0:01:19 > 0:01:26the icing that was already on the cake. Raheem Sterling! Sterling,
0:01:26 > 0:01:34Silva. Quite magnificent. Typical, clinical, Sergio Aguero. Every time
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Manchester City attack look like scoring. Another goal filled

0:01:43 > 0:01:48of the Premier League? Manchester City, superb. We're getting used to
0:01:48 > 0:01:50saying that.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Hello from Manchester and welcome to The Premier League Show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56A third of the way into the season and there's no doubting who's been
0:01:56 > 0:01:57top of the class so far.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And with me to provide some
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Sky Blue thinking, former City stopper Shay Given,
0:02:01 > 0:02:07and the actor and Radio 1 DJ Cel Spellman.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Good to have you. What a good time to
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Good to have you. What a good time to be a City fan, Cel.Yes, and when
0:02:13 > 0:02:16the majority of your friends are Manchester City fans.You could be
0:02:16 > 0:02:22playing behind them now.Fantastic to watch, the way they are playing,
0:02:22 > 0:02:27the brand of football, the goals, the chances, phenomenal.We will
0:02:27 > 0:02:32have more on the Guardiola revolution later on.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Leicester and England star Jamie Vardy tells us about
0:02:34 > 0:02:36his rise to the top.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Hip hop star Loyle Carner meets United legend Eric Cantona,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41comedian Nish Kumar delves into the murky world of football
0:02:41 > 0:02:42conspiracy theories, and we'll reflect on the rest
0:02:42 > 0:02:45of the big stories from around the Premier League.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48We will start though with Leicester's fox in the box,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50whose incredible journey from non-league anonymity
0:02:50 > 0:02:53to Premier League champion looks set to gain a new leg
0:02:53 > 0:02:55next summer with England at the World Cup.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Steve Bower accepted his invitation to the Vardy party.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05# Have a party, let's have a party #
0:03:10 > 0:03:18Oh, what a screamer! What a goal that is. Finished by Jamie Vardy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Leicester City in the lead again.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32Jamie, good to see you, how is Leicester life, no manager, how have
0:03:32 > 0:03:38you found it with a new manager? He's good, he's come in with new
0:03:38 > 0:03:41ideas, adding us in some new formations and making sure we are on
0:03:41 > 0:03:46board with it, that we know our roles in a different formation and
0:03:46 > 0:03:49that can only benefit us with different options.The fact that
0:03:49 > 0:03:53he's managed in the Premier League before, has that benefited the
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Leicester squad?I think so, he knows what this league is about,
0:03:58 > 0:04:05what every game is like, it's a grind. The amount it takes out your
0:04:05 > 0:04:08body, it's unbelievable and we must be fresh for every game. If he needs
0:04:08 > 0:04:12to get the point across, he makes sure that he does and he's not
0:04:12 > 0:04:16bothered if you have an opinion as well. He'll listen to it and see
0:04:16 > 0:04:19where you're coming from and that's how it should work. You should be
0:04:19 > 0:04:28able to talk to each other. When the gaffer's come in we've had some good
0:04:28 > 0:04:35results. Obviously we lost to Manchester City but Man City and the
0:04:35 > 0:04:39moment, they are on fire. They are beating everyone in their path.De
0:04:39 > 0:04:47Bruyne hits it and does he hit it, does he ever?Are they as good as
