:19:01. > :19:02.in concentration at the other end led to an dqualizer
:19:03. > :19:06.in the very last minute. The final twist went Liverpool's way
:19:07. > :19:10.when Manquillo was brought down in the box setting up Gerrards's

:19:17. > :19:19.for his first victory as Bl`ckpool manager after losing one`nil
:19:20. > :19:21.at home to Watford last night. It's been a difficult start to
:19:22. > :19:24.the season on and off the fheld for a club that was in the Premier
:19:25. > :19:28.League just three years ago. Unrest among the supporters is
:19:29. > :19:32.significant and swelling as as Steve A decade ago, Blackpool's

:20:05. > :20:06.and the manager have been arguing They got together on Saturd`y
:20:07. > :20:12.put their differences aside. Would fans be happy with
:20:13. > :20:17.the change of ownership? We would like to see them do more to
:20:18. > :20:30.support the manager and the team and put money into the side and try
:20:31. > :20:34.and develop a club to the extent Last night the fans back
:20:35. > :20:41.their players as they lost They think the penalty cappdd
:20:42. > :20:50.off a bad night. Despite the rows and another defeat
:20:51. > :20:53.here tonight, the fans want success. There has been improvement
:20:54. > :21:00.and there is a bit of light. We have a good enough team to get
:21:01. > :21:03.some points in I have supported them for
:21:04. > :21:12.so long and I know how much they Blackpool have one point
:21:13. > :21:15.after their first seven gamds and it is the worst start to
:21:16. > :21:26.a season in their history. Into the Football League now
:21:27. > :21:29.and how about this for a st`tistic. The three goals scored by Bolton's
:21:30. > :21:33.Joe Mason in last night's 3`2 win over Rotherham was the first
:21:34. > :21:35.wanderers hat`trick in 12 ydars It also secured his side's
:21:36. > :21:38.first league win of the season. In League One, Rochdale scored four

:22:01. > :22:03.a couple of NRL clubs But as he told me earlier today that
:22:04. > :22:19.doesn't mean he'll forget It is very likely but it nedds to be
:22:20. > :22:25.the right deal for me personally, for the club in Australia and for
:22:26. > :22:33.what I am trying to create `s an international partnership of Salford
:22:34. > :22:37.and another club. I have no intention of leaving Salford,

:22:45. > :22:50.club. I know footage clubs have talked about partnering with
:22:51. > :22:52.Australian teams but this is a much closer partnership.

:24:12. > :24:20.bred by a butcher but is destined to be a breeder. You look at Rded
:24:21. > :24:25.traits. You look at the double muscle, he has muscle coming out of
:24:26. > :24:32.every bone in his body. You know when you have something good. He has
:24:33. > :24:36.been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo thanks to the record transfdr fee.
:24:37. > :24:42.Instead of moving to Real M`drid, he has moved from Lancashire to
:24:43. > :24:49.Cumbria. He has a good head on him, a good shoulder, a good length to
:24:50. > :24:59.him and a good loin in here. He has a good wide back end. With ` body
:25:00. > :25:03.like that, they use are alrdady flocking to him. George hopds one of
:25:04. > :25:05.them will breed a new Tenachous and you never know, he may well break
:25:06. > :25:26.another record. They are the legs. Diane is here. It
:25:27. > :25:27.was a glorious day again today. It thrills me when our weather is
:25:28. > :25:38.better than London. A wonderful day today and everyone
:25:39. > :25:42.is asking how long will it last There is some subtle changes over
:25:43. > :25:45.the next couple of days. Temperatures will drop as wd have
:25:46. > :25:53.through Sunday. We have somd bright weather around and it will feel
:25:54. > :25:57.fresher. Today is gorgeous. We had temperatures up to 23 Celsits. I
:25:58. > :26:02.don't think it would be quite as sunny as we go through tomorrow but
:26:03. > :26:08.it is still going to be a nhce one. It will be a slow start as ht turns
:26:09. > :26:12.into a fine day. Many places are looking fairly grey and there is a
:26:13. > :26:16.lot of cloud cover working hts way in from the other side of the
:26:17. > :26:22.Pennines. Close to the Pennhnes you might risk a shower but for most of
:26:23. > :26:27.us, it is a dry night and a gloomy night. Visibility will not be
:26:28. > :26:32.brilliant. The wind is light and the cloud cover and warm temper`tures
:26:33. > :26:39.means it will feel warm and muggy through the night. You have that
:26:40. > :26:45.slows lot `` slow starts tolorrow morning and it will take a while to
:26:46. > :26:48.improve. The cloud cover thhns and it will try and break. It won't be
:26:49. > :26:55.as pretty as it has been through the day. West is best and the ftrther
:26:56. > :27:01.away from the hills you are and to the coast, the, the brighter the
:27:02. > :27:07.skies will be. It is still ` good day. You have that easterly breeze
:27:08. > :27:12.that is bringing that muggy air 22 Celsius is a distinct possibility as
:27:13. > :27:16.you go through the day. There could be some showers as you move through
:27:17. > :27:22.Friday afternoon and they could be belters. That is what we ard looking
:27:23. > :27:27.to. Showers? We haven't had any of them for a while. It is amazing when
:27:28. > :27:37.you get up in the morning and it has been so still. It is really calm. We
:27:38. > :27:38.are stretching out summer. Thanks for watching. Good night.
