Let's talk about it. Let's talk about Mohammed Saleh and his mix-owned interview. Obviously, Paul, you were there, you were front and centre of it. So before we talk about specifically rather what Mo said and the comments and the fallout from it, just paint us the picture of how it comes across in that mix-zone. How does the whole interview come about? Does Mo come over with the Cobb-on? Just let us know how it all panmed out.

Yeah, we got a little bit of an inkling after the game that Mo might have been feeling shatty. Very rare that he is, isn't he? You know, that's only the fourth time he stopped in a mix zone. The last most previous time was 13 months ago at Southampton, I was there for that one as well. but it came past and because it was an away game,

it wasn't necessarily the same faces he sees every week, but he did sort of spot me. And I said to him, as I do most weeks, more have he got two minutes? And normally it's not today.

And Isaac walked past Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez was there.

We all just decided not to ask them, so they come by.

And yeah, he returned about 10 and 15 minutes later

in a different training kit.

So he had had the shower and I guess while he was getting himself clean,

he was thinking about what to say,

and it was very deliberate.

It was very preempted.

It was not angry.

It was not off the cuff.

It was something that had been very sort of well thought out.

And I guess, you know,

that was a decision taken with him

and his ageing to go nuclear

and I couldn't believe

when he started saying about being thrown under the bus

and he's got no relationship with Slot

it was gobsmacking it genuinely was

I couldn't believe what I was hearing but
