Arsenal UCL Favorites?

25:22On ESPN Plus, wow, if that doesn't get you in the mood, nothing will. We've got you covered, of course, across the globe. We've got a watch party in LA as Borussia Dortmund are looking to close the gap on Bayern Munich to five points at the top of the table. Our TV crew, of course, will be in California. On the sidelines, of course, will be Archie Rintat, who I imagine is very much looking forward to this class, Archie. Oh, big time, Dan, because Borussia Dortmund have to show a performance tomorrow. They have to win this as much as Niko Kovac, their coach, has kind of been on the fence about any cries for the title this season.

26:01He's been more putting his players back in their place when they've when they've dared to mention it. And yet, ultimately, they have to close the gap. Whereas for Bayern Munich, this is a chance for a statement. This is a chance for them before what's going to be a huge final few months of the season to say, look, we are well and truly top dogs here. and given the way that they're playing as of late, who would really bet against them as well? That front three of Kane, Elise and Diaz has really gelled together in such a great way for them this season and just seeing the way that they all seem to complement each other, the kind of decision-making that they have between them.

26:38You fear for Dortmund a little bit given the way that they're wobbling, not just away at Leipzig last weekend, even if they pulled it back to 2-2, but also that performance at Atalanta. It's been dubbed locally as a fiasco and you can understand why. Before we talk about Bayern Munich and what they've done so well this season, Jan, let's reflect on what Borussia Dortmund did wrong midweek. It's inevitable, isn't it, to bring up Ben Sabiani, considering his contribution to Atalanta's victory. As a player in the dressing room, how are you acting towards him the last 48 hours? Because this must just be miserable and something very difficult to get over.

27:17Yes, it is. And I just come from Germany now and I've been reading all the different magazine of papers. They still love their papers in Germany. And this is all over the place. I mean, this is a fiasco for them. And as Archer was saying, they went to Leipzig and we thought they will get a win there to keep that momentum six points away from them and then beat Bayern at home. but then you don't the three. And now Niko Kovac has done a fantastic job. And as it was said, they've only lost once this season away against Bayern. Now they more or less can ruin, quote, ruin their season in one week. 2-0 down in Leipzig, back to 2-2.

27:57Then you expect the Niko Kovac team, then you expect the Dortmund team to just go to Bergamo, be disciplined, get yourself over the line. and then you are 3-1, the serve lived down, and then you got something of a stroke back there and you start doing something in injury time and then you do another stupid thing. So, I mean, as a player, you can think that, okay, it's a fantastic chance now that we are playing in our fantastic atmosphere at Signale Duna Park. We have the chance to beat Bayern. So I think that after a loss like that as a player, when you're sitting there, you think, well, we have the chance.

28:36we can beat Bayern and can somehow repair a bit of the things that happen in Italy. Players have all been there. They've had really bad games. This was a very bad game. You're looking at me. Well, you know, Villa Park, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Oh, I've been in that. But what's it like? Honestly, what's it like, though? It depends on the individual, because it's everywhere. It's like Jan says, you're the focus of the 48 hours. You've had a nightmare. You're going into another huge game. No, it really hits a player. It hit me hard, that particular incident at the FA Cup semifinal at Villa Park.

29:12And I really took that into the next league game. I think it was Aston Villa and it was at home. So I'm now, as Ben Sabayini is, he's gone out in front of his own supporters, knowing that they were watching that game in midweek where he had a horrendous game, made a few mistakes. and you can feel that frustration coming through the support and sometimes, and I know this was from my perspective, sometimes you're so keen to make amends that it's crazy to say that you try too hard. You start doing things that are not normal because you're trying to, obviously in your mind, make amends for the bad game that you had.

29:53And it wasn't the only one because if you look at Gregor Cobo there for the penalty kick, what the hell was he doing out there for a cross so he wasn't the only one but I know and there's not a player alive that hasn't had a big game there's not a player alive that hasn't made mistakes it's not happened not one sports person but it is difficult to put it the only way you can put it out of your system is to go out there and have the kind of game that you know you're capable of if you back it up with another one of those and that is possible because you're playing Archie mentioned it, particularly those attacking players around Harry Kane, you could find yourself in a real mire mentally.

30:37I know for me it was really tough mentally because you think you've let all your teammates down. You think you've cost them a cup final, you've cost them this, you've let 40 ,000 supporters down. People might think that players don't think about things like this, but they do. unless they've got no feelings at all. So it would have been a tough week for him. I'm sure he would have wanted a bit of an easier game to get back in his stride, but he hasn't got it. So it's straight back out and, you know, brush yourself down, roll your sleeves up and get on with it. But when you have a night like Ben Subaini had, then you find out about yourself when you've got to go straight back into the cauldron a few days later.

