“For sure. If you assume I’m up right here giving these speeches and main these males into battle and I gained’t step in there myself, assume again. For sure.

“And even McGregor placing money on Chandler to win lad, just like the Irish-scouse connection, he is meant to back me and he never.

“If he wants it, he’ll get muftied (sic) as well. I didn’t think he’d go against me, I thought he’d back me not back Chandler but one of them, innit?”
