0:38One from the mouth of Bruno Fernandes, an exclusive interview this morning giving a big hint about his destination next season and what he expects of himself and Manchester United. We'll talk about that and is Bruno Fernandes actually walking into a Glazer trap again? Will his career be defined by trusting the Glazers and missing out on the big prizes. A very interesting statement from Bruno Fernandes. We'll talk about that in a moment. Also, Jan Diamonde scored again yesterday for Leipzig. Is he now becoming mission impossible for Manchester United? Leipzig, like Manchester United, looking like they're heading back into European football in the Champions League.

1:15What does that do for the price of Diamonde? Would Manchester United be willing to spend up to£100 million on a winger of that quality? We'll talk about that as well. A couple of other bits I want to get into. Also a warning from David Ornstein around Liverpool's transfer activities this summer. If Liverpool are going to buy more players than us this summer, and we're already starting technically from behind Liverpool, how do you ever close a gap? How do you ever close a gap? We'll talk about that as well. But let's start off with Bruno Fernandes. A quite thorough interview with The Times that's come out this morning, talking about United's issues, himself as a player.

1:53But more importantly, we're going to start off with what Bruno Fernandes has had to say about his ambitions and expectations at Manchester United. And by proxy, whether he'll be staying at Manchester United next season. He had this to say, what I always say to the club is you cannot promise me I'm going to win the Premier League. That's impossible. But if you promise me we're going to be competitive, that's all I need to know. Then it's on me to become the best version of myself to help everyone around to then become the club we want to be. So I've seen some reaction to this online. Some people say it's very vague.

2:30Some people are saying it doesn't necessarily mean he's staying. I think what it says is that he allows himself to be manipulated by the Glazers because he is not really talking necessarily about next year. He's talking about the last however many years he's been at the club because he says, what I always say to the club is you cannot promise me the Premier League. But what I want to be promised is that we're going to be competitive. And that's all I need to know. Well, if you look at the time that Bruno Fernandes has been at Man United, I wouldn't argue that we've been competitive. I really wouldn't.

3:02And if that is the promise that he's waiting for from Manchester United, then I suppose that's music to our ears because I think he definitely will stay. I think there's an element of naivety there, if I'm speaking honestly. if he only needs to be told by Wilcox and the Glazers and Ineos that we're going to be competitive next season then more fool him when we're not if we're not because I mean he's had Ten Hag he's had Amorim he was who was he signed by Bruno? I think he was he was signed by Oli so he's had three managers where no doubt he's been told every single summer that we're going to be competitive and ultimately we haven't been I don't class fighting for fourth as competitive I don't class winning a Carabao Cup as competitive and everybody wanted to sack Ten Hag after he won the FA Cup.

3:47So we're not going to define finishing eighth and winning an FA Cup where you want to sack your manager as being competitive. So it's a really interesting insight into Bruno. And look, I maybe wrongly thought he would say this summer, I want you to go and buy players that are going to make us compete for the big prizes in the next year or two. It doesn't sound like that's what he does say. It sounds like he says, give me a team that can be competitive and I'll go out there and do my best. And when you look at this team this year, I don't think it's competitive. I think if you take Bruno Fernandes out of this team, I don't care how good you think Carrick or Holland is or how intense we were under Amrim.

4:26You take Bruno Fernandes out of this team this season, I'm saying mid-table. I don't see a team beyond Bruno that's capable of being where it is at the moment. and we can wax lyrical about multiple players, managers, coaching systems, formations. We can talk about what we like, but the bottom line is you take Bruno Fernandes out of this team and it's a mid-table team. It's no better than Newcastle. It's no better than Fulham. It's Bruno Fernandes that makes this team competitive. So when has Bruno ever been told the truth by this club? If he is sat there saying, all I want is a promise that we're going to be competitive and then I will be the best version of me.

5:03I don't think we have ever been that competitive. I don't think we've ever built a team that's competitive around him. I think predominantly this is a guy that over the last six years has more assists than anybody and is one of the top assist makers in Premier League history. If he had a competitive team around him, it goes to, I mean, it's logical. If you put Bruno Fernandes in a competitive team, I expect a challenge for the Premier League because I've got one of the best creators in the world game. So is Bruno a little bit naive? Probably, yeah. Do I think he'll sign a contract? Yes, because I think if he is somebody that is not actually asking for a team that's going to win the league, he's just asking for a team that will be competitive and he stayed here for six years and he thinks that's a competitive team, then I think he probably will stay.

