6:32 pm
qualifier between wales and england and as if that‘s not enough we‘ll be joined by burnley‘s phil bardsley to talk about all the football. thanks forjoining us. jose mourinho says he is one of the greatest managers in the world, regardless of whether or not he wins a premier league title with manchester united. united have lost two of their first three league games, making their worst start to a season in 25 years. but the portuguese manager was bullish about the fact that his reputation can‘t be tarnished. i had great success last season. that is probably what you do not
6:33 pm
wa nt to that is probably what you do not want to admit. and you do what you want, i do what i want, i analyse my performance. myself. and for me it is more important what i think them what you think. and i think and i repeat that two seasons ago, we had a fantastic season by winning the europa league. this season, last season, everybody thought atletico madrid, amazing, because they won the europa league, after being knocked out of the champions league. we won the europa league because that was our level. we are the last tea m that was our level. we are the last team in england to win a european competition and, last season, i repeat, i won eight titles, i won eight titles. i am the only manager in the world that won italy, spain and england. and by winning eight titles, not small titles,
6:34 pm
not small countries, eight proper titles, my second position last season is one of my greatest achievements in football. i think ithink and i think and i say, you disagree. you have the right to disagree, no problem for me. united are playing burnley this weekend and one of their players, and a man that used to play at old trafford, joins me now, phil bardsley. jose mourinho is good at defending himself. is he right? would he still be regarded as one of the greatest if he does not win a title at manchester united 7 if he does not win a title at manchester united ?|j if he does not win a title at manchester united? i think so, his record speaks for itself. he has done it in three major countries at big clubs. he set out to come to manchester united and to do the same and it has not gone to plan as yet
6:35 pm
in terms of the premier league title. all the talk has been about him and problems with woodward. he comes out and defends his players. he tries to keep the media away from them but they have to step up and start performing. interesting because a lot has been said about the fact thatjose mourinho deflects attention away from his players. what it -- attention away from his players. what it —— is it like to play under a manager like matt? it is good in a way, it keeps the pressure off a little bit when you are under pressure. as a player, you have to to perform. you are paid to go on the pitch and perform. in the case of manchester united, some have to put part of their egos and come out and play football like they can.
6:36 pm
they have very good players there. this season, we have yet to see any manchester united performance. burnley your team are playing them on sunday, is this a good time to play them? i think so. we have had a tough start as well. i had a tough game last night, very unlucky not to get to the qualifying stages of the europa league. it will be difficult. united are still a good team. jose mourinho will be poking his players to try to get a reaction from them. if they respond, respond in the right way, which they should, we feel comfortable, at turf moor, no matter who comes there, we are confident we can get a result and i‘m sure people watching are in for a treat on sunday. we will come to the europa league defeated a moment.
6:37 pm
but a look at the other fixtures. top of the table liverpool are at leicester in the early game on saturday. chelsea against bournemouth is one of five three o‘clock kick—offs, while manchester city host newcastle in the late match. and on sunday, unai emery‘s arsenal play at cardiff, while tottenham liverpool will be looking to maintain their winning start to the season and bossjurgen klopp says he has no complaints about their record signing keeper alisson, who is yet to concede in the league. so far we have defended well. it is not like he had 20 shots on target. hopefully it will stay like this. he is spot on. the highest concentration level is needed. hopefully lester will not be ten, 15
6:38 pm
shots on target. we have to avoid that. so far, so good. nothing to moan about. it has been a perfect start to the season for liverpool. we talk about them being title contenders every year but do you get the feeling this year they have more strength in their squad and can challenge until the end? absolutely. they have addressed the downfall last season in terms of a goalkeeper. we have seen the brazilian keeper do tricks already. he has been outstanding and i have been impressed with the back four. van dyck has been awesome and the young lad next to him. joe gomez. i have been impressed with trent alexander—arnold. for a young man, playing at a massive club like
6:39 pm
