TalkTV host Morgan joined talkSPORT Breakfast on Wednesday morning and was understandably in an unbearable mood.

“Albeit, it was a bit like watching seal clubbing. I know it’s horrible, but you know in seal clubbing when their little heads pop up…

“Seal clubbing was a terrible thing, that was actually exposed by the Daily Mirror [when I was editor] - we had it outlawed.

“I think that us playing Chelsea should be outlawed now because it is so inhuman.”
