There are only 6 weeks to go in the Premier League so it’s the business end of the season and on this week’s show we look back at a busy week of football that saw changes at both the top and the bottom of the table. We also have an interview with Marie O’Sullivan from The Language Point who will be telling us about her favourite football cliche as well as trying to predict some of the big games from the weekend including her home team Middlesbrough. We have your posts, lots of football language and of course you can read the transcript for the show in our post below (Damian = DF, Damon = DB).

DB: Well, we have an interview with Middlesbrough fan Marie O’Sullivan from the Sanako website and she’ll be talking about her favourite football cliche and her team’s chances of staying up this season.