liverpool, he is on free kicks, corners, the set pieces and it shows what the club think of him and i am impressed with him and i believe liverpool have everything going for them to win the title. city are the tea m them to win the title. city are the team to beat, the champions. do you think they will be able to recreate the season they had last year, a record—breaking season, or is it too hard? it is a demanding league and you have to to, at the top of that league, everybody wants to beat you. ina league, everybody wants to beat you. in a manager like pep guardiola he demands they win every game and i‘m sure they will be similar. they will be competing on every front. they have outstanding players. they have added quality in mahrez. it will be added quality in mahrez. it will be a shoot out between those two, i‘m sure because they have recruited
6:40 pm
well and will be a force to be reckoned with. we have to talk about last night. burnley‘s european dream came to an end at the hands of 0lympiakos in the final qualifier. 1—1 on the night wasn‘t enough, with burnley losing 11—2 on aggregate. it was always going to be hard to overturn the 3—1 first leg deficit. but the manager sean dyche says the team has rediscovered its identity, are there positives to take from that back into your doemstic season now? it was a great experience for all players who have not played in a european competition. we have the chance to go to istanbul and athens and compete over there. we fell short last night but it was not for a lack of effort. it was tremendous from start to finish the number of chances we created and goals we could have had, ten, 12 clear—cut
6:41 pm
chances. it would not go in the net. the second half of the first leg was the crucial blow. the referee played his part in that which was difficult to ta ke his part in that which was difficult to take because we were in the game at 1-1 to take because we were in the game at 1—1 going to take because we were in the game at1—1 going in to take because we were in the game at 1—1 going in at half—time. ifeel the referee might have been affected in the tunnel area. that is the way it goes in european football. those are the experiences you see and learn. i‘m disappointed because i thought last night we were tremendous and it is back to what we are known as, a team hard to play against a difficult for the opposition. with energy. but could not find the end product. it meant there were four british clubs in the draw for this years group stages, arsenal will play sporting lisbon, qarabag and vorshkla. 2013 winners chelsea are in a group with paok, bate borisov and vidi. celtic meet salzburg,
6:42 pm
rb leipzig and rosenborg while rangers face rapid vienna, villarreal and spa rtak moscow. let‘s talk about that now. arsenal have 10,000 odd miles to travel for they‘re away matches but looking harderfor they‘re away matches but looking harder for celtic they‘re away matches but looking harderfor celtic and they‘re away matches but looking harder for celtic and rangers. they‘re away matches but looking harder for celtic and rangersm they‘re away matches but looking harder for celtic and rangers. it is what can happen in these drawers. there is a lot of travelling involved. we had two games in athens and istanbul and that was difficult to play on the sunday and compete at that level in the premier league. celtic and rangers have a lot of travelling but that is where they wa nted travelling but that is where they wanted to be. celtic will be disappointed they did not make the champions league. but i am sure excited by stephen‘s first year as manager they will be excited to get through to the first stages.
6:43 pm
before any of those long european trips, celtic and rangers have the small matter of the old firm derby to think about this weekend. it is one of the biggest rivalries in football one that steven gerrard will experiencing for the first time. he is unbeaten in 12 games as rangers manager and comes up how much is he closing the gap? he he is bringing the experience young managers can get in and have a right go at banishment. everyone from the outside will say it is a difficult job for him to take. i saw him over the summer and he was excited about the summer and he was excited about the challenge. he has had an unbelievable start. it is a massive game on sunday. i‘m sure one that he will relish, like he did as a player. 0bviously different
6:44 pm
expectations in terms of celtic and what they bring. travelling away. it will be a great atmosphere and i‘m sure he is looking forward to it. thank you forjoining us. we can hear now how celtic manager brendan rogers think steven gerrard is doing. looking at them and analysing them, he has done a very good job since he has gone in. a pulled together a lot of players and what is key, they have brought in good players. players of a higher level that allows them to work in a better way. let's talk cricket. moeen ali‘s taken five wickets today, leading england‘s fightback in the fourth test against india in southampton. the all—rounder was instrumental as the visitors slipped from 142—2 to 195—8, but a unbeaten century from chesteshwar pujara saw
6:45 pm
