1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 You're listening to the Footglitch Podcast. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Love football, learn English. 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Are there any positives for Tottenham to take from their defeat to Newcastle? 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000 What caused Anjić to lose his composure so much during his press conference? 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000 How excited are Tottenham fans about their new signing Czech goalkeeper Antonín Kinski? 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000 And what does the expression to invite pressure mean? 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:53,000 Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Footglitch Podcast, which is a football podcast that also aims to help people develop their English listening skills. 8 00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000 And I have to say that today there is no video, so this podcast is only available in the audio format. 9 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000 And that's because I've got some sort of face infection. 10 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 In other words, I look like a zombie. 11 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000 So it's probably for the best if there is no video. 12 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000 Anyway, today I'm talking to my friend, Anjić, who is a football player. 13 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000 And he's a football player. 14 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:27,000 So it's probably for the best if there is no video. Anyway, today I'm talking to my friend David about Tottenham again. 15 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Welcome back, David. How are you doing today? 16 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000 I'm fine, thanks. How are you? 17 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Apart from that face infection I mentioned at the beginning of the podcast, I'm all right. Thanks. I'm pretty good. 18 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000 So I need to talk to you today about the Spurs-Newcastle game. 19 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000 I've got a few interesting questions. Are you ready for that? 20 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000 Yeah, I'm ready for it. First of all, I'd like to say that I have seen Zenex face. 21 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000 And I think it's made the best decision for everyone to make this audio only today. 22 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Yeah, literally. I can't go out. I can't go out. 23 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000 And when I have to at least order some meals, right? 24 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000 So I book a meal and the motorbike delivers it for me. 25 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000 So that means I have to kind of go down at least. 26 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000 And I dread meeting people in the elevator. 27 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000 And sometimes there are some people, because this is a huge building that I'm in. 28 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000 And if it's kids, they just constantly look at me. They are so curious and they are just pointing at me. 29 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Like, who the fuck is that? Why does this person have like half of his face so red? 30 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Yeah, so anyway, this is a football podcast. It's not a podcast about health or anything like that. 31 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:53,000 So Spurs-Newcastle, to be honest, I think the shape of your team Spurs or Tottenham Hotspur, as we can say as well, 32 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:02,000 it's not very deep. It's not very far away from the way my face looks. Would you agree with that? 33 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000 I think you're doing Spurs a great injustice there, Zanek. 34 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 You would say so. 35 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000 I would, yeah. I mean, maybe in terms of what we can put out on the pitch, yeah. 36 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000 If that's what you mean, yeah. Rather than the actual shape of tactics. 37 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000 The results don't seem to be very good. 38 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000 I mean, they're very underwhelming this season and you're struggling. 39 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 You're a mid-table team now. 40 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000 I think the results are bad, but I think everything has context. 41 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000 I think if you look at life without context, then I think that's silly. 42 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Yeah, that's fair. There is a context to this and we will talk about it today. 43 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:55,000 So first of all, Ange Postekoglio, manager, said that he was the angriest he had ever been. 44 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000 It was in a post-match conference and he praised the players after this defeat. 45 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,000 He said it was a fantastic performance from you, but he was very, very angry. 46 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000 So what do you attribute his anger to? 47 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Well, I think when he said about the players doing well, I think it's probably relative to recent weeks where they haven't been doing so well. 48 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000 And I think rather than ostracizing the players at the moment, it's better to get behind them, 49 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,000 especially as you can see at the end of other managers' reign like Conte and Mourinho, the players generally give up. 50 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:39,000 It's fairly evident that the players aren't giving up at the moment and they're still fully behind Ange. 51 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:47,000 I think his anger probably... well, in this game it was to do with the referee, which is unusual for Ange. 52 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Exactly. 53 00:04:49,000 --> 00:05:00,000 This was a strange one. It might not even be about the referee, it might even be about the rulebook that over kind of he hates the AR in general. 54 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Yeah, and we'll probably get onto that a little bit. 55 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Yeah, yeah, definitely. Definitely keep that in mind. 56 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000 But basically, I think we also have to mention the fact that you have about 11 players missing from the squad. 57 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Half of the squad is injured, so you're down to the bare bones. 58 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Exactly. 59 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:32,000 And as far as I understand, in this game you played two 18-year-olds and also a goalkeeper that had never played, Forster. 60 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Yeah, no, not Forster, Austin. 61 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Austin, sorry, sorry, sorry. 62 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:48,000 But I also have to ask you about the fact that Madison, Son and Basuma, like big names, included in the lineup. 