31:20Well, of course, he'll be up against one of the strongest attacks in the world at the moment. Archie mentioned it, the likes of Kane, Alisse and of course Luis Diaz who has been fantastic since making that move from Liverpool. Archie, just tell us a little bit more about that move because obviously when it happened in the summer, I don't think Liverpool fans were shedding too many tears. I'm not sure how excited Bayern Munich supporters were, but boy, he's been a great asset. He has been, Dan. And 13 goals and 13 assists in the Bundesliga, which is more than any season that Leroy Sane delivered in his five seasons at the club.

31:56And I think that's the thing is that Luis Diaz is such a team player that even if Leroy Sane had his moments at Bayern, it's just what he gives to the overall collective structure and what he brings to the party in terms of this chaos, as Vincent Kompany names it, that you look at on the other side, you've got Michael Elisse, who's a little bit more cultured in the way that he's trying to slow the game down sometimes and cut inside and there's a bit more control with that whereas with Luis Diaz sometimes you wonder does he know what he's going to do when he's getting the ball and that's the excitement to it and sometimes he will still fluff the occasional chance but for the most part he does some of the most outrageous things this goal that he scored back in November away at Union Berlin where he squeezed the ball in when Bayern had their backs up against the wall in that game.

32:45And that's the thing about this Bayern team. Even when it looks like they're in a tight corner, they find a way to squeeze themselves out of it. Serge Gnabry's been revived as well, just behind Harry Kane as well in that number 10 role. Jamal Musiala still working his way back to full fitness. And it's all of these things which contribute to this feeling that whilst I think it's difficult to place too much currency on how good Bayern have been this season in the Bundesliga because no Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen from last season and Frankfurt without Hugo Eketike and Omar Mamouch have really dropped off.

33:16I think that's why Dortmund have stepped up a touch. You still think that they are one of the best teams in Europe and have to be making their mark, not just here tomorrow, but also in the Champions League and the rest of the season. Yeah, 100 % of course. Along with Louis Steyr, you've got Harry Kane up front as well, Archie. Putting you on the spot a bit here, but if we were to ask Bayern Munich fans exactly one word to sum him up, what would that be?

33:40To sum up Luis Diaz. Sum up Harry Kane. Ignore that graphic, by the way. That's completely wrong. Those are the odds. We're running to the bookies.

33:51Harry Kane is one word that's been used to describe him. He has been magnificent for them. He is beloved because of his professionalism in front of goal, but the way he carries himself on and off the pitch, he is a guarantee for them. I realise that's quite a few more words, but brilliant, I think, is just the one. OK, then, no matter what the odds are, what are your predictions for this, Jan? I will say this is what Bayern usually do. This is going to be a statement win for them. We are up for a fantastic football game, but still think that they will win 2-1 Bayern. Where would you prefer to be, Archie, tomorrow?

34:32Tom's watch party in L.A. with Jürgen, Ali and Kaye, or on the sidelines?

34:39I love it on the sidelines, Dan. LA doesn't sound bad, but I'm happy here. Just about. Just a reminder. I was a little confused, you know, at the start, because I just automatically thought Archie was in LA, and I thought, it's not dark in LA at 2 o 'clock, is it? 2pm. Now we've got him recovered.

34:59Meanwhile, Friday night action in the Premier League today at Molyneux. Wolves, of course, down. no chance of getting back up into the Premier League this season. Aston Villa, big favourites. There's no doubt that Wolves have improved under Rob Edwards, but it's way too late. I'm strong with the lay-off, but I actually think it was a touch. I think he tries to control it for himself. He's lucky that... Is it Gomez? Gerald Gomez, right place, right time. Aston Villa were terrible. Yeah, they were. We take it into injury time here. Onana shot cleared off the line. And they've got that in them, Villa, and that's why they're probably...

35:41I mean, you mentioned at the top, I mean, it was a long shot to be in the title race, wasn't it? Because they've put too many of these games in them. But they're in a bun fight for the Champions League places. And then on the break, to Gomez's low link-up, Jao into Rodrigo. Yeah. Yeah, it gets a bit lucky here, but yeah. Villa chasing the tail all over the place. So a big Midlands derby goes Wolves way, but it's going to be too little, too little. Absolutely. Of course, Wolves are down. That was only their second win of the season. Meanwhile, at the top of the table, Aston Villa. Have they got enough credit to make sure they finish in the Champions League?

