"For who?" Savage pressed.
"Probably you could look at 10/14 clubs," Sutton said. "This season Scott Brown has been fantastic. You haven't seen enough of Scott Brown."

"Scott Brown. All day long!" Sutton confidently answered.
That prompted a disbelieving eye-roll and "Is he f...!" from Savage, the full rant from whom can be seen below.
