Introduction
DF: You are listening to languagecaster.com’s football-language podcast.A Welcome everyone to the podcast for all lovers of the beautiful game, football, and who want to improve their English language skills. My name’s Damian, and I’m recording this English through football podcast in London. It’s a cold but clear day here in London – a good day for football! Now, down the line is Damon in Tokyo. Is it still typical Tokyo winter weather there Damon?
DB: Hi there Damian! Yes it is, blue skies and chilly! How’ve you been this week? Did you watch the Spurs vs Manchester United game?
DF: Oh, unfortunately, yes. I could not believe that my team Spurs did not get anything from this game as they absolutely overran Manchester United in the second half, they peppered the goal. I suppose I was not too down afterwards when I realised how many chances they created. Oh, actually, that’s not true I was really upset! And what about you? I’m guessing you watched Liverpool travel to Brighton and get a 1-0 win. How does it feel to be top of the league?
DB: Yes I did watch the game, which was a strange one really. Liverpool never looked troubled by Brighton and Hove Albion, but it could have easily finished 0-0 and we’d only have a two point lead over Man City. As it is, I still think we will be caught by Manchester City – they’ve got the experience.
DF: We’ll see! I saw them easily defeat Wolves on Monday although they were playing against ten men after an early red card for the visitors. OK, let’s look at what’s on the show today.
Line-up
DB: Well our review section is back after last week when we looked at the 2019 Asian Cup. So this week, we’ll have our usual good, bad and ugly review section to start the show. After that it’sA a quiz question, and this one is all about headers.
DF: Yes, and then I’ll be explaining some English for football, and this week we’ve got the phrase ‘cushion‘. And that will bring us to predictions at the end of the show. We’ve got three games involving the teams at the top end of the table: Liverpool versus Crystal Palace, Arsenal hosting Chelsea and Manchester City travelling to Huddersfield.