5:50But I would say I don't think they've ever built a competitive team around you at all. So what Bruno defines as competitive probably isn't the same as what most of us define as competitive because a competitive team with Bruno Fernandes in it would be a team, in my opinion, that challenges for the top prizes. I don't think we've ever had that. I don't think we have. But it bodes well for the summer because he's not actually saying, I want them to go and build a team that can fight for the Premier League. He just wants a team that's competitive. And by definition, I suppose competitive is you can beat anybody on your day and you can lose to anybody on your day.

6:27And we're definitely that. We're definitely that. You go back to Van Gaal, Jose, Oli, Amirim, Ten Hag. We've always been able to beat a team on our day. We've always had the win at the Etihad or a win at the Emirates. I mean, remember De Gea at the Emirates? That was Mourinho. Remember the Etihad under Mourinho? So we've always had the ability to beat anybody on our day. Conversely, we've always had the get beat at home by Palace. We get stuffed away to Liverpool. So I think that is competitive. It's a word I don't like, actually. I don't actually like it. I'm not digging out Bruno. I think it's a reflection on what the Glazers have done to Manchester United Football Club.

7:15Not just our fans, not just our ex-players, but also our current players. They all seem, when they've been indoctrinated, to talk the same nonsense. It's about being competitive. I don't think we are competitive. I think the definition of a Real Madrid or a Manchester United, a Man City now, a Liverpool now, a Bayern Munich, competitive for those clubs is fighting for the title. That's competitive. so when the captain of the club is saying I cannot ask the club that we're gonna win the Premier League but if we're gonna be competitive that's all I need to know and that's the captain of Man United because the definition of Man United and the standards of Man United is that we should be competing for the title but our captain's now saying that's not realistic I just want to be competitive and the definition of that is the last six years and that's enough for Bruno the captain of the club, it's enough for him for us to fight for fifth.

8:12And that's where we are as a football club, you know? So look, I think he's going to stay. I had hoped he was going to stay on the condition that we'd actually buy some decent players. We'll have to wait and see. But a really interesting insight to Bruno. He also goes on to say that we need to be consistent. We understand there's no time to rest, no time to disconnect. To understand that in a full league, every point matters every small deal tales will make a difference being good in the whole season is much more difficult to do and that's something we haven't done um um in my second season we were good till january under ollie and then we fell away and city came up and put their foot down so um i mean look you know he's speaking absolutely clearly there you know we do need to be competitive week in week out we've never managed that and i don't think we ever will manage that because i think you need to build a squad to do that in the modern game um you know we would have to add a lot of players to the team and it's interesting actually because that's a good segue into what david ornstein has said this morning about liverpool he said there are signings coming no doubt they feel they need three or four first team players uh for them to be really competitive again uh we know they're going to go for wide players because of salah's departure and also diaz wasn't replaced so that'll be high on the agenda.

9:27So Liverpool Football Club are going to look for three to four first-team players this summer. And that's from David Ornstein, one of the best football journalists in the world. So Liverpool, who won the league last year, who spent close to half a billion last year, are going to buy three or four first-team players this summer. So this is what I mean as well. We do get locked into our competitive, oh, we're going to qualify for the Champions League, oh, give it to Carrick, oh, give Maguire a new contract. I mean, this to me is all unambitious. It's all papering the cracks. The reality is I'm hearing that Chelsea are going for Murillo at Forest, a centre-back that I think United should be looking at.

10:10We know Man City are going to go hard again. We now know Liverpool are going to go hard again. Arsenal are looking at people like Julian Alvarez at Atletico Madrid. everyone around us is going to not stand still and at the moment we're letting Rio Ferdinand talk about United only need three or four signings this summer and Carrick should be the manager and I think where we might make a massive mistake here is that we need a good manager and eight players non-negotiable and if we buy three or four and we get the manager wrong Liverpool are probably going to buy four first team players Arsenal will probably buy another three Man City will probably buy another three or four.

10:48Chelsea certainly will get some players in as well. If we don't get this summer transfer window right, competitive might be fighting for fifth again. And I think we have to be in the Champions League next year. Do we need to get real with the left wing options? Diamonde isn't going to happen. Morgan Rodgers isn't right. Maybe it has to be NGIA. Who else could it be? Marks is Simon Moss. I think this is a great question. I'll come back to some of the Bruno comments, but I think this is a great question and it's a super chat and I wanted to bring this in early into the show as well. Because I'm a little bit early today because I've got to go and watch some football.

