Transcript of the show

DB: You are listening to Languagecaster’s football-language podcast. Hiya everyone. I hope you are well and have enjoyed the football this week. My name is Damon, I’m based in Tokyo and it’s a beautiful sunny day here in Tokyo where I am based. Hopefully down the line is Damian in London. Damian? Are you there?

DF: Hello Damon, good to hear from you and good to be back after a week away from the podcast. My absence was not due to poor results from last week although I was miserable after Spurs’ defeat in the north London derby and of course Ireland’s heavy loss against Denmark in the World Cup qualifiers. Oh well, the good thing about football is that there is always another game or competition to look forward to!

DB: So what’s on the show?

DF: Well Damon, we have three main sections; we’ll start with the good, the bad and the ugly, where we pick some of the interesting news stories from the week. Then, we have some English for football language phrases, and this week we have to stab home and to put past. And we’ll finish with our predictions, and this week we have Liverpool v Chelsea, West Brom away at Tottenham at Wembley, and Burnley who are in 7th hosting  Arsenal who are 6th.

DF: Well it was Champions League action this week and PSG put seven past Celtic, which was good for the French side but humiliating for Celtic. Sevilla had a cracking come back, pegging back a Liverpool 3-0 half time lead to draw 3-3 with an amazing injury-time equaliser. They keep their unbeaten home record going, and it is now over a year since they were defeated at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Also good for Grêmio of Brazil who got a slim 1-0 win against Argentine outfit Lanús in the first leg at home in the
