“It’s crazy and a dream come true” said the latter. “Five years ago we were watching Championship football, now we’re in the Champions League!”

He is predicting a tight 2-1 win while James is struggling to offer a scoreline: “I never make a prediction, whenever I say something it goes the opposite way so I’m going to give that a miss!

“It’s really quite special” he adds. Especially after the Mike Ashley days. It’s a nice change to have everyone happy and united again.”