11:20SK Visuals with another super chat says, I'm convinced Carrick's already got the job. What interim does this many interviews? Yeah, I think we all know the club's shite, mate. I mean, look, if Carrick gets the job, I'll back him. But I've said it multiple times this week. We're run by idiots and they're not even going to interview other managers. And I think that's a disgrace. Give Carrick the job, I'll back him. But to give him the job without interviewing anybody else is idiotic. idiotic and you know we've all watched the last six weeks of man united the football's not even been that good i mean we got absolutely destroyed by 10 men newcastle we were very lucky against palace because they got a man's sense off we drew against bournemouth when we should have beat them i don't even think that i don't even think the results are good i don't even think the football's been that good but they're going to give it to him 100 but going back to the left back thing from simon i was going to talk about yan diamonde this morning um what do what do we do about the left wing is, I mean, Simon's asking me, I'm now asking you, what do we do about the left wing situation?

12:16So as things stand in the Bundesliga, it's looking really good for Leipzig. They are on 56 points. Top four will get Champions League football. They're four points clear of fifth. And they're nicely settled in now into the top four. Now, they weren't in Europe at all last year, like us. they've brought this player in Jan Diamande it's his first year at Leipzig in the Bundesliga he's done really really well he's got Leipzig wanting to keep him he's got United looking at him he's got Liverpool looking at him we've held a lot of talks we've got good connections into Leipzig because of Favell but the last few weeks it's starting to drift I think when we didn't get Semenu we went for Diamande and we have put a lot of work into it and we've expressed our interest we had good contacts and the issue is now is that Leipzig are now the strongest position because they can say to Diamande, you've only been with us a year.

13:15You're playing every week. You go into the World Cup with the Ivory Coast. You come straight back to Leipzig in a team that you know where next season will go in the blink of an eye, but you'll be playing Champions League football with us. We're going to be a strong team next season because we're going to be a year older. And then next summer, you can go. And I think that's the most likely option for Diamande now. it almost makes sense to stay at Leipzig for another year. Leipzig desperately want him to stay for another year because they want 80 to 100 million pounds. And can they get that this summer?

13:47Maybe not. Can they get that next summer after another year where he's played in the Champions League? Probably yes. So it feels like Diamande is becoming more and more difficult. Also, Liverpool do need to buy two wingers, so they might go big for him as well. So it is drifting away from Man United. I wouldn't sit here and say it's definitely off, But I am seeing some United fans saying we can't spend 80, 90, 100 million pounds and get into a bidding war for somebody who has had one good season in the Bundesliga, hasn't played in the Champions League yet, and is currently only 19. so even people in our fan base are starting to say we can't do that so i wouldn't say it's off with diamante because i know for a fact we put a lot of work into it but it is becoming more difficult almost almost because leipzig have done what we've done like if we'd had a bad season this year and we weren't in the champions league then bruno fernandez would probably go and if leipzig had had a season where they'd finished sixth and didn't get in the champions league i think diamante would go but they're doing what we're doing they're going to be in the champions league next year so i think diamante becomes very difficult i agree morgan rogers see it feels like morgan rogers is carrick because he had him at middlesbrough and i think morgan rogers is a fantastic player but i don't think he fits in to what we're trying to do at man united and and not for 100 million pounds i think it's too much of a risk to buy morgan rogers and put him on the left wing um 100 million pounds um i do like the everton lad i can't pronounce his name and dear I do like him, but I think Everton are having a fantastic season themselves.

15:26They had another good result yesterday. They could be in European football and they don't need to sell. So they probably want 70, which is a lot of money. And I don't think United would want to pay that. Also, I don't think they want to get into negotiations with Everton. So you're almost in a position where Semenyu was plan A.

15:50Diamande was definitely plan B Morgan Rodgers and Dia could be plan C So in a key position We're down to plan D again And we've got to stop doing this We have to stop doing this So I don't know what we do at left wing Answers in the comments I don't know what we do at left wing Because Semenyu was plan A Diamande was plan B you can argue it's Rodgers or Ndia for plan C and D I mean we're down to plan E already again and I think that yeah Somerville at West Ham's interesting but I always worry when you get down to plan D and E that we're meant to be closing gaps here not taking risks and plan D and E are always going to be risks now Sesco was a bit of a risk he's not even starting I like Sesco and I think it's worked well but he's not starting is he he's not starting every game Carrick won't start him So this is what I mean about plan D and E.