0:04:47 > 0:04:54everybody says?They are good, really good. You see the attacking
0:04:54 > 0:04:58notch and is they've got. They just make sure they are as solid as they
0:04:58 > 0:05:02can be at the back.You know how hard it is to win the league and
0:05:02 > 0:05:10what a grind it is. Do you see them having a blip somewhere?At the
0:05:10 > 0:05:14minute, the way they are playing, you'd probably say no but it's
0:05:14 > 0:05:21football, anything can happen. Superb play, oh, what a lovely goal.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27What a ball, Vardy can't miss.Do you see yourself as one of the
0:05:27 > 0:05:30senior players, you take more responsibility? Without making you
0:05:30 > 0:05:38feel too old!No, not really. Luckily there are still a few who
0:05:38 > 0:05:43are older than me.Given the journey you've been on as a player, do you
0:05:43 > 0:05:45appreciate each season more and more in the Premier League?Definitely,
0:05:45 > 0:05:52now I'm getting older now! I've got to keep appreciating it and I hope
0:05:52 > 0:05:58it continues for a few more years. Do you allow yourself days when you
0:05:58 > 0:06:05think back?Yeah, I always think back, I stay in touch with the lad
0:06:05 > 0:06:10from Stockbridge, it's always good to be like that and it keeps your
0:06:10 > 0:06:14feet on the ground.Do you think you could be an inspiration for
0:06:14 > 0:06:16somebody, going from non-league to international football the way you
0:06:16 > 0:06:23have?Yeah, why not? It's not just that, other players have done it,
0:06:23 > 0:06:32Chris Smalling. If we can do it, then why can't it continue?You have
0:06:32 > 0:06:36started an academy, is that one of the objective, to give lads an
0:06:36 > 0:06:41opportunity they aren't getting at the moment?Yeah, definitely. It
0:06:41 > 0:06:44puts their faces out there and with all the skills that turn up, it
0:06:44 > 0:06:48shows them what non-league is about. They might not have watched them
0:06:48 > 0:06:54play at the lower level before. The Academy were a success this year and
0:06:54 > 0:07:01it will be better next year.How many players actually went?Four got
0:07:01 > 0:07:05through to signing pro contracts, the first time doing it, from 42
0:07:05 > 0:07:10lads, unbelievable. They are playing now, good luck to them.Match of the
0:07:10 > 0:07:17Day highlights, the Boreham Wood game, knocking at Blackpool.Turned
0:07:17 > 0:07:24in by Taggart, the substitute with an immediate impact.When you see a
0:07:24 > 0:07:27player on television doing that, what is the feeling of satisfaction
0:07:27 > 0:07:32that you've helped him have that opportunity?Yeah it gives you a
0:07:32 > 0:07:35little buzz, it really does but fair play to him as well, he got the
0:07:35 > 0:07:40chance and he kept going and working hard. He came up against a league
0:07:40 > 0:07:45club and knocked them out.Do you get as much memory from winning the
0:07:45 > 0:07:50title with Fleetwood Town as you do the Premier League with Leicester?
0:07:50 > 0:07:56Quite a while back, that one!It was a unique moment in your life.You
0:07:56 > 0:07:59still remember it, you don't forget things like that. And the time it
0:07:59 > 0:08:04was a massive achievement for myself. I'd just been signed that
0:08:04 > 0:08:09season, jumping up two leagues. To go up that season was unbelievable
0:08:09 > 0:08:19as well.Oh, what a goal by Eden Hazard. To win the title. It may
0:08:19 > 0:08:24have done just that for Leicester City.That night you won the league
0:08:24 > 0:08:28in your house, will that be a memory that will never leave you?It will
0:08:28 > 0:08:35never leave me but I've just sold the house!LAUGHTER
0:08:35 > 0:08:38But memory wise, that is something that I'll ever forget, especially
0:08:38 > 0:08:46the way that happens. # Champions, champions! The new
0:08:46 > 0:08:52owners have good memories in the kitchen! A bit extra on the price,
0:08:52 > 0:08:57where it was celebrated?No, none of that.Was it a pinch yourself
0:08:57 > 0:09:02moment, given the journey we've been talking about, where you come from?
