there and when they changed, five games on the | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
spin. As fans and musicians, you are so linked to the club, you were | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
there as part of the concert, the celebrations, what was that like? | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
Amazing, when in the Premier League and doing that stadium, you had to | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
do it there and then. We were booked to play it this year but then it | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
was, like, we cannot. It would have felt weird after the Lord Mayor 's | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
show! If you were not Kasabian, if things did not happen for you as a | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
band, you would have still been there? Without doubt. That is | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
incredible to know! Watching Dion Dublin's band! Speaking of the | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
hives, you have an album out this week which you have said has a | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
positivity in it, does that come from that season? Were you writing | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
it then? Yes, for a few months, everyone was alive. I went down | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
after the Chelsea Spurs game and I went down to the ground, I felt like | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
I needed to... 1238, I thought there would be some people there and there | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
were about 15,000 people. This is amazing. Even when I came back on | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
the odd occasion to see my family, every street, the flags, everybody | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
was together, it was like one. With be be a Song that we can pinpoint, | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
that was written the day that Leicester won the title? There is no | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
football Song, really, but when you do a nice little montage, as I am | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
sure you do on this show... You will use it! Comeback kid! Bringing it | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
back to football, Craig Shakespeare, do you see him being in this for the | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
long haul? He has to be the man to get a contract, he has to be the one | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
that has taken them back. What he has done on the football side is he | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
has stripped things back, get back to running a lot, working hard, for | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
the fans, and a sprinkling of quality. Nothing special, just back | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
to working hard. And that is what they did and they won the league. He | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
has been amazing. Why mess things up? Shakespeare, for me. I would | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
agree, there are shouts for a baby names, but that could be a big | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
mistake because the results have been incredible and hopefully we can | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
keep Schmeichel and Mahrez. We will see. OK. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
George Sephton has been house DJ at Liverpool for nearly half | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
a century and has been instrumental in debuting a number | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
We sent up-and-coming Scouser Louis Berry to Anfield | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
to try and play his way on to the list. | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
Most musicians dream of playing at Glastonbury but there is only one | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
better Place as a football fan, I am a Liverpool fan and that place is | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
Anfield. I have heard a rumour that they | :19:37. | :19:49. | |
might start playing might lead to strike on matchday so I have come | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
here to meet the voice of Anfield to find out what is going on. The | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
longest serving stadium announcer in the country, George Sephton has | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
provided commentary at Liverpool for 45 years. That is some view. | :20:03. | :20:13. | |
Fantastic. I started with Bill Shankly and I lasted about 15 | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
managers. Digging tracks from 46 years? Some of those musicians, busy | :20:19. | :20:31. | |
times, the coral, big, local bands. How important is the music on | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
matchday? The derby matches, I like to pick big tub thumping rock. You | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
will never walk alone? To this day the hairs stand up on my neck. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Everybody is on their feet, singing. Amazing. # You'll never walk | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
alone... What are the chances of getting my latest track on the | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
playlist? Deaths have a listen. -- let us have. # To get overly... # | :21:08. | :21:26. | |
It's all right... # I'm only trying to figure out... # To get over you. | :21:27. | :21:43. | |
# She says he needs me... On the counterattack with six minutes gone! | :21:44. | :22:00. | |
That will be on the playlist. My track will be on the playlist, I | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
will be listening out at the next match. # La-la-la-la! Music and | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
football, there isn't a band in the world that is so synonymous with | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
football as Kasabian? They love it, they participate and watch it, | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
proper advance. I have heard that Serge is a bit of a player as well. | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
Tom is working on it. You cannot write a Song thinking this will | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
sound good in a football stadium? You probably can't! We have done | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
that a few times! When you started out, did you think that? Definitely. | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
If you can see yourself standing in front of the speakers, with your | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
arms like that... You get the sense of that, you can feel it. When at | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
