changer and should we defund bbc? my changer and should we defund bbc.7 my saturday changer and should we defund bbc? my saturday sidekick for the first hour of the show is a broadcasting legend. mike porky , and often , in my big opinion, , and often, in my big opinion, the gary lineker story reflects how the media and political are wildly out of step with british pubuc wildly out of step with british public opinion wanting to stop the boats and, end a criminal enterprise. there's make you a bad person in the big question week, reports show that sales of electric cars have fallen with stiff competition coming from cheaper price and in the of some more convenient options like hybnds more convenient options like hybrids and even dare i say it petrol and diesel models. so the bottom fallen out the electric car market and at ten it is the alternative match of the day won't want to miss it. fireworks come a busy 3 hours. this is mark dolan . it's 8:00. it's mark dolan. it's 8:00. it's saturday let's have some fun.

put something and fizzy in the fridge or fire up the kettle and let's get to work . now, as i've let's get to work. now, as i've mentioned, it's got lineker has been suspended by the bbc following his remarks about . the following his remarks about. the migrant crisis drawing parallels with germany in the second world war in terms of the government's language around the issue, half of the staff at match of the day have gone on strike, which means that match of the day tonight is 20 minutes long and it's basically a couple of goals and that's a blink. and you'll miss. well, the alternative match of the day is an hour long and it will feature broadcasting and journalistic legend mike porky parry might you'll be with us after ten for a bit of tv and radio history. the alternative of the day i am going to be delighted to be there because i think , to be honest, having been think, to be honest, having been a fan , 55 years of football, a fan, 55 years of football, nearly 60 for evertonian, the toffees over tony and went to my

first match of the summer. i was seven years of age. that's over 60 years ago, 1879 i think was the year i'm all right. about 1878 was the year that everton were founded, so it wasn't one year after that. but think year after that. but i think i've got every right to report to you, you know, as the top tonight at 10:00 on how the football fans are feeling about the game and whether or not we actually need these to interpret what. we're all watching. well, listen, you were an innovator in fleet street, breaking political stories, breaking royal when you were in charge , you broke the were in charge, you broke the news . the world that diana had news. the world that diana had tragically been killed in a car crash in paris. sadly, i you innovated the back pages, the sun and the express and elsewhere, the football coverage, which, as you know, back that is how you back the day, that is how you sold papers back pain. sold papers with the back pain. i sadly called , you i actually sadly called, you know, the england manager returning. i'm afraid that that was jules gran taylor, which course was front page as well as

back pay was most famous graphic. and unfortunately that was me. and i'm not proud of that, but did you ever make peace with graham? did. i did peace with graham? i did. i did about or five years later, about four or five years later, growing taylor and i did a radio show together . i didn't tell him show together. i didn't tell him that was , the innovator of the that i was, the innovator of the turn but quite i'm putting his face inside the turnip. i never told him. he never asked. we got on very well. a real was on very well. he's a real was a real gentleman and is much missed. so here we are the beeb are in the do do have they handled this badly well you know known gary for quite a long time in 1986, he scored 40 goals for everton football club. my team in one season. and you know what we didn't win the championship that season as it was called then. we wanted the season before and we won it the season after. gary scored 40 goals, we lost it by one point in that season, but he was a fantastic and footballer in 1992. that was the way 86 . in 1990 we'll go off the way 86. in 1990 we'll go off to sol danger because england

had such a bad reputation with funds behaviour. the italian authority put us on sardinia to play authority put us on sardinia to play group games off . you know, play group games off. you know, the may mainland of italy and we were all staying in a place called the forte , not just the called the forte, not just the england team, but all the press as well. we all used to mix in those days. and you know what? in those days you could mix with the players. you could talk to them, you could say even have a dnnk them, you could say even have a drink with them on a day off. i never heard lineker express once single political opinion. he was just a nice young guy. now this current row , i think something current row, i think something that nobody's yet brought to the fore is this. i know that bothered about bbc protocol because that's up to the bbc . do because that's up to the bbc. do what they want to do with their stars.i what they want to do with their stars. i do think it's outrageous to pay a man who basically edits the clips and they on match of the day , £1.35

they on match of the day, £1.35 billion of my money because obviously i'm a bbc licence fee pay l obviously i'm a bbc licence fee pay i think that's a ridiculous amount of money because lots of people could do it equally well for a lot less but. people could do it equally well for a lot less but . the point for a lot less but. the point i'm making is this the reason i'm making is this the reason i'm so about this is his initial tweets statement which said he accused the british government of using language that is not that this similar to that used by germany in the thirties. that this similar to that used by germany in the thirties . that by germany in the thirties. that is an absolute outrage . when is an absolute outrage. when hitler took over in 1933 and the branch hertz came to power , the branch hertz came to power, the first statement was , we will first statement was, we will unite all germans along racial and ethnic lines. unite all germans along racial and ethnic lines . guardiola says and ethnic lines. guardiola says it's similar to what the german centre did . it's similar to what the german centre did. is it's similar to what the german centre did . is mr. lineker, a centre did. is mr. lineker, a students of germany in 1930 because if he is , he will know

because if he is, he will know about the most infamous night in german history called kristallnacht . now kristallnacht kristallnacht. now kristallnacht happenedin kristallnacht. now kristallnacht happened in 1938, gary , you're happened in 1938, gary, you're watching. i'm sure you will be, because you'll be interested and he's not he's not working tonight. not working. not crystal was the night that german people were encouraged to go out on the streets and smash the windows of jewish shops , the windows of jewish shops, smash the machinery in jewish businesses, smash the windows of the homes of , jewish people and, the homes of, jewish people and, give them a choice. either get out of or you won't like it very much when you're here that . was much when you're here that. was the start of a government based plan this is the german government, by the way, and he's trying to compare us the british government, to the german government that then went on the biggest mass murder campaign in history of 6.6 million people in an attempt to wipe out the jewish race. i find it so offensive that gary can compare

what the germans and leaders led by hitler said to the 1930s to what we're trying to do in this country today they murdered 6.6 million people. we are trying to save lives . we are trying to save lives. we are trying to stop people drowning . we're stop people drowning. we're trying to stop people giving all their to money the evil people who give them a boat to come across channel. so we're trying to save lives. the germans murdered 6.6 billion people when hitler was in charge . and gary hitler was in charge. and gary lineker tries to compare us them. it's absolutely outrageous. i agree with you because interesting amid all of the drama and the hysterics all of that sort of opprobrium on both sides of course keir starmer is foursquare behind gary lineker, which is not surprising . that demonstrates to surprising. that demonstrates to me how out of touch starmer is with british public opinion . the with british public opinion. the topic of my big opinion at nine. but but you know obviously he's

very political and he's he's made many statements about brexit, about the government's policies across a range of issues include the migrant crossings . yes, but but these crossings. yes, but but these comments invoking the second world war and the holocaust that is potentially very insulting to jewish people. i had a jewish journalist, nicole lampert daily mail mail on sunday writer on this show yeah in a video that viral in which she said you just don't that and she said that the moment you start hitler or the you've lost the ark. of course you've lost the ark. of course you have. you've completely lost the argument. see i think gary lineker , how can i say this? i'm lineker, how can i say this? i'm not accusing me, but he kind of wants it to be popular. do you show it to me now when you start work on the bbc, despite alastair campbell coming on the telly 15 times a day and saying, oh well, chairman of the bbc oh well, the chairman of the bbc was tory donor, come off was a tory donor, i'll come off it, know , the have had it, you know, the bbc have had labour donors down through their history , haven't they? greg history, haven't they? greg being one of them. okay, no problem at. but the point is the generally believed to be of left

wing asia and i think gary might have thought we're right, this is my biggest pay cheque. i want to sound a little bit like all the people at the bbc , so i'll the people at the bbc, so i'll start trying to get sort of popular with populist kind of view. it could be. or it could be what elon musk says, the owner of twitter that gary, like many great public figures, has been infected . the woke mind been infected. the woke mind virus . well, it could have been virus. well, it could have been he's woke positive. well, he's woke positive remember a few weeks ago , he said, you know how weeks ago, he said, you know how racist it was to identify . a 20 racist it was to identify. a 20 year old man trying to pass themselves off as 12 year old children. he said that was racist me guy. you know, it's really now we talked about time in fleet street. yeah you've also been an innovator in broadcasting you co—founder talksport with kelvin mackenzie is i think one of the most successful speech channels in

the country . it's biggest sports the country. it's biggest sports news station . you go and they do news station. you go and they do a good job and you co—founded that enterprise and therefore you know that that platform is very much people expressing their opinion. yeah but you don't have presenters being overly political . i can't overly political. i can't imagine that when you were at talksport you had to fire anyone for tweets about government policy . no, i didn't because . policy. no, i didn't because. what were you to do in those days? was they speak your mind and all that, but must not be party political. okay. do you know why put ourselves above politics? we were having a laugh in the show. we were with the people on the street. you to remember? most people on the street just want to get on with life. they want to have a beer, want go to a football match. want to go to a football match. they and want to they want to and they want to escape. want to escape a escape. they want to escape a lot. don't politics lot. they don't want politics rammed throat. i mean rammed down their throat. i mean look lineker thing look the gary lineker thing annoys me so much . he's so annoys me so much. he's so i mean the day this blew off they came out of his house and told

everybody before he'd had anything with the bbc . don't anything with the bbc. don't worry, tell. okay, i'll be presenting much of the day on saturday night. it must have come as a hell of a shock him to be told a few hours. no, you won't. okay. i believe this could be the end of the match of. the day in its present form. because let's face it , the because let's face it, the audience these days is not what was when it was attacked. so you think that the match of the day franchise is under threat? i much of that is the programmes under threat because wow if you think do you know why? because when they show they matches that they show they're far too long but they might show 25 minutes of the biggest game of the day. l, of the biggest game of the day. i, i can the biggest game of the day in 3/32 clips on my phone. do you see what i, why would i want to sit there 1030, 11:00 at night and watch 25 minutes of a game that i can sum up in three clips on my phone? well, yeah, i think that's a challenge for

paul think that's a challenge for paul. we've got to get to the break. but you're part of a moment of television and radio history and the alternative match of the day. yeah. and we've got punditry, we've got personality it's a politics free zone. yes. but when you were at talksport , you've written a book talksport, you've written a book about alan brazil . here's, of about alan brazil. here's, of course, a football legend and a great broadcaster star. yes. you did have to relieve him of his dufies did have to relieve him of his duties once twice when you duties once or twice when you were a talksport chief, because he in vino veritas , wasn't he was in vino veritas, wasn't he? or twice. well, it's he? once or twice. well, it's funny up to funny because we're coming up to cheltenham week. okay, flattering motto and all that . flattering motto and all that. although week although it's charlton week next, week and the first time i had to sort of readjust brazil's career and tweak schedule a little bit tweak joe the because one on the last day of cheltenham which was thursday in those days i said come on out we're leaving the guinness tent now we're going home and i'm perky and i'm and i'll be with you in a minute he didn't get back till 9:00 the following

morning. the show was all over ken bates came gave a ken bates came in and gave us a great i wasn't there great interview. i wasn't there i'm afraid i had to send literally to the alps by ski so i will be asking porky parry after the break as the former of talksport radio he sack gary lineker that's next your calls . lineker that's next your calls. mark at gbnews.uk is the email. but we're going to be talking sue ferguson, susan, alan and andrew all bbc stars entitled to free speech. that's .

