You're listening to the Footglitch Podcast. Love football, learn English.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Was the referee right to send Declan Rice off in the Arsenal-Brighton game for gently kicking the ball away?

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Which two teams haven't dropped any points yet this season?

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Did Haaland win the Hero of the Week again after scoring another hat-trick?

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
And what does the phrase year in and year out mean?

The Footglitch Podcast

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Footglitch Podcast, your go-to English learning podcast about football.

8
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,000
And today we are talking about the Premier League again and we will be discussing round three or game week three.

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
And for that I have here with me Nrup again. Welcome back Nrup, how are you?

10
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
I'm alright here. It's okay.

11
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Fantastic. Are you still in India?

12
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I am, I am, yeah.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Okay. I wanted to ask you, do Indian people love watching football and the Premier League?

14
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Yeah, I mean there's a huge fan base. In fact, like I would say the older generation, there are lots of Man United fans and there's a huge fan base.

15
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. Lots of Chelsea fans.

16
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
They can't be too happy these days.

17
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Yeah, it's true, but it is what it is. They are still staying strong and they watch the games very religiously.

18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Although I must say that football is still not the best or the most popular sport in India, but there is a huge fan base.

19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Let me guess, the most popular sport is cricket.

20
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It is, yeah.

21
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Okay, well, this is not the Krikglisch podcast, this is the Footglisch podcast.

22
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
So we are here to talk about football.

23
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Sorry, wrong look, I just leave. See you guys.

24
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:31,000
No, you can stay, you can stay. Of course, I know you are a football fan and you have a lot of insight and that's what we need here.

25
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
First of all, I'm going to go through the results of this round quickly Nrup.

26
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,000
And I'm going to ask you as well if you think that any of these results are a surprise.

27
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Okay, so on Sunday, no, sorry, we should start with Saturday, right?

28
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Saturday before Sunday, I think. So Arsenal Brighton, that was actually the first game.

29
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
It was an early kickoff, as we say, one all.

30
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
So I'm sure we will talk about this one because as we know, you are an Arsenal fan and so am I.

31
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
So one all, Arsenal Brighton. Then Brentford, Southampton, 3-1.

32
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Everton, Bournemouth, 2-3. Ipswich, Fulham, one all.

33
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Leicester, Aston Villa, 1-2. Nottingham, Forest, Wolves, 1-1.

34
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000
West Ham, Manchester City, 1-3. And then Sunday's games, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, one all.

35
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Newcastle, Spurs, 2-1. And then finally, Man Utd, Liverpool, 0-3.

36
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Nrup, which of these results surprises you?

37
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I would go with, let's say starting with Saturday.

38
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
I would go with Arsenal Brighton. Then I would go with Ipswich, Fulham.

39
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And yeah, that's it. And of course, when it comes to Sunday, I would go for Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

40
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And United versus Liverpool.

41
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Okay. So that's interesting. United versus Liverpool.

42
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Before we get into the Arsenal game, because that's the main sort of main thing on the agenda here today.

43
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Why does the result of Man Utd surprise you, Nrup?

44
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Because in my opinion, in the last few years, hasn't it always been like that?

45
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Didn't Liverpool always play really well at Old Brefford?

46
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:44,000
They did, but Liverpool, they have a new manager and I was just not expecting such five-star performance.

47
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I mean, even the players, they were not really satisfied with the result.

48
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
They were like, yeah, we were expecting 6-0, 5-0 easily.

49
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Who was expecting 6-0? Sorry, I'm not getting it.

50
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Shubhandyke and Mohamed Salah. They said that after the game, that you were expecting much more goals.

51
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Yeah, it was a quote-to-quote. So I was really shocked.

52
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
That's shocking, right? Because Manchester United, home game.

53
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,000
One of the best teams historically in the entire history of Premier League.

54
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And how can they be in a position like that?

55
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:29,000
How can they be struggling so much? Because it seems like this is happening year in, year out.

56
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I think it's the players because I would say Arsenal have been in such a situation.

57
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
It feels familiar. So to me, it looks like it's the players.

58
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000
There needs to be a massive overall. You can see the contracts of the current players and their wages.

59
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
I don't think it's worth it.

60
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Okay, well, do you think that the issue is the manager, Erich Ten Haag?

61
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Because some fans are not really happy with him either.