0:09:02 > 0:09:09Definitely but I think it worthy same for everyone in the squad. --
0:09:09 > 0:09:17it worth the same. Just going into their own little zone, ecstatic and
0:09:17 > 0:09:22then quiet for half an hour, wondering what's going on.After the
0:09:22 > 0:09:26league title you had the chance to leave the club. Is that a sign of
0:09:26 > 0:09:30your loyalty and what Leicester means to you?Yeah it's a decision I
0:09:30 > 0:09:37came to, I thought about the positives and the negatives. I made
0:09:37 > 0:09:41my decisions, stuck by it.Do you hope to be here for many seasons to
0:09:41 > 0:09:48come?You always say that but the manager may get fed up with me and
0:09:48 > 0:09:54say, on your bike, so we'll see. Apart from pushing Leicester up the
0:09:54 > 0:09:58league it is the World Cup year, does that excite you, playing in the
0:09:58 > 0:10:04World Cup for your country?Yeah, massive but I've got to be playing
0:10:04 > 0:10:10well for Leicester to be in the squad. My main focus when it isn't
0:10:10 > 0:10:15international 's is all Leicester. An important six months for the
0:10:15 > 0:10:20club.If I'm doing well for the club and the team are doing well, then
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Leicester will be pushing up the table and I'll be putting myself in
0:10:23 > 0:10:29the hat for a chance to go to the World Cup.Clearly as hungry as ever
0:10:29 > 0:10:32and desperate to be in the World Cup squad. What another incredible
0:10:32 > 0:10:38chapter that would be in his story, to come from non-league in a 2017.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41It is so rare and great to see him giving a chance to other players as
0:10:41 > 0:10:48well, Shea.Unbelievable when you think where he has come from. Hoping
0:10:48 > 0:10:55to go to the World Cup, it is unbelievable. Macclesfield, they
0:10:55 > 0:10:58dream of being the next Jamie Vardy. What he's done with his Academy,
0:10:58 > 0:11:04bringing kids from other clubs, fantastic as well.The kids who were
0:11:04 > 0:11:06released, I don't know if you grew up with kids going into academies,
0:11:06 > 0:11:12you don't want them to lose the passion and love for the game.If
0:11:12 > 0:11:15you take Jamie Vardy as an example, he can inspire and give hope to
0:11:15 > 0:11:20these young people but I also wonder how many amazing players have been
0:11:20 > 0:11:24lost through the system and are playing non-league. If they were
0:11:24 > 0:11:27given the chance, they have the ability to compete at the highest
0:11:27 > 0:11:31level.He is their role model and having to juggle everything at home
0:11:31 > 0:11:36because his wife is in the jungle. Having a party at the weekend, I
0:11:36 > 0:11:43think! She's away, he's having a party.Now Leicester seem a bit
0:11:43 > 0:11:48steadier, Claude Puel at the helm and he alluded to good
0:11:48 > 0:11:52communication, players expressing themselves. Not many Leicester fans
0:11:52 > 0:11:59were happy when Puel Wenth there, underwhelmingbut the has them
0:11:59 > 0:12:03playing the way he once and playing some good stuff.They said that
0:12:03 > 0:12:07about Ranieri and he won the league. Let's talk about City, Noel
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Gallagher said it is like watching a team from another galaxy at the
0:12:11 > 0:12:16moment, out of this world.It's genuinely feels that way. It was the
0:12:16 > 0:12:22Stoke game, when the fourth goal went in. I never thought I'd
0:12:22 > 0:12:27witnessed that kind of football live. I only thought I'd see it on
0:12:27 > 0:12:32TV, watching the European teams. To have that football on display and
0:12:32 > 0:12:37some of the movement and passing, it is a joy to watch and we are very
0:12:37 > 0:12:43lucky at the moment.Can you go the season unbeaten, Cel?It would be
0:12:43 > 0:12:48amazing, I don't think we can. If we want to compete in all four
0:12:48 > 0:12:55competitions there are a lot of fixtures. We've got two, three
0:12:55 > 0:13:01defenders out, stones, Otamendi. Any more injuries, you don't know. City
0:13:01 > 0:13:05have a the Rockies patch around November and December, we've dropped
0:13:05 > 0:13:13points here in the past. -- have a rocky patch.Is it important, to go
0:13:13 > 0:13:17the season unbeaten? The manager says it is about every game.