16:47They're not necessarily the guy that goes straight in the team, are they? They might be one for the future. There might be an element of risk. And I think that left wing is quite an important position for us. Fortunately, we do have Dorgue. And I do believe Dorgue can play that position. We've obviously got Gabriel and Lacey who could be coming through as well. But that's almost doing the Glazers work, isn't it? Well, we don't need to buy a left winger now because we've got Dorgiel, we've got Lacey and we've got Gabriel. We can't be that club either. We can't be the club that goes, well, let's not spend anything and let's stick with what we've got.

17:19I think you have to go and spend money. And I do feel like Diamande is drifting more towards staying at Leipzig or potentially going to Liverpool than us, because I think Liverpool will go hard this summer, certainly. Mark Knight says, do you think Seska will start tomorrow? I mean, you know, it's Carrick, isn't it? We've not played in what feels like six months. I'm very excited about it. Obviously, you can watch the Gold Devils tomorrow night at five o 'clock on my channel, and then we'll be here for the United game at eight. So make sure you're supporting both. But I'm very excited about tomorrow night because we haven't seen Man United play a game in a long time.

18:00It's always good to smash leads, and we do normally smash leads at Old Trafford. Will he start Sesco? I'd be a liar if I said one way or the other I mean I don't I mean he doesn't start Sesco when he should start him but then he will start him when you think he's not going to start him I mean if he starts Sesco he's got to drop Embuemo or Ahmad and that seems to be a real issue for Carrick so I would not be surprised if the front three is Kunja, Embuemo and Ahmad if I'm being completely honest and we continue down this road of I really like him, but he's not, you know, he's one for the future.

18:41Yildiz, Mark. I mean, Yildiz at Juventus would be a lot cheaper and has done very, very well. I've got to be honest. I have been rather absent in watching the Italian league this season. I mean, I've loved the Italian league since Italia 90, so many, many years, even if I just watch the highlights. I've been really absent this year I've not really watched a lot even the highlights I just haven't so I think with Yildiz I always hear good things described as an electric winger and very good in the one-on-one and has got goals but it's the Italian league isn't it and I think that's that's maybe very difficult Sebi says what about El Mala from Cologne good player would be a young player but he's a good player Somerville at West Ham is interesting look can I just say this yes I can you know who we should be going for Anthony Gordon and and you know why we won't go for Anthony Gordon because it's too expensive I mean that's the sort of signing you make if you want to be serious as a football club like that is a left winger who is Premier League proven who is defensively really really solid and also can get your goals and assists.

20:01And that's where Liverpool and Arsenal are looking. So Anthony Gordon, to me, would be absolutely perfect. But we won't do that type of deal because it's too expensive. But I think he's not even on our list as a left winger. And yet he absolutely is. I mean, this is where Man United sort of contradicts themselves because they'll say we're not signing Bruno Guimaraes, even though he's absolutely perfect because he's over 26. and then with Anthony Gordon, you've got a player who's only just turned 25. I mean, he was 24 a month ago. He's only just turned 25 and is a Premier League proven England international left winger who is probably going to be on the move from Newcastle this summer and that's where we should be going.

20:51But we won't even consider that because that's not how we go. I think with Liao at Milan, that feels like a massive flop waiting to happen um i know that's harsh but i feel like leal is a flop waiting to happen um i don't know how he how old he is now but you know he doesn't he doesn't even start for portugal that often he's 26 he's 27 in the summer um that just feels like a flop um i wouldn't i wouldn't do that a lot of people saying gordon's overrated i get that but i don't think he is i think he'd be very good in a man united shirt And I think that the way he plays and the effort he puts in, I think he would be a fan favorite very, very quickly.