36:18Six clear on Chelsea. It is going to be tight. Very tight as well, with ten matches to go.

36:27Meanwhile, this weekend, Bournemouth Sunderland, Burnley-Brenford, Liverpool against West Ham, Newcastle against Everton. The late game is Leeds against Manchester City. The big match on Sunday, of course, sees Arsenal take on Chelsea. Arsenal at the top at the moment, obviously front runners, big favourites. Pep Guardiola was asked if he had any tips for Arteta. Hi, Pep. You've experienced yourself at Barcelona, what Mikel Arteta is going through right now, that pressure of trying to win a first league title as a manager. I just wonder, what's that pressure like? What do you remember of that time and trying to get over the line and how does that compare maybe to when you were a player going for a league championship?

37:07I don't remember. I'm not here to give advice to Michael. Well done. Jan, I know you love this. I love this. This is brilliant. Why should he answer that? I mean, these mind games that they don't say that they don't care about what the other team is doing. We focus on ourselves. We won't even watch the game. Oh, please, please, please. I mean, this is a mind game. Pep Guardiola is a symbol of the mind game just to be his former boss. You know, and Arteta will know that. He will be desperate to beat his teacher. I think I love that. I love this dramaturgy. I'm doing two games and I'm going to Allen Road tomorrow and doing Arsenal then on Sunday.

37:57And I mean, you just feel every game. It's so tense. Every mistake can kind of cost you the league title or the chance to chase after Arsenal. So I love it. Well done, Pep. And Arteta, please give us an answer in your press conference. Well, he's not going to watch Martin Odegaard playing on Sunday, is he? Wow. Yeah, Jan. Wow. He's out of the team. Did I miss something? Did that journalist ask him, is he any advice for Mikel Leteta? The bit I heard, they asked him, what does it feel like when you're in that position? Yeah, he tried to be clever, Craig. That's what he interviewed. He tried to be clever.

38:35Yeah, what does it feel like when you're in that position? And Guardiola could have went, it's a nightmare. Yeah. And he could have said, Mikel Leteta will not be. He didn't have to give him a visit. He won't be sleeping. He'll be a nightmare. Well done, Craig. I love that. I would have loved that even more. Fantastic. We're waking up in a cold sweat. What was that thing about Martin Odegaard? What was that thing? They missed Odegaard. We're going to talk about Martin Odegaard in fact in extra time. In extra time. Let's save it for them. Save it for them. You can check that out over on our YouTube channel.

39:12Meanwhile, top half of the table is Barcelona against Villarreal. Tomorrow game, of course, you can see live on ESPN+. Barca 10 points clear of Villarreal sitting in third. of course one clear of Real Madrid Craig this of course the first game we've learnt that De Jong will be out for Barcelona, huge blow as we mentioned before we were talking to the Champions League for their running via Real a weird side in that they've done well against lower opposition this season but struggled obviously well they did ok against Real Madrid at home but they're the man sent off so that sort of quelled that and they spun a few chances early on they were horrendous in the Champions League but much better in La Liga but we've seen this before when the likes of Real Betis and others face up to Barcelona or Real Madrid and you think, oh, this is going to be a big game and usually they get three or four goals put past them.

40:01But yeah, I mean, if I was Villarreal, I'd feel quite good about the fact that obviously De Jong's not there, Pedri's just come back, so he's going to be short of some fitness and you can absolutely just, game after game after game after game, you can get it that back four. So it is a potential for Barcelona to drop points. and once again that would leave the door open for this extremely mediocre Real Madrid side to hang on there in this title race so yeah that's a big game is it tomorrow that one? Tomorrow? It's a big game tomorrow that one for Hansi Flick for sure Marcus Rashford meanwhile reports are saying he's going to get a permanent deal they're going to make that move permanent of course currently on loan from Manchester United yeah I mean again I wouldn't be against that but it would be fee dependent you know what I mean I wouldn't be paying king's ransom for Marcus Rashford because we've seen this movie before, haven't we, where he's looked sharp, he's looked hungry, he's looked interested, he's done some good things and then he's fallen off a cliff when he gets what he wants.