0:13:17 > 0:13:24Guardiola, if they lose a game he won't care if they win the cup and
0:13:24 > 0:13:28the league but ideally he'd love to do that, going back to Arsenal, the
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Invincibles. At the end of the season it's about how many trophies
0:13:33 > 0:13:39they picked up rather than whether they are unbeaten.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So City marching ever on, and here's what else has been
0:13:42 > 0:13:44happening this past week.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Bellerin, Lacazette, good running behind him. Chance for Arsenal for a
0:13:54 > 0:14:01second. That makes it two. Important statement, victory for Arsenal. Over
0:14:01 > 0:14:10to the side and Ashley Barnes doubles Burnley's lead. Three wins
0:14:10 > 0:14:16in a row for Burnley. Six defeats in 74 Swansea. -- in seven, for
0:14:16 > 0:14:24Swansea. Fabregas, what a pass. Hazard, keeper off his line and
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Hazard does the rest. Pressure increases on Tony Pulis as West
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Bromwich now ten games without a win.It's not about the chairman of
0:14:34 > 0:14:38the Mac myself, it's about what's best for the club, in any job if it
0:14:38 > 0:14:43doesn't go well then you're going to be under pressure.Lukaku, Pogba!
0:14:43 > 0:14:53Great goal. Paul Pogba is back and bank with a goal.If I didn't
0:14:53 > 0:15:01believe we could win the league then I'd stop playing football.The jal
0:15:01 > 0:15:08is an! 2-0. West Ham didn't have much luck and they also have no
0:15:08 > 0:15:12points.We need to play much better if we're going to get away from the
0:15:12 > 0:15:15wrong end of the table. Hopefully getting a few players back from
0:15:15 > 0:15:22injury will help the squad.In the last few hours, West Brom have
0:15:22 > 0:15:25sacked manager Tony Pulis following their 4-0 defeat to Chelsea on
0:15:25 > 0:15:32Saturday.Lovely ball by Shaqiri, brought down well and that's a
0:15:32 > 0:15:42lovely goal on the counter. A good run, and the equalising goal. The
0:15:42 > 0:15:48cross from Fletcher, and it's in the back of the net, Stoke have another
0:15:48 > 0:15:56one. Murray still in possession, across the face of goal and it's
0:15:56 > 0:15:582-2.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Everton striker Oumar Niasse has been banned from two matches after
0:16:04 > 0:16:08being found guilty of diving against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Niasse is the first Premier League footballer to be banned under
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Premier League rules.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21Niasse, the big news, the first successful deception, get a two
0:16:21 > 0:16:24match ban, if this come to BBC change and a cultural change with
0:16:24 > 0:16:30footballers and diving?I would like to think it will, but you never
0:16:30 > 0:16:35know. Once you are in the game, you try to do anything if you need that
0:16:35 > 0:16:38goal, sometimes players go to those levels. But the first one has
0:16:38 > 0:16:42happened, and it may set a precedent where players will think twice about
0:16:42 > 0:16:48doing it. You are not missing one, two.It is harsh, if I am honest, on
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Niasse, with that specific incident. He makes the most of it, but there
0:16:52 > 0:16:56is a coming together. There are incidents where a player takes a
0:16:56 > 0:17:05couple of steps and goes down. Successful deception, it could come
0:17:05 > 0:17:09into play there.We are uncomfortable with that!There was a
0:17:09 > 0:17:15coming together. He made the most of it, but two game ban is harsh.It
0:17:15 > 0:17:19sent out a big message.Don't get me wrong, it is the right message, and
0:17:19 > 0:17:23people diving should be banned, but that specific one is a bit harsh.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Let's talk more about Tony Pulis gone, and not so much about his
0:17:27 > 0:17:31departure, but about the idea that a manager doesn't just had to be
0:17:31 > 0:17:34successful in keeping a team in the Premier League, or being mid-table
0:17:34 > 0:17:39can you have to be entertainer, West Brom not happy with the style of
0:17:39 > 0:17:44football. Our fans asking for too much?Sometimes. They have only won
0:17:44 > 0:17:49three games since March. If they are not playing well and getting