next welcome back to mark dolan tonight and, the people's hour, in which i'm taking video calls. don't forget, after it is the alternative match of the day presented by my self and my lovely sidekick patrick christys . lots to get through. but first we're taking your video calls in

the company of my saturday sidekick, the wonderful mike porky parry broadcasting and radio legend. okay, folks, let's get started . now in the light of get started. now in the light of gary lineker's comments about the crisis many have cited his right to free speech particular given the fact that he's not a presenter. so are those cancelling gary lineker guilty of double standards? do bbc stars have a right to express their opinion political matters so is in cheshire. hi, sue. hi, mark. what's your view? i'm very well. it's great to have you on the again, sue. we're always fascinated by what you think of do we have a right to hear what gary thinks about. do we have a right to hear what gary thinks about . politics oh gary thinks about. politics oh well having listened to everything all day with jp today my understanding is that he

hasn't actually broken his contract 40 has broken the bbc guidelines and i can say about member myself a member of the conservative party his opinion that on the migrant crisis migrant crisis doesn't me so i'm with my on this that what has really i have found disgusting morsy's attitude and is comments you know when john in germany in the 1930s is absolutely graceful and it should be reprimanded for that let's let's mike in if we can we can bring everyone in if you if you like cal let's let's pump up the full box meet the whole group of whatever got. mike absolutely. so thank you very much indeed. i'm a cheshire boy myself as well, so it's to great hear you on the show. and i didn't want to interrupt you, but so the i'm

but yeah, so the point i'm trying is bbc protocol trying to make is bbc protocol is bbc protocol. they can sort that out . i pay £149 every year. that out. i pay £149 every year. you do? well, you want a decent service. sort that out. i think it's 169. you get it . service. sort that out. i think it's169. you get it . i don't it's169. you get it. i don't say i have no discount. no, it gets paid automatically. somebody else. yeah. i think it's 169.69. okay. somebody else. yeah. i think it's169.69. okay. but somebody else. yeah. i think it's 169.69. okay. but the point i'm making and i will reiterate this again is totally offensive language . i think gary got a bit language. i think gary got a bit too for his own good when he said language that resembles what was being said in germany in the thirties. now, unless gary has been studying the history of germany through the decade of 1930 and what happened after that , he's no right to say after that, he's no right to say that anything a prime minister or a home secretary of the united kingdom who are trying to save of the people who come over the channel in tiny boats trying to save lives. he has no right to save lives. he has no right to condemn say sounds like

germany because as i've said to mark already , that led to 6.6 mark already, that led to 6.6 million people paying extra terminated in a desire by adults. hitler to wipe israel off the face of the earth. you can't compare the united kingdom today with that sort of totalitarian barbarity. andrew, in is not something that bothers you referencing the second world war because it's import andrew to point out that gary lineker has enjoyed a lot support from several public figures of celebrities and a big chunk of the public for the stand he's taking . yeah, it does bother me taking. yeah, it does bother me but before i start to just like to what an honour it is to be on the same show as mike patrick. i've got a piece which says a super professional sports commons site from broadcaster and a credit to his profession . and a credit to his profession. i'm very fond of saying. and a credit to his profession. i'm very fond of saying . thanks i'm very fond of saying. thanks for the money, mike. if right.

yeah. there's more on the way just to get back on subject. that's of that we don't want to see you go to any bigger andrew saying we don't want his ego any bigger . well just get back on bigger. well just get back on subjects i don't think bbc star should be entitled to free speech to be quite honest with you.the speech to be quite honest with you. the bbc, whether you like it or not, is supposed to be impartial . if it or not, is supposed to be impartial. if you go back right to the beginning, lord read the, first director—general of the bbc c, he stated impartial partiality and object , beauty or partiality and object, beauty or the essence of professionalism in fraud casting. i'm sure mike carey knows that so least they must toe the line you know their pay must toe the line you know their pay use huge amounts of money to present shows and you'd think that by being paid £13 million it would be a case of yes, no,

sir. three bags full, sir. you know, they have to abide , by the know, they have to abide, by the rules that they work under , rules that they work under, however, andrew, are they're not double standards because we've lord sugar and other bbc presenters being quite outspoken in the past and they have not received censure . i've not heard received censure. i've not heard anything. what lord sugar said. can you just tell me an of that. i think he was quite outspoken about the tory government being useless. and that was a year ago. indeed. okay well in that case then that should have been a case of making lord sugar and lord sugar accountable . his is lord sugar accountable. his is words . yeah, but be quite words. yeah, but be quite surprised that he got away with this. yeah can i, can i just come in the lord wasn't trying to bend political will. do you sort of mean he lord sugar is outspoken , a billionaire so he's outspoken, a billionaire so he's very independent on whichever station he works on include the

he can make a comment but he wasn't trying to it my view political will whereas gary lineker was trying to bend political will against the government which was voted with a 90 seat majority . and a 90 seat majority. and therefore i think it's wrong that it's anti democratic the other thing is that people . oh other thing is that people. oh well it wasn't gary lineker good at the start of the world cup in he made a statement saying how terrible it was about the conditions of workers and gets all the yes he did but he was in qatar for three weeks covering the world cup so he had to say something about it. he wasn't standing on the white cliffs. dover people come over dover watching people come over in small boats. when he made his comment about germany in the thirties, the point i'm making is that he had no real right to get involved . that story, he had get involved. that story, he had nothing to do with it. i can make a comment, but you can't try bend political will say you

are you're not happy about invoking the second world war but what about human rights to himself ? but what about human rights to himself? well, but what about human rights to himself ? well, contrary abc can himself? well, contrary abc can have free speech or a coffee party political and there's lots of things they could have said that would skirt around the political part . but say what you political part. but say what you want you to say in first place however. so he might say so . but however. so he might say so. but i want to interrupt you. but but lineker my argue that his comments were not political, but humanitarian . they are they were humanitarian. they are they were political because they were directly complaining about you and conservative government held . a c he could have he could have actually said e had sympathy for refugees , etc, etc. sympathy for refugees, etc, etc. but he shouldn't have gone directly a conservatives then policy that's where he's gone

wrong. okay so invoking that the thing he did about the and upsetting the jewish community. well, not just a community and jewish. a lot of us are upset about it and angry about it. and none of those accuse not anyway. well sue and andrew and mike, what a farce . awaiting waiting what a farce. awaiting waiting debate. plenty more to come . debate. plenty more to come. don't forget, it is the alternative of the day. from ten with myself and patrick christys . but coming up , with myself and patrick christys . but coming up, after all of this drama , is it time to defund this drama, is it time to defund the bbc? but before that . onto the bbc? but before that. onto a story that's been slightly by gary gates. will rishi sunak new small boats. bill be a game changer? see .

going to you're going to get, frame. mike, paul parry. we're going to you're going to get , to going to you're going to get, to you've drifted to. oh, no, there you've drifted to. oh, no, there you go . we lost you there for you go. we lost you there for a second. now let's get alan up if we can, because we do want to him on on mark dolan tonight, my porky parry help us out. alan made some very good points there, but you've ignored the fact that already 500,000 people all came to this country last yeah all came to this country last year. i'm talking about net migration of people coming people millions size the size liverpool. the size of liverpool absolutely right. and they went through the official channels . through the official channels. now you've paid tribute young men coming across the channel on boats , the young men coming boats, the young men coming across channel on boats or nicking a place in this country which should go to somebody who's to come here through , who's to come here through, legal channels, whatever anybody says, those come on, the small boats, cross—channel are illegal immigrants . you can't reward immigrants. you can't reward illegality. you have to say to people, you come here illegal .

people, you come here illegal. now, i agree with you. i'm very sceptical about this. you know, half a billion quid that we've given to the french. but given to the french. and but i have to say the prime minister is trying to do it right on both sides of channel. he's you know, he's given speeches and he's introduced , which he hopes get introduced, which he hopes get through the courts to make that people who want to come here, know there's a good chance they'll get sent back. the deterrent is easily the best way to do it. but you've got to go to do it. but you've got to go to and try and stop those in the boats in the first place. so i'm impressed with the prime minister for the amount of energy he's put it on both energy he's put into it on both sides the channel susan, sides of the channel susan, welcome to the come off and welcome back to the come off and share. great to have you on the program again many would argue this policy is cruel after all, you don't just jump into a dinghy and risk life and limb if you're not desperate . well you're not desperate. well i don't think it's cruel policy .

don't think it's cruel policy. think we've got to stop them because . you've got young men . because. you've got young men. we don't know who they we don't know where they come from. most of all we don't know what their intentions are because we do hear that a lot of them into the night. we've heard that they disappear out of the hotels and they go into the black economy and into the underground. and we just cannot have that keep coming and running through country. right. aurelie you go it is illegal to enter this country without permission and if you ropes open you url's without any documentation and you would be detained and you would be deported . and what would be deported. and what i don't understand is well, however , decades ago it was that however, decades ago it was that these were exactly used to happen. everybody keeps referring back to the 19th 51 convention, and that's why we can't put people we were

deporting people in the 1970s because if you took into this country and you've got no id , country and you've got no id, you should immediately border control would detain you? they would find out where you were from and you would be sent. would find out where you were from and you would be sent . you from and you would be sent. you stood absolutely no chance of starting in this country. stood absolutely no chance of starting in this country . and i starting in this country. and i think we need to go to those days because not only is illegal, you've got people like a friend of mine who comes the philippines. she's had to go through i think it's two years of tests doing , this, that and of tests doing, this, that and the other. it cost me a lot of money to gain legal in this country . now it's not fair on country. now it's not fair on like her when not just come across the channel poor they'd be in hotels that are lots of working people in country would love to go and stay in you've got people here that are finding things very difficult and then you've them coming across the channel they're being fed , being channel they're being fed, being put up nice and, warm, the cost

of living crisis isn't touching them and they have haven't country voted one single thing to economy. it is wrong they are illegal and it's got to stop . illegal and it's got to stop. okay. i mean alan, i had a lawyer on last night an immigration lawyer who said that we do not take our fair share. the on the continent of europe, that explodes. and he said we should take at least 100,000. what's your view that. well i would say more to say, well, see well, i'll come to you in one moment. sue ireland first, then sue, then mike. mike is totally right. we should be bringing in legal migrants, not illegal. right. we should be bringing in legal migrants, not illegal . and legal migrants, not illegal. and who's to blame that? they're not processing the illegal migrants. it's so slow. it's taken forever to process it. it's true. you know that the fraud goes back to the government time and the civil service . if we if they did

civil service. if we if they did their job civil service. if we if they did theirjob properly civil service. if we if they did their job properly there, civil service. if we if they did theirjob properly there, maybe we could get a fair input of people into this country. so sue, briefly and then mike. well, i think it's a non argument so many people keep saying, oh, you know germany take so many france take many. we are the most dense populated country in europe . and that's country in europe. and that's why we can't keep having them come over because where really we going to put them. we've got our own here. we've got our own people here. they've been waiting a long, long time to be accommodated in a good house. so where are they going to put these people that i keep saying also that let them come to sue say , sue, i sympathise with what say, sue, i sympathise with what you've had say. and mike, listen , you're an entrepreneur, you know about a balance , you know know about a balance, you know how to crunch the numbers and financially , i'm sick of people financially, i'm sick of people saying that britain is , a rich saying that britain is, a rich country, we're not rich anymore.