40:58Now, he's playing for the move, obviously, and whilst he doesn't play every week, he's certainly had a big impact, as the stats would tell you there. But the worry would be is that once he gets that contract and that move, which looks like it's going to happen, are we going to see the same Marcus Rashford that we saw at Man United and he milks it in because that would be extremely disappointing because this move is he was so lucky to be able to get this opportunity off the back of his attitude and his loan spell at Aston Villa that Bassa gave him the opportunity Hansi Flick gave him the opportunity to be fair he's done well he's now the big question is can he take his career to the next level again or is he going to do what he did the last time take the money and chuck it well as you mentioned in that game live on ESPN Plus tomorrow as Barca look to extend their lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table.

41:51Madrid, of course, in action on Monday. Let's take it to the Brazilian league. Santos against Vasco da Gama. One reason we're showing you this, really, and this is Neymar, 25 minutes in... Is he going to go to the World Cup? Yes, he will. I think Ancelotti will take him. What do you mean, maybe? I said yes. Why do you have to disagree? Pete in my ear. 25 minutes. Neymar makes it 1-0. And there's the Vinicius Junior celebration. Right. Why? Well, because they're mates. Oh, they're mates, yeah. All right. Oh, they're not mates. No, they're not mates. Oh, come on. How bad was that headbutt? Just before the break, though, Baros here will make it 1-1.

42:46However, Neymar, there you go.

42:52Oh, God help me. And then Neymar though would win the game for Santos, making it 2-1 here. Oh, he's definitely going, isn't he? There you are. Definitely going. Ignore the producer in your ear. Yeah. He's definitely going. There you go. He's saying again he's not going. He's backtracking now. Backtracking. Santos 2, Vasco da Gama 1. Meanwhile, Messi in a friendly here. They're both playing in black. Yeah, everyone seems to be playing in black.

43:26See, I don't like this at all. Yeah, I know. You've said this before. I absolutely despise this. The security should be fired. Because you'd never know what can get... you know, instrument, tool, whatever somebody's got, and they come on, all of a sudden you whack a player, Messi or anybody else, you whack him over the edge, you've got some on your jeans, because, you know, some of these idiots can take things into your game, and you can't have these people running onto the field. I don't care if it's Messi or, you know, somebody that we've never heard of. This issue of people coming on, although we don't see it very often, is just utterly wrong.

44:04Now, that's it. That brings us to the end of today's show. of course a lot of action going on this weekend a classic a lot of cliches more cliches from Jan and Craig be sure to stay tuned as extra time is next

44:22welcome in then to the latest edition of extra time Jan where are you Jan is with us today I am in Manchester doing Leeds tomorrow against Manchester City and then off to London Arsenal, Chelsea. Why are you not in Leeds? Or the games at the Etihad? Because I always stay in Manchester. I have that as my base. No, the games at the... Games at the... Games at the... Games at the... Games at Illinois because they played early in the season and made a decent fist of it. Yeah. But I take one extra time at a time, so it's okay, Craig. It's points. If you want any tips on bars in Leeds, I think the gentleman next to me had fun experience there.

44:59I was in Leeds a year ago on a golf trip. Jan, I can tell you we're at a good point of Guinness. Jan, first question is about Chelsea. Arsenal, should Odegaard move away from Arsenal in the summer? If yes, what are his likely destinations? Absolutely not. He should stay. He's a very vital player in that team. I will be so clear to say if he doesn't get fit, they won't win the Premier League because I think he's very important for them to find that balance in midfield. Very important for them. So is he not playing now because he's not fit? I don't think he's 100 % fit and you have the luxury that you can play with the guys who are in there.

45:37You don't have to let him play. Can't even say Eze's name. Can't even say Eze's name. Oh, Eze, I love Eze. No, no, no, you can even say it. By the way, he can't even say it. Of course I can. He can't even admit, oh, the guy's dropped.

45:52By the way, Craig, take down your Declan Rice poster. Come on, come on. Listen, as someone who is genuinely quite excited about how Norway will play at the World Cup, because I think they're a very strong side, and we saw Bodo Glimp do something similar in the Champions League. How worried would Sol Bakken and Norway Norwegian fans be if Martin Odegaard's time was limited at Arsenal between now and the end of the season? I think we can take it so far to say, Craig, that we've been very good in the qualification to kind of cover all the weaknesses. But I think if Stolle Solbach and he will go into church every day to pray for Martin Oedegaard and Erling Haaland He is decisive.

46:36We can say we have a lot of talents going forward But we can't underestimate how important these two players are for us and Hopefully we'll be finished with his injuries now But that that is of course worrying because we are so depending on them But yeah, and what happens if Oedegaard is on the bench for the majority of games now between now and the end of the season I don't think he still plays for Norway No, he always played. I was moving on or moving back, but I was moving away from Norway. But looking at his future, would there not be part of him thinking, well, I need to move on? No, because I think, you know, that is the strength of Arsenal.