0:17:49 > 0:17:52results, it is OK, but three games since March is not a good run at
0:17:52 > 0:17:56all, it is relegation form. The funny thing I read in the paper this
0:17:56 > 0:18:01week, who is the best man to keep West Brom up now? Some one said Tony
0:18:01 > 0:18:09Pulis. He is so good at keeping teams in the league! They don't want
0:18:09 > 0:18:12that brand of football in the Championship, I don't think.It
0:18:12 > 0:18:17comes down to what players you've got, and playing to your strengths.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22It is well and good wanting to have an exciting brand of football. But
0:18:22 > 0:18:26at the same time, City are lucky where we have incredibly gifted
0:18:26 > 0:18:30technical footballers. If you haven't got 3- for those in the
0:18:30 > 0:18:36team, and you have to change the way you play bit. It does maybe mean
0:18:36 > 0:18:39defensive play, so you have to play to your strengths.The big game this
0:18:39 > 0:18:43weekend, double and Chelsea, if you had to choose one to challenge for
0:18:43 > 0:18:47the title, who do you pick?For me, Chelsea. It is similar to last
0:18:47 > 0:18:53season, they had a shaky start. After this weekend, three clean
0:18:53 > 0:18:58sheets, they seem to have found their form again. And I think
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Liverpool are dynamite going forward, especially with the form
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Salah is in. Defensively, they just haven't got it quite right.As they
0:19:04 > 0:19:09proved again in midweek, with Sevilla.If that gets sorted,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Chelsea is the one we should pay attention to.Do you agree?People
0:19:14 > 0:19:18are fed up of talking about Liverpool's deficiencies at the back
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and because they concede, Jurgen Klopp will be up as well. Three
0:19:21 > 0:19:24goals away from home in the Champions League this week and still
0:19:24 > 0:19:30only drawing the game is alarm bells for me the Liverpool. The fans are
0:19:30 > 0:19:34saying, why was it not addressed in the summer?? So over why he didn't
0:19:34 > 0:19:46bring in a defender that they all say they need.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52David Moyes' first game in charge at the London Stadium kicks things
0:19:52 > 0:19:52off on Friday night, before fellow strugglers
0:19:52 > 0:19:53off on Friday night, before fellow strugglers
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Crystal Palace and Swansea also seek to make home advantage
0:19:56 > 0:19:57count on Saturday.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59The post-Pulis era begins for West Brom at Wembley,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01while Brighton's visit to Old Trafford is sure to evoke
0:20:01 > 0:20:03memories of that famous cup final.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05And at tea time, all eyes will be on Anfield
0:20:05 > 0:20:06for Liverpool versus Chelsea.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08There's a triple header on Sunday, including high-flying
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Burnley hosting Arsenal, before things conclude
0:20:10 > 0:20:12with the leaders' short trip along the M62 to Huddersfield.
0:20:12 > 0:20:142017 has been a good year for Loyle Carner,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17whose debut album Yesterday's Gone was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Hip hop aside, his other passion is football,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22and he's been giving BBC Music a little insight into his love of
0:20:22 > 0:20:25retro kits and a certain Frenchman.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40My whole tour is sold out, pretty
0:20:40 > 0:20:42My whole tour is sold out, pretty much. One guy from Dublin got in
0:20:42 > 0:20:46touch to say he wanted tickets for the show and he would swap them for
0:20:46 > 0:20:49a Swedish 90s kit, I said yes on Twitter, and after that I was
0:20:49 > 0:20:54getting the best shirts in the world. I am the wrapper with the
0:20:54 > 0:20:56best connection... Ever. I brought some of my favourite
0:20:56 > 0:21:01kits with me, once I have picked up. I was given these at the Bristol
0:21:01 > 0:21:05show on the latest tour, it is a 1994 double kit, the year I was
0:21:05 > 0:21:09born. This is the shirt I bring to every show of mine. Eric Cantona is
0:21:09 > 0:21:20the king. Cantona!