we've got a national debt of point £1 trillion and we're running a budget deficit at the moment, which means that every more is going out than comes in. rich emails . more is going out than comes in. rich emails. english. despite all the money that we have to borrow, you know, 300 billion for covid know a lot. we don't have a national debt the size of japan or even the usa sue is a very woman because she made the point that all salient and that is percentage wise you i see people on the telly the time saying oh germany takes more you know france more, italy takes more. no percentage wise to the population we take at about 16% of those who want to apply to come here and our population. okay on a yearly basis also sue made the point about the square mileage of our country. made the point about the square mileage of our country . we're a mileage of our country. we're a very small country and the square wise we take many more

into this country who can fit into this country who can fit into our country than germany france or germany and france are countries twice the size of ours. we do all bits okay welfare state people come here because they know they get a good deal coming up on the people's hour, we're asking is it finally time to defund the bbc's see in the light of gary gates? and by the way, on statement of facts and a bit of a correction on the detail there , the licence fee is £159, not 169. so i spoke in error. i've obviously got a direct i don't check it, but i feel poorer every time at least my bank account . but should we defund account. but should we defund the beeb?

that's thafs beeb that's beeb news has its own late night paper preview show headliners, where comedians take you through the next day's top news stories . you don't have to bother reading the newspaper. we've got

gates because , gary lineker's gates because, gary lineker's comments about the government migration plans have stoked considerable anger among many and bbc listeners. so has this row brought the organisation into disrepute following criticism of the beeb's coverage of brexit pandemic and boris johnson's 2019, election victory isfime johnson's 2019, election victory is time to defund the bbc. johnson's 2019, election victory is time to defund the bbc . see is time to defund the bbc. see who we speak to first, folks, let's go to fergus first and i think alan is with us as well. so fergus alan and mike fergus, welcome back the show. listen, i know you're a creative type. you're an actor. do voices do you think bbc should be defunded ? my father was first on the bbc in 1947. i loved a platform with passion , not for his personal passion, not for his personal parry . oh my passion, not for his personal parry. oh my god. sharing platform with mike. i would be watching show later. okay. my father's started working at the bbc in 1947. i started work for

the bbc in 1956. he until 1986. i on to 1976. back then they had 50 orchestras, one was just training and 40 the northern docks. and so 50 orchestras and i had to drop a repertory company. you may not have heard of which was actress join it and go on the radio for two and a half years with a guaranteed weekly wage . plus you got weekly wage. plus you got repeats later . it was weekly wage. plus you got repeats later. it was huge . you repeats later. it was huge. you have mr. story which my father was in at times and we called auntie. it was on tv. it was our passionate sing. now the bbc was remember what lord reset, educate, inform entertain . those educate, inform entertain. those are the three and the radio presenters had to wear dinner jackets and bow tie and the women had to be in smart dresses on the radio course, he said. otherwise you're not treating your people. the public properly. it was a long time ago

. it was until i'm sure i was. it's a long time ago. look, i admire you enormously for, standing up for the values of the traditional bbc , but my the traditional bbc, but my goodness, it has changed so enormously . it. you can get enormously. it. you can get everything you want from a day's news in a day's football now in about 3 minutes on your phone so to have this behemoth called the bbc spending billions of pounds because that's a budget billions of pounds is a complete nonsense particularly particularly you can be arrested if you don't pay your tax funder it's our money mike exactly . gary sorry. no you mike exactly. gary sorry. no you have to watch bbc. i watched . have to watch bbc. i watched. why do i love gb news? because i'm on a roll. yeah, of course you had mark and dan , i've. no, you had mark and dan, i've. no, i'm not going to go through all. but the point is gb news is for by the viewers voluntarily and

the advertising and the incredible bloke who created station i've been watching since day one i was even ready to watch the it started that's a private company it's not funded whether we like it or not. you're right, mark. i don't want to lose my money to gary to speak about something isn't his topic now, if jeremy is going every if david starkey you know how much i love him. but if david comes on gb news and he talks about he's allowed , if talks about he's allowed, if rees—mogg comes and talks about politics he's entitled to, that's his job. it's not a football pundit, right? to inqu football pundit, right? to insult british government. now was what the germans did in the 19305 was what the germans did in the 1930s and forties just because he wants keep his profile up it's what's called involved his cycle the arrogance of power and i think that's probably going to

go off okay well look alan there are millions of very happy bbc viewers and listeners . they get viewers and listeners. they get documentaries, they get drama , documentaries, they get drama, they get sport , they get radio. they get sport, they get radio. i mean, look at radio alone. some people say the radio two or radio four are worth the licence fee in itself. millions the bbc. what's the problem problem ? if what's the problem problem? if you'd asked me this question couple of months ago, i just said yes, let's stop funding bbc . it looks like in the last 24, 36 hours, there's actually shown some backbone . they have some backbone. they have reprimanded him about. some backbone. they have reprimanded him about . and yes reprimanded him about. and yes and all this is the bbc has supped and all this is the bbc has slipped very badly into the left wing cause all this lovey dovey is going on about. lbgt caring

about gender stuff. the man in the street really doesn't want to hear they want to hear the news. they want hear what's going on. now, the other gentleman was complimenting the head of gb news. i can take him to task a little bit because i think one of the most outspoken gun free speech commentators on gb news is mark steyn can bring him back stop trying to fill his 8:00 spot with has been jumping the tories you oh oh i know well let me yeah fergus i'll get that please let me come in mark. steyn is brilliant. i know marcus supported him so far. he's i love mark steyn. let's play he's i love mark steyn. let's play is fabulous. however ofcom will find millions of pounds and they will disappear. that is the problem is ofcom . it's not problem is ofcom. it's not mark's problem. it's not

problem. it's not other mark problem. it's not other mark problem. it's not other mark problem. it's because ofcom is working for the left the anti covid lockdown and the anti drug people, which stands still bringing up and lots of people on tv news are still bringing everything that mark steyn was thrown out for ofcom. fergus whilst whilst i've got all of your attention, let me tell you that i've been investigated by ofcom once or twice. i find them incredibly fair. they don't want to freedom of expression or debate they just don't want it to be slanted exclusively one direction. so i back mark steyn i also back ofcom as well. we chose on gb news used to be ofcom regulated and i think that reasonable that might be an unfashionable view. i agree, but i defend what they do. i don't think they're against speech, but i will say that i miss mark steyn he hero. so thank steyn. he is a hero. so thank you, folks. look, fergus smashed it. susan. alan andrew and of course sue. mike pokey is back at ten. so the alternative match

of the day big opinion.

there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth, on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more,

plus up to £900 in cost of living payments. next welcomes mark dolan tonight this welcomes mark dolan tonight this we are making radio and television history . we are making radio and television history. gary lineker has been suspended by his employers the bbc and the of match of the day have literally gone on strike and therefore at 10:00 i will be presenting the alternative match of the day alongside my brilliant colleague friend patrick christys got top punst friend patrick christys got top pundits goalmouth , action and pundits goalmouth, action and opinion that you could eat on forever. that the alternative match the day coming along at 10:00. speaking of which , in my 10:00. speaking of which, in my big opinion, the gary lineker

story reflects how the media and elites all out of step with . elites all out of step with. british public opinion wanting to stop the boats and, end a criminal enterprise does not make you a bad person . in the make you a bad person. in the big question, our electric cars overrated . we'll hear from all overrated. we'll hear from all sides on that one. plus, a street legend, kelvin mackenzie , with his take on the lineker saga. , with his take on the lineker saga . and the queen of showbiz saga. and the queen of showbiz royal reporting stateside , royal reporting stateside, kinsey schofield. so at 10:00, it is our alternative match of the day. can't wait for. now, the day. can't wait for. now, the match of the day on the bbc is going to be 20 minutes long. but we've got hour but before that lots to come including my big opinion is next. first, the headunes big opinion is next. first, the headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. mark thank you very much. and good evening. this is our top story at gb newsroom. this bbc boss, tim has apologised for

disruption to the broadcaster's sports shows but says he will not resign over the handling of the gary lineker row. it comes after mr. lineker was forced to step back from match of the day over a tweet criticising the government's migration policy. tonight's match, the day will only last 20 minutes and feature no commentary, no analysis or post—match interviews. football focus and final score will also cancel with several sports presenters working out in solidarity with . the prime solidarity with. the prime minister has said he hopes the bbc can resolve the issue in a timely manner , but has defended timely manner, but has defended the government's immigration policy. in a statement . in other policy. in a statement. in other news and jeremy hunt has told gb news he wants britain to have the most competitive business tax rates amid calls to scrap a planned hike in corporation . planned hike in corporation. ahead of the budget on the chancellor spoke to mcvey and philip davis his plans to deliver growth and inflation.

said the corporation tax increase from 19 to 25% would still leave the uk with a rate than nearly all major rival . but than nearly all major rival. but he said he was committed to previous promises of bringing corporation tax down. what we now have is a responsible outlook for public finance since the markets have recognised that by bringing down mortgage rates, interest rates and we're on track to bring inflation down. but if you're saying to me as a conservative chancellor, do i want to bring down taxes? well, i want to bring down personal taxes because . that is at the taxes because. that is at the heart of what being a conservative is. but i want bnng conservative is. but i want bring down business taxes, even more . a 29 year old man has been more. a 29 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences after a woman was stabbed outside leisure centre in cheltenham. woman was attacked around 915 on thursday evening on tommy taylors lane. she sustained severe injuries but remains in a stable condition in hospital . the man

condition in hospital. the man is currently being questioned . is currently being questioned. counter—terrorism officers and gloucestershire police says it believes it was an isolated incident . and west midlands incident. and west midlands police have said a man has been stabbed to death at. a nightclub in walsall. officer were called to felicia's nightclub in the town centre just after 5:00 this morning after reports that someone had been stabbed . the someone had been stabbed. the man died while on the way to the hospital just an hour later. officers say no arrests have been made as of yet. urging anyone was in the nightclub at the time to come forward . tv the time to come forward. tv onune the time to come forward. tv online and the abbey plus radio . this is gb news. now it's back to mark dolan tonight. my to mark dolan tonight. my thanks to tatiana sanchez , my thanks to tatiana sanchez, who returns in an hour's time with what's happening in an hour . well, we like to break a bit

of ground on this show and on the channel. so we'll be making radio and television . gary radio and television. gary lineker has been suspended . the lineker has been suspended. the bbc and the staff of match of the day gone on strike. that programme you won't believe this is 20 minutes long with no presenters and no guests. well, i feel it's my public duty to entertain the people of britain and therefore we will do a special show is called the alternative match the day. i've called in the services of my brilliant friend and colleague patrick christie's and we'll have goalmouth action and top punditry . from ten until 11. it punditry. from ten until 11. it won't cost a penny. it won't cost you £159. and i won't charge 1.3 million to present it. so welcome to a very busy couple of hours to come. looking to many debates, in my big opinion, the gary lineker story reflects how the media and political elites are wildly out of step with british public opinion wanting to stop the

boats and end a criminal enterprise . this does not make enterprise. this does not make you a person. fleet street . you a person. fleet street. kelvin mackenzie will be to here us. what he makes of the story , us. what he makes of the story, how the bbc brought this on themselves . and it's saturday themselves. and it's saturday night , so we themselves. and it's saturday night, so we will be joined by the queen us showbiz royal and pulitzer reporting kinsey schofield . the oscars this schofield. the oscars this weekend anyone care. and also how many? gary lineker is all there in hollywood. i suspect a few thousand. so that's kinsey later this hour in the big question more and people are turning to electric cars but are they all they're cracked to be? we'll debate that shortly . we'll debate that shortly. reacting to the big stories of the day my all star panel, some times that's a lie. tonight, it's the truth. tv presenter and showbiz christopher biggins. dapper team leader of ukip and political commentator rebecca jane and news broadcasting legend john sargeant, who it used to work for the beeb . but used to work for the beeb. but then he saw sense and moved over to itn . now i want to hear from