india all out for 273, for a first innings lead of 27. adam wild is there for us, it‘s been quite a day over there. it really has. it has been extraordinary in many ways and even the most optimistic of england fans would not expect it to go as well for england as it turned out. england, many felt their batting was not enough for the first innings given the strength and quality of india‘s batting so they came here today with the ball knowing they had today with the ball knowing they had to do some thing special to save this match. we can look at some of the action. jimmy anderson struggled early on. stuart broad picked up plenty of the slack with two of the first wickets. two down at lunch and
6:46 pm
the key wicket of the tormentor in chief, the indian captain, virat kohli, caught by alastair cook. but it was not until after tea that the england attack got going with moeen ali with two wickets in two balls to dismiss ashwin and then shami. but sharma with his fifth wicket. moeen ali was only recalled to this side for this match. pujara was india‘s standout performer and he pushed on for his century. england could not get him, he finished on 132 not out. india, 273 all out. that is a lead of 27. england were put into bat and the openers had to navigate the
6:47 pm
tricky last few overs before the close of play. given their form, it was no mean feat but they did, six without loss at the end of play and a lead of 21 going into the third day, but really topsy—turvy match, and in many ways a topsy—turvy series. it is an intriguing contest in southampton. we cannot wait for the next few days. stay with us, there‘s plenty more to come, including: usain bolt is a step closer to becoming a professional footballer, playing 22 minutes for central coast mariners in a preseason friendly. and we hear from the unfortunate bowler on the receiving end of a cricketing milestone, half a century on from the first six sixes in an over. it was five minutes of my life that has been talked about for 50 years. before that, we‘re going to return to football and a big night for wales and england‘s women‘s footballers.
6:48 pm
they face each other in newport later — with the winner gaining automatic qualification into next year‘s world cup in france. we can cross live to rodney parade and join our reporterjo currie now. jo, it‘s a big game with so much at stake. yes, glorious sunshine in south wales for the winner takes all clash. whoever wins to night will qualify automatically for the world cup in france and the loser will have a nervous wait to see if they have a nervous wait to see if they have done enough for a play—off place. if it ends in a drawer, wales stay at the top of the group with one point ahead of england but england have a match in hand, travelling to kazakhstan on tuesday knowing a draw their will hand them qualification. i am joined knowing a draw their will hand them qualification. iam joined by knowing a draw their will hand them qualification. i am joined by people who know what it is like to play in
6:49 pm
hand, travelling to kazakhstan on tuesday knowing a draw there will hand them qualification. i enjoyed by people who know what it is like to play these matches. nia, the welsh team have been apt to look at the pitch. a great opportunity. they have earned the right for this spectacle, quietly going about their business, getting fantastic results against russia and bosnia without the media platform they have today and have earned the right to host this match tonight. you say they went about their business quietly but they have said they want the england fans to do some booing to get under their skin. it is going to be feisty. what jess said would have been tongue in cheek. it is supposed to be entertainment and there will be fans who have not seen the wales women's team play and i hope the 4000 to night do everything they can to get under the england girls' skin. they are so talented. england
6:50 pm
are no hand at qualifying. ranked 25 places above wales. they should be confident? i think england are used to big tournaments and played against nations, in canada they played against the host nation in front of thousands and in the euro is playing against holland in the semifinal. they have the experience but it will be a different test to night. we can see how small the pitch will be this evening. how much will england play their usual style? i think they will have prepared for that and will expect it. maybe when they played in april they did not maybe go through the discussions and expect the deep block with a small pitch and i'm sure they will have prepared for that in training. you can hear more from these experts as pa rt can hear more from these experts as part of the bbc two coverage, which gets under way at 7:30pm. thank you. usain bolt has taken another step towards playing
6:51 pm
professional football. the world—record holder for 100 and 200 metres came on as a sub for australian a league side central coast mariners in a preseason friendly. he‘s hoping to impress enough to get a deal ahead of the new season — however, he was unable to take this chance — just not quite quick enough. the more i work, i get more playing time. it is all about getting my fitness up and as i said earlier, it is keeping out the work to get ready for the season. when i started track and field i did not know how great i was going to be and i am looking at football like that. i do not know how great it is going to be but i will enjoy the journey and put my all into it. two—time world champion fernando alonso says formula one is "too predictable" and a sport