0:21:20 > 0:21:24One thing I could never find, to be a football player was to discipline
0:21:24 > 0:21:28myself and train every day. It is a passion. It is why I
0:21:28 > 0:21:34retired. I lost the passion. I wish I could play, only play. To play,
0:21:34 > 0:21:38you have to do everything else.What music do you listen to?
0:21:38 > 0:21:46Hip hop like, pop rock, jazz. You play an instrument?Are used to play
0:21:46 > 0:21:49the trumpet. Do you play? I started the trumpet.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Yeah? But I was banned after Crystal
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Palace... My dad was a fantastic musician, he
0:21:58 > 0:22:02promised me that me and him would tour the world one day. We never got
0:22:02 > 0:22:05the chance to do that, sadly, because he passed away, he was a
0:22:05 > 0:22:08massive Manchester United fan, but more important they, he was a
0:22:08 > 0:22:16Cantona fan. You became my hero. He said, when you score a goal, you
0:22:16 > 0:22:19don't submit, you stand there and let people know what you have done.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Every show I play, I have that showed around my shoulders. When he
0:22:22 > 0:22:26passed away, the ultimate sacrifice for me was to have this shirt on
0:22:26 > 0:22:31stage, as a Liverpool fan, to hold it up, because of how much you bend
0:22:31 > 0:22:39to him. -- meant to him. This is my dad in the shirt. My mum
0:22:39 > 0:22:44wanted you to see it. I took a photo, it is very special.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51You are almost like a legend's legend. If you can put it into any
0:22:51 > 0:22:56words what you think you have made it.I don't know.That is the right
0:22:56 > 0:22:58answer. I had a special relationship with
0:22:58 > 0:23:03the fans. I don't want to know why. If you are nice looking, and realise
0:23:03 > 0:23:08you are nice looking, you are not nice anymore. It is spontaneity.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14Here is Cantona! He has done it! Absolute pleasure, thank you so
0:23:14 > 0:23:21much. He's so cool as well, so call. I
0:23:21 > 0:23:25didn't expect to be that call. I knew he would be called, he cut his
0:23:25 > 0:23:29hair as well. Very, very, very special day,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32probably the best day I have had in my entire life, I got to meet Eric
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Cantona, and I showed him this. Cantona now knows what my dad looks
0:23:37 > 0:23:44like. STUDIO: Special times when Eric
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Cantona was gracing the Premier League, did you come up against an?
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I don't think I did, I was too young, would you believe! What a
0:23:51 > 0:23:54great player, voted by Manchester United fans one of the best players
0:23:54 > 0:24:01of all time. I think that Sunderland goal, the goal he scored against
0:24:01 > 0:24:05them, personifies person, chip the keeper, stood around with the collar
0:24:05 > 0:24:10up. He could wear a shirt, he looked
0:24:10 > 0:24:13good in his Manchester United shirt, as a City fan, you have tried that
0:24:13 > 0:24:18shirt on yourself, haven't you?It was a career low. It was the lowest
0:24:18 > 0:24:24point in my career. I have some first-degree burns underneath.Your
0:24:24 > 0:24:27dad, James Nesbitt, is a mad Manchester United fan.He took great
0:24:27 > 0:24:31pleasure in me wearing that shirt. It was horrendous for me, honestly.