to itn. now i want to hear from you throughout the mark at gbnews.uk . this programme has gbnews.uk. this programme has a golden rule. what is that rule? well, we don't do boring. not on my watch . i just won't have it. my watch. i just won't have it. so the next 2 hours, big debates , big guests, and always big opinions with . the alternative. opinions with. the alternative. match of the day at ten. but first, this . the elite don't get first, this. the elite don't get it, do they? they didn't get it in 2016 with the referenda did result. they didn't get it in 2019 with the boris land's and they don't get now. with the migrant crossing phase which to anyone with half a brain are clearly an humanitarian and national security disaster. they're making a crisis out of a drama. multimillionaire x footballers alan shearer and ian wright have pulled of their appearance on match of the day in solidarity with st gary . even

in solidarity with st gary. even the commentators on match of the day who you've never heard of and journalist in the tunnel have downed tools. these numpty . joining a long tradition of . . joining a long tradition of. pubuc . joining a long tradition of. public sector workers going on strike whilst . the media elites strike whilst. the media elites might be passing themselves on the back for taking such a principled stand. all they're really doing is drawing attention to how out of touch they are from reality and the mood of the british people . take mood of the british people. take a look at this rather tweet from politics. professor matthew goodwin , who is an expert on the goodwin, who is an expert on the red wall. goodwin tweeted the following every day conservative ministers are on news saying stop the boats is a win for the conservative party. our national conversation does not reflect the public mood , even writes on the public mood, even writes on french president emmanuel macron thinks . it's got to stop, too, thinks. it's got to stop, too, as he outlined a plan in paris

yesterday with the pm to get this sorted . is he a bad person this sorted. is he a bad person too by way? sunak am. macron had quite the bromance yesterday, didn't they? it all got very brokeback mountain. i nearly got my tissues out so i won't take any lectures from millionaire ex footballers terms of their woke credentials and their moral rectitude . premier league rectitude. premier league footballers . moral. do me footballers. moral. do me a favour . a footballers. moral. do me a favour. a good number of them. like saint gary employee . the like saint gary employee. the very best accountants with the ever woke lineker , currently in ever woke lineker, currently in a tussle with to get his tax bill down by several million . bill down by several million. they're all incredibly privileged. they're pampered individuals, the likes of gary lineker and the well—heeled woke elite don't seem to realise that the public have had enough of . the public have had enough of. the chaotic and tragic scenes on our coastline and, they've had enough of the community of migrant hotels which are costing

the taxpayer a cool £7 million a day. wanting that to stop doesn't make them bad people . doesn't make them bad people. you can stand in solidarity all you like with . lineker, who you like with. lineker, who enjoys the secluded comforts of a london mansion . but public a london mansion. but public anger about how and where people are being accommodated is a real issue. and sunak is right to do something about. issue. and sunak is right to do something about . the problem something about. the problem with these virtue signalling footballers is like anyone that pretends to be woke, they seek the moral high ground and they claim the territory of being the nice people. but nothing nice about poor tragic souls perishing in these boats. there's nothing nice about the international gangsters who make millions promising people. the lie of a new life in britain. and there's nice about people in, small villages and towns in. this country whose lives been turned upside down by, migrant accommodation . gary and his

accommodation. gary and his millionaire mates don't get it. and why should they? given the fact that they don't live in the real world. the great irony is that lineker's decision to take a strong political stance will hurt his employers more than anyone else in what been a disastrous week for the bbc and decision to spark the so—called wars. with his contentious tweets will likely haunt an opinion in support of sunak's new approach and far from calling outs and vilifying this conservative government . lineker conservative government. lineker may have his bit to secure them another five years in power . another five years in power. this footballer may not realise it yet , but he scored a massive it yet, but he scored a massive own goal. it's game over for gary . now what own goal. it's game over for gary. now what do you think? many would argue gary lineker has been consistent. his humanitarian views and that he has done a huge amount charity. he's taken in refugees himself

and he uses his to give a voice to those have none. and there are many top lawyers and other commentators who judge the migrant policy to be deeply unfair, illegal and they consider it to cast in a deeply xenophobic or , even racist light xenophobic or, even racist light . lineker's 8 million followers on twitter and his huge popularity on multiple networks would also suggest the public do not have a problem with him combining issues of conscience with his job as sports broadcaster. that's not view, but that's the view of many . but that's the view of many. what do you think, mark gb news dot uk. should he stay in post at match of the day? let's get a reaction now . my all star panel. reaction now. my all star panel. tv presenter. actor, comedian and broadcaster christopher the deputy leader . ukip and deputy leader. ukip and political commentator rebecca jane. the former political editor , itn. and of course bbc editor, itn. and of course bbc news as well. john sargeant . and news as well. john sargeant. and john, i've got to start with you. am i being a little hard on

gary ? no particularly hard . i gary? no particularly hard. i mean, most of what you say is perfectly true. i think the problem is, is that he doesn't seem to have the sort of respect for the bbc say that people like me . had i worked for the bbc for me. had i worked for the bbc for 30 years mostly a political correspondent and of course we were well very proud of the organisation and very proud, of course, about the impartiality. now as news people, we knew that perfectly. we didn't need to be told oh, don't get involved in party politics now. you didn't have at that time all the social media pressures and you didn't the feeling that we represent these people at these million people he's said to represent . people he's said to represent. so the situation was very different , but in so the situation was very different, but in a simple way , different, but in a simple way, he's just being rude and unpleasant to the people who are employing him , okay. i mean, employing him, okay. i mean, rebecca jane , are we being rebecca jane, are we being a little hard on gary? he's got millions of fans out there. not hard enough in. my opinion. gary

lineker consistently milked multi—million pound mansion because he doesn't face the problems people in this country are facing and can chastises all, but he's completely , all, but he's completely, totally underestimating the system . so what's currently system. so what's currently happening is this we've obviously we've got migrants who are posing as adults the convicted criminals sitting in children's classrooms. and you why he's not bothered because he can afford to put his children or former into private education so they won't be sat amongst . so they won't be sat amongst. and let's not forget the case of the 21 year old who was murdered by an immigrant who was actually convicted criminal and he'd been convicted criminal and he'd been convicted of double murder. so gary can do whatever he wants and says what he wants, but because he's not suffering the effects and he's complete alien, obsolete, insultingly underestimating the concern of parents in this country. underestimating the concern of parents in this country . okay. parents in this country. okay. christopher biggins , what's your christopher biggins, what's your view on gary gates ? well, i view on gary gates? well, i think that it's such a waste

time in a way that what we've been talking about all this week is him what we must get right is the fact that hundreds of people are dying , the fact that hundreds of people are dying, coming across the fact that hundreds of people are dying , coming across the are dying, coming across the water, that this is awful . i water, that this is awful. i mean, we see sites of children and adults , men, women getting and adults, men, women getting these boats illegally , you know, these boats illegally, you know, paying these boats illegally, you know, paying a lot of to money people and dying at the end of it. this can't be right. so and dying at the end of it. this can't be right . so what do you can't be right. so what do you say? sort of agree with. but i mean, i it's not at least he's not saying at the at the beginning of his about football you know blackpool to arsenal three. and by the way what about all the migrants coming across. think you know he's saying something perhaps he shouldn't have said or whatever but he's got an opinion now i have an opinion that should do something about the migrants coming over, something very serious. about the migrants coming over, something very serious . yes. something very serious. yes. look, john sargeant, i would argue pretty bonkers that the

current bbc chairman was appointed by boris johnson after receiving a loan just shy of £1,000,000. but that's, i guess , conversation for another day. but that's certainly not a policy would defend if you were the dg, if you were in tim davis shoes , how would you deal with shoes, how would you deal with gary lineker ? would he be going gary lineker? would he be going back to match of the day time soon? no, i think it's past it? i think it's quite clear that gary lineker loves the fact he's got into this position . he got into this position. he doesn't seem to be you know, he doesn't seem to be you know, he doesn't need to be worried about. it is waving to the crowds in leicester this afternoon. it's sort of being cheered on. said he'd never felt so much from his supporters. i mean so and i think he's sort he's got into his own funny isn't he the idea of him back or saying to the director general, oh, i'm sorry about this, i will try make sure that i'm more sensible in future. i don't see saying that. and i think he will

continue to say i've got a right to say it. i don't quite know where he thinks his right comes from, but a sort of general idea that freedom of speech should trump everything else, whereas the rest of us, we work for. trump everything else, whereas the rest of us, we work for . we the rest of us, we work for. we don't shout out what we don't always shout out what we feel all the time because of freedom of speech . freedom of freedom of speech. freedom of speech is actually something you got to be quite careful with . got to be quite careful with. and all have in our lives not and we all have in our lives not not being to be rude or shout things. no, we live in a society . if you are in the bbc in whatever form , you've got to be whatever form, you've got to be careful what you say it's necessary to and to try get another director general . i another director general. i thought his performance this evening in the interview was disappointing. you didn't feel any sense of authority . you any sense of authority. you didn't think, oh is actually someone that's talking tough and knows what he wants to do ? at knows what he wants to do? at one stage you said, i'm in listening mode. shouldn't be in listening mode. shouldn't be in listening mode. shouldn't be in listening mode. he should be doing an instructing mode. he's

to be the most powerful broadcasting executive live probably in the world there's this man saying, oh , it sort of this man saying, oh, it sort of has come up sort of quite and we didn't quite know what to do. they've known about gary lineker a very long time when the dg into office saying above , i want into office saying above, i want to increase the idea of trust and impartiality in the bbc well someone could have just said oh excuse me dg have you thought about your, your most expensive contract journalist yes, he's a sports journalist called gary lineker. have you heard about him? it would absurd for them not to be told that this could be a problem so the next time they were discussing gary lineker, his contract , they lineker, his contract, they should have said it. but i just want clear a few things up. i'm new to job. there's a new new to this job. there's a new director but do want director general. but i do want to quite clear that i mean to make quite clear that i mean this and it does mean you will not have much freedom as perhaps you thought you or perhaps you thought you had, or perhaps people thought they in the people thought they had in the past. john, briefly, you

past. and john, briefly, you can and me, for and forgive me, panel, for focusing john. john was at focusing john. but john was at the for decades and you the beeb for decades and you really were a hero of mine your analysis is of the days politics, your moments with margaret thatcher and others were iconic and memorable is gary lineker damaging the bbc ? gary lineker damaging the bbc? we speak and would sack him. he's definitely damaging the bbc and i would just simply say, well, i'm sorry, you can't agree to our terms we want you to be very , very careful in future very, very careful in future about you say and what you tweet if you can't do that. i'm very sorry. we think you're a great broadcaster. goodbye. all well, there you go. succinct as always .john there you go. succinct as always . john sargeant, also delighted to have christopher biggins on rebecca jane, what a panel tonight. they'll back shortly. don't forget at 10:00 i'm presenting a brand new show . it presenting a brand new show. it is the alternative match of the day with pundits. plenty of opinion but no virtue signalling . i won't be charging £13 million to host the show. you'll reaction to my big opinion and

the thoughts of my panel. mark gbnews.uk, should gary lineker stay in post as the host of a match the day. next up , are match the day. next up, are electric cars overrated ? see you electric cars overrated? see you

