actually, looking at it again, he says "I turned my phone off [before the game], so I didn’t know the [Liverpool] result. I have just seen it then when I have come back in. So it is even a bit more of a kick in the teeth seeing that result."
so not clear if others knew but presumably none of them did or it would have got around...