0:24:31 > 0:24:40It really was. I felt like I was letting my grandad down. It was only
0:24:40 > 0:24:47acting. I wanted to take the shirt, get summer detonation, and set it
0:24:47 > 0:24:53alight. -- some redemption. I made my debut for island and I had
0:24:53 > 0:24:59the most rascal shirt ever. It was a bright purple thing, it was like a
0:24:59 > 0:25:03bunch of six Rob splashed paint on it. It was my international debut
0:25:03 > 0:25:09shirt, I will never live it down. You would have photo shopped it
0:25:09 > 0:25:15nowadays.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Yesterday marked the 54th anniversary of
0:25:17 > 0:25:18the Kennedy assassination, and since 1963 the debate
0:25:18 > 0:25:20has continued to rage over exactly what transpired
0:25:20 > 0:25:22that fateful day in Dallas.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24And as our own deep throat Nish Kumar has uncovered,
0:25:24 > 0:25:28football too, isn't without its own conspiracy theories.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Hello, I am Nish Kumar, comedian and football fan. I am also a big fan of
0:25:45 > 0:25:49conspiracy theories, or am I! I am that is why I was asked to do this
0:25:49 > 0:25:52bit. Let's look at some of the greatest
0:25:52 > 0:25:57football conspiracy theories of all time. In 1998, the night before the
0:25:57 > 0:26:00World Cup final, Ronaldo was taken ill with a mystery illness.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04What about this Ronaldo business again. What do you make of it?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I have never had anything like this in my career, this is the second
0:26:07 > 0:26:13team sheet that says Ronaldo plays. The theory is Nike forced him to
0:26:13 > 0:26:17play, because he was too important to this Bond ship, so they may have
0:26:17 > 0:26:24taken their just do it slogan literally.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28-- sponsorship. South Korea at the 2002 World Cup, after a string of
0:26:28 > 0:26:31poor refereeing decisions against Spain and Italy, the hosts reached
0:26:31 > 0:26:35the semifinal. The ball was out, the ball was
0:26:35 > 0:26:42out... The linesman has made a terrible decision.That was costly,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and more will complain. Was this favourable decision
0:26:45 > 0:26:49designed to benefit them or just human error? Sepp Blatter said be
0:26:49 > 0:26:52human errors were not premeditated, which almost certainly means they
0:26:52 > 0:26:59were. In 1970 World Cup, England captain
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Bobby Moore, paragon of virtue, nation's hero, stitched up over the
0:27:03 > 0:27:07theft of a bracelet at a hotel shop. The situation is this, no England
0:27:07 > 0:27:10player or official will comment on any news in Colombia until Bobby
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Moore is safely in Mexico and back with the party.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Was it an attempt to extort money or were they tried to put the world
0:27:18 > 0:27:22champions up as they attempted to defend their crime. He was released
0:27:22 > 0:27:24later, and if you weeks said, England went out to West Germany
0:27:24 > 0:27:32after Peter Shilton was taken ill with a case of food poisoning.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Speaking of food poisoning, on the final day of the 2006 season, all
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Spurs had to do to finish above Arsenal and qualify for the
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Champions League was much there was, in a game against West Ham.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49As the teams come out, the West Ham fans are singing, but hot and may be
0:27:49 > 0:27:51blowing hardest in the first half here.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Unfortunately, they stayed in a hotel overnight, had a lasagne, and
0:27:54 > 0:27:58had what can only be described as an apocalyptic case of diarrhoea. It
0:27:58 > 0:28:08was literally a storm. Bobby Zamora Ord terry shedding --
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Teddy Sheringham, they can put the skids on that today.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14You have ruined that.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Spurs will finish fifth and go into the Uefa cup.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23I do have a couple of questions, why did Spurs a hotel when they were
0:28:23 > 0:28:27playing down the road? Two, who has a lasagne the night before a
0:28:27 > 0:28:33football match? This is the delicious, but it is a cheese pasta
0:28:33 > 0:28:36cake. STUDIO: Any conspiracy theories you
0:28:36 > 0:28:41have?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Thank you, gentlemen.
0:28:48 > 0:28:54Nice to get to know each other?I am buzzing.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57That's all we've got time for today, don't forget if you've missed
0:28:57 > 0:28:59anything then you can find us on the iPlayer.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02We're taking a little winter break, but The Premier League Show will be
0:29:02 > 0:29:04back in the new year fully recharged.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Until then, the BBC will have your football covered,
0:29:06 > 0:29:07each and every weekend. Goodbye.
