:00:39. > :00:42.This week we're in South Wales to visit Swansea City,
:00:43. > :00:44.currently enjoying a resurgence under new boss Paul Clement
:00:45. > :00:47.after a turbulent start to the season.
:00:48. > :00:49.Coming up, we'll be behind the scenes with the Swans,
:00:50. > :00:51.as they face a daunting trip to Clement's former club,
:00:52. > :00:56.Also, comedian and jazz enthusiast Charlie Baker
:00:57. > :01:06.puts a smooth spin on some terrace favourites.
:01:07. > :01:14.But first, Swansea aren't the only ones experiencing an upturn
:01:15. > :01:17.Many predicted Jose Mourinho's arrival at Manchester United
:01:18. > :01:20.would see the curtain come down on Juan Mata's time at Old Trafford,
:01:21. > :01:22.but the Spaniard has been an integral part
:01:23. > :01:38.Gary Lineker travelled north to meet him.
:01:39. > :01:49.Buenas tardes! All footballers are the same, always in galleries and
:01:50. > :01:55.places like this(!) Mata for Manchester United... I love to be in
:01:56. > :01:59.England, I love English football, and I love, since I came to
:02:00. > :02:04.Manchester, the way they treat me. When you arrive to Old Trafford,
:02:05. > :02:11.where a lot of great games, great players, have played there, when you
:02:12. > :02:15.see Alex Ferguson's stand, Sir Bobby Charlton's stand, you know you are
:02:16. > :02:19.in one of the places for football in the history of football. So I
:02:20. > :02:22.imagined myself winning the Premier League or the Champions League with
:02:23. > :02:28.this club, and it would be incredible. Hopefully, we can bring
:02:29. > :02:33.the club back. Are the signs there, do you feel? Do you think Jose is
:02:34. > :02:37.getting it right? Well, I think he understands what this club means,
:02:38. > :02:42.and that is very important, to come here and understand the history of
:02:43. > :02:45.the club, more or less the philosophy and the style of football
:02:46. > :02:52.that the fans and this club is used to.
:02:53. > :03:02.Have you always been interested in art? Yes and no. I am interested in
:03:03. > :03:08.different things, not just that, something that is not just football.
:03:09. > :03:13.I find it good, to refresh, reset. When you came to English football,
:03:14. > :03:16.was that a gamble, did you think? Because Spanish football is very
:03:17. > :03:21.different to English football. It was a little bit of a gamble,
:03:22. > :03:27.because, obviously, when you come doing this gospel, people say you
:03:28. > :03:31.need to be physically strong,, it is very physical, which is true. --
:03:32. > :03:37.when you come to English football. Were you worried that it might not
:03:38. > :03:41.suit your style of football? No, I always believed, as long as you can
:03:42. > :03:47.play good football, you can play good football anywhere. Mata scores
:03:48. > :03:49.are on his debut! Your Chelsea career, different cultures, then
:03:50. > :03:59.Jose Mourinho comes in, of course, and after a while, it didn't work
:04:00. > :04:02.out, why is that? Sometimes in life, and in football as well, change
:04:03. > :04:05.comes, and you have to embrace it. When Jose came, I was not playing a
:04:06. > :04:09.lot, I had a chance to go to another big club, and it was a good offer
:04:10. > :04:17.for Chelsea as well. Did you fall out with him at all? No. I can't
:04:18. > :04:21.imagine you falling out with anyone. Well, I can! But no, I think it was
:04:22. > :04:26.football, the style or something like this. But we never had any
:04:27. > :04:32.personal problem or anything like this. We are working together now,
:04:33. > :04:35.it is fine. So what about whatever you are doing that particular day
:04:36. > :04:43.when Jose is announced as the new manager of Manchester United, your
:04:44. > :04:47.initial thoughts? I was on holiday, and it was like, OK, let's embrace
:04:48. > :04:53.it, let's go for it, train as I always train, well, things are going
:04:54. > :04:59.good, I am enjoying my football, playing a lot, the team is doing
:05:00. > :05:04.well. We could do better at times. It seems to be getting better. Going
:05:05. > :05:08.in the right direction, and at that moment too many people were speaking
:05:09. > :05:12.about these things, but I just had to speak on the pitch, and that is
:05:13. > :05:18.what I feel comfortable doing, speaking through my football. So
:05:19. > :05:23.what kind of art do you like? I like modern art, I like pop art as well.
