English Through Football Podcast: 2018 Arsenal vs Liverpool

Transcript of the show (6th November 2018)

DF: You’re listening to Languagecaster.com’s football-language podcast. Hello and welcome everyone to the show for all who love football and who also want to improve their English skills. If you are a regular listener, make sure you tell a friend and get them to check out our show and website. The more the merrier! My name’s Damon and I’m living in Tokyo, and I enjoyed watching the Bournemouth versus Man United game, the Liverpool game against Arsenal, and Spurs versus Wolverhampton last weekend. I thought The Reds were going to bag all the points, that means get all 3 points, but in truth Arsenal deserved a point. Oh well, next time.

Line-up

DB: Now, on the show today we’ll start with a look at a couple of news stories from the football world before our weekly quiz question, which is connected to derbies.We’ve got some football language from our archive – to pit against and a look back at three games from the Premier League.
