00:00I think the world is a place of extremes, but Sheffield does feel more so like that sometimes.
00:05Yeah, I think it's a place where, because the good times are few and far between,
00:10you can appreciate them a lot more when they come around. And guys like us,
00:17Joe, and I'm sure I speak for you and all colleagues, we'd far rather be praising than
00:23criticising. You know, people think that we enjoy nitpicking and, you know, that we get more
00:30readers and more hits or whatever, people pay more attention when we're criticising.
00:35But we'd much rather be praising and it's such a pleasure and a joy. For instance, the opening
00:42game at Hillsborough, you know, even a hard-bitten old hack like me
00:46found it quite a moving occasion and, you know, a deeply pleasurable occasion.