21:36Yeah. Let me just read some more of what Bruno said. He says, I don't think my qualities as a player have changed over the years. Every year that goes past, I get a better understanding of the game and a better understanding of what I should do less and what I should do more. So that's the more complete I talk about, says Bruno. So he says he's turning into a more complete player. he said as players we have that expectation when we come to Manchester United it doesn't change I know people will think you're going to get more money you're going to get better contracts no you come to Man United because you want to win trophies because money you can get anywhere a lot of clubs in the Premier League pay well a lot of clubs in Italy Spain they will pay you a lot but you come to the club because of the history because of what you want to achieve and what you think you can achieve I mean that's a great statement but you've been here for six years mate and what have you achieved other than being one of the best attacking midfielders in the game unfortunately you haven't achieved a lot because most players do not share your opinion I think Bruno completely shares that opinion I think he came to Man United because of the history because he wants to win things he wants to achieve things at Manchester United but there's no way we've got a squad of 15 that share that view that's the problem I think there are players that come to Man United for the status they come here for the contract they come here for the money they don't come in for the reason that Bruno's come because if if every player came to Man United with the attitude that Bruno Fernandes has in relation to I came here because it's Man United the history it wasn't about the money would be absolutely fine and this is a brilliant interview from Bruno Fernandes because it's just reflective of the person he is but he can't speak for every other player because they're not doing that Bruno players don't come to Man United because it's Man United in the history we can clearly see that over the last six years we're not competitive we don't fight for the big prizes we don't even qualify for the Champions League every year and if everybody came to Man United with that attitude that you have we would be in the Champions League every year but we don't have that we don't have that mentality it's been the biggest problem for years we just cannot replicate that type of personality that Brune Fernandes has, which is why he's always our best player, because nobody else actually falls into that.

23:51Would you take Iriola at Manchester United manager, Mark? No, no. And I think you have to be very, very careful. Look, I think Marco Silva plays really, really good football. But we saw against Liverpool yesterday, they lost. I think Iriola plays really good football. And we saw against Arsenal yesterday, Bournemouth won. Is Iriola better than Silva because he beat Arsenal and Silva didn't? I don't actually think he is. I think Fulham looked a little bit like they hadn't played for three and a half weeks yesterday. And Arsenal looked terrified and Bournemouth were brilliant. It was a bad day for Fulham.

24:25It was a great day for Bournemouth. I don't think Iriola or Marco Silva or Glasner are ready for the Man United job. I don't think they're ready for that sort of job. And anybody that thinks they are, you've got to understand that there is a poison around Manchester United and it's called the media. and as much as they would applaud Iriola getting the job in the first couple of months, the minute there's a bad result, the players won't fancy him, they won't like his training methods, they're training them too hard, they don't want to train in the dark, he's out of ideas, he's losing the dressing room, he hasn't got the respect of the players.

25:11It can't be that. It can't be that. The Manchester United manager has to be somebody with significant experience and aura that they can deal with our media, or it will be Carrick. But it can't be a Marco Silva. It can't be an Areola. It can't be that type of manager because they'll get swallowed up and spat out very, very quickly by the mainstream media who will not give them time. And the difference between fans and the media is that we're fans and we can be quite harsh, but ultimately it's about the betterment of the club. The thing about the media is they almost have stories that they need to predict.

25:54So they will already know at the start of next season, out of the top six clubs, they need one manager that's going to be sacked before Christmas because that's going to make them lots and lots of stories.

26:08and I think that, you know, Iriola, I'm not saying he's like Moyes, but it's that type of inexperienced manager that's done well at an unfashionable Premier League club and I think that would become problematic, yeah. We can't take the... I think Iriola plays much better football than most managers in the Premier League and it would be nice to see at Man United, but I just don't think he'd be a... I just don't think United can... Look, Amrim, look at what happened with Amrim. Amorim played good football at Sporting look at what happened with him Ten Hag played good football at Ajax look at what happened with him I think Iriola falls into that category I think Amorim and Ten Hag are a little bit like Iriola hipster managers that will not be given the time at United we've got to be look the reason I say Enrique and the reason I say Nagelsmann is because they have got CVs that hold up to scrutiny it makes me laugh how many people in the comments who don't want Nagelsmann to say, he's no better than Amirim.

