I know it was mentioned on the Jason Steele thread, but it's probably worthy of its own thread so it gets noticed.
Jason Steele was on the MNC with Chappers, Sutton et al this evening, and it was a great listen. He started off talking about the lows in his career, a question prompted by the recent threats to Patrick Bamford, after his penalty miss, and Darren Moore, after Massive's play-off thumping. He said that coming to the Albion helped him fall back in love with playing football again.
Talk then turned to the Albion generally, yesterday's fantastic performance at Arsenal and the incredible season we are having. He mentioned how De Zerbi called him in and said he was going to be playing, but "it wasn't a present, you've earned it". He also said that De Zerbi is loving in the morning at training, but as soon as he puts his boots on and gets onto the training pitches he's an animal.
Anyway, the show has just become available to listen back. Scroll to about 1 hour 3 minutes to listen, and it's worth continuing after the Steele interview finishes for more Albion discussion which was ridiculously positive. Chris Sutton, in particular, couldn't have been more effusive about the impact De Zerbi has made on Premier League football. Enjoy!

. I think TB/PB will be doing their utmost to keep him sweet in this coming transfer window.
