You can't get away from that.

And there's politics in every sporting governing body.

But if you could keep your everyday politicians out of interfering in sport and trying to take the glory from it and trying to sort of put their...

put their involvement where it's not wanted, I think we'd all be much happier, wouldn't we?

The example you've just given there is just completely ridiculous, isn't it?

It's petty.

There's a lot of concern, I think, among football fans worldwide at the moment about how close FIFA has become to the president.

There seems to be a bit of a relationship there that

many are uneasy about how that's going to play out don't know but yeah I think when politics when politicians get involved in sport it usually makes things harder and makes life more difficult and doesn't really improve things

No, I wonder why that is.

I wonder why footballers don't get into politics.

Very sensible of them, if you ask me.

Yeah, it would probably be good for football if a few more of them did, really.

We've had a few sports ministers down the years who you...

who you can tell don't know much about sport.

No.

And if you, you know, if you could have had a couple of ex-pro footballers in there, in that job, or, you know, ex-cricketers or ex-tennis players or golfers or whatever, you know, it doesn't just have to be footballers.

Yeah.

You know, somebody who knows sport and knows what it needs and knows what it can do in those sort of jobs, you would think you'd be better off.

Well I have actually and we're jumping ahead a bit here and we can expand upon this next week but shall I I've got a plan for Pompey for Easter a radical plan that if Mr Massino is listening and I shouldn't think he is he needs to get his notebook out and he needs to take this down this is the Pompey line up that I would play at Norwich on Good Friday Hang on pencil You ready for this?