in two. the countdown is . on precisely the countdown is. on precisely 37 minutes. we will be making television and radio . gary television and radio. gary lineker has suspended by the bbc the staff of match of the day have gone on strike. their show is 20 minutes long tonight i'm, giving you an hour from . that's giving you an hour from. that's right the alternative match of the day in 36 and a half minutes time don't be late and we starting bang on ten by the way, it's starting bang on ten by the way, wsfime starting bang on ten by the way, it's time for this. starting bang on ten by the way, it's time for this . yes, it's it's time for this. yes, it's time for the big question . this time for the big question. this week, reports show that sales of

cars have fallen with stiff competition coming from cheaper than in the view of some more options, including hybrid models and traditional petrol and diesel engined cars . so has the diesel engined cars. so has the bottom fallen out of the electric car market. are electric car market. are electric cars all? they're cracked to be to debate this? i'm delighted to welcome howard cox , founder of fair fuel uk , cox, founder of fair fuel uk, and also sustainable journalist rik bulimia . and also sustainable journalist rik bulimia. rik, welcome to the show. nice to have you on the program . yeah, electric . there's program. yeah, electric. there's no way to charge them. the goes bad after a few and they're very expensive what's the point . expensive what's the point. well, i mean,t expensive what's the point. well, i mean, tt expensive what's the point. well, i mean, t t very inaccurate fact to start off with by actually charge my car at home and i, you know, takes my roof fully all 20 seconds to charge my car home from work. plug it in. wake up the next

morning charged and off we go again. so i think that, you know, if you're lucky enough to have a home charger, it is a great way to get around. and i've not met anyone on this gone electric that would back to petrol afraid . rick doesn't petrol i'm afraid. rick doesn't the range shrink over time in the range shrink over time in the way it would do on an iphone because iphone used to work all day long a year ago now i get a morning out of it. day long a year ago now i get a morning out of it . well mark morning out of it. well mark well firstly with with certain cars they can do over the air updates nowadays and the tech in the in some of these is absolutely phenomenal and actually my car i've been driving electric for three years now and did an over—the—air update once and it actually it more range because the car manufacturers have thought ahead of that they thought the problems of battery degradation and they made sure that these batteries and the warranties that come them actually make sure you are getting what they say on the tin. i do agree, though, the cold weather does

make the battery shrink and it does make it difficult on a long journeys. but bear in mind , 99% journeys. but bear in mind, 99% of journeys nowadays are 100 miles anyway. and most, most electric cars is gets at least two and jamal's of range anyway let me tell you that the cold weather makes a lot of things shnnk weather makes a lot of things shrink how it comes . i'm quite shrink how it comes. i'm quite impressed by rick bulimia that he's pointed out your car a software update and also let's not forget the emissions from these electric cars. well it's just nothing it's fantastic for air quality you're absolutely right mark it's good to be on your show. and i'm forward to it. match of the day. i'm but one of the things it's all very well, i mean, i think the electric vehicle is the technology. to technology. they're to great drive. fantastic. and i'm drive. it's fantastic. and i'm i'm that out of way i'm getting that out of the way straightaway. not mtv, but because of the litany of huge disadvantages combined with huge energy prices. i'm most of the

traditional fossil fuel drivers afraid are not convinced to move over. afraid are not convinced to move over . i'm afraid are not convinced to move over. i'm still 97% of afraid are not convinced to move over . i'm still 97% of the of over. i'm still 97% of the of what's on our roads are run by petrol and diesel and what we've got to realise that they're expensive there is this range anxiety. it's all very well saying oh i'm a 100 miles an hour up to that. oh so you got 210 of the charge and sit around for 2 hours to charge up all sorts of practicalities. and one of my supporters has just sent me through literally half an hour about his van. he's hour ago, about his van. he's just bought a new electric van. he's back to diesel simply he's going back to diesel simply because he's got so downtime wasting , he can't do any because he's got so downtime wasting, he can't do any more deliveries. it's those sorts of things. so we've got to work together and start and let's face it with the government, with that draconian 2030 diesel petrol ban evs will never get actually the road unless that ban stays in place . and i think ban stays in place. and i think it's very uncompetitive when are other cleaner fuel technologies 7 other cleaner fuel technologies ? quick update the countdown clock is live. it's 28 minutes

until the alternative match of the day. but rick , up bulimia. the day. but rick, up bulimia. listen the problem with electric cars, they can't last the full 90 minutes, can they ? range 90 minutes, can they? range anxiety and time wasted sitting around charging up your car. if we have the infrastructure that great but we don't but you're probably not wrong on a few levels there and the charging infrastructure is a bit lacking . the public network at the moment but bear in mind we have electric charge points everywhere. you know you if you really wanted to plug your into a three pin plug it will take a very long time to charge. but we have things like . the ap seven have things like. the ap seven kilowatt charger which goes on the side of your house and you can pump your car in, you can even share that with the neighbours. are apps like neighbours. there are apps like the charger app which enables the co charger app which enables people their charger. people to share their charger. so can be charging so technically can be charging up overnight. you could be charging up at work. there are so many different ways to charge an electric it's

an electric now. it's ridiculous. do agree that ridiculous. okay do agree that the public network is an issue on a up to newcastle recently a five or six hour length journey and one of the chargers didn't work. it had bev a knock on effect. but once we got to a destination we found a charger. no problem. and new step overnight i'm i'm open your message because 13 years ago i bought a prius and look it's completely battered now because i drive it very badly but it runs great and it's a hybrid so i think it's great to have that element of electric but there is clearly there are there pros and cons. let's bring my panel if i can. so do there howard and rick and let's in christopher biggins rebecca jane and john sergiu and john of course not just an esteemed political journalist but . well, quite the petrolhead but. well, quite the petrolhead . john, what are you driving at the moment . well i just recently the moment. well i just recently bought an electric car, a new electric car, renault zone . and

electric car, renault zone. and inoficed electric car, renault zone. and i noticed the day it was being delivered it was february the 14th. so then i wrote article for the de telegraaf saying. this is my most romantic moment. it's a wonderful car. and normally with mary, i don't we don't go on that much my time. but this was my great valentine present and it's been terrific, i must say, absolutely superb little car. oh, well, there you go. well, that's good to hear. begins you've gone electric as well, haven't you? i have been electric for six years, if you pardon expression . but i tell pardon expression. but i tell you what, i agree with rick, for instance, you have to have charger at home because he's absolutely right. you get home, you put the charger on, and the next morning you're fully charged to go off. i it's a car only for major cities. i mean, i was going to darlington to do pantomime at christmas and we were all starting to pack our little car ready to go. and i panicked because it was a long way to darlington and i didn't want not find to charge. so want not to find to charge. so in fact end cost me a fortune to

get hire car to take me there . get hire car to take me there. but there are so many perks . but there are so many perks. london for instance, you can park westminster for 4 hours for £1.62, and then you can extend it for another 4 hours. so that's marvellous. there's no congestion charge . it's very, congestion charge. it's very, very economical to run an electric car . so that very economical to run an electric car. so that is one of the pluses. okay the problem with parking in westminster is you might bump into a member of parliament. no one wants that to happen. rebecca jane, what are your thoughts on? electric. i think you've got a you've got a bit of a bit of a gas guzzler, haven't you? yeah, i'm still on a range rover and which is about the worst thing you can say. you didn't get the memo? no, it's not for me. you know, we had this discussion a year ago where edwina perry was trying to tell me that a tesla was £250 a month and it was a load of nonsense. and i said then and i'm going to say it again, the country is not built for it. the infrastructure's not there. and

you what? has you know what? nothing has changed since we had that conversation in one whole year. and that lives in and as somebody that lives in the countryside, it's just impossible. virtually impossible. let virtually impossible. let virtually impossible. so am i out. nothing's changing . i don't nothing's changing. i don't envisage it happening any time soon. okay. all right. well the clock is against us because i can tell you now, the stopwatch is live and we are precisely 28 minutes away from the alternative match of the day but listen, a few seconds, please , listen, a few seconds, please, rick. and to howard . closing rick. and to howard. closing thoughts . howard, if we don't go thoughts. howard, if we don't go electric, we're going to have dirty air. we're going to have emissions. and the is going to burn down what a lot of old codswallop . the seriously what's codswallop. the seriously what's going to happen ? we've got a going to happen? we've got a budget coming on wednesday . budget coming on wednesday. forget we did you remember that 7 forget we did you remember that ? hunt said in his autumn statement that he's going be taxed somehow. we don't know how that's going to happen at the moment in time and can i just

say i commissioned the cbo economic research if we go all electric by 2030 which is what this draconian edict from this draconian edict coming from government forcing us to do, government is forcing us to do, we can this cost us five times more than the environmental benefits. every household will have to pay £1,000 to net zero 2050 for the privilege for to have sanctimoniously drive an electric . okay with similar electric. okay with similar brevity, thank for that how howard what a pro rik look you know , as i said, there are know, as i said, there are arguments for and against, but what about the finite nature of those minerals that go into car batteries , the cruel manner in batteries, the cruel manner in which they are mine and well, you know, you need cobalt for refining petrol and diesel cars as well. so you could go into that. but the fact is we need energy in this in this country if we have to rely on other to provide our fuel, petrol is only going to get more expensive . going to get more expensive. we've got no control over it poisonous. we need to stop stuff

first and foremost. and if we have energy and we can harness power of the sun to give us solar power, which would effectively mean we run our cars on free solar energy all the time and battery storage, then actually laughing. and this current this country needs to invest in renewables right now ? invest in renewables right now? not not yesterday rolling out and we and we will be okay in the long run. rick, it's been great to have you on the show for the first time. i'm sorry, butchering your surname. rick budimir is sustainable transport journalist and my good friend howard cox founder of fair fuel uk , who is a real hero. and uk, who is a real hero. and you'll be hearing from him a lot in the run up to next week's budget . howard in the run up to next week's budget. howard is in the run up to next week's budget . howard is always budget. howard is always speaking for drivers. my to both gentlemen, your reaction market gbnews.uk it is 26 minutes until we make television and radio history with the alternative match of the day. it costs you. i'm doing it for free it's an

hour as opposed to the bbc you are giving you 20 minutes. we've presenters we've got personality and of course goalmouth action all of that to come but next stop how many gary lineker is all there in hollywood. we'll be finding out from showbiz queen kinsey schofield. she's .

next patrick christys has just been in the studio smelling fragrant. and let me tell you that the stopwatch is live and we are precisely 22 minutes away from television and radio history. we are the people's channel you've been deprived of a full length match of the day everyone at the beebis match of the day everyone at the beeb is on strike or sacked, so the alternative match of the day starts 10:00. be there . myself starts 10:00. be there. myself and patrick. we are live at ten. we've even got rid of the news headunes we've even got rid of the news headlines because this is a story of national importance .

