Ian Wright· Panelist0:10
You know what? It hurts, Gal. It's g- it's a pain that's hurting me that, it's like, it's killing me but I can't feel. I'm not seeing anything from our team, and even the way we play, I'm just taking the way we play 'cause I want us to get over the line.
Gary Neville· Host0:22
You gotta look at the facts though. You gotta look- Yeah, but look at the facts is, April, Roy, we hardly win a football match in April. Are you gonna be a hostage to the past, are you? You can't be a hostage to the past.
Ian Wright· Panelist0:29
I'm not gonna be a hostage to the past.
Gary Neville· Host0:30

Ian Wright· Panelist0:58
But I, I don't think Declan's got that in him.
Gary Neville· Host0:59
If you're playing in them positions, it's gotta be easier.
Ian Wright· Panelist1:02
Oh, Roy.
Gary Neville· Host1:02
No, it has to be. There's different challenges for different players there. I'm surprised at you, Roy. I'm surprised at you. [upbeat music] You didn't think it was a red card on Monday, did you? The, that Martinez one? No, no, no. I did.
Ian Wright· Panelist1:17
Well, no, I can see why you gave it.
Gary Neville· Host1:18
Oh, okay.
Ian Wright· Panelist1:18
But this idea of violent conduct, it's, it's harsh.
Gary Neville· Host1:21
Yeah.
Ian Wright· Panelist1:21
But if they'd done it to K- Martinez and Albert Everton a couple of months ago, I know it was same type of scenario. He di- he kinda didn't really grab him, but he got a red card