:05:24. > :05:27.You know, I admire creative people, in every sense of the word. You are
:05:28. > :05:35.creative yourself on the field. I try! I try. Mata went for the
:05:36. > :05:42.spectacular, what a goal from Juan Mata! That is stunning! Manchester
:05:43. > :05:54.United made some big signings this summer, how do you think they are
:05:55. > :05:58.doing? What is Ibra like, a real character? A real character and a
:05:59. > :06:02.great player, without a doubt. And obviously he is a strong character,
:06:03. > :06:05.he has got a strong personality, but he is funny as well. In the dressing
:06:06. > :06:12.room, he speaks with the young players, jokes, banter here and
:06:13. > :06:17.there. He has this humour that is needed, because if not football is
:06:18. > :06:21.too serious. It must be difficult for Paul Pogba, the expectation of
:06:22. > :06:27.being the world's most expensive player, it can't be easy. I imagine
:06:28. > :06:32.it is not easy, the expectations are so high. Sometimes people lose
:06:33. > :06:37.perception of the reality, we are not machines. It is not that they
:06:38. > :06:44.pay the money for you and you have to score every single game. Messi
:06:45. > :06:48.and Cristiano Ronaldo, they are two. They are humans, train the best you
:06:49. > :06:52.can, play the best you can, try to be a good professional, and the rest
:06:53. > :06:57.will come. What is the thing that needs to change to take you to the
:06:58. > :07:00.upper echelons? We need to be more consistent, in terms of results, and
:07:01. > :07:09.we need to finish our chances better, especially in the three or
:07:10. > :07:13.four home games that we have to win. So we need to finish that, and
:07:14. > :07:16.because I think that is why said we are in the right direction, because
:07:17. > :07:21.we are playing good, creating chances, and we need to finish them.
:07:22. > :07:27.If we win these three or four games, we will be up there, and it will be
:07:28. > :07:31.a different story. You are not the quintessential footballer, are you?
:07:32. > :07:36.You are a bit different, you have got a degree. I am trying to finish
:07:37. > :07:43.it, yeah, I still have two or three things to finish, but my aim is to
:07:44. > :07:48.finish it, I don't know when! Do you think Spanish players are more
:07:49. > :07:52.intelligent than English players? Genuine question, they always seem
:07:53. > :07:57.to be very articulate, Spanish players, they learn other languages.
:07:58. > :08:03.No, I don't believe that is a rule, because I have known so many English
:08:04. > :08:06.players, and my point of view they understand the game, because for me,
:08:07. > :08:11.it is very important to understand the game. It is not just about how
:08:12. > :08:15.strong you are, how many goals you score. I don't think it is a matter
:08:16. > :08:21.of where you are from, it is a matter of how you can teach yourself
:08:22. > :08:26.in the most effective way to try to play. I will ask it another way -
:08:27. > :08:32.Spanish players more disciplined in terms of their life? Their
:08:33. > :08:36.professionalism? Well, I think one of the biggest qualities for Spanish
:08:37. > :08:42.footballers, for me, is that we are very competitive, you know? And I
:08:43. > :08:45.think they take advantage of that when we go to a different country,
:08:46. > :08:50.like England, and try to play the way we play, but learning from the
:08:51. > :08:59.things that, you know, you can learn in English football. You are very
:09:00. > :09:04.popular, not just with Manchester United fans, not just with Chelsea
:09:05. > :09:10.fans, but universally - you don't get abuse or anything. Sometimes,
:09:11. > :09:16.but that is how it is. I don't think about being liked or not. I just try
:09:17. > :09:19.to be normal. I am a football player, but a human being first. I
:09:20. > :09:25.feel very lucky, because I live my live that almost anyone could dream
:09:26. > :09:32.for, which is, you like football, you play for the ball. There are a
:09:33. > :09:37.lot of benefits, a special lifestyle, but what is the downside?
:09:38. > :09:42.Well, there is a difficult side, which is when you think about the
:09:43. > :09:48.responsibility that you have, or when you think about the pressure
:09:49. > :09:52.that you play in front of millions of people, you know, that is not
:09:53. > :09:58.easy to handle sometimes. So you need to get ready to perform, and
:09:59. > :10:02.you need to perform and perform and perform, because if you don't, you
:10:03. > :10:06.don't get to play in your club, so mentally it is not as easy as it
:10:07. > :10:09.looks. And other than that, yeah, I could say that I cannot go with my
:10:10. > :10:14.friends sometimes in the weekends, when they go out, because you are 20
:10:15. > :10:20.something, you want to go out. You can do that when you finish, I
:10:21. > :10:22.waited until I was very old! I wouldn't complain about anything,
:10:23. > :10:32.because I am doing what I love to do. So this is a present for you.
