1:23
To the near corner, oh, it's a terrific
1:25
finish. They are going to be incredibly difficult
1:27
to shake off. And then he goes on
1:29
the underlap and he picks it up. Squares
1:31
it to the centre and the mob is
1:33
there to tuck it in. Two from three
1:36
for the drop. Maybe Champions League places not
1:38
confirmed yet for Aston Villa. Some with a
1:40
shot deflected and in. It's
1:43
yet another late, late show in North
1:45
London. And now for far inside the
1:47
area, tucks it round the keeper and
1:49
finally have a second. We're really looking
1:51
forward to the end of the season
1:53
and we hope you can join us
1:56
on the Talksport Network. Yeah,
2:01
Top Sport are bringing you game day today
2:03
with live coverage of Fulham against Man City
2:05
and Top Sport 2 brings
2:07
you Spurs against Burnley who both find
2:09
themselves on the verge of the top
2:11
four and of course relegation. Let's hear
2:14
from Big Ange and Big Vinnie about
2:16
both clubs prospects. Finishing fourth and
2:19
getting to the Champions League does not make you
2:21
a Champions League club in my opinion. It just
2:23
gives you an opportunity to be in there. To me to
2:25
be a Champions League club, what I
2:28
mean by that is at that level requires
2:30
more than just finishing fourth in one year
2:32
as far as I'm concerned it means and
2:35
do I believe right now we're a Champions
2:37
League football club? No we're not. That's my
2:39
honest belief. I think we need, as I
2:41
keep saying, we've still got work to do.
2:43
If it happened that Forest wasn't our last
2:45
game of the season I think
2:48
it'd probably be totally unlikely but just
2:50
the fact that it is the last
2:52
game of the season then you start
2:54
looking at what's happening this weekend and
2:57
Forest have lost games before this season it
2:59
happens they're a good team but they have
3:01
lost games like every team in the Premier
3:03
League. Lew and I have done
3:05
exceptional but they have lost games as well this
3:07
season so you know there's no guarantees for the
3:09
weekend of who's going to win and who's going
3:11
to lose and then we go away at Spurs
3:14
so it's a tough opponent they're obviously they've got
3:17
the players and then there's a reason why they are
3:19
where they are in the league but again it's football
3:21
and then before you know it you're filled with
3:24
confidence again and like I said I live
3:26
as well with this idea that we're a
3:28
team that's alive in that sense you know
3:30
we're a club that's alive so it doesn't
3:32
stop and start with the next game it
3:34
doesn't stop and start with the next two
3:36
games and yeah it's an exciting place to
3:38
be at. It's all sport daily. Now
3:42
let's head back to the tart race and
3:44
Miquel Arteser is confident ahead of the season's
3:46
finish. My brain always talk me to
3:49
the place where we are lifting the Premier League
3:51
that's what my brain is doing at the moment
3:53
so I just follow my brain and my gut
3:55
and this is how I feel and
3:57
this is as well the way that I want everybody
3:59
to think and hopefully we can
4:01
achieve it. Well what does Arsenal
4:03
unbeatable Ray Parler think of their
4:05
chances? It's all about having partnerships
4:08
Al, it's all about getting used
4:10
to you playing alongside Ben White
4:12
and Saka's been excellent on the
4:14
right hand side and you've got
4:16
Saliba you mentioned now, young player and Gabriel
4:19
have been absolutely brilliant. Suus and a half,
4:21
he's stayed fit this season, Oleg
4:23
Gard is, when I
4:25
watch them against Chelsea, the
4:27
vision he's got, it's Denis Burghout's
4:30
birthday today, very not as
4:33
good as Denis probably but the
4:35
vision he shows, you can see very very
4:37
similar to what Denis used to do for
4:40
our team and
4:42
Rice has been probably someone in the season,
4:44
there's no doubt about that because he's just
4:46
fitted in perfectly. I guess I don't
4:48
know the picture, he's amazing how much a grass he comes out of
4:50
there. I
4:52
can imagine Parle table play, Al Trafford and that
4:54
gives him a licence to get forward, so now
4:57
he can get forward and get a few more
4:59
goals for midfield which would be great for the
5:01
team. But yeah,
5:03
all over the park they've been brilliant, Trossard's been
5:05
another great signing for Arsenal because they would have
5:07
gone for the Madrid but he chose Chelsea. Then
5:11
they went for Trossard and he scored some
5:13
really important goals this year, left hand side,
5:16
got Martin Elie who's a fantastic little player
5:18
as well, so they've got so many good
5:20
options Arsenal now. Now stay
5:22
with Arsenal and they face of course
5:25
Man United tomorrow, a real classic Barclays
5:27
fixture, the infamous battle of Old Trafford
5:29
in 2003 saw a host of
5:31
finds and red cards but it was way Parle
5:33
and Martin Keown blame. Here we go, so what
5:36
did you get done for, did you punch him,
5:38
did you push him, did you verbal? A little
5:40
dig, a little dig. So you
5:42
punched him? Yeah, I think it's more relief
5:44
really because, well not hard, he went hard
5:46
El, it wasn't a problem.
