And we have to look at the German model to make sure when our Premier League starts, it's a success as well.

Spot on, Don.

There's no question about it.

The first game, in fact, the first game was Dortmund-Schalke.

They built it up big.

It's a huge game up in the Gelsenkirchen area and Dortmund batted them 4-0.

Schalke have had a shocker, by the way, since they came back.

It's a good job, David Wagner, who, of course, we all remember from Huddersfield.

He's there as the manager, Schalke.

They haven't done well, but definitely as the games have gone on,

things have been it's funny Don I was looking there was a even I get the Dortmund Bayern game it was Lewandowski had done something brilliant with himself and Alphonso Davies and I was like brilliant football and there was no noise there was no reaction from the crowd it was only like well done kind of thing you know like because it was only coming from a handful of people on the bench excuse me

But certainly the intensity has become, and I think the players are playing with a little bit more freedom in terms of what they're allowed to do.

There's still been, you know, well done, the elbow and the fist pump, but there's been a few cuddles and a few back slaps, you know, arms around each other.

But hopefully the fact that they're being tested, they don't have it, they're not passing it on to each other.

And at the moment, there's no question, the games are becoming a little bit more competitive, a little bit more of a test match.

What has been so interesting, Don, and I'm sorry to keep going on here,

There was nine games at the weekend and there was seven, I get this right, six away wins.

So home advantage, to be honest.

In fact, I'm going to say from the start, there might be more away wins than there have been home wins.

So that home advantage certainly is not working in the Bundesliga.