62
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000
It could be, but I don't think it's completely on him because even the new owner,

63
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
if I'm not wrong, the Radcliffe, is that his surname?

64
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
I'm not sure. Something like that.

65
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Something like that, yeah. So even he said that we would need at least three, four transfer windows

66
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
to actually create a competitive sport.

67
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
And I think last year, Ten Haag was saying that we shouldn't be with the current squad,

68
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,000
with the current situation of Manchester United, we shouldn't be aiming for the title,

69
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
for the Premier League title, and we should take things step by step.

70
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000
So I believe that they're going in a decent direction if you look at how he's handling some players.

71
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
But at the end of the day, we have to provide results.

72
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:53,000
You do. And if you are a Manchester United fan, unfortunately, because of what they have experienced,

73
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:02,000
the years of winning trophies under Alex Ferguson, these fans, they are not going to take these results lightly.

74
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
They remember these victories and they need it back.

75
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Old Trafford is a very stronghold, so it's really embarrassing for a team with 13 titles

76
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,000
losing comfortably for the past five, six years to a team that has won one title.

77
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000
So it says a lot. There's a heritage from both sides.

78
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
It looks like a one-sided game for the past six years.

79
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Yeah, and 3-0. It doesn't say much, but it's enough.

80
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
It says a lot, in my opinion, actually.

81
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000
I mean, I'm talking about the result. It could have been more, but yeah, 3-0.

82
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:49,000
I mean, they can't be happy there. Even Gary Neville, the famous Pandit reporter, journalist,

83
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Sky Sports journalist, he's not happy either.

84
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000
He always blames it on the owners, actually, whenever he speaks.

85
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Right, interesting. I mean, even we had a phase where we were blaming the Crowing Keys

86
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
for not spending enough and how Wenger was managing a positive transfer window

87
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
after so many years of having such players. We used to be the number four team,

88
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
but now being the number four team itself is a heritage of its own.

89
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
It's an achievement these days, right? Manchester United, they will struggle with these results.

90
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000
But, well, we gradually started talking about Arsenal here.

91
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000
So 1-1. I think the result doesn't tell the story, though.

92
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,000
I think it's all going to be about that one incident, right?

93
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:46,000
So what exactly happened there? So basically we are talking about a second yellow card for Declan Rice.

94
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
I think this is the turning point in the game. No doubt about that.

95
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Before that, we were controlling the game, right? 1-0. Who scored our first goal?

96
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Kai Havertz. Kai Havertz, Saka assist. It was a beautiful goal.

97
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
It was great. Absolutely great. Those two are really working well together.

98
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:13,000
They have a great partnership. But, Nrub, what did you make of that incident?

99
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And can you actually explain to the listeners of the Footgris podcast what happened there?

100
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Because it was rather bizarre. It was bizarre.

101
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000
So it happened, I think, somewhere between 55th or 60th minute.

102
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000
What happened was Rice was already cautioned in the first half. He already received a yellow card.

103
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
And somewhere on the left flank, there was supposed to be a free kick.

104
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000
But for a free kick, the ball has to be stationed somewhere. And it was a moving ball.

105
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:52,000
So apparently, the referee thought that Rice was intervening the incident.

106
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Well, what happened was exactly that he made a foul, right?

107
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,000
It looks like he made a foul. And the game was stopped. And the game was stopped.

108
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,000
It was not a yellow card incident or anything like that. But it was a foul, right? I think.

109
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,000
It looked like a foul. And he was walking away from the ball slowly.

110
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:25,000
And as he was walking away, he slightly kicked the ball from the...

111
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Which wasn't in his vision. But the ball was moving.

112
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
The thing was, the ball was moving. It was moving slowly. I agree with you.

113
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
It wasn't stationed, which it seems quite important for that incident. I agree with you.

114
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
But also, it was kind of in his way.

115
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Although, it did look like he knew what he was doing.

116
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000
And the issue is that we see this all the time, right? Players do this all the time.

117
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
It's a bit of what we call a shithousery. You just want to...

118
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000
You don't want... Normally, what you should do, actually, is just to stand in front of the ball

119
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:14,000
until everybody is able to get back into their positions and be ready for whatever happens from that free kick.

120
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000
But instead, he slightly kicked it. And I think the ball rolled for about one meter.