5:48
And Martin? Well, Martin started it as
5:50
usual. If
5:53
you've been all the finds come through into the dressing room,
5:55
everyone's going, oh the legend buzz him because we're
5:57
all going to get fined, me, Ashley, Lauren. and
6:00
Martin, but I said, Martin, you're let up first.
6:03
Why is that? Because you started it, that's why.
6:06
But Eddie did, and he got fined a lot of money as
6:08
well. I think he got fined more than me, 20,000, something like
6:10
that. Yeah, but he was on
6:12
appearance money. If you ask Martin, he always looked
6:14
at appearance money as well. And because he was
6:16
banned him for a few games, he's lost that
6:19
appearance money. So he's a big
6:21
hit for him. And Lauren? And Lauren weren't happy,
6:23
he was. Because my wife will kill me. But
6:26
I said, these are the rules in England, Lauren. He's got
6:28
to pay the money. And Ashley, obviously, got
6:30
fined as well. So look, you look back
6:33
at it, and we were probably out of
6:35
all of what we did. I
6:37
think Manji Shire had done things like that as well. So
6:40
you can go back to 89, the
6:42
back of Old Trafford. Do you remember that one, Al?
6:44
I think there's only one keeper who is in his
6:47
goal. The other 20, 21,
6:49
was all having a punch up, half
6:52
way. Nigel Wiener, Brian Macleod, all
6:54
them sort of guys, all over in a bit. So there's
6:56
always a lot of, he's
6:58
always feisty game, even back then.
7:01
But that's what you want to watch, though,
7:03
don't you? You've got to take yourself back
7:05
to there, to all those years ago when
7:07
he gets Patrick Vieira sent off. The
7:10
game was actually quite an easy game. Then it
7:12
was like the Alamo. They come out as from
7:14
all angles. Then I've given a penalty
7:17
away, which I think actually, when you look back at it, I
7:19
don't mean it was a penalty, okay? That's what I was feeling
7:21
in the moment. And there's only about a minute to go in
7:24
the game. So it's a
7:26
last minute penalty. And at that stage,
7:28
if you think, I didn't want to be the weak
7:30
link in my team. I'm nearly 38 years of age.
7:33
So I'm kind of proud to have actually still playing at
7:36
that point. Maybe payback for
7:38
being, I would like to
7:40
think being professional would wave me through my career. And then
7:42
all of a sudden, I don't want to be blamed by
7:44
anybody, and he misses. And
7:46
so we give it to him, because we
7:49
generally felt that he'd take, Patrick was sent
7:51
off, and the only reason the game had changed,
7:53
the atmosphere had changed, because he had got our
7:55
players sent off. No regrets now, Jim, in terms
7:57
of how it was. don't
8:00
hold anything against any of those players, it
8:02
was just part almost like it was for another person, it
8:04
happened to someone else. So I can look back at it
8:06
now objectively, step
8:08
back from here. I have respect for Van
8:11
Nisserie, what a fantastic mark. Of course. But
8:13
didn't trust him, he would fall over like
8:15
a pack of cards. A lot
8:17
of the other players were tough, strong, Mark Hughes,
8:20
one of those, Shearer, another one, you could rely
8:22
on them, we're gonna have a physical battle, he
8:24
would fall over in the box. Van Nisserie would.
8:26
Yeah, couldn't trust him, I saw it long enough
8:28
and then suddenly he gets my captain
8:31
sent off, he goes too far and
8:33
then we reacted as we did. Talk
8:35
sport daily. Now
8:38
the player of the season is soon
8:40
to be announced and Joseph Cole Palmer
8:42
has put his name into contention with
8:44
21 league goals. His manager, Mauricio Pochettino,
8:47
had his say on Cole potentially being
8:49
awarded. What he achieved is massive, for
8:52
me already is a winner, even if
8:55
he on the end will not
8:57
take the trophy. But I think for
8:59
me it's a winner because I think the
9:01
level that he reached is amazing for us,
9:03
it's amazing for the club, for the team
9:05
mate and for himself. Now
9:08
we see what happened but I think
9:10
the decision that he's doing is fantastic.
9:13
Simon Jordan and Mike Keown both spoke
9:15
about the player of the season and
9:17
their deserved winners. You look at the
9:19
players that have excelled in
9:22
spite of circumstances rather than
9:24
because of them. Cole Floden, alongside
9:26
his obviously innate ability, has excelled
9:29
because he's playing in a remarkable
9:31
side. Whereas Cole
9:33
Palmer has excelled primarily
9:36
because Cole Palmer has excelled. Has
9:38
shown. So that should be for
9:40
me when you're looking about a
9:42
Premier League player of the season,
9:44
you've got to look at the conditions in which
9:46
these players have operated and what they've had to overcome
9:48
and how they still performed at a level of excellence
9:50
that would determine that they should be considered a Premier
9:53
League player of the season. And I think for me
9:55
if I was looking at that I
9:57
Think it's difficult not to score goals for main city. The
10:00
it difficult to be a bad player my
10:02
city side or the is much more difficult
10:04
to be a compelling proposition. A standing there
10:06
that we can weaken Chelsea side recently better
10:08
for up until this past couple weeks. not
10:10
so good. I would give it to pop
10:12
culture bomb in both categories. I do find
10:14
a little bit strange that we don't have
10:17
a white Van Dyke is in there. But.