27:05He's got no experience. Somebody actually put in the comments the other day, Nagelsmann's CV is no better than Carrick's. And I had to reply and I went, Nagelsmann took over a relegation-threatened Hoffenheim for his first job and took them into the Champions League. He then went to Leipzig, took them to a Champions League semi-final and finished second in the Bundesliga. He then went to Bayern Munich, where he actually won the league and now he's managing the German national team. that is significantly better than being sacked by Middlesbrough in the championship and it's also better than most managers in European football he has a very good CV there's this myth around Nagelsmann that he doesn't have a decent CV he does and it's a very broad CV it's not just Leipzig it's a very broad CV and also it's a very adaptable CV tactically so he is experienced obviously Enrique won't happen but would be the dream but we can't go in my opinion we can't go for an Areola or a Marco Silva it would be a mess Mar Charter says I like your channel but Leeds are getting all three you need all three but you won't get them York 1987 has been a member for 67 months you're a legend sir thank you very much okay I've run over a little bit because it's 5 past 10 I've got to get over to football in a minute but

28:24Barcelona must have a decent left wing in the youth season long loan included in Rashford loan. Rashford scored again last night. I heard people talking about Rashford not coming back to Manchester United in the summer. He can't come back to Man United, by the way. Talk about the media. He can't come back to Manchester United. He can't come back to Manchester. Rashford cannot come back to Manchester. That would be an absolute distraction for him, the new manager, the team, the fans. He can't come back. He doesn't want to come back he wants to stay at Barcelona and hopefully he'll get that but he scored last night um Barcelona are just a ruthless football club you can respect it you can dislike it I wish we were run like Barcelona I mean I don't like the debts but they are a ruthless football club they don't piss about you know if if we had um if we had I mean look we've just given 33 year old Maguire a new contract on the same terms Barcelona might not keep Rashford who's actually had a good year for them and he's available for 25 million pounds they're ruthless they don't care um that's the mentality of a club that is obsessed with winning football matches um not balancing the balance sheet so but i mean rashford's doing all right at barcelona but he can't come back it'd be a bloody nightmare absolute nightmare um for him i think the scrutiny would be massive I mean, the media aren't going to let up.

29:48Yeah, I think it would be a huge mistake.

29:54Look, we don't, you know what? I'll say this and I'll say this before. There's a lot of people that don't want Carrick and there's a lot of people that do want Carrick. I would say this. You haven't got a bloody clue what Carrick wants to do in the summer. None of you have. I don't know what he wants to do. We've got no idea who he wants in the midfield. We've got no idea what he wants to do with Rashford. We've got no idea what his back four is going to be. No one's actually got a clue what Carrick's vision is. He might want to sign Morgan Rodgers. He might want to sign Belaber. He might want to bring Rashford back.

30:22We don't know what Carrick wants to do. And people are singing, let's give it to Carrick. Just because he's won a few games as an interim, no one's got a bloody clue what he wants. He might want to buy Stiller. He might want to buy Scott. And he might want to buy Tenali. He might want to do loads of good. He might want to do loads of bad. We don't actually know what Carrick wants to do, despite lots of people wanting him to get the job. As an interim, he's done fantastically well. We've got no idea what he wants to do long term. Does he want to play like this with Steve Holland for the next year?

30:52I mean, God help us if he does, but we don't know anything. Check what Ganacho said on Man United exit on Sky. I've spoken about Ganacho two days ago, Hamoud. I'm not going to keep talking about Ganacho. If you want to forgive and forget with Ganacho, absolutely fine. He walked around in a Villa shirt. He fucked it up at Man United. He's a Chelsea player now. Carry on with your career. Don't look back. The door is shut. We're Manchester United. If he messed up and he realised he messed up, fair play. Get on with your career. But we don't need to look back. For me, that's a little bit like Rashford.

31:25That's in the rearview mirror. I ain't looking back at Ganacho. If he has apologised or whatever, great. but he wasn't apologetic in the summer when he was acting like a dick was he he wasn't apologetic in the summer when we were getting leaks about Chelsea or a better club and he'll sit on the bench to get his dream move and he'll walk around in a villa shirt you know I don't wish him all the best because he plays for a rival but you know what if he's finally growing up a little bit fair play but it's in the path it's in the past isn't it um anyway uh I think Man United are trying to decide whether they're committing to a long-term rebuild or chasing short-term fixes with this managerial move says it's only Eric and the board don't know what they're doing either says UK Darren fan that's probably part of the problem yeah today today today so I'm on that's football today two o 'clock we've got Villa against Forest that's a big game for us because it's Champions League centric half past four it's Chelsea against Man City which again is Champions League centric for us so we'll be live for both of those games whilst also keeping an eye on the two o 'clock involving Sunderland and Spurs, De Zerbi's first game and then we're back on here at eight o 'clock.

32:36Thanks everyone for tuning in, quick whirlwind show this morning, a little bit early I know but lots to get your teeth into there if you didn't watch it live. I'll speak to you on the next one, take care.
