Hello, this is the game podcast from The Times and I'm Natalie Sawyer.

Gregor Robertson is with me as per usual and today Martin Ziegler joins us.

Gregor and Martin, lovely to have you with us today.

Martin, how are you doing?

I know the last time you were with us,

you were telling us about how busy you have been,

considering there is no football. I'm guessing that's still the same for you

absolutely still the same if anything if anything more busy than the last time

oh my goodness it's like a gift that keeps on giving. Yeah well I mean it's you know if it's just the

Premier League alone they've got meetings tomorrow they've got meetings on Wednesday

they've got meetings on Thursday they've got meetings on Thursday, they got meetings on Thursday. So trying to get football back up and running

is something that's spending everybody in the clubs and the Premier League is spending a huge amount of time trying to do and also the championship as well.

Absolutely, yes, we'll get on to that in just a moment, while Martin is is busy trying to work out what's

happening with project restart Greg or you've been stunning yourself I hear I don to do some work. I know you are. I know you are. I know you are. I know just I'm at that stage of lockdown where, you know,

Susie informed me today that it was a bank holiday. I had no idea of that whatsoever I barely know what a day it is these days.

I know you're absolutely right I was I had to go out earlier on and I was thinking gosh this is taking me a lot quicker to get out and about and then it dawned on me it must be a bank

holiday but I hadn't hadn't even thought about it for you keeping well

Gregor yes very well how are you yes I'm very very well just in terms of the shade that

you'd call yourself right now are we a nice

brown or we a salmon pink where are we at yeah somewhere between salmon and

lobster pink I think that's probably the best description.

See no more.