:10:33. > :10:39.Very kind! Let's see if you like it. You might have to use it.
:10:40. > :10:53.Hang on a minute! That is next season when Leicester win the
:10:54. > :10:56.league! There you go! What about after football? Do you think you
:10:57. > :11:03.would go into coaching? I would love to present Match Of The Day! Oh, I
:11:04. > :11:07.am in trouble! I will be about done by then, by the time you have
:11:08. > :11:14.finished playing! You are welcome to the chair. Thank you for that! What
:11:15. > :11:19.would you consider success for you at Manchester United? Obviously, I
:11:20. > :11:24.would love to win the Premier League with Man United, but to be able to
:11:25. > :11:31.say that I have played with such a club, with the likes of George Best,
:11:32. > :11:47.Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes, all these players played.
:11:48. > :11:52.Well, thanks for giving me the tour and all your expert knowledge, and
:11:53. > :12:04.good luck for the rest of the season. Thank you very much, the
:12:05. > :12:05.pleasure was mine. Gracias. Best of luck to Juan Mata in the
:12:06. > :12:08.League Cup final this weekend. Swansea City's new state-of-the-art
:12:09. > :12:11.training facility. The Swans have come a long way
:12:12. > :12:13.since 2003, when they dramatically
:12:14. > :12:14.fought off relegation from the Football League
:12:15. > :12:17.on the final day of the season. Since then, the club has been
:12:18. > :12:19.on an upward trajectory, and have been a Premier League
:12:20. > :12:24.fixture for the past five seasons. However, this campaign has
:12:25. > :12:51.not gone so smoothly. They say this could be the last game
:12:52. > :12:57.in charge, it is a lot of pressure to put on yourself. Francesco
:12:58. > :13:01.Guidolin knows the pressure has gone up a notch. Francesco Guidolin has
:13:02. > :13:10.been sacked, he will be replaced by Bob Bradley. I am not an American
:13:11. > :13:15.manager, I am a football manager. Swansea are taking a hammering here.
:13:16. > :13:25.Too easy to play against, we let them totally dictated the match.
:13:26. > :13:28.Christian Eriksen, 1-0. It was a great being, bringing him in with
:13:29. > :13:33.his lack of experience, to keep them up. Bob Bradley has been sacked. All
:13:34. > :13:44.Clement will be their third Manager of the Season. -- Paul Clement.
:13:45. > :13:53.A deflating first league match in charge for Paul Clement. Paul
:13:54. > :14:05.Clement's team have scored three times at Anfield! If it is freeware
:14:06. > :14:10.wins out of four in the month of January... -- three wins. What a
:14:11. > :14:17.ridiculous turnaround, he was bottom when they came in. Brilliant finish!
:14:18. > :14:23.Sense Paul Clement has been given the job, Swansea have driven their
:14:24. > :14:30.way from relegation trouble -- since. Hello, how are you? Good to
:14:31. > :14:33.see you. The boss said it is or was like this.
:14:34. > :14:40.It is a normal Swansea day. He has been at places like real Madrid,
:14:41. > :14:46.with the sunshine. This is your second stint, so you know. But it is
:14:47. > :14:49.nice in the summer. It is, a beautiful part of the world. We are
:14:50. > :15:02.going to go in and have a chat. This is quite an impressive set up,
:15:03. > :15:09.this is all very new, the training ground and this. It has changed a
:15:10. > :15:14.lot. We have been here for about three months now, it is really good,
:15:15. > :15:17.positive vibe around the place. Everybody seems upbeat and positive.
:15:18. > :15:21.You have been over there playing table tennis. As cultivate an
:15:22. > :15:26.environment where you want to stay a little longer? -- does it. I think
:15:27. > :15:30.it does and results over the last couple of months I changed the
:15:31. > :15:34.atmosphere. Four managers over the last couple of years, what kind of
:15:35. > :15:38.place did Paul Clement find when he got here? It has been an interesting
:15:39. > :15:42.time. We were in a similar position this time last year going into
:15:43. > :15:50.January and are in a similar place now. The manager has done a really
:15:51. > :15:57.good job since he has come in. It is Gylfi Sigurdsson! Magnificent goal
:15:58. > :16:00.from Swansea. What has he done? He has brought an organisation into a
:16:01. > :16:03.defensive play, we are defending much better than we were. The
:16:04. > :16:09.quality in training as well has gone up. You can understand that because
:16:10. > :16:14.he has been at those big clubs. Why do you think it didn't work the Bob
:16:15. > :16:18.Bradley? What was the key ingredient that was missing? Of course, he
:16:19. > :16:22.didn't have a lot of time but if you look also at the manager now, he
:16:23. > :16:25.didn't have a lot of time until now and he has done really well.