story of national importance. it's time now though for us news with the queen of us, showbiz royal and political reporting, kinsey schofield. hi, kinsey . kinsey schofield. hi, kinsey. hi, mark i can confirm that patrick christys like fresh laundry , you know, a nice sunny laundry, you know, a nice sunny meadow . his fiancee laundry, you know, a nice sunny meadow. his fiancee is a laundry, you know, a nice sunny meadow . his fiancee is a lucky meadow. his fiancee is a lucky lady now , can we talk about the lady now, can we talk about the duke and duchess of sussex who are going to who are going to enjoy some at the oscars, but possibly not for the right reasons ? that's right. the new reasons? that's right. the new york post is reporting that harry and meghan might be on the receiving end of some comedy at this oscar ceremony . receiving end of some comedy at this oscar ceremony. pr receiving end of some comedy at this oscar ceremony . pr experts this oscar ceremony. pr experts tell the paper that recent roast by south and chris rock have really opened up the floodgates now. host kimmel over the last few months, we've seen him be absolute lutely ruthless to the duke and duchess of sussex. so all eyes tomorrow night will be

all eyes tomorrow night will be all to see what exactly he says about you know , mr. tiger mrs. about you know, mr. tiger mrs. titles indeed and tell us about an oscars misfire what's gone wrong or which one mark? i mean the oscars went from 40 million viewers to now 60 i believe it was last year's the year before that it was ten. and we know that it was ten. and we know that everybody tuned last year for the slap . but a recent for the slap. but a recent yougov survey of 2000 movie lovers compared to, you know, expert predicts wins show just how out of touch this year's ceremony might be for instance normal viewers and i we want to see top gun maverick. we want to see top gun maverick. we want to see tom cruise when best. but experts are predicting that this art film every everything everywhere all at once is going to be what takes home the trophy this year. and i it's just another example of why people tuning out it's typically movies

that aren't necessarily that win i think the issue you will have heard about the drama around gary lineker, a sports presenter in this country, a soccer star. he played for england for leicester forever , and tottenham leicester forever, and tottenham hotspur . leicester forever, and tottenham hotspur. he's one of the best paid presenters in the country, kinsey. but he's in hot water with his employers for a series of very political tweets in relation the government's migration policy, all that gary lineker types in hollywood . i lineker types in hollywood. i mean , i mean not only in mean, i mean not only in hollywood, but in news, too. i think it's one of the reasons why we don't admire or speak about dan rather the way we would had he not gone. you know, he really exploded during a dunng he really exploded during a during the trump presidency. but if you want to talk specifics in hollywood, how do you alec baldwin, who completely seen his brand crumble under and under his out this when it comes to

politics we've got john lennon chrissy teigen who were pop culture icon . everybody loved culture icon. everybody loved them. they were the quirky couple and they were so a toxic and disruptive of during the trump presidency that really tuned out of not only their but their entertainment projects. katy perry during the 2016 campaign was very outspoken and in in support of hillary clinton forgiven her solely due to her wardrobe . but yeah i think that wardrobe. but yeah i think that there are too many to count. deborah messing was another actress that absolutely adored, but was so hateful during the trump president, susan sarandon was blacklist noted in hollywood for her support of sanders. so i think it's a very long list. it is. and it really surprises me. i think there are echoes of my big opinion earlier in the show in which i said that there were a lot of celebrities speaking out in support of gary lineker this british presenter . and it's this british presenter. and it's my view that the media elites

are just out of touch with british public opinion. i wonder whether . that's true in america whether. that's true in america that the hollywood elites are out of touch with americans who are struggling with the cost of living. and i remember the tip presidential in which hillary clinton welcomed on stage a variety of hollywood stars . it variety of hollywood stars. it didn't seem to do her any favours . in some ways, it was favours. in some ways, it was a turn off for voters within them. yeah, i remember lady performed at something . i don't . i do at something. i don't. i do think that people sit back and 90, think that people sit back and go, i don't care. i don't care who you're voting because you can pay your rent on time and struggling to do that. so yeah, it does just remind people that they're in a very different position and morally in a lot of these cases and, you know, busy philipps is an actress here i don't know if you're familiar with her work she was a really great show called freaks and geeks. great show called freaks and geeks . you know, they just that geeks. you know, they just that the stories thing, you

the abortion stories thing, you know, they start trying to trend things like that that are are you know, they upset people . i you know, they upset people. i mean morally and emotionally and finan really and everything. we start to realise that we don't have a lot in common with these people that we and we feel pockets full of money every time we buy movie or go sit down in a theatre, watch them, listen kinsey you're so right. i cannot wait to see you in may for the king's coronation coming to the uk and you be our star guest on mark dolan tonight my thanks to the brilliant kinsey schofield, check out her podcast to , die check out her podcast to, die for her popular website of for daly, her popular website of the same name . kinsey, see you the same name. kinsey, see you in a week's time. the same name. kinsey, see you in a week's time . look, this is in a week's time. look, this is really challenging my mathematics, but it is 16 minutes until the alternate match of the day. it's an hour. it's myself and patrick christys and a host of top names giving you the highlights from the premier league this afternoon lost to get through don't go anywhere next stop how the bbc bought drama on themselves.

we'll discuss with a top former newspaper editor. don't go anywhere .

well, it is precisely 12 minutes until we make television and radio history. we are the people's channel and we are giving you the match of the day because the beeb have gone on strike and we are here to deliver an hour of top football guests celebrating the beautiful game and the most watched sporting in the world. the engush sporting in the world. the english premier league now . the english premier league now. the bbc's saturday football schedule was ripped to shreds today after a number of bbc pundits stepped down from presenting in solidarity with gary lineker . solidarity with gary lineker. lineker was suspended from presenting match of the day after his controversial tweet on the government's asylum policy breached bbc guidelines . but is breached bbc guidelines. but is this rule one of the lineker's

making or of the bbc's ? to making or of the bbc's? to debate this, i'm delighted to welcome mogul, a former national newspaper editor of course the founder of talksport. many other projects. he's worth a few . it's projects. he's worth a few. it's kelvin mackenzie. hi, kelvin . hi kelvin mackenzie. hi, kelvin. hi there. good evening . have the there. good evening. have the beeb brought this on themselves? kelvin well , beeb brought this on themselves? kelvin well, i'm delighted that this moment has come. it was quite clear that lineker was basically giving a v sign to their owner rules. you try that in your own . you say to angelos, in your own. you say to angelos, you know, i've decided to do x. and he says, don't do it. see how long you're on air. and that's the same whether you're running for marks and spencer or any company bbc, anything. so he's crossed the line and he also makes clear that he's going to cross the line again. so there's no question of in coming back, because if he comes back , back, because if he comes back, then the director general will

have to go because the rule will be so . and the strength have be so. and the strength have moved from the management to the employee actually a freelance employer at that. so that his career at the bbc now over. and the other thing that i dislike that's going on right now i don't know whether you've noficed don't know whether you've noticed but in the in the popular papers tonight you will see a suggestion that that that tim davie will have to go. he won't have to go. what i do suspect happen is that the chairman will have to go. i think that shaw, who his job after arranging a loan for boris johnson through a relative and then he gets the his position was untenable anyway and now it's being used against and so i that's over but for the may i'm enjoying this the idea that

people are all walking out on these guys are all making for 500,000 a year on our money right. they're all walking out and. anybody gives us stuff all has to do is just tough them out. and by the way if they all go fantastic cost base of the bbc will have come down. we want the cost base to come down. after all, firing by the hundreds anyway . you know, this hundreds anyway. you know, this is the thing that idea that we can't get along . right. 25 years can't get along. right. 25 years ago, this may have been an issue .today ago, this may have been an issue . today we've got bt sport talks . we've got sky massive sporting behemoth. you know we can get on well without them. you want to know what the results are ? i know what the results are? i don't know whether anybody seen one of these before. you know, we have a we have a phone. you know, so the bottom line on all this is that it doesn't what the bbc does in one respect, i have to pay. you have to pay 159 quid. and therefore we funding

people like lineker actually to tell us things we don't want hean tell us things we don't want hear. so were he to come back? thatisit. hear. so were he to come back? that is it . i hear. so were he to come back? that is it. i am not paying and i. i have, you know, i've only got 50,000 followers on twitter , but they will all join in. nobody's paying. so see who get see how. let's see how lineker gets paid when our lot those people who object to what's being said. right. finally say we're not funding the bbc anymore. i would recommend you kelvin. a follow on twitter . kelvin. a follow on twitter. kelvin, i loved your viral video . this story that went out , it's . this story that went out, it's touched a raw nerve . let's bring touched a raw nerve. let's bring in a couple of bbc kelvin into this conversation . the brilliant this conversation. the brilliant political broadcaster john sargeant . radio and tv legend sargeant. radio and tv legend christopher biggins , the deputy christopher biggins, the deputy leader of ukip rebecca jane big . do you feel as i and kelvin

does, that the bbc have been asleep at the wheel , this one asleep at the wheel, this one unaware of colossal damage? this is doing their reputation . then is doing their reputation. then the question and i think they've been like this so long afraid and this is just the tip of the iceberg has exploded in their and they will have to do very very stringent and strong to combat if they don't bear out . combat if they don't bear out. yeah well i think that's the issue. rebecca jane where now for the bbc , their critics have for the bbc, their critics have been gifted a massive stick with which to beat them this week. yeah and they haven't i'm going to say it's about to i've been a fan of the bbc they've just got a mainstream agenda that i don't to listen to and it's absolute load nonsense. can't wait until day that we do absolutely defund them and channels like obviously wonderful station beating them and for a reason because , you and for a reason because, you know, we're all tired of it. we're sick of it. it was sick of a mainstream agenda. we want to

hear what real people and real thoughts are. and they don't represent sides a story ever represent sides of a story ever .john represent sides of a story ever . john sargeant i know will defend the beeb and i've got to say there's some amazing radio and tv that's made documentaries , world service, radio for the news coverage a lot . it is good, news coverage a lot. it is good, but the licence speak can't be long for this world. well no. the challenge probably will have to change, but the idea that this could be a country without . the bbc. now wait a moment. it would be a worse country . i would be a worse country. i think if you if you asked people that question right across the country they know how much appreciate all parts of the bbc perhaps in different ways and they have different views but for me it was still a most of my aduu for me it was still a most of my adult life spent working for the bbc and i'm still enormously proud of it . okay, final proud of it. okay, final thoughts . how do you see this thoughts. how do you see this playing ? you don't think that playing? you don't think that gary lineker will return the bbc? what of the near to term

future of the organisation . are future of the organisation. are they in trouble ? well, there's a they in trouble? well, there's a bit. there's a bit of a row going on. but honestly, as long as they tough tough it out a few days slowly people will start saying, i tell you what, i'd rather be on the telly than not on the telly. and on that basis, the game will continue. what should happen is that? lineker should happen is that? lineker should say thank very much for your support to everybody. him this my battle . i don't need this is my battle. i don't need any help . please go back to work any help. please go back to work then issue will be solved. calvin great to have you back on the show. we'll catch up soon. and thank you to john sargeant, rebecca, jane and christopher. the alternative match of the day is next. join me committed today at 930 on sunday morning when two top tories give me their reaction. the government's stop the boats policy . i'll be the boats policy. i'll be speaking to former deputy minister damian green as well. the former justice secretary robert buckland and jonathan sumption , former supreme court sumption, former supreme court justice , a leading lockdown

on are doing this, on earth we are doing this, is it because you need more airtime? well, it is not just on airtime? well, it is not just on a as well as i'm going to a crisp as well as i'm going to put these down and we'll crack on. now, gary lineker has been benched bbc for tweet. benched the bbc for his tweet. he compared tories illegal he compared the tories illegal immigration to something immigration bill to something out now . this led to out of germany now. this led to accusations that lineker had broken impartiality guidelines . broken impartiality guidelines. it also led to people saying gary , to be fair, mate, whilst gary, to be fair, mate, whilst this migrant policy might not be perfect , i this migrant policy might not be perfect, i don't remember the time in history where adolf hitler allowed hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants germany migrants to wander into germany so could put them up in full so we could put them up in full star, costing the taxpayer around 7 million quid a day. so what was full frontal what followed was full frontal chaos, much of the day. co—host alan shearer. ian wright they pulled out in solidarity and a load of other stars who hadn't actually been asked to cover the show also said that they wouldn't be doing it. micah richards , jermaine jenas, julian richards, jermaine jenas, julian clary . piers morgan. michael clary. piers morgan. michael jackson's corpse. bob geldof .

