0:00.0	Hello and welcome to The Price of Football, the show that looks at the money behind the
0:14.8	beautiful game with me Kevin Day and Liverpool University's Kirin McGuire, sorry Kirin,
0:18.9	I was probably a bit loud then when I said hello, I was trying to wake myself up after
0:22.6	yesterday, there's some Neil Neal draws that are full of exciting, attractive, floating
0:28.5	football and there's some that are full of the opposition team, frame themselves to the
0:32.7	ground for no apparent reason, every 45 seconds and what a dreadful game that was, that you
0:38.2	had a lovely time this week and Kirin, you're this week, didn't you? You had your first European
0:41.7	game? Was it exciting? It was exciting, great atmosphere, good performance from AEK, I think
0:51.4	you, you know, below to people in the morning, but sometimes you've got to say well the opposition
0:55.5	did a number on you and give them credit for it, so it's over that, and in the following
1:00.0	night, I went to see the Sisters of Mercy, I've been watching the Sisters since, first time

1:32.8	main Andrew Elvish was prowling around sort of posing some really strange shapes as if he thought
1:40.0	he'd become Kate Bush, and a very surreal experience. I've been in showbiz this long enough, Kirin,
1:47.1	to know that if they didn't turn his mic on for the whole of the show, there's a reason. You might
1:53.4	accidentally leave the mic off for one song, that's hilarious. That's what happens when the Sisters
1:59.2	of Mercy reaches certain age, isn't it? Really? It is, is 64. Yeah, what are we coming here for?
2:04.4	We're doing a concert deer. Yeah, can you set an argument here, and I keep saying that
2:11.5	that yesterday in the pub there was a faction that says it's Ike. Yeah, I think they were going Ike.
