How have you seen the global game change from when you started watching it to what you're seeing now?
26:26
again, that's a similar journey, isn't it, right? And I think now we're in this, people are starting to go direct again, right? Everything's just cyclical, right? In cycles, isn't it? So, yeah, we've sort of, you know, you've had the pet thing and then it's like, well, hold on, we end up with these academy players that are all sort of, you know, robots to, oh, well, I won't take him on, I'll come back.
26:45
Do you remember how exciting when Gazza picked up a ball because he didn't know what he was going to do? And that's pretty dangerous.
26:50
It's like having a mystery spinner in cricket, right? You don't know which way it's going to go, whether it's going to skid on, whether it's going to bounce.
26:56
The game for a bit got a bit boring, didn't it? Because you're like, well, hold on, he's going to go down, he's going to turn back, go to the fullback, they're going to go around in a horseshoe and try the other side.

Like that got a bit boring, didn't it? And then we've seen this sort of like, Allardyce would be great again, wouldn't it? We've seen these long frozen set pieces come in.
27:09
But yeah, it's cyclical, isn't it? It changes the pace.