10:19
Where Is Sleeper And Gabrielle? We.
10:22
Conceded. I mean if you're gonna sound guy during
10:24
our skin Some for Less is about Sama. think
10:26
they got the credit they deserve. Seventeen clean sheets
10:28
to seasons of their the few as early as
10:30
in the young player yes yes yes yes but
10:32
I'm just have any look at it you think
10:34
locate Maybe there should be a few will mentions
10:37
for defend his per se. To. Know
10:39
I mean walkers while his have faded little
10:41
bit recently as empty that a few injuries
10:43
but another player that we could have seen
10:45
fear thing book emphasise that Van Dyke should
10:47
be in not quite certain is the season
10:49
we would have expected from him and have
10:51
seen a lot poet thing thing appointing from
10:54
him when he has an etsy gone in
10:56
and take in and out with things himself.
10:58
talksport daily. Now
11:01
guy but as been seen on the
11:03
sidelines with a juicy on pay packets
11:05
way for his opportunity to active management.
11:07
It was announced yesterday they turn down
11:09
the offer to manage Iacs spent him
11:11
on this retook school's football course one
11:13
else cook and saw Majeure the. I
11:16
think they're managerial. Merry go round. It
11:18
is already in full swing to be
11:20
honest when you look it's a yoga
11:22
class leaving livable. We know that on
11:24
a slow is coming in their Julian
11:26
look at Tag on his way to
11:28
were stabbed her place David Moyes at
11:30
the okay good send off actually from
11:32
the West Ham fans this weekend and
11:34
rightly so, but Gray Importer really interesting.
11:36
The number of opportunity that he's had
11:38
to come back into work since he
11:40
left Chelsea of that ill fated stint
11:42
at Stamford Bridge, but number of a
11:44
tutsis that he's turned down. Iacs paying
11:46
the latest of that and we
11:49
know that is. Held several rounds
11:51
of talks with the Dutch joins
11:53
he rejected them earlier on a
11:55
month or so ago. They.
11:57
managed to get back to the negotiating
11:59
table But once again Graham Potter
12:01
has said no to that particular
12:03
opportunity I think the financial
12:06
package that I actually offering didn't necessarily
12:08
meet at what Potter was
12:10
looking for But you do get the
12:12
sense also that he's saving himself Maybe
12:15
there's something bigger and better in his
12:17
eyes and you wonder could that be
12:19
replacing Eric ten Hargett Manchester I did
12:21
because he has a fantastic reputation
12:24
with Sir Jim Radcliffe he's got
12:26
a relationship with Dan Ashworth who
12:28
we know is coming in as the sporting director
12:31
They work so well together at Brighton
12:33
I think Potter is a genuine contender if
12:36
and when United decide to move on
12:38
from ten Harg I just can't see
12:40
the reality of what Potter has done
12:43
on a scale that would
12:45
represent the Opportunity of taking man united
12:47
and all that goes with it where
12:50
the Jim Radcliffe describes it as a
12:52
project now and realizes that there's some
12:54
intermediate short-term and long-term
12:57
Milestones, I don't think
12:59
Potter could cope with Chelsea
13:01
and maybe some would say a lot of
13:03
people couldn't cope with Chelsea I think he
13:05
fell into a mode of operating with
13:08
immediate a shoulder lack of resilience And
13:10
if the one thing you're going to need to have a
13:12
mention item is resilience I don't think he's got the coaching
13:14
credentials. I don't think he's managed the scale of clubs So
13:18
I'd be very surprised but you've got
13:20
like Alex makes a compelling case Given
13:23
the links, but you know
13:25
Dan Ashworth's relationship Would you want
13:28
to be putting your professional relationship
13:30
on Graham Potter? Going
13:32
into arguably the most talked about clubbing world
13:34
football and saying I'll take the guy that
13:36
couldn't cut it at Chelsea Into
13:38
Megan I did as my biggest
13:40
appointment besides getting into the mix of
13:42
what players I'm gonna buy Today's
13:47
game against lute will be David Moyes his
13:49
last home game in charge of West Ham
13:51
and after lifting European silverware just one season
13:54
ago moiety spoke about his announcement look There's
13:56
a lot of things in football which share
13:58
could always be done much better But
14:01
look, I'm really
14:03
comfortable with the situation. I'm
14:06
comfortable with the board so
14:09
at the moment everything's fine. It's
14:12
football. I've been away for a
14:14
long time now from my family so this was always
14:16
going to be a moment where I had
14:19
to make a decision but I think it's
14:21
the right decision. I think it's the right decisions for
14:23
both parties. I think for myself and for the club
14:25
and we'll go a separate ways having which
14:28
I believe are really good good four and
14:30

14:33