:16:26. > :16:30.Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Obviously, the boss started
:16:31. > :16:35.his coaching career at Chelsea and you are going back there at the
:16:36. > :16:39.weekend. Has it changed this week, the intensity? Not at all, the same
:16:40. > :16:46.as every week. He is going there to get a result and a good performance
:16:47. > :16:57.and I'm sure his focus is on that. # And we were singing... Have you
:16:58. > :17:09.got any favourite football songs? Good question. The Swansea song. How
:17:10. > :17:14.does it go? Anyone? That is your favourite football song. We have
:17:15. > :17:18.said Charlie Baker of the task of putting his favourite football songs
:17:19. > :17:26.to jazz piano, so fingers crossed, he may have done the Swansea song.
:17:27. > :17:30.I'm sure he has done it really well. Hello, I'm Charlie Baker, comedian,
:17:31. > :17:33.singer, Torquay United fan. So what am I doing at Vicarage Road chanting
:17:34. > :17:44.about Watford FC? The producers of the Premier League
:17:45. > :17:48.Show have challenged me to come up with a new terrace chant and I
:17:49. > :17:52.thought where better to start than in the shadow of the Sir Elton John
:17:53. > :17:57.Stan. # And you can tell everybody
:17:58. > :18:02.# This is your song... So, let's break down the Watford FC chant. It
:18:03. > :18:10.starts with a strong, self promoting lyric.
:18:11. > :18:14.# Watford FC! Second line, they repeat, that they are in fact
:18:15. > :18:16.Watford FC, as if almost checking amongst themselves that they are
:18:17. > :18:22.Watford FC. # Watford FC. Then, save in the
:18:23. > :18:28.knowledge that they are Watford FC, they triumphantly cry Watford FC!
:18:29. > :18:32.Then the climax of the song, reiterating the fact that they are
:18:33. > :18:39.Watford FC, before laying the song to a beautiful rest with a final,
:18:40. > :18:49.exhausted, postcoital "Watford FC". # Watford FC! Yes, mate? Are you
:18:50. > :18:55.with someone today? I'm filming, mate. It's OK, I've not broken in.
:18:56. > :18:59.So that's the words. What about the June and head you get everyone
:19:00. > :19:03.singing it? I think the answer might be in here. My friend Kirsty Newton
:19:04. > :19:09.is the singalong queen of London. Kirsty, how'd you get people singing
:19:10. > :19:14.along? It is important to pick your moment, but most importantly, choose
:19:15. > :19:21.a well-known song. This is true, if you think about it, musical hits
:19:22. > :19:34.such as My Old Man... # My old man said be a City fan, I
:19:35. > :19:38.said BLEEP! # Sacked in the morning, you are
:19:39. > :19:46.getting sacked in the morning. And 1980s classics like gold. What? He
:19:47. > :19:53.has gone to the Chinese league. Anyone know the Chinese for gold. So
:19:54. > :20:04.mine, a top player, fun lyrics, telling about how great you are,
:20:05. > :20:06.then give it a Little Mix. # You'll never, you'll never get me
:20:07. > :20:30.down. Smashed it! I am not sure that is
:20:31. > :20:35.going to catch on. Are you a fan of jazz piano? I don't like it, it
:20:36. > :20:39.irritates me. Thank you for having us here today, it is fantastic to
:20:40. > :20:42.see the new Swansea training ground. Your football journey has been a
:20:43. > :20:46.very interesting one, to get to the stage to be a Premier League
:20:47. > :20:50.manager. A lot of people thought it may have come sooner but your
:20:51. > :20:53.relationship with Carlo Ancelotti in particular, I guess that was quite a
:20:54. > :20:59.tough relationship to extrapolate yourself from? It was, even when I
:21:00. > :21:02.look back at it now, I had that opportunity to work with him and
:21:03. > :21:07.some of the clubs and players, I have to pinch myself. I don't think
:21:08. > :21:09.it has sunk in that I had that journey through Chelsea, Paris
:21:10. > :21:14.Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, it is pretty
:21:15. > :21:16.incredible. But it was a great learning experience, working with
:21:17. > :21:21.Carlo very closely for seven years, having that experience of European
:21:22. > :21:26.football culture, different leagues, the quality of the players that I
:21:27. > :21:32.worked with was amazing. But even before that, you development,
:21:33. > :21:36.teaching, everything that I think I have done has prepared me for this
:21:37. > :21:39.opportunity. Tell us about teaching and what your skills as a teacher
:21:40. > :21:45.have brought your role as a football manager? Ultimately, it is about
