**SPEAKER_2** (0:09)
The England game was a watch, wasn't it?

**Gary Neville** (0:11)
England. Yeah, got Declan Rice playing in Trent's position, and I was a whip ball's in. Do you know, I was actually, I was really calm in the second half, I kept saying, we're winning this 2-1. Wrighty was a little bit nervous. I just knew we were gonna, we were creating chances. I didn't think, I didn't like the performance, but I actually, to be fair thought, we're gonna get through it, because we had to, in Cain and Bellingham. I think the hydration break out.
A lot. Through, I saw the maths in it. All math.
Gary, is there a fork anywhere?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:44)
There is, yeah, there is, yeah.

**Gary Neville** (0:46)
In here, in here. Thank you.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:47)
Do you like them?

**Gary Neville** (0:48)
Very nice.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:50)
They're sweet to the evening as well, though, aren't they?

**Gary Neville** (0:52)
Yeah. Do you know what I like? I like coleslaw.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:55)
So do I, actually.

**Gary Neville** (0:57)
I'm a fan. By the way, that wasn't a penalty on the Belgium-Tenegel game.

**Jill Scott** (1:01)
Do you not think?

**Gary Neville** (1:01)
No, that wasn't a penalty.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:03)
I thought Cain's was a penalty.

**Gary Neville** (1:04)
Did you think that was a penalty? No.

**Jill Scott** (1:05)
No?

**Gary Neville** (1:06)
No, I didn't.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:06)
I thought it was.

**Gary Neville** (1:07)
No. No.
No, I didn't think it was. I thought they got it right. Is that butter? That butter just stuck on the end there. I don't know. You can't stick butter on the end, it's performing as cheese. A long day, right, yeah?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:24)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Gary Neville** (1:26)
Tough one, that.

**Ian Wright** (1:27)
Is the aircon not working in here? Is it on? Is the armadillo in here? You got armadillo?

**Gary Neville** (1:32)
Got this for you.

**Ian Wright** (1:33)
Brilliant. Even better. That would be good. I want to... I love it here. There you go.

**Gary Neville** (1:39)
Are the straws here? Straws here?

**Ian Wright** (1:42)
Look, how you doing, bro?

**Gary Neville** (1:44)
Ian's sending goal.

**Ian Wright** (1:46)
Yeah.

**Gary Neville** (1:46)
Felt sorry for him before the...

**Ian Wright** (1:48)
You know something, I think...

**Gary Neville** (1:49)
Before he comes in and says, it's top level sport and...

**Ian Wright** (1:51)
You know the thing is, is that what he said, it kind of makes sense to a certain extent. If you're 2-0, they're not an inexperienced side. They've got experienced players. You know, you're two minutes with five minutes to go. You've got to be looking to shut up shot there. Even though they brought on, I think it was Luke Kaku, Mariera and the other one, Luke, I can't remember the third guy, the left side, they took Doku off for. But like, they brought that on themselves because that can happen.
But like, you feel sorry for them. You do feel sorry for them, but again, it's a tough one to take for them because they should be more experienced than that.

**Jill Scott** (2:28)
Oh, where did yous fall?
I was sat down there with yous. Where have you been? What do you mean? Well, I could see Royce when he was having a start. When you said it was 2-0, I was like, I'll head over and then...

**Ian Wright** (2:40)
I know. And they just...
Even when the Carcass scored a foot well, yeah, they've shut up now. But it wasn't penalty. The Belgium...

**Jill Scott** (2:50)
You didn't think it was?

**Ian Wright** (2:51)
No. No, Jill.

**Jill Scott** (2:52)
I thought it was.

**Ian Wright** (2:53)
No, Jill, we did... Why, yeah.

**Jill Scott** (2:55)
You don't think there was contact on it?

**Gary Neville** (2:56)
Do you know, I think...

**Ian Wright** (2:57)
That's the thing, because we watched the Premier League, we're just taking any kind of contact.

**Gary Neville** (3:01)
OK, do you know, when a ball gets whipped into the near post...

**Jill Scott** (3:03)
Yeah...

**Gary Neville** (3:04)
.and you've got a defender that's sliding in for it with an attacker, that to me basically is who owns that ground.

**Jill Scott** (3:12)
Yeah.

**Gary Neville** (3:13)
Like, you know what I mean? It's like who owns that ground in front of the defender? The defender's got to go for that. The attacker, if the attacker gets a touch and then the defender comes through him, it's a penalty. If the attacker doesn't play the ball, and he's not really going to play the ball, it's just both of them going for it.
