First 90 secondsJohn Fendley· Host0:00
Last time I was on the show, I was telling Carragher how badly we were run. I think we're the worst run football club in the country. It's an embarrassment I hated every minute of it.
Conor Coady· Guest0:08
It was solid. It w- it was as hard as it can be. I'm sure you'll agree with that.
Wayne Rooney· Guest0:10
It was a big gamble for Frank to go in there. If it didn't pay off with Coventry, that could, could have quite easily been the end of his coaching career.
Paul Mullin· Guest0:16
I'm hopeful he'll stay at least for one more season.
Michelle· Guest0:18
Bromley's story is a genuine fairy tale story. You can't script that.
Paul Mullin· Guest0:22
Finishing the season 29 games unbeaten. It's one of the most incredible promotion campaigns I can remember.
John Fendley· Host0:27
There's a lot of clubs in League Two now are just treading water. Some of these clubs are blocking the pathway for everyone else, especially when there's four going up out of League Two into League One.
Wayne Rooney· Guest0:34
To finish on that many points and not be guaranteed promotion is, is scandalous really.
Michelle· Guest0:38
I don't think everyone's mimicking Arsenal, but why is it that the teams who are super effective from dead ball situations have gone to the top of each of the EFL leagues this season?
Paul Mullin· Guest0:47
Arsenal going on to win the league, they've made it more fashionable to do that.
Wayne Rooney· Guest0:51
Man United won the Champions League in 1999 off a set piece.
Paul Mullin· Guest0:54
There's your headline anyway. Cardiff are the new PS3.
Wayne Rooney· Guest0:56
[laughs] Take that on the chin.
Conor Coady· Guest0:57
He's one of the most unbelievable coaches I've ever had. You've obviously heard him talk. He's super quick, and you've got to take your time to understand him a little bit. In, in, on, uh- So is you ... talking about me, yeah.
John Fendley· Host1:06