:21:46. > :21:48.communication, about dealing with people. Understanding that not
:21:49. > :21:52.everyone is the same, people are different learning styles, different
:21:53. > :21:58.personalities, different aspirations. What kind of a teacher
:21:59. > :22:02.were you? I was firm. Firm but fair. You know, I liked to have a good
:22:03. > :22:09.relationship with the kids but I didn't stand for any nonsense and
:22:10. > :22:13.that involves yelling at times. I was a disciplinarian, for sure, but
:22:14. > :22:17.in a good way. I wasn't over the top. Your dad was a great
:22:18. > :22:22.footballer, you grew up with football around you all the time and
:22:23. > :22:28.to lose him at an early age, do you always ??DELETE almost feel like you
:22:29. > :22:32.had to take the heritage on? I'm not sure, I grew up in the environment,
:22:33. > :22:36.so from a very young age, I remember going to games and being around
:22:37. > :22:44.training grounds, whether that be QPR awful Wimbledon, even Bolton.
:22:45. > :22:47.I'd like to think he would be very proud -- QPR awful. My brother was a
:22:48. > :22:52.professional for many years as well at West Brom. We are a real football
:22:53. > :23:00.family. Do you think your relationship with Carlo Ancelotti
:23:01. > :23:06.was fulfilling the role of a mentor but also a father figure? Of course.
:23:07. > :23:09.In regular contact with him, I am always looking at the Bayern Munich
:23:10. > :23:13.results, I go on face time to see how he is getting on. It was a
:23:14. > :23:17.special relationship, after seven years, when you work with someone so
:23:18. > :23:21.closely, you travel the world and you're sitting next to them on the
:23:22. > :23:25.coach and on the bench the games. It is strange and it may be strange for
:23:26. > :23:30.him that after this amount of time, I am not sitting next to him. To
:23:31. > :23:39.form a relationship like you had to do with Carlo Ancelotti and gel to
:23:40. > :23:42.such an extent that he wants to take you with him to all those big clubs,
:23:43. > :23:45.what was it? Was it a deep understanding of the way he wanted
:23:46. > :23:47.to set out and play football? Was it a personality thing? I imagine you
:23:48. > :23:50.will also be wanting to have those relationships with people you work
:23:51. > :23:53.with. When Carlo came in, he had Ray Wilkins in place as an assistant and
:23:54. > :23:57.didn't need another one. Frank Arnesen was the technical director
:23:58. > :24:01.and said to have a look at me and so we had a trial, if you like. While
:24:02. > :24:04.was thought I would go back to coach with the reserves but it was an
:24:05. > :24:09.opportunity I didn't want to turn down and not seem like I wasn't
:24:10. > :24:13.ambitious. So I did two weeks, we went away with the team to America
:24:14. > :24:17.and I found it uncomfortable, because I had been working so long
:24:18. > :24:25.in youth development football, to be in that environment was all very
:24:26. > :24:28.new. With the grown-ups? Yes, the environment is totally different and
:24:29. > :24:31.I initially said to Carlo, I think it is best that I go back and work
:24:32. > :24:34.the reserve team and get more experience and he said, you will
:24:35. > :24:37.have a great experience with me, you will learn a lot Angie will stay
:24:38. > :24:42.with me a long time and at that point I said, let's do this. You
:24:43. > :24:46.have been at clubs and coached players who are the very best of the
:24:47. > :24:48.very best. I read a really good article where you talked about
:24:49. > :24:53.Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the most incredible training session, and the
:24:54. > :24:58.intensity with which he trained. What did you take from those Uber
:24:59. > :25:02.players, if you like? I have never come across someone quite like
:25:03. > :25:07.Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Paris Saint-Germain. Such a powerful
:25:08. > :25:16.personality and, you know, bordering on arrogance. Just saying the right
:25:17. > :25:20.side of it? In a nice way, it made me smile. I walked out of training
:25:21. > :25:25.with him one day from the dressing room onto the pitches and he said to
:25:26. > :25:29.me about Didier Drogba, how is Didier Drogba, what is he like? I
:25:30. > :25:33.said he is a good player, he has these qualities, you know, like you
:25:34. > :25:39.have and he said, you have never worked with someone as good as me.