jackson's corpse. bob geldof. mahatma gandhi son who now wants to be known as mahatma gandhi. and sadly a particularly disgruntled packet of walkers chsps. disgruntled packet of walkers crisps . and saturday lunchtime crisps. and saturday lunchtime on bbc one. now in a change the schedule it's bargain hunt. on bbc one. now in a change the schedule it's bargain hunt . yeah schedule it's bargain hunt. yeah we got a little sneak preview then when football focus is alex scott pulled out the bbc decided to pull that show off which meant that the bbc was forced to replace it with the absolute favourites hunt so that favourites bargain hunt so that we are now this is of course a massive firestorm at the beeb so people switched to people switched on bbc news to get some much needed clarity about situation. we've also the bbc to give an interview to bbc news today . yes we go so the bbc news today. yes we go so the bbc won't talk the bbc about this. so for now the nation is trapped in a weird vortex where football focus is replaced by bargain hunt on the repair shop and feels as though they can agree to host match of the day just in case called a scab, or it makes them look like a, which i think

we all agree is a bit mental. absolutely right. amen to all of that. now, of course, we get to speak to mike perry and aidan magee shortly. but joining us now from his own is one of our own. yes indeed. the legend that is co—star, is eamonn holmes co—star, massive united fan massive manchester united fan eamonn. first of all, we're making tv and radio history. it is alternative match of the day. your reaction as a broadcasting legend . i fell i fell. keep to legend. i fell i fell. keep to keep at it let's keep thank you for the ringing endorsement rid of it you do that ridiculous thing if you don't want to know the score, look away now let's sort of egypt in 2023 doesn't know the scores scores at you on radio on television , online. radio on television, online. they find you view it's impossible to avoid them . and impossible to avoid them. and why if i even if i knew the result why a success you the end of the films you're not going to want to film so i don't i would get rid of that nonsense for the

fresh. exactly in case fresh. yeah exactly in case viewers couldn't this show viewers couldn't tell this show is to be is already going to be absolutely we have had absolutely chaos. we have had zero rehearsals it been zero rehearsals and it has been cobbled together on a shoestring. but one thing that you guarantee that we're you can guarantee that we're we're searched. you've rehearsed this. one thing. this. yeah, yeah. but one thing. one thing that you can guarantee with is if we're going to with those is if we're going to crowbar much match of the crowbar in as much match of the tropes possibly can, like tropes as we possibly can, like showing schools and then not telling them and. also using telling you them and. also using bang like well, telling you them and. also using beit's like well, telling you them and. also using beit's a like well, telling you them and. also using beit's a game like well, telling you them and. also using beit's a game of like well, telling you them and. also using beit's a game of two like well, telling you them and. also using beit's a game of two halveszll, telling you them and. also using beit's a game of two halves and if it's a game of two halves and we scored more goals we we scored more goals than we might stand a chance of winning. so it's going to rather a lot of time. but i understand. okay, before stuck into the before we do get stuck into the actual here that actual punditry here that you are quite big fan of, gary are quite a big fan of, gary lineker knows gary lineker he knows i like. gary i think whether you like what he says or not, i his right to say what he and i just think again. and in this day and age, it's sort cake you know, it sort cake that you know, it doesn't present news. i don't care present a white life care if you present a white life programme or a sports programme, whatever is broadcasting to his own followers on his own social media and he's as you say, he's

fantastic . i great. i mean, it was absolutely fantastic. i know great. i mean, it was absolutely fantastic . i know chelsea were fantastic. i know chelsea were on three one. all right. it was always bad news for gary lineker. apparently. gary lineker. apparently. gary lineker behind you, a beloved lineker. apparently. gary linear behind you, a beloved lineker. apparently. gary linea beloved you, a beloved lineker. apparently. gary linea beloved fox., a beloved lineker. apparently. gary linea beloved fox. he beloved lineker. apparently. gary linea beloved fox. he wasved lineker. apparently. gary linea beloved fox. he was in! fox. a beloved fox. he was in the i don't believe the stands. i don't believe there clamour have his there was clamour to have his name chanted or a banner or a flag. anyway of course, he is indeed a rabid leftie. the chelsea fans, not known for being rabid lefties. i think that's an understated, to say the least. anyway, the chelsea fans will be happier. they absolutely smashed, basically. fans will be happier. they abrchelsea smashed, basically. fans will be happier. they abrchelsea three ied, basically. fans will be happier. they abrchelsea three leicesterally. fans will be happier. they abrchelsea three leicester one so chelsea three leicester one possession is how possession stats this is how it's a slick operation here leicester 7, chelsea 43. so i think perhaps there a fluff to chelsea a little there as chelsea a little bit there as well. you look at the scorers well. if you look at the scorers i i'm certainly hoping i believe, i'm certainly hoping that see the scorers any that we can see the scorers any second now. we've got havertz who also pops up alongside chilwell on coverage. we chilwell on coverage. there we go do you guys know right? go. but do you guys know right? can i just see you look in front of that video . i have a job of that video. i have a job offer from sky sports news will be forthcoming and get a decent shirt. yeah mike by parry yeah there wouldn't been any chelsea

fans at leicester today would. right, because chelsea going to nosebleed if they go north of the m25 don't your evidence for that. well then then what a great travelling band why are they anyway leicester city one chelsea three the manager of leicester city is brendan rodgers and there was a bit of grief at the end of the game wasn't the from the fans towards him we want. yeah yeah we want rodgers listen let's speak if he came so close to winning premier league for liverpool except for the slip the man british football have we got our next guest ready. i think we do this is about as as eurovision let me tell you yeah delighted to welcome youtuber radio presenter and the star of leicester till i die tv chris faria and hi chris. listen, you're licking your wounds tonight . yes. and we've wounds tonight. yes. and we've probably got almost as many points as the united kingdom get in eurovision if you home. yeah,

it's a good season for us. we at least we had some shots on goal this so that's something we are not in shots on goal so under 2 minutes i just don't know what's going that's something right at the close you're not very good now we don't do the simple things and that's the worry you know can't seem to find each other with the passes . we were other with the passes. we were fluffing chances we did just a confident seems to have been drained out of them. yeah now listen , there's talk as aidan listen, there's talk as aidan magee that curse of rodgers out i fancied rodgers for tottenham couple of seasons ago . is not it couple of seasons ago. is not it your problem ? and you can have your problem? and you can have him if you still if you still want him you are welcome to know everybody saying that you know is about a three or four season show flight there's brendan rodgers i mean he came in he

took over quote well it brought back exciting attacking but it all seems a distant memory and unfortunately i'm only as good in football as you are. last season and that's the result need william. i mean , get me need william. i mean, get me wrong, he's one of us, the african pope. but when you look in the past, you know, claudio ranieri, who lost the premier league the following season , he league the following season, he got sacked is probably certainly come to pass. so by date. now i think . yes let's let's get to think. yes let's let's get to eight and into this conversation we can chris aidan magee chris did you think you would weather the storm by the side of the world cup you picked some decent form didn't you? prior to that, you want to everton by three goals sunil much to my chagrin, yes. and then after my shorts to my . it was a historic my chagrin. it was a historic event. my chagrin. it was a historic event . every move is back. let's event. every move is back. let's get back to football. i'm after the world cup. you scored four

goals, aston villa. you've been tottenham for one as well. you must have thought you'd weather the storm and that you were home and you've probably and hosed and you've probably looked well yeah. and hosed and you've probably l

to get to leeds. brighton? yeah, but gary , do you know who he is? but gary, do you know who he is? he i do, of course. yes i was at school with him . the same club. school with him. the same club. oh, that's right . what was he oh, that's right. what was he like? what was he like? of course. well, patrick, to know what was he like, but also, you know, he's a he's a leicester legend. he was there today. what's the reaction been of leicester fans to his to predicament. hello i mean , we predicament. hello i mean, we didn't know he signed and what he's agreed to do at the bbc. it's you could have got smoky bacon. then we say so lineker . bacon. then we say so lineker. is a leicester legend. he's grown up, he's a local lad , he's grown up, he's a local lad, he's done well. it's obviously , you done well. it's obviously, you know, one of the top presenters now. but according to his wages , one of the top presenters to he's entitled his opinion and the worrying thing is and i've got a show out this morning on my channel is if we're not going

to be allowed to have an opinion then that's to affect us all. you know, going to affect the bbc, itv is going to affect, you know, do gb news is ever going to affect me as, a youtuber. if i can't come on to say what i think can happen. opinion and your youtube channel is highly entertaining. it is a leicester till i die tv thank you so much for that. chris catch up. same patrick can we go to leeds ? oh patrick can we go to leeds? oh yes. oh yes, absolutely. all right . well, leeds. brighton. right. well, leeds. brighton. okay. so it was two in the end. now leeds came from behind twice to. draw aidan magee you mind rephrasing? yeah, well, aidan magee over there on the panel. there's something about coming from behind twice and still not being classed as a winner. but yes to fantastic stuff. yes to all fantastic stuff. leeds now sit 19th though. so they've got a bit of work to do. brighton are seventh on the goal scorers of course and mcallister initially for prising open the scoring boundaries have more false starts than a skoda in the premier league. he then

equalised. harrison got involved as as can as well later on. as you can see, possession that 37% for see, the possession that 37% for leeds, 63% for price's was scored on quite flattering for leeds. back to you bunch of well, there you go. mean, well, there you go. i mean, i goal thriller. yeah exactly. well, look, he's inside they're now a team of old under graham potter, now under roberts. i deserve a who can go to anywhere and get a result they went to anfield season they'd been old trafford at the start of the season. they've gone to leeds another to north another bit ground to the north and led twice now seventh and they led twice now seventh in table so a win. in the table now. so a win. there have been really there would have been really handy because that would have really put on newcastle really put pressure on newcastle and them. but and liverpool above them. but they're decent side they're a very, very decent side as for leeds, i'm not as for. as for leeds, i'm not worried them they're worried about them they're in the three, brought the bottom three, they brought back have you guys back a manager. have you guys have you worried about them. well about leeds well do you care about leeds for. because i care about for. well, because i care about football, i about the game. football, i care about the game. yeah. you could yeah. yeah, but you could be worried any that's worried about any team that's going go down if. you don't going to go down if. you don't support it because they know you qpr. we won today. yeah, qpr. but we won today. yeah, yeah. but not in the premier league. you league. so shouldn't you be worried leeds one of

worried about was leeds a one of the english clubs the four english clubs institution they've spent institution that they've spent too long in doldrums too long in the doldrums and it's to them back it's good to see them back in the four. no, no, leave. you the top four. no, no, leave. you know read what so and what was his name? what's his name? peter style. facility to style. and he is a facility to go hundreds of millions go borrow hundreds of millions of make leeds champions of pounds make leeds champions yours david o'leary. there yours david o'leary. then there are there. only kids. are only kids there. only kids. nelson they're only nelson mandela they're only they're only kids. they're only kids. that's what david o'leary said inheriting the team said after inheriting the team from george graham. course. yeah. yeah but you've got to as far as like i'm saying, you know not leeds fan they've got as far as the semi—finals of the champions league there's no further have been on trajectory downwards ever since patrick do you have an emotional for leeds because . when i grew up we were because. when i grew up we were a massive team. no, i, i'm a manchester united fan so i would quite happily see leeds go. so yeah, as far as i'm concerned leeds should have probably brighton. i've never been so, although i imagine that gary lineker who would quite like because it's full of flags and

white people , i think that's white people, i think that's a fair point. the tofu eating one in karate. look at lots games to get through my team next that is tottenham. thus is nottingham forest team with a fantastic history in football and of course crystal palace man city as well . two more big games to as well. two more big games to come. this is i'm pleased to say the alternative match of the day and. don't go anywhere .

