0:00.0	Totally Football Show. Hello. James is away. Caroline is busy. Everyone else is in a beer garden. And so in scenes reminiscent of Michael Knighton appointing himself as Carlisle manager, you've got me.
0:19.7	This weekend the bloated Premier League prepares to jettison its waste products. So, what's just gone around the U-Bend? Goodbye, Stoke. And what requires a second flush? Look out, Swansea. And what on earth is that floating in a most peculiar way? Hello, West Brom! When you've got a host of a surname like mine, you can guarantee
0:38.2	that we'll be casting our eyes north of the border, but we won't limit our travels to Scotland.

1:24.1	Yeah, that sounds a bit energetic for my taste. Adam Hurry. Hello.
1:27.9	Hi.
1:28.9	What have you got planned?
1:30.4	I'm going for a picnic in the park.
1:32.7	I think Adam wins.
1:35.0	Adam definitely wins.
1:40.5	Now, before we get going, we do want to send our best wishes to Sir Alex and all the Ferguson family.