:25:40. > :25:44.Then Real Madrid came the Carlo. He said we have an opportunity to go
:25:45. > :25:47.there and I thought this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, to work at
:25:48. > :25:51.a great club like that, so there was no doubt in my mind that that was
:25:52. > :25:57.the right thing to do at that point. When that came to an end, you know,
:25:58. > :26:01.Derby was... They contacted me and I thought, this is a great first
:26:02. > :26:07.opportunity for me. So why didn't it work? I think that is what everybody
:26:08. > :26:11.else thought. It wasn't a success but I don't think it was a failure
:26:12. > :26:15.either. In my opinion, my time there was cut short. I have strong belief
:26:16. > :26:19.that if I was given more time, I would have gone on and been
:26:20. > :26:22.successful. You have had an amazing run of results, manager of the month
:26:23. > :26:27.as well, it couldn't have been a better start for you here. Does it
:26:28. > :26:31.feel a little bit surreal? It was a good start. I still feel really
:26:32. > :26:37.disappointed we lost to Arsenal, my first game at home, 4-0, really
:26:38. > :26:44.disappointed. They were on fire that day. They've played very well. I am
:26:45. > :26:47.also disappointed we didn't get a point at Manchester City, that is on
:26:48. > :26:52.my mind more than the win at Liverpool. So what would success for
:26:53. > :26:55.this season look like the you? To stay in this league but also not to
:26:56. > :26:58.have a really difficult time at the end of the season, when everyone is
:26:59. > :27:02.suffering with the pressure of having to get four points in the
:27:03. > :27:06.last two games, for example. We don't want to get in that situation,
:27:07. > :27:10.so we have to work really hard, every week, every game that we have
:27:11. > :27:13.in the near future, to make sure we get as many points as we can now so
:27:14. > :27:21.we don't have that potential period at the end of the season where the
:27:22. > :27:23.pressure is so, so high. Interesting fixture this weekend, going back to
:27:24. > :27:27.where it all started, Chelsea. Is there room for nostalgia, for
:27:28. > :27:30.romance, for you in this fixture? I am looking forward to it, having
:27:31. > :27:35.spent so many years there. One of the first things I did when I came
:27:36. > :27:39.here was look at the fixture list and see when it was coming up and it
:27:40. > :27:42.put a twinkle in my eye, going back to Stamford Bridge. I haven't been
:27:43. > :27:47.back in a coaching capacity, I have been to watch games but it will be
:27:48. > :27:52.my first time since 2011 and I have really fond memories, especially the
:27:53. > :27:56.2009-10 season, when we won the double with Carlo, a very rare thing
:27:57. > :28:00.in football and I'm looking forward to going back. If we get points
:28:01. > :28:03.against Chelsea, that will be a bonus but the four games after that
:28:04. > :28:06.are critical. Good luck at the weekend.
:28:07. > :28:09.Before we go, let's take a look at the weekend's fixtures.
:28:10. > :28:11.Paul and Swansea's trip to Chelsea takes centre stage on Saturday
:28:12. > :28:15.Watford take on West Ham in the evening kick-off.
:28:16. > :28:17.Tottenham entertain Stoke on Sunday, whilst Liverpool travel
:28:18. > :28:18.to struggling Leicester the evening after,
:28:19. > :28:26.and there will be a special Monday night MOTD2 for those two games.
:28:27. > :28:32.Everyone has packed up and gone home so all that is left for us to do is
:28:33. > :28:34.to thank Paul Clement and Swansea City for having us that they're
:28:35. > :28:39.brilliant new training ground. This time next week, we are off to
:28:40. > :28:42.Leicester to delve deeper into the Premier League champions' anger
:28:43. > :28:47.over. Rumours have been swirling around. I club statement has just
:28:48. > :28:51.been released that Claudio Ranieri has been sacked. The board
:28:52. > :28:54.reluctantly feels that a change of leadership, while admittedly
:28:55. > :28:57.painful, is necessary. We will forever be grateful to him for what
:28:58. > :29:04.he has helped us to achieve. Robert Burns. Bagpipes. Stovies.
:29:05. > :29:08.Billy Connolly, yeah.