ground and you hear hear one of her songs being sung in the stands, what | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
does that feel like? I join in, a singalong. It makes all of my hair | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
stand up, goose pimples. I love that feeling, and the fans are next to | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
you. Especially when we keep scoring, like last year. It is a | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
great feeling. It is weird, Dillon said, songs dress up in their own | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
clothes and start to walk around on their own and it is true, you cannot | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
stop them. What did you like to listen to in the dressing room? My | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
taste has always been at odds with my team-mates, I have always been a | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
jazzman. Avant-garde jazz! All over the place! All the land liked R I | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
kept my music away from the players. Did they play it? They didn't | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
understand it! The result was music in there. And the music the boys | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
play is very much to get you ready for a game. OK... | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
The FA estimate that over 1.5 million adults a week play | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
Author and journalist James Brown loves it so much | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
But what lies at the heart of astroturf dreams? | :24:16. | :24:28. | |
As a Premier League reaches its climax, there is another footballing | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
world scoring goal after goal regardless of whether the | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
professionals are on holiday. Every week in Britain, over a million | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
people run onto AstroTurf pitches and hard wooden gym floors. Keen to | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
score goals that in our minds are easily as good as those of our | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
heroes. It is a world of fake grass pitches, bad gets... And funny team | :24:57. | :25:09. | |
names. Benteke fried chicken! 24-hour Vardy people! Our shirts are | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
tied around our bellies, our fitness is nonexistent. The warm up is | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
something we saw on television 15 years ago. We had out of work early | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
to get to the games, stealing the odd hour he ran there, wet winter | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
nights, any time we play. That rare time and place when we get to see | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
our friends, even if that is what we know what the other players' names | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
are. We will beat them. I have been playing for 17 years and I only know | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
what two of them do for a living. Non-players don't understand, they | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
only see the time spent and the physical toll. I have a groin | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
strain. Maybe they can't tolerate the dirty kit left in the bag all | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
week in the hall but it is greater than kicking the ball around. I | :26:06. | :26:14. | |
didn't even save it! Moments of genius are analysed in the pub | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
afterwards, not in the studio. For me it's the most consistent thing in | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
my life, unlike some of the teams body mac sucks. It has outlasted | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
marriages, relationships, jobs. Five-a-side players by the true | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
footballers. They are about the same physical standard! Many of us dream | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
is being professionals but unlike professionals, we don't stop when | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
the payment or the fitness stops, we play for love, life and we play | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
everywhere. Five-a-side is football karaoke, we either true footballers, | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
we get to play football forever. That fellow got it in the Notts! | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Rumour has it that Kasabian have quite a tasty five-a-side team? I | :27:01. | :27:10. | |
don't play! We have seen some of your goals online! There was a | :27:11. | :27:21. | |
sucker sex teen that we played twice in and we won both times. The first | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
time, you played... It was an international thing. -- six a side | :27:27. | :27:42. | |
thing. We had Tony Cocker. That was a bad envelope! Bands do hear about | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
these competitions and when Kasabian are in there, a lot of them avoid | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
Kasabian! That is not just Lester Bias? Ever played any of these | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
bands? Not yet but there is plenty of time. We can get it sorted! | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
Before we go, let's take a look at this weekend's fixtures | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
and we begin with what could prove to be a pivotal game in the title | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
race on Friday night as Spurs travel across London to take on West Ham. | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
There are six games on Saturday where issues at the bottom | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
of the table could be resolved with Crystal Palace, Burnley, | :28:18. | :28:19. | |
Sunday is all about European qualification as Liverpool entertain | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
Southampton and Manchester United travel to Arsenal. | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
And Chelsea leave us waiting until Monday to see if they can move | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
a step closer to the title by beating Middlesbrough. | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
Thanks very much to Serge and Tom, and good luck with the new album. | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
Please come back next season. And take Dion onto! | :28:36. | :28:45. | |
Don't forget, if you ever miss a show, you can catch | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
Please join us next week when we'll cast our eyes over the Premier | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
You're looking at a room of double glazing salesman. | :28:53. | :29:05. |
