He gave one to Sky News.

He did not give it to Sky News' sports correspondent, Rob Harris, a fine colleague we've known for many years.

Rob Harris' middle name, or his nickname, is Trouble.

He spoke to somebody else.

What I take issue with, okay, I don't have any, he said this stuff about the Nobel Prize.

He said it before.

He's going to keep saying it.

He's not going to change his mind now.

That's kind of stupid.

The boycotts don't achieve anything.

He did make, I think, a pretty valid point is that you want football to boycott.

for whatever reason.

But then, unless governments boycott, so unless you put a total stop on the economy and trading with somebody, why should football lose out when the rest of the country does not?

So I thought that was actually... I think he does have a point there.

On the Russian ban from football, he says, well, it doesn't achieve anything.

You know what?

It does achieve stuff.

It says this is not normal.