63 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000 I think they were just on bench, so why? 64 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000 I think this is a purely tactical decision by Ange. 65 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000 And anyone who says he's one-dimensional in terms of just attacking, this shows he's not. 66 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,000 I think what he knew the game first and foremost would be about physicality with new parcels. 67 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:16,000 So they've got Jolinton, Tonali, Guimara, and anyone who has watched him play 90 minutes knows newcars are a very kind of dirty, aggressive, very fit team. 68 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,000 So I think he wanted players like Saar, even Bergvar, who's 18, but he's very fit. 69 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,000 And even Werner in terms of just his pace and stamina to start the game. 70 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,000 And then he was going to bring on Basuma, Son, who haven't been in very good form anyway. 71 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000 So they need a rest later on in the game. 72 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000 And although the result didn't go the right way, on another day it could have done. 73 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000 And yeah, I completely get that decision by Ange. 74 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Yeah, that makes sense. 75 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000 So in this game, you took the lead through Solanka. 76 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000 It was a lovely header, right? 77 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:01,000 But then Newcastle scored that goal that I think nobody from the Spurs camp were happy about. 78 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Basically, in the build up of this game, Jolinton made a handball. 79 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000 But they ruled it as his hand being in a natural position. 80 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000 But I always thought that any kind of handball, the goal is disallowed. 81 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000 I always thought this was the rule. So what happened here then? 82 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Well, that's the thing, Zeynep. A lot of people are saying, oh, by the letter of the law, this should be allowed, this goal. 83 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:39,000 Because this year, the handball rule is if it's in the natural position, so in your shadow, or wherever it should be. 84 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:46,000 And it's not, and you're not the player that scores, it counts as a goal and shouldn't be disallowed. 85 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000 But I mean, personally, I couldn't give two shits what it says this year. 86 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Because they change the rule every year. It's not like talking about the Ten Commandments here. 87 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Literally, every year they decide to change the rule. 88 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000 And there's just a complete lack of common sense. 89 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Anyone who saw that goal on Saturday, if they're neutral or Tottenham, would just say that has such an impact on that passing of play. 90 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000 There's no way that would have been scored. 91 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,000 And especially in the modern day, where you invite the press onto you to then bypass it and create a better opportunity for yourself. 92 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000 I mean, the ball clearly hits Jorrenton, changes complete 180 degrees. 93 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,000 And I think if there's no common sense allowed, you can't make a rule for everything on football. 94 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:41,000 And just this overuse of having everything down to the nth degree with rules is just bizarre, especially for something like handball. 95 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Just common sense and very easy to do that for handball. 96 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Yeah, no, I feel for you, even though I'm an Arsenal fan. 97 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000 It was a very dodgy decision. 98 00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:03,000 And then I think you did not recover from that because Isaac put Newcastle up front and you lost that game a few moments later. 99 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000 So as you said, Ansh Pustakoglu wasn't happy. I think it wasn't the only decision that goal. 100 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000 There were a few other moments. 101 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:21,000 And as you pointed out, rightly so, Ansh Pustakoglu himself, he is not known for actually looking for excuses of this sort. 102 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000 In fact, he actually hates people who do that. 103 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:32,000 So that's very unusual for him to sort of indirectly imply because he didn't say it very directly. 104 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:41,000 He sort of implied it that he was not happy with the officials and that some things kind of went against. 105 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000 That were not under his under his team's control. Basically, that's what he's suggesting. 106 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Yeah, I think that so say you say you apply the natural law to that handball and say it's fine. 107 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000 The issue was 10 minutes later Tottenham won the counterattack and Dan Burn, who'd already been narrow carded, 108 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000 kind of came charging in with his hands like literally out like a ballerina doing a pair of pure right. 109 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000 And the bill struck his hand. So then and the problem was the referee gave the free kick. 110 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000 So if he doesn't get the free kick, I understand the refs made a mistake. Doesn't matter. 111 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000 But the refs given the free kick for the handball, the handballs, the hands are way out of his body. 112 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000 I mean, that's just known to be a yellow card if you stop a counterattack with a deliberate handball and he decides not to book him. 113 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000 So it's like you can't apply the letter of the law to one handball and not the other. 114 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000 So it's just like that was and then there's a Joel Linton, who is a very physical player. 115 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Just you know, when the pair does two, three, four yellow card files and doesn't get any of them as a yellow card, 116 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,000 that kind of winds up a manager of the opposition team. So there's a lot of that going on too. 117 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,000 But I think you can take some positives from this game. You definitely deserve at least a point. 118 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000 There are some positives to be taken from the game basically. 119 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000 And what you have to do is that you just have to like if you are post-ecoglue, 120 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:13,000 you have to turn this into sort of positive motivation and try to encourage the players to stand behind, be behind them and just galvanize the team. 121 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:21,000 I think so. Yeah. I think this was different to the other games we've had recently where we've played against Wolves and drew one-all. 122 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,000 And then we've had a few away games where we just haven't kind of turned up and it's very just lethargic. 