So, yeah, having got away with what they've got away with so far by throwing money at football...

how much further will they go, you know, with more money and more control?

So I don't think that's an unreasonable opinion, really.

OK.

And, yeah, I mean, a lot of the best things you see on TV are staged, aren't they?

So maybe a TV exec somewhere will think, oh, we could script our football matches to make them more interesting and have a sort of, you know, a sort of...

We can engineer it so that everybody stays switched on to the very end and doesn't know what's going to happen.

Rather than have a show a game that's 4-0 at half-time and everybody switches off.

Wouldn't put anything past them.

Yeah, and he came on cold, didn't he, really?

I mean, A, he wouldn't have expected to be coming on, probably at all, in that game, unless there was an injury or a red card.

And he hasn't played much, has he, for a while?

I don't think he's started a game for a couple of months or maybe even a bit more.

I thought he did well, actually.

And I liked the way he linked up with Anderson down the left.

There was a couple of times where he got the ball, he had a bit of time, and he then managed to put a good ball away for Anderson to run on to.

I liked that.

I thought that worked better than some of what we've seen with Swanson as a right-footed left-back trying to link up with the man in front of him.

No disrespect to Swanson.

I think he's done a good job at left-back.
