Hello and welcome to the Restis Football with Alan Shearer and Micah Richards and me, Garelina.

We're recording this just after the England game with an emphatic victory over Greece,

which has put England back into prime position to get back amongst the big boys in the Nations League.

Just before we go any further, Gaz, you need to tell us about what's happened,

what's going on with the match of the day.

I mean, that's it. You're done, are you?

Yeah, but I did tell you. I know that. You've been all over the day. I mean, that's it. You're done, are you? Yeah, but I did tell you.

I know that.

You've been all over the newspapers everywhere for the last few days.

I woke up when the story broke on Tuesday morning, and I got out of bed, and I opened my

curtains.

It was like a scene from a movie.

I went like that, and I saw about 20 paps outside.

And I went, oh, I forgot. I forgot. Closer curtains are a bit sharpish.

Thankfully, I haven't got full, full-length windows.

But, yes, I think the thing to say is that it's, it's basically news of an extra year contract.

I always thought my next thing would be at the end.

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

I've done match a day for 25 years.

It's been an absolute joy and a privilege to present such an iconic show for the BBC.

But all things have to come to an end.

I'll miss you, but I'll still see you on the podcast regularly.
