00:00 The Champions League group stage obviously came to a head this week. I just wondered

00:03 if you watched any of those matches and how much, if at all, does not being part of it

00:08 kind of drive you on to try and get top of into the top four?

00:12 What do you reckon, mate? Do you reckon I would have just, let's see what's on telly

00:16 tonight. Champions League? I might have a look at that.

00:19 It came Friday.

00:20 Yeah, no, I do follow the football a fair bit. No, I watched it all and, you know, it's

00:25 I guess European football in general. You know, you're kind of, it's where you want

00:30 to be. You want to be involved in those games. You want your football club involved because

00:33 not just because of its European football, but the unique challenges it brings because,

00:39 you know, you're playing in different countries, different conditions, different styles of

00:45 football, you know, all those kind of things. You enjoy that aspect of it. So, yeah, it's

00:53 definitely something this football club should be a part of. Absolutely. And I think not

00:57 being part of it this year has hurt us because I think it gives you a chance to develop your

01:04 squad even quicker with the experiences they have and the ability to kind of, you know,

01:10 give more game time to your squad. So I think it's hurt us this year, but, you know, hopefully

01:15 we're back in it next year and making an impact.
