Hello and welcome to the Price of Football, the show that looks at the money behind the

beautiful game with me Kevin Day and Liverpool University's Kirin McGuire.

Think of us as the 10 meter synchronized divers of the podcasting world.

I'm not proud of saying this Kirin McGuire is actually hidden in TV remote because she

got fed up with me constantly rewinding the diving saying, hang on a second, I only count

three twists, that was not.

It's only half a tuck then, I still don't know what a tuck is but that doesn't stop me

being a fully professional Olympic diving pub judge now.

And did the Olympics a great deal?

Have unexpectedly turned into a brilliant celebration of sport overnight?

Yes, I found myself on Tuesday morning screaming at the television in respect of the

Taikwondo and when we went out of the medallist, lost in the last seconds and then went back

to the studio, it was like the country was in mourning and it's that fascinating

love of these people who make incredible sacrifices and make you so proud of your country because

they are part of it and that sense of kinship.

It's been fantastic and it's relet my fires.

Yeah, it's also that brilliant thing where you want your countries athletes, gymnast,

cyclist to win but also you really don't mind when they don't because everybody else has

got a brilliant story as well.

Absolutely.

And that's the lack of crowd.

It hasn't affected it as much as I thought and I've been getting really emotional.