121
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
One meter away from that spot that he kicked it from.

122
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And also, the player, he was trying to take that free kick immediately. Super quickly.

123
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,000
As you said, the ball was moving. Also, in doing so, he kind of kicked the rice.

124
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
It was such a bizarre moment.

125
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000
He did not touch the ball from what it looked like. He did not touch the ball at all. He just kicked the rice.

126
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000
But he was trying to kick the ball. And the reason he kicked the rice instead of the ball

127
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,000
is actually that the rice had kicked it away from that spot slightly.

128
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:04,000
So he couldn't really. Right? Yeah. But the way he kicked it, to me, it looked like it was deliberate.

129
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
I think he wanted to kick the rice just to, I don't know, provoke it.

130
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
But what rice did, let's be honest, what rice did was also deliberate.

131
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000
It was, yeah. It's not something that is rare. It's not something that is often criticized.

132
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:26,000
It's honestly just ignored normally. Under normal playing conditions, it doesn't matter who the player or the team is.

133
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
It seems so innocent. It doesn't matter the competition.

134
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Even on the highest stage of the competition, be it UCL final or FIFA World Cup, people still do that.

135
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Yeah, but it was just usually something bigger than that. It was just so innocent.

136
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
And the referee, what did the referee do then?

137
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Yeah, he did something that was apparently not. And that was just give him a yellow card.

138
00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Yeah, because first of all, rice was kind of rolling on the floor because it looked like it wasn't nice that he got kicked at that moment.

139
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
So everybody thought, oh, what's going to happen? Is he going to get a yellow? The Brighton player?

140
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,000
I don't know who it was anymore. It doesn't matter. Is he going to get the yellow or what's going to happen there?

141
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Or is the referee just trying to calm down everyone, you know, before this set piece is taken?

142
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000
And to everyone's surprise, he showed the second yellow card to Declan Rice.

143
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And we're talking about when was this? 60th minute or something?

144
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Something like that. 50th, 50th or 60th minute.

145
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Yeah, it's quite early, quite early. Declan Rice, a super important player.

146
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Exactly.

147
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Right. And I think it was also his first red card in career.

148
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
In senior football, he has never had a red card.

149
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Yeah, such an important player to go away. We were one man down against Brighton, which is a team that always hurts the top teams.

150
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Exactly.

151
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Yeah, it was a huge loss.

152
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
He couldn't believe it, Rice, right? He couldn't believe it.

153
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Nobody could believe it.

154
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Not even Brighton players.

155
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Yeah, I'm sure 100%. And it was just embarrassing, shocking.

156
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:14,000
And the thing is, at one point I'm just numb because, you know, referees and referee decisions in Arsenal,

157
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I mean, you know, it's like we are each other's protagonist and antagonist of each other.

158
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
So we are like an actual enemy.

159
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:31,000
But we can't, we can't sort of get hung up on this because then we get this label, oh, Arsenal fans, you're always crying.

160
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Because unfortunately, this is what we always do.

161
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I don't like this, because whenever there's a referee problem, Arteta always speaks about it.

162
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
This is my issue with what happened. I absolutely hate it.

163
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I think it was insensitive from the referee. We can talk about the letter of the law.

164
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Maybe they have changed some rules that now they don't tolerate this shithouse-ery.

165
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
And I think these were instructions. That's why he did it.

166
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
I don't think the referee did it because there's any malice, there's any animosity against Arsenal.

167
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
I don't think, I think these guys are professionals.

168
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:13,000
I think he was under the instructions to, you know, to stop players from doing these things and to caution them immediately,

169
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
to show yellow cards for things like this.

170
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
And so he stuck to the letter of the law.

171
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000
My issue with that is it's just he was not using common sense because, yes, there is the letter of the law.

172
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
But if we always stick to the letter of the law, there is no football.

173
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
I just pinch you or I slightly touch you and it's a foul.

174
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Do you know what I mean?

175
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
You also have to use common sense when you're refereeing a football game.

176
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,000
And this was, I think, I'm sure he regrets this now, this referee, because...

177
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And there's another thing, and that's what Arteta was pointing to.

178
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,000
He said, and Declan Rice as well, that basically there have been more incidents like that in the game.

179
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
And it was Brighton who kicked the ball away.

180
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And I think Joel Pedro, more than this.

