There is another derby happening this afternoon, the West Midlands derby between Birmingham and Aston Villa.
They're just approaching half-time.
There has been a very, very ugly incident during the game, though.
A fan has been arrested for running onto the pitch and trying to punch Jack Grealish.
And...
It's shocking to think that this can happen, Charlie.
You play on the pitch and the idea that fans can get on the pitch and do stuff like that must be worrying.
Well, Jack, the fan, so-called fan, call him fan in the loosest sense of the term, he's been arrested.
Jack Grealish is playing on as well.
Anything ever happen to you like that when you were playing, even back when things were sort of a different era?
Wasn't it in the 80s and sort of there was segregation?
Because the advent of social media means that you are, as professionals, much more accessible to players, to fans, following good results, following bad results, following incidents on the pitch.
How do you manage that?
How do you manage to navigate those waters and not let it bother you too much?
Very good.
It's been, yeah, three years, probably.
Yeah, it has.
I try to go away from a little bit, and I've been everywhere.
