    It came as a shock to me too...

    Not too long ago, maybe towards the end of last summer, I saw Jordan Henderson walking his dog.

    A quick scout around the office has tales of seeing the likes of Jeff Whitley and Jon Macken (before Man City paid £5m for him).

    Out of a serious and potentially dangerous situation at London Stadium came quite a special moment for those youngsters.

    Clearly, the circumstances were severe, but imagine being able to sit on the bench during a Premier League match?

    Arsenal v Watford (13:30 GMT)

    Everton beat Derby 1-0 with a goal by Alan Ball. When I came back to Euston on the train that night I was walking behind two guys who were blind and I heard one of them saying to the other: 'Wasn't it great to be able to listen to the game?' I learned then how radio service could support so many people who could not watch the game on television.

    Yep, Saturday's Premier League action had a bit of everything.

    Manchester United solidified their place in second place and, more importantly, took care of Liverpool at Old Trafford.

    Newcastle steamrollered shocking Southampton to ease their relegation fears and turn the heat up on the Saints.

    And West Ham imploded on and off the pitch at London Stadium to leave us wondering where the Hammers go from here.