47:10I mean, you feel that there is some bonds between these players. And Martin is a very important player there. And this season has been a bit injuries. Remember, this kid started when he was 15. He has already had a very long career. He's played all over the place and at the moment it seems that he doesn't get that out of his system. But he has his future at Arsenal, so I don't think there's any chance that he will believe in his summer. He loves it to be at Arsenal. How many English teams reach the quarterfinals? More or less than three, Jan. Oh, then we have to remember the bracket. Okay, so...

47:49Who's Tottenham got? Tottenham got Atleti. Yeah, they're going out. They're going out. Oh, here we go. This is really helpful. What a big mess. Right. Arsenal, Liverpool have got Galatasaray. Why didn't you just show the graphic? That would have been the bracket. That would have been a lot easier than this. Arsenal. Arsenal is one. We know who the favourites are. We want to see who's playing who. We want a reminder, not this. Okay. Are you talking about... I'm talking to producer Pete. Okay. I thought you were talking to your wife. I would definitely not speak to her like that yet. If we talk to the staff, here we go, here we go.

48:30Because we could have had the chance that we have Chelsea and Liverpool in the quarter-finals. I say we get two teams. Just two? Yeah. Arsenal and Liverpool?

48:46Yes. Arsenal and Liverpool. Arsenal and Liverpool. We'll go there. I think we get three. I think Man City squeaked through. Okay. against them do you think so yeah I mean you know we're watching Real Madrid every week and covering the Liga and they are they are not they have not I mean they've got Mbappe and Vinicius is playing a bit better but you should have I don't know if you saw the Benfica game again they were yeah I saw that yeah they were kind of a little fortunate in that game again so yeah that's a very tight one Liverpool have played Galatasaray already this season that was the Sabozlai penalty that he gave away I can't remember what the score was, but just because of the way Liverpool are playing, that game isn't a foregone conclusion.

49:31I know Galatasaray are a great side, even though they beat Inter. They're not. But Liverpool have been pretty bad this year, haven't they? Yes. Yeah. No, I think Liverpool will get better and better. I think Liverpool will knock out Galatasaray. I saw them against Juventus. I mean, the first game, they had a kind of flow with that home game. There wasn't a 5-2 game, but still, I think Liverpool would be OK. Curious as to what the guys think. With the World Cup on the horizon, did Craig have that in the back of his mind for the first few months of the regular season? Did it impact your decisions to play?

50:09Did you look after yourself more, basically? No, because we were under that pressure cooker of going for a title. and it just so happened to put the year that Rangers were going for a historic 10th title in a row so the supporters were frothing at the mouth because it was going to make history and not in Celtic's favour and it went to the last game of the season so there was no there was no time for rest or feeling sorry for yourself because it was all hands to the pump simple as that plus we won the League Cup that year we got to the semi-final the Scottish Cup we played in Europe in the UEFA Cup against Liverpool so it was a busy year but as much as you do think about injuries when you're playing under that pressure you know the weekend the midweek the weekend again and you're all in it because they're breathing down your neck so you don't you don't have time to say Gafford do you mind if I have a rest for a couple of weeks because you're under so much pressure at your club yeah and where were you ahead of the World Cup.

51:15Yeah, I will say because I was struggling in Swindon, we were in the Premier League and I was desperate for us to be a part of the 1994 World Cup and this is the 1993-94 season. So I was not playing regularly for Swindon Town at that time. So I arranged to go alone back to Norway because I knew I had to play to even be in the squad. I mean, because we had a national coach, there was no chance that he would give any free passenger going over there. So, and then just, I signed a deal with Lillestrom, and then I scored against Ipswich at the FA Cup, and then I scored against Tottenham in the Premier League, and the thing worked out, and I had to cancel that contract back in Norway.

51:59But as Craig is saying, the only thing maybe that you, the injury, you can't think of that, because you're on or off. If you think of injuries, you will be injured. That is a clear thing when you go into that. But maybe you look after yourself even more. I was quite good at doing that, but maybe when you're in a season like this, you know that at the end of the road there is this highlight of World Cup. Maybe you're looking even more after yourself. I just did a quick count there of what I would have said would have been, as a general rule of thumb, the starting XI for Celtic. Nine of them went to the World Cup.