6:52 pm
in which "only two teams can win". the spaniard is retiring at the end of the season after 17 years of racing. in an exclusive interview with the bbc alonso said he would stay in the sport if he had a winning car — but wouldn‘t enjoy it as much as racing in another series. i said formula 1 is too predictable. i also heard and read that i stopped formula 1 because i‘m not competitive, which is partly true. if i were now winning all the races i would continue. but it is true as well i would continue maybe not having the same fun i find somewhere else. you continue because you are winning, you are uncompetitive man. formula 1 is a little too predictable now. both the pro 14 and premiership rugby seasons start tonight. chris boyd the new man in charge at northampton saints arrives from coaching the hurricanes in new zealand. and with wales‘ dan biggar and england‘s james haskell among the new signings, there is plenty of optimism
6:53 pm
after years of underachievement. this from james burridge. a new man in the middle of franklin‘s gardens. chris boyd arrives in wellington fresh from coaching some of new zealand‘s finest players, so can he work his black magic at saint?|j finest players, so can he work his black magic at saint? i do not raise my voice to offer them that i have high expectations. high expectations of commitment from the players and high expectations of their preparation. if we go into a game well prepared, well—organised, good understanding and alignment, and we have done our work and do not quite get the performance, so be it, but what i cannot tolerate is people not trying not being well prepared. when people compare the northern and southern hemisphere talk about english players being too structured. i have been encouraged
6:54 pm
by how open the players have been to new ideas. i have not come across a closed mind yet. i have had some pretty good conversations with the number of people and they have been encouraging. his brood of coaches are english to the call, some old and some new, a regime ready to take chances. we have tried to encourage an attacking game plan and i would like to think that we will put that on the pitch. an attacking brand of by on the pitch. an attacking brand of rugby that will put teams under pressure. the man charged with that attacking game plan is wales‘ dan biggar, who for all his experience, is desperate to make an impression at his new club. the first couple of days i was like the new boy at school, eating my lunch quietly. pretty nervous the first couple of
6:55 pm
days, but it has been seamless. the boys have been excellent. it has been straight in and the boys have been straight in and the boys have been welcoming. it has been business as usual. after years of turmoil at saints, the atmosphere has changed and this weekend, we will get the first understanding of what chris boyd‘s northampton saints are all about. let‘s have a quick look at some of the day‘s other sports headlines now. and in the us open the women‘s defending champion sloane stephens is taking on victoria azarenka for a place in the last 16. the american took the first set 6—3 but it‘s a tighter second set, 4—4 as it stands. in formula 1, sauber‘s marcus ericsson was thankfully uninjured after a huge crash at the the start of the italian grand prix second practice, where he somersaulted several times. this is ferrari‘s home race and they finished with a one—two — with sebastian vettel over two tenths faster than his team—mate kimi raikkonen. lewis hamilton was third fastest.
6:56 pm
ireland‘s cricketers have lost their one day series to afghanistan. the afghans cruised to an eight—wicket victory in the third match in belfast today and took the series 2—1. now, we‘re now going to take you back exactly 50 years ago today. that was when legendary west indies all—rounder sir garfield sobers became the first player to hit six sixes in a first class match. he was playing in a county championship game for nottinghamshire against glamorgan — and malcolm nash was the unfortunate ido i do not think i have changed my story in 50 years. i have no reason to change my thoughts about what i was trying to do. when you play against the best player that has ever played this game, all you want to do is get him out that is what i tried to do and it was five minutes
6:57 pm
of my life that has been talked about 50 years. it did not define my career, if anything, about 50 years. it did not define my career, ifanything, it about 50 years. it did not define my career, if anything, it gave me greater resolve. i thought, golly, what have you done? you could easily say i am done with cricket, i will not pick up another ball. that was not pick up another ball. that was not in my nature. i thought i would stay around the wicket, same run—up, same action, but i will bowl a seamer, which was a disaster, because it was a half tracker. he has done it! my goodness, it has gone way down to swansea. world records have been talked about them. the first time it had been done. i said remember, he could not have done it without me! that‘s all from sportsday. we‘ll have more for you throughout the evening. 0n the whole it looks a pleasant
6:58 pm