181
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
This seems just so innocent.

182
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:15,000
And the fact that he was on a yellow card as well, I mean, it's just incredibly stupid decision from the referee, in my opinion.

183
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
I agree with you on most segments.

184
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Regarding the part where, you know, we have been labeled as victims of referee, I think it's true.

185
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
The facts speak for itself and we have the data, we have the clips.

186
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:37,000
And I think I would say they are partially to be blamed for us to at least be in the hand for us to lose the title last season.

187
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Because I remember those games where we lost points because of referee decision.

188
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
I know.

189
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And it is a huge factor because referees, they are the so-called demigods of the game and they play a huge factor.

190
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
And it's not just Arsenal.

191
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
There are many other teams that also suffer from it.

192
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Liverpool, another example.

193
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
I mean, there was a time where Liverpool used to be called.

194
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Also Wolves, right?

195
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Yeah, but at the same time, there used to be a time where Liverpool used to be called Liverpool.

196
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Maybe, I don't know why, maybe there was some other reason.

197
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Liverpool. Yeah, but my point is, listen to me.

198
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
My point is, this is the wrong mentality.

199
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:27,000
If, or the wrong mindset, if you always blame the referees for whatever happens to you, you are putting yourself in a position of victim.

200
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:36,000
And I think it's always an unhealthy habit to victimise yourself because then you are not focusing on improving yourself, on making progress.

201
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
This is my point.

202
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I think this is distracting us from progressing.

203
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,000
I think it's a rule of thumb in life anyway.

204
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Yeah, that's my point.

205
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
And I agree with you.

206
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
This was completely unfair.

207
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Nrup, we have three minutes because then I have to teach a lesson.

208
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Let's do our hero of the week and villain of the week.

209
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000
So let's start with the hero of the week.

210
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Who is it for you?

211
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
For me, it would be Erling Haaland for his action against West Ham.

212
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Yeah, I mean, it was just heroic.

213
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Heroic like this guy.

214
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000
He just cannot stop.

215
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
You know what?

216
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Yeah.

217
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Hat trick.

218
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Another hat trick.

219
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Two back to back hat tricks.

220
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Yeah.

221
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And incredible.

222
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000
He's a monster.

223
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,000
And I'm thinking of renaming this segment into Haaland of the week.

224
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Yeah, I was thinking of that.

225
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:36,000
To be honest, it also starts with age, so not much will change.

226
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Yeah, well, he is.

227
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
I mean, he was really fantastic.

228
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Shout out to Luis Diaz for his performance.

229
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Do you know what his dream is?

230
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
What is his dream?

231
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000
He once said that his dream is to score four goals with four touches,

232
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
because sometimes people say Haaland is not that good.

233
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
He doesn't even touch the ball much in the game.

234
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000
How does he impact the game?

235
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
He scores goals.

236
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,000
And then to that, he responded, yeah, my dream is to score four goals with four touches.

237
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
That's lovely.

238
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,000
I mean, honestly, such answers are not really to be encouraged,

239
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,000
but I really like how he really answers everybody's criticism with his work.

240
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Exactly.

241
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,000
So yeah, it's good.

242
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
That's my hero.

243
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
OK, yeah.

244
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
To be honest, I was going to say Haaland too,

245
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000
and my second choice would be Luis Diaz for scoring two goals against Manchester United.

246
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Very nice goals as well.

247
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
He seems to be playing really well.

248
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:40,000
I regret the decision to choose Diego Jota now over him in my fantasy team.

249
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
But anyway, villain of the week for you.

250
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
I think we know who that's going to be.

251
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
It's going to be the usual suspect.

252
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
The ref, right?

253
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Which ref?

254
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
I wonder which one.

255
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Anyone that always harms us, really.

256
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
It's a fact.

257
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Oh, come on.

258
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Yeah, it has to be the referee.

259
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000
He really impacted the game.

260
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
We forgot to say that after that we conceded a goal.

261
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
João Pedro equalised.

262
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
And since, well, from that moment, from that red card,

263
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
we were not the same team and we were under the coach.

264
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Brighton were all over us.

265
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
I think we were actually quite lucky to get a draw from that game.

266
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
But yeah, we have a point.

267
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Brighton are playing amazing football.

268
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,000
We can quickly have a look.

