Lots of football on the programme this week. On Wednesday Hull City boss Phil Brown told Victoria he's standing by his claim that Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas spat at his assistant manager Brian Horton.

On Friday Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn told us his players will take a 40% wage cut if they're relegated this season.

It is a refreshing change to hear someone being so sensible as well as passionate about football. I particularly love his attitude towards sensible financial contracts with the Manager. I'm really enjoying listening".

"At last.someone saying what he thinks. Good on Souness. He was not patronising. Victoria's just a chippy ´óÏó´«Ã½ presenter."

"Souness is rude and has a short fuse. Well done victoria! Why do football people always get petulant, patronising and enraged?"

"l winced in agony throughout that interview as Souness remorselessly dug himself deeper into a hole. Victoria was remarkably restrained under the circumstances, but as l'm not bound by professional etiquette, may l say, Souness is a plonker!"

All that, plus the .
