00:00Well, and, and yeah, there's, there's one bit there, which, you know, I
00:03understand where he says, yeah, but they have responsibilities being ex-England
00:07players and you, you know, they should know, they know what it's like.
00:09It's not like they've ever won anything or worse to that effect.
00:12So, fine, fine.
00:14And he's absolutely right.
00:16But I will say one thing, the last thing in the world we want to
00:20be is downbeat and critical.
00:22We want the England team to perform well on the pitch.
00:25The best punditry of all is when England play well and we're excited
00:29and we're enthusiastic about them.
00:30We're saying this performance was great.
00:32That performance is great.
00:33We don't want to be critical, but we have to be sometimes.
00:37We have to say, but we did it balanced as well.
00:39And I think it's really important.
00:42We never get personal.
00:43No, of course not.
00:44And that's, that's the key.
00:46I think we're always, it might've been that word that was.
00:48Yeah, it might've been, but it was kind of, but it was the way I said it as well
00:51was, it was basically, you know, it was a, you know, it was a poor performance.
00:55It was, you know, there was, there was kind of lethargy or whatever.
00:59And, you know, and I think, I think Mike has said something about,
01:03I think we've run out of words about what, how the performance, I said, yeah,
01:06well, I mean, whatever words you say, whether, you know, you could just say,
01:09you could, you know, or expletive like sh**, I mean, it was kind of that kind
01:13of context, but yeah, I understand that.
01:15I think the simple and easiest thing is, have England played well or did they
01:18play well in that game against Denmark?
01:20No, we're terrible.
01:22So we have to say that.
01:25If England are brilliant, we'll say they're brilliant.
01:27It's, that's just the way it is, isn't it?
01:29It's, you know what it is though?
01:31As a player, you always get the right of reply.
