| 0:49.1 | My name is Taylor Rockwell, and I am excited to talk to you this week about a rivalry that is near and dear to my heart as a Manchester United supporter. |
| 0:58.2 | It's the Liverpool Manchester United rivalry. We've got them playing each other this weekend, but they have played each other for a good long while now, and tempers have flared, and goals been scored and silverware has been won and drama |
| 1:11.6 | has ensued along the way here with me to talk it all out is mr graham ruffin hello graham hello taylor |
