Because if it's that thing of if you get a call you're in, you're literally sat there waiting with your phone out all day.

But the one thing you definitely need is to know which way around it is.

You don't want to be sat there waiting.

Your phone goes, it's Pochettino, and then it turns out he's telling you you're not in.

So I kind of get what you're saying, but I think you just should have had a stronger policy on it.

I also think an email is a rough way to find out, isn't it?

And I think, to be honest, I get his point.

No one wants to hear from me if they're not in.

But I think that is part of your job, isn't it?

These players might be, not for him, but for other people, these players might be your players for years to come.

You've got to let them know in person they're not going to be in the squad.

I think it's, to be honest, I did think that was quite poor from him.

Yeah, I have.

So it's loads of little short stories about the weird and wonderful places that I am obsessed with and football all around the world.

When I come on this pod, I tend to tell you a load of really odd little stories from weird places.

And this is a whole book of them.

It's about 80 of my Guardian Football Weekly segments in one book, basically.

So I don't know if I'm selling that at all.

You got an acknowledgement.

Basically, just simply because I know you love an acknowledgement and also because you do put up with my world football nonsense on a regular basis.
