:02:12. > :02:20.thought. -- parents. The equipment? The roundabout possibly. As long as
:02:20. > :02:25.I was with them while they were on that it was OK. All very well says

:19:09. > :19:12.are a massive Sunderland fan - what do you make up the appointment of
:19:12. > :19:17.Martin O'Neill? I think it is a great appointment.
:19:17. > :19:23.I have known Martin for a few years and one thing I do know, he loves
:19:23. > :19:28.the club. That is really important. He is a great manager as well. I
:19:28. > :19:32.bumped into him in London a few days before the Wigan game, and we
:19:32. > :19:38.had a long chat about Sunderland. I do not know if that had any
:19:38. > :19:43.influence on him coming, may be! It is a great appointment. He needs to
:19:43. > :19:49.knock some heads together, doesn't he? Thank you, Steve.
:19:49. > :19:57.Steve McClaren will be dropping in tomorrow to chat to John Foster

:20:50. > :20:57.the North East, we just want to bring the fans back and get behind
:20:57. > :21:07.this team. If it means they can watch some former players here, so
:21:07. > :21:11.be it. It will see some of the top points scorers in rugby go head-to-
:21:11. > :21:14.head. That is not worrying Jimmy Gopperth.
:21:14. > :21:17.It is not worry me. It is a rugby game.

:23:41. > :23:48.
:23:48. > :23:52.For my age, I am not as good as the top skaters. I would love to be a
:23:52. > :23:58.Top skater, but I do not think that could really happen but I want to
