Welcome to the Monday Night Club. Joe Hart, Andros Townsend, Rory Smith with us this evening. MNC at bbc.co.uk if you want to get in touch. You were at the Etihad, weren't you, Joe, yesterday?
I was, yeah.
What is the atmosphere like at the London Stadium?
I was eating everyone. Were you in tears? I wasn't, no. But it was an emotional day. It was emotional. It was nice, you know.
What is the financial impact of West Ham's relegation?
It was nice to be in a stadium where everyone was happy. Villa were happy. City fans were happy. New stand opened. Obviously Pep going, John going, Bernardo going. Like I say, Villa were in great spirits. They were all... They couldn't believe that they managed to pull that performance out. It was funny talking to a few of their lads after saying sports science is a load of rubbish.
What are the future prospects for Tottenham after another near-relegation?
But no, it was just a magical day, magical day. And the right send-off for some pretty special people.
Do you think then that will change Villa's perspective next season and they'll look to go on the lash a bit more often and have five-hour plane journeys and not as much sleep?
There'll be a few people that will be not wanting that to happen because there's a lot of jobs off the back of that being the opposite. But nah, they just got through. And I could tell, actually, I spoke to Bernardo and John after. John particularly, he said the more the game got closer, the less he actually wanted to be out there and focus him because he was that emotionally rattled from the outpour of love and support and attention they've got over recent weeks that... It was difficult to perform, and Villa, fair play to them. It was a pretty standoffish game, but Ollie Watkins really stepped up, obviously going into a big summer.
We'll talk more about the goodbyes from the Premier League a little bit later on, and we'll talk about Guardiola and Manchester City as well. Over the last few weeks, Andros has joined the Monday night club from Thailand, from London last week when we were in the same time zone, so that was lovely. And this week you are... I'm in sunny L.A. this week. You're in L.A.?
It's 11 a.m., so, yeah.
Honestly. One life, Andros.
How do players react to changes in management and club direction?
One life, lad.
Live it. Are you looking for a club? What are you doing? I am holiday with the family before the World Cup starts.
So again, a few weeks resting.
Very nice. So Thailand, you were seven or eight hours ahead. Then last week, we were in the same time zone. And today, you're seven or eight hours behind.
Thailand was 2 a.m. And then today is 11 a.m.
There's got to be a chance that we can get Andros to do this show from the international dateline. So he can kind of hop in back and across and do it on different days. That feels like the natural.
Funded by the BBC?
Yeah.
Maybe not funded by the BBC.
I could probably say definitely not funded by the BBC. But the idea of getting you in a whole load of different time zones over the course of a season is quite a good challenge, but would also have the sustainability police on my back. So let's move on. Let's start tonight by talking about West Ham. They'll be in the championship next season, and that will be the third time that they've gone down to the second tier. We'll talk Nuno Espirito Santo in a moment. We'll talk the squad in a moment. I'm just going to come to you, Rory, actually, just from a media point of view, really, to start with, which is because there was so much attention on Spurs and whether they would go down, Do you think we have not ignored but underestimated the size of West Ham in going down?
Yeah, I think the idea that Spurs, who are the ninth richest club on the planet, could get relegated overshadowed the fact that West Ham, who if you look at quite a lot of different kind of financial metrics, are also a club that should not be getting relegated.
