2016-17 Last day of the Season: It’s the last weekend of the Premier League season and we take a look at some of the big games taking place this Sunday – with Champions League places up for grabs. We also explain some football language including the phrase ‘a no-look pass‘ and we have some predictions from those final matches of the season.  Of course you can read the transcript for the show in our post below (Damian = DF, Damon = DB).

Transcript of the show

DB: You’re listening to Languagecaster’s football-language podcast. Hi everyone. Welcome to the podcast for all those who love the beautiful game and want to improve their English skills. My name’s Damon and I’m in Tokyo, which today has seen glorious sunshine and there’s more promised over the next few days. Now, down the line is Damian in London. Damian, how are things Europe way?

DF: Hello Damon, good to hear from you. It’s a sunny day here today in London for the final day of the season; now, I’ve just posted a photo of the London version of the languagecaster balcony – and despite not being the most exciting end of season we are all looking forward to it. Damon, are you nervous about the Liverpool game today?

DB: I am very, very nervous. This could be a horrible way to end the season if we slip against Middlesbrough and drop out of the top four at the last hurdle. I’ll be watching through my fingers.

Line up

DF: Don’t worry Damon! And of course we’ll be featuring that game in our predictions battle later on in the show. Damon, what’s on the rest of the show today?

DB: Well, we’ll follow our usual format with three main sections: a review of some of the footballing news to start, followed by some football phrases that we will explain and finally our predictions for the weekend – and, as you said, we will feature Liverpool’s game and the other two games that can affect the race for the Champions League spots in the Premier League. Now, in between those three sections we will have a quiz question and some information on how to get in touch with us or see what we are up to!