52:35Right. Not all with Scotland. Yeah. Reaper and Vikos went with Denmark. Yeah, we don't need the list. Yeah, I'll give you the list. All right, I don't know. It was nine of the eleven in the general week. Went to the World Cup. There you go. What are the two best Champions League matches on the same day at the same time? Yeah, what's happening with them? So, Real Madrid and City and Paris and Chelsea are both on Wednesday at the same time. Which just... But it's all money, isn't it, Jan? Isn't it all money? It's probably money, but it's funny because we used to have the draws and every round have the draws.

53:07And now when you do the draws, you hear this... Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. It's like Star Wars sound back in the 70s and 80s. And we have no clue how they kind of do this. And of course, that's not good. You like to have spread over the day because you want to enjoy them. But I guess money got a thing to do with it. Because they want it in prime time. That's what it is. Imagine the playoffs. Imagine the NFL playoffs, two games playing at the same time. It's just ridiculous. They never do that. Of course not.

53:36They split the times, don't they? Absolutely. Not just the days. Yeah, because maybe people want to watch both of these matches instead of having to choose one. Yeah, yeah. But there we are. That's never going to change because they want to make the most money. Jan, Bodo lost the league title to Vikings by one point in the recently finished domestic season. Does that mean Vikings are the greatest football team of all time? Vikings is the best team in the world. Imagine how much they would have won against Inter. Yeah. Imagine if they got Sporting in Lisbon. It would have been 5-0. I mean, that is unbelievable.

54:08with a borderline, it's not even the best team we're having. For the first time in a thousand years, we're going to send that out to Vikings again, and we know what happened then. We conquer the world. What's happened to Rosenberg? As somebody who doesn't really look at the Norwegian league table, do you remember Rosenberg used to be the team that had these great Champions League results, and then people used to sort of henpeck their players? Yeah, for those who don't remember, they played in the Champions League 11 or 12 seasons. They had a coach called Nils-Anne Eggen, which was a legendary Norwegian coach.

54:45And a bit like Manchester United or Werder Bremen with Otto Rehagel, a manager is staying there forever. And then you, what, should we go for a copy? Should we go for the total different thing? And then slowly they're losing games, they're losing money, and then they want to go back to the philosophy. Just a fun fact, Bordegliemter and Rosenborg are very similar in the way they play. It's also similar in the way that there are nine of 11 players are Norwegians and just one and a half, maybe two players of them, will play for the national team, as was Rosenborg. And the last fun fact, every Rosenborg player that went abroad, except Jorn Karev, who had good success when he went abroad, they didn't have success abroad.

55:33And that's the same with the Bordecai players because they're so into this way of playing, I think. You see the captain Patrick Berg went to France and played there for five and a half minutes and coming back and now playing Champions League. Same with Haugge, went to AC Milan, winning the Europa League with Frankfurt. So they are gone. Well, I was telling Daniel there, when we signed Harold Bratwijk, he was scoring a lot of goals for Rosenberg. And he did okay at Celtic, but then you're not even known this one. He scored the side of your goal, didn't he, Craig? Yeah, that was that season I was talking about, the last game of the season.

56:08He did score that goal, so he'll be remembered for that. I played with a lot of Norwegian players. There was another one, Bjorn Otto-Bragstad. Wow, yeah. Rosemorgaswell. Here we go. Alright. Oh my God, all the Norwegian. Okay, last question. Let's go on. Should you stumble upon a DeLorean that can go back in time, which year would you be returning to? Would you do 98? What do you mean? Football or life? So you can go back to any year you want. 98, World Cup, Celtic. That's a good year. That was a good year. Yeah? That was a very good year. Yes? That was a very, very good year. Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm thinking.

56:45I thought you might like to go back to it. 1971. Why? I was one.

56:53You've grown your first teeth. You're excited. Didn't last long. Jan? Well, there wasn't one. I think it was the 1996 season when we went from Middlesbrough, when we came there, the optimism, going from Ayrson Park, going into Riverside Stadium. First game of the season, we beat Chelsea 2-0. I scored a Buss-Aldring goal. I was the second one. And it was a fantastic time and we got all the players in. We got Juninho in. And then, unfortunately, we got Ravanelli in and then I was off. But that is another story. I was leaving there. But going back to that period, that was a fantastic time. Yeah, very good.

57:33All right, great stuff. They're going up, Borough. They are going up. Yeah, but at two home games, I couldn't win. All right, there you go. Yeah. Okay. 1999, I think I'll go back to. First year of university. That was a lot of fun. Oh. Or 2005, first year in Madrid. That was also a lot of fun. That's it. That brings us to the end of today's show. ESPN FC returns tomorrow. I should stay there. Well, there we are.
