I listened to it recently. He hasn’t.

I think they do at the opening group stage.
Kind of. But we benefit from only paying £1.3M a year for both the stadium and training ground. So as good as West Ham’s deal is, ours is better - and we benefit way more
It is quite weird how this competition has been embraced as important when people took the piss out of the higher ranked Europa League for years - even though a succession of English clubs were unable to win it. I’m pleased as these tournaments were always taken seriously in many other countries - a bit of English arrogance to the sniffiness - but it’s still strange.

Christ could you imagine how outnumbered we'd be in Dublin of all places against Liverpool? Might as well just play it at Anfield
I'd take it obviously, but there'd be a part of me that would be disappointed to reach a European final and it be against an English team!

Teams from the same association are kept apart until the QFs.

I remembered you saying that all those years ago. Savage calmed down.
Sutton plays the “But did you play the game?” card too to disagreeing callers.
No worries. Last three results at Anfield were a win and two draws!Christ could you imagine how outnumbered we'd be in Dublin of all places against Liverpool? Might as well just play it at Anfield
Good to hear!

Who can work out why a Tory government gave a 65,000 seat stadium to Tory peer Brady. Nothing to see here
I’d prefer to meet them in the final. As much as I like a trip to Liverpool two routine wins in the knockout stage won’t be as exciting as Dublin.

Positive discrimination?

They’re Scouse not English!
Hard one to agree with. Tony pays from one company he owns to another, that has the square root of f all to do with the deal West Ham have that you and me are paying for. They should be paying a fair rent including a full repairing lease and also have to pay the normal match day expenses, they don't.
A unique advantage they alone have and that is unfair on the rest of the whole domestic professional teams.
Him and Sutton have a jovial relationship, but it's always struck me that there is an air of genuine bitterness from Savage with regards to how much decent work Sutton gets relative to him.
And it's obvious why. Sutton is generally good. Savage is generally shit.
Absolutely - look at how the largely hardened and cynical seen-it-all Moyes reacted to the win. Look how West Ham fans reacted to the win. For everyone involved with the club, tonight is a great achievement.
I can't be arsed to look it up now, but I think there's an escape route from the Europa League into the Europa Conference isn't there? I'd not be sniffy at all if, a year from now, we find ourselves where West Ham are tonight.

I always turn over to Talksport at the two frivolous bits …. Doc Savage and the 6 callers who have 5 seconds to state their case for a later call. Yawn. Just get on with angry calls from Tottenham fans.
