| 0:28.8 | A happy, satisfied and weirdly proud view from the lane. |

| 0:38.1 | and joining me from The Athletics today, James Moore and Jack Pitt Brooke. |
| 0:42.9 | Deep breath, everybody. |
| 0:45.0 | Just how much was that needed and how enjoyable was it, Jack? |
| 0:48.7 | It was definitely very, very much needed, and I think it was kind of enjoyable. Like most people, |
| 0:55.9 | most people in the ground enjoyed it. They, it felt kind of odd. You know, this was the first |

Yeah, six weeks is quite a long time to go with our spurs playing well and winning well. |
| 2:03.6 | I know they beat Palace in the midst of all that, but I think it was quite the same. |