269
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
This is the last thing we will do here.

270
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
We can quickly have a look at the table.

271
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Yeah.

272
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
So where is that?

273
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Those of you who are watching on YouTube, you will be able to see the table now.

274
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Liverpool and Man City, the only two teams who didn't drop any points yet.

275
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
They are both on nine points.

276
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Man City have a better goal difference.

277
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
That's why they are ahead.

278
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
And Brighton in the third place ahead of Arsenal.

279
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
And then also Newcastle United who don't seem to be playing well,

280
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
but somehow they keep getting points.

281
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000
This time they beat Tottenham.

282
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Yeah, then sixth place, Brentford.

283
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Then Aston Villa, Bournemouth.

284
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
And Everton in the last place.

285
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Okay, it's early doors.

286
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
It's early in the season, of course.

287
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
But how do you see this league so far?

288
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Yeah, it's going great.

289
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
35 more games to go.

290
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And yeah, I mean, there's one more transfer window in the middle of the season.

291
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
So looking forward to everything.

292
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
I still think that we will win the league.

293
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
And yeah, I'm just positive.

294
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Progress.

295
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
We still haven't been defeated yet.

296
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Okay, thank you very much for featuring on the Footglitch Podcast again.

297
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
I'm going to speak about the Fantasy League in the language corner section

298
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
because I know this season you don't play.

299
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
You're not the manager.

300
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I think you are like Jurgen Klopp.

301
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
You're taking a break.

302
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Hopefully you will be back next season with the Fantasy League.

303
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
We miss you.

304
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
We miss you in the league.

305
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Cheers, man.

306
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,000
I'll be back.

307
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,000
I'll be back.

308
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Hopefully one day.

309
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Yeah, either for national team or club football.

310
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
I don't know.

311
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Okay.

312
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Fantastic.

313
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Cheers anyway.

314
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Take care, man.

315
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Take care and bye bye.

316
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Bye bye.

317
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000
All right, everyone.

318
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Welcome back to the language corner.

319
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:40,000
As always in this part of the show, I will be teaching because it is my job to teach English.

320
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
That's right.

321
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
I'm an English teacher.

322
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:49,000
And this time I would like to talk about the phrase year in, year out.

323
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000
We were talking with Nrub about Manchester United Liverpool

324
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,000
and the fact that in the last few years Liverpool have been dominating Manchester United.

325
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000
And that includes games at Old Trafford, right?

326
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
At the Manchester United Stadium.

327
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:13,000
And I just wanted to say that this keeps happening all the time.

328
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000
And I use this phrase.

329
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
It's happening year in, year out.

330
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,000
It's a very simple phrase, very flexible as well.

331
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:29,000
You can say month in, month out, week in, week out, day in, day out.

332
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And it has a similar meaning.

333
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Basically, it means all the time.

334
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Or we could say if you use year in, year out, it's kind of on a yearly basis, like every year.

335
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000
If you say month in, month out, it's kind of on a monthly basis.

336
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,000
If it's day in, day out, it's kind of like every day, right?

337
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:57,000
So continuously or repeatedly over a period of years, months, weeks or days,

338
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
depending on which word you use.

339
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Day in, day out, right?

340
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Like every single day, pretty much.

341
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,000
By the way, there are similar phrases you can use if you don't want to overuse this phrase

342
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,000
or if you don't want to stick to all the time, all the time.

343
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
See what I did there?

344
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Instead, you can use the phrase over and over again, again and again, time and time again,

345
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
or time after time.

346
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000
All these phrases pretty much mean the same thing.

347
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:39,000
And yeah, by using these lexical chunks, as we call them, you will sound more natural, right?

348
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Because it is our tendency for us, the non-native speakers, to overuse certain structures

349
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
because they become automatized in our language.

350
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,000
But we don't always show how much we know.

351
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
We don't always show the variety of the language in the way we could.

352
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
All right, I guess that will be all that I will squeeze into this episode.

353
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Do you know what?

354
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
I'll talk about my fantasy team another time.

355
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,000
It's not necessary to always involve it into the Footgritch Podcast, right?

356
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Especially if your guest doesn't play it, right?

357
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Okay, guys, that's absolutely everything for today.

358
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Thank you so much for listening and I'll speak to you soon.

359
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Take care. Bye bye.