i leave it there . you are i leave it there. you are watching the alternative match of the day, a football program bowls on mark dolan. my co—host is patrick christys. we goodbye to mike paul keep parry. he's given a black coffee and sent home in aruba. i'm delighted to

say we've hung on to top sports broadcaster and will be meeting barry silverman, former man city star and of course still very active football agents . but active football agents. but patrick, before we get to palace city, tell me about spurs. forest yes, well, a massive game this , ladies and gentlemen, this, ladies and gentlemen, because obviously there has been quite a lot of talk of whether or not antonio , his time is up, or not antonio, his time is up, but he will be very with the result occasionally flashes result that occasionally flashes up the screen, the up behind me on the screen, the spurs much of spurs three. one is on much of the day this game because the management and the stars of spurs don't want to be spurs don't really want to be there. that but yes there. so that was that. but yes kane at the double talk, a big move to move though for him to manchester united i believe we might be able to show some possession stats or something else well if we can bring those oh this is dream spurs. 54% at nottingham forest, 46, which means nothing doesn't nottingham forest, 46, which means goals. nothing doesn't nottingham forest, 46, which means goals. yes1ing doesn't nottingham forest, 46, which means goals. yes kane ioesn't nottingham forest, 46, which means goals. yes kane out1't set spurs goals. yes kane out the double, including a penalty young man son as well well done. because stuff spurs nottingham forest go from world just a mop

up towards the end back to you bunch of crackers people there you go top agent former man city star silverman welcome to the studio. thank you listen a decent to effort from tottenham but it's always question of which tottenham turns up. i think it's a question who they're playing against when they're playing against when they play against the big teams , they do struggle a little . , they do struggle a little. they play against the poor teams . their players are much better . you know, a lot of people have my opinion , only an opinion. my opinion, only an opinion. i think just lack real quality players in certain areas of the pitch. that's what lets them down i don't think. and is that fault of the chairman mr. levy . fault of the chairman mr. levy. is he too busy paying the instalments that stadium. i'm the croft the cross burned them off. yeah he lives around corner to me, by the way. i'm sure he's still paying them off now. think the recruitment is down to the people who recruit and he spent a lot of money there . but if the a lot of money there. but if the recruitment is not right, you end up with a problem. you've got a situation as well where i

mean, djed spence came last mean, djed spence came in last summer. bissouma a brilliant summer. he bissouma a brilliant performance last performance at brighton last season. finished in the top season. they finished in the top half of the table. he just doesn't almost doesn't use. it's almost like 5py' doesn't use. it's almost like spy, it? two fingers up to spy, isn't it? two fingers up to the i've got to the owner. yeah. i've got to just. spencer couldn't understand. yeah i really couldn't with at couldn't get with that one at all. well, he means they signed couldn't get with that one at all. \.yeahhe means they signed couldn't get with that one at all. \.yeah i; means they signed couldn't get with that one at all. \.yeah i like ans they signed couldn't get with that one at all. \.yeah i like himthey signed couldn't get with that one at all. \.yeah i like him asy signed him. yeah i like him as a player, but if you're saying to me, i want to win the premier yeah, i want to get in the champions league. he's not to be in the same. no. you know, could he get into. let's say liverpool's team , could he get liverpool's team, could he get into man city's team? could he get into arsenal's team? no, i'm not really sure why they bought him, presumably, but bissouma. i loved him at brighton. i wasn't sure when he went there that he made the right move. i have to be honest with you. i tried to take him to a club and then they were still in and dally in tottenham, came in and bought him . i'm not tottenham, came in and bought him. i'm not sure. tottenham, came in and bought him. i'm not sure . he tottenham, came in and bought him . i'm not sure . he went to him. i'm not sure. he went to the right place. i love as a

player. he's terrific assets is he that level the jury's still out with me? i wouldn't say yes and i wouldn't say no. i do really like him as a player. but broadly speaking on tottenham, i know that your team as well. i mean they're their in the league without having played that well this really have this season haven't really have momentum time of the momentum at any time of the yeah momentum at any time of the year. i can't think of a time when we've we've we've of, when we've we've we've sort of, you know, missed a few opportunity to really, you know, missed a few oppor1 solidify. to really, you know, missed a few oppor1solidify. oh to really, you know, missed a few oppor1solidify. oh to reithose really solidify. oh yeah those also with also the champions with a whimper. whimper. yes. whimper. with a whimper. yes. and my son was was at that game this week he said the crowd this week and he said the crowd were completely it. but were completely up for it. but by it was game over. by halftime it was game over. no, i it was i look no, i mean, it was i look at that there, david, they a kind of accompli minutes before that there, david, they a kind of end ccompli minutes before that there, david, they a kind of end ofympli minutes before that there, david, they a kind of end of time minutes before that there, david, they a kind of end of time and utes before that there, david, they a kind of end of time and there'sfore the end of time and there's a lot of empty seats towards the end as well. but if i'll talk about pochettino coming it about pochettino coming back, it didn't there didn't end. well, from there four years they got the four years ago, they got the champions final, a champions league final, almost a dying breath, because dying man's last breath, because they we were in the they went before we were in the league at that time. they didn't start the following season. and if bring he's going

if they bring back, he's going to same problems as to get the same problems as country control. country has got control. somebody on somebody put pressure on his players he also likes to manage up pressure the up with and put pressure on the owners you leave. he's owners but then you leave. he's been there since 2000. one as part ethnic organisation part of the ethnic organisation and not going to be moving and he's not going to be moving anytime got a change anytime soon. he's got a change of for what manager of strategy for what manager i sat in front of which i want to say he said to me in say no. and he said to me in 2018, we to change way. we 2018, we have to change way. we operate they're operate as a club, they're operating the way. they're operating the same way. they're looking for sustainability. that's problem for tottenham that's the problem for tottenham is everyone, everyone else around seems to around them just seems to be. and spending spending. yes. and spending and spending. yes. that catastrophe, that might lead to catastrophe, you maybe not. if you might say. maybe not. if you're clubs over you're seeing clubs taken over by then maybe, maybe by a nation, then maybe, maybe the direction travel the the direction of travel is the one is that is against one is one that is against tottenham. and they might just see top four see themselves out the top four permanently. talk permanently. let's talk about that totemic striker that their total totemic striker harry he'd be within rights harry kane he'd be within rights to look for a somewhere to look for a deal somewhere else. that else. he given the fact that he's 30 now. yeah look, he's been there a long time. i think it's been there a long time. i think wsfime been there a long time. i think it's time go. been it's time to go. would been before last before he signed his last contract personally, i don't think he'll anywhere. that's think he'll go anywhere. that's my . about what my personal. what about what about fat pay day

about just one last fat pay day at man united ? i'm not sure he at man united? i'm not sure he can earn a lot more than earning now, to be honest. i mean, how much can you have? i know, but what's the deal? 200,000 a week. i was . what spurs i would say i was. what spurs i would say more. you'd more than that? yes. in fact , i'll bet my house. it's in fact, i'll bet my house. it's more than but another. if he'd had a more experienced agent two summers ago, he to go out. he to go out of that club. there you 90, go out of that club. there you go, patrick. so patrick would, want you sell want patrick, would you sell harry kane. yeah i just say, you know, talk about getting more experienced. look, barry, i'm a manchester fan, but manchester united fan, but we want kane. you you can't do a move. i mean, why why can't you get now ? i'm not going get involved now? i'm not going to be honest . get involved now? i'm not going to be honest. i'm get involved now? i'm not going to be honest . i'm too sure. to be honest. i'm not too sure. that man united do want i that man united do want him. i think it's like the last time there were clubs for kane , but there were clubs for kane, but man city, they know 1,000,000. now, i know that for a fact . now, i know that for a fact. 1,000,000. no and i think that he really put the feelers out because he waited and waited and

waited until before he signed that contract . i think he was that contract. i think he was waiting to see who came in and what they were to pay. and i don't think there is a club for him that can improve on what he's doing . i think matters to he's doing. i think matters to him i think it would seem spurs it would suit spurs. you wouldn't approve it? yeah but what if he went to psg someone like that which suits him and suits them to down the ground it's still not the prestige playing for those clubs. i can pay a playing for those clubs. i can pay a fine man. i said yes and no out. yes or no? the problem you've got with man united all they actually going to win anything we by the way quick word on forest who lost how do you appraise their seats and barry good home awful and it's the home that's kept them out of top the three they signed something 18 players last summer that's barry i'll tell you

that's barry i'll tell you that's one of most difficult things in football to do to bnngin things in football to do to bring in that volume of players and, get them settled down inside a couple of months. dave cooper managed to do that. it's going stay just about buying going to stay just about buying it, end it, buying capitulation the end of i think they'll of the season. i think they'll do that's good do it. that's a good achievement. agree. think achievement. i agree. ithink they'll but they'll they'll stay up, but they'll stay up because. of the other team's failings rather than how well up. how well that they've taken up. how good is the good is how how good is the setup nottingham forest. well setup at nottingham forest. well it's a bit behind the times actually. there's not actually. i mean, there's not a man to the stadium for man done to the stadium for since. what about own since. what about your own 96? in i was on the i was on in fact, i was on the i was on the gantry there about five years and it was there was years ago, and it was there was actually a holding from your 96 there. 20 is off. so it'll there. about 20 is off. so it'll be 25,000, 30,000 be about 20, 25,000, 30,000 capacity. there's nothing capacity. yeah, there's nothing wrong capacity. wrong with this capacity. they can the stadium is but can improve the stadium is but it's a really really good club. i the who we i don't know the club who we went at leeds and sheffield went to at leeds and sheffield wednesday being outside the premier long, premier league for so long, i mean nottingham forest went in 1999. you me in 99 that 1999. if you told me in 99 that they'd spending more, they'd be spending more, any more or three years in more than two or three years in the championship. i've, i've said you were having laugh said you were having a laugh yeah. for i mean when

did say of course as you can now see on our board the man city one one nil best we keep them time forces he though because he has all the possession does flatter cities are more 64% in expect that though wouldn't you palace digging in for the vast majority the game with 36% possession but of course it was not money himself not going to it went down in the box and he went down a lot easier. and one of aidan magee first days and then a sudden holland then all of a sudden holland steps but in the back of the net penalty, since he managed to hold the next 12 or so hold out for the next 12 or so minutes, it's interesting. minutes, it's been interesting. we've sports we've had morals in sports anyway, i suppose anyway, hasn't it? i suppose that's enough about the state owned middle eastern oil money. horrific morals. critics say yes , you got to you, patrick, will will team manchester united ever escape the shadow of the neighbours? yeah. well, look , neighbours? yeah. well, look, escaped here a long time ago. you know, at the end of the day we have a legacy in manchester city. they just bought glory. we to of up from to kind of build it up from there from. the ashes of the munich that munich disaster, all of that we've come up