123 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000 This was different. It felt different. Yeah. I watched some bits from the game as well. 124 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000 I have to be honest, I didn't watch the whole game. But yeah. 125 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:45,000 So this is what I admire about Anj. He just doesn't back down from his style. It's the Anj ball. 126 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:53,000 And yeah, it's kind of admirable. Although some people might say that that means it doesn't show his flexibility. 127 00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:01,000 But I kind of admire it. I think Tottenham should play the way they do. And Newtros also appreciate this. 128 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Exactly. Can I just say the Premier League this year is just so much more competitive. 129 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:17,000 Apart from the three bottom teams or two, every team has good players. Even Cunha, Cunha at the moment for Wolves is about to sign a new contract. 130 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:28,000 And he could go to a few good clubs. Even Palace have like as a last year they had at least say every team's got good players that can hurt another team. 131 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:37,000 And that makes it better, I think. But it does mean that a team like Spurs or Arsenal, they're not going to win every game. 132 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000 It's not going to be like Pochettino five years ago where the league is much worse. 133 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Yeah, you're right. It's really interesting. Anyone can kind of beat anyone. 134 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Apart from I would say Liverpool. Liverpool seems to be thriving on this. They're the most consistent team. 135 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000 They're the most consistent team. But we all know about Manchester City's crisis and all that. 136 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,000 But a few struggling teams apart from your team Tottenham, we would also have to mention Manchester United, of course. 137 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:13,000 And not just them. West Ham is not doing well. And who else? I'm missing one. Yeah, but of course City. 138 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:23,000 So one thing I really have to ask you about, as you know, I'm from the Czech Republic. I'm Czech. And you, I believe, have signed a Czech player. 139 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Tottenham have signed a Czech goalkeeper Anton Jinkinski. Yeah, so you've got a new fan called Zenek. 140 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000 No, I'm not going to become a fan. 141 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:43,000 When every player signs a player from Czech, you change to that team. Like, first it was Zeki, then it was West Ham, then it was two fouls. I'll be Spurs. 142 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,000 I know you're trying to wind me up, but I will explain this. Yeah, I'm going to come clean on this. 143 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:56,000 So I am more a Czech fan than I'm an Arsenal fan. Basically, that's that's the reason. Yeah. 144 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:10,000 So I love the Czech national team. I've always supported it. And especially if you are from a small country, like every sort of success of a player abroad, especially in a league like the Premier League, which in my opinion is the best league in the world. 145 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:23,000 It's great. Like, it feels great to see that. So that's why I support West Ham. That's why I wish all the best to Anton Jinkinski, even if I'm an Arsenal fan. 146 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:35,000 So I know maybe I wouldn't be, you know, like this wouldn't bode well with the Arsenal fans. They would definitely take the piss out of me for that. But I cannot I cannot help it. 147 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Yeah. So he signed for 12.5 million pounds. Yeah. 148 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Which I think for you is quite cheap. But for the Czech League, because he is coming from Slavia Prague, for the Czech League, it's like one of the highest transfers for a goalkeeper. It's great. I think Petr Petrchek was nowhere near that. 149 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:04,000 Actually, when he went to he first went to Rennes, the French team. So what do you what do you make of him then? 150 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Well, obviously, I don't watch domestic football, but I've watched I've watched some of the highlights and I mean, I can't I can't I haven't seen him play. But what I like is the profile in terms of I think we said in the previous podcast on the 151 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:35,000 podcast, you know, I thought they should have made a really tough decision to sell Hugo Luis, even though he was one of the best goalkeepers in the world, because he couldn't play with his feet. I think it changed the whole sense of what we were trying to do. 152 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:55,000 But I just think that that goalkeeper who is calm and can play with their feet. It's so important when you try and invite the pressure on in modern day football to then get behind the opposing team. And the good thing about this goalkeeper seems like he he is of that kind of new type of goalkeeper where he can use his feet and play calmly out the back. 153 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:13,000 And that's the main thing. And then you just have to trust the scouts so they see that he's a good goalkeeper as well. Yeah, well, he does have great numbers. And as you said, he he is amazing with his feet. And this is true. I have seen it with my own eyes. We have seen him in the national team as well. 154 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:32,000 He does have this calm presence around him and he doesn't seem to make mistakes. Of course, you will eventually make a mistake. But the point is to to minimalise these mistakes. And if he can play this way, I think that he will definitely suit the system because you want to play it out from the back. 155 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000 Yeah. 156 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Well, the good thing is also that he seems to be brought in to provide competition for Vicario rather than just being back up. I think they're going to fight out for the number one spot. Maybe Vicario kind of at the moment seems like the number one. 157 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000 He'll have a couple of months playing because Vicario is out for another two months. 158 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000 He's injured. That's right. 159 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000 So it's really his chance now to grab it. 160 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Absolutely. So you think he will start as number one then from the get go? 161 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Absolutely. I mean, Fraser Forster is just an embarrassment of the goalkeeper. He should have retired years ago. He's good at saving anything that's close to his body. But any time he has to run, he really plods and it's hard to watch. 162 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:33,000 I would say Austin, our third choice, looks from that game a lot better than our second choice. But I think he'll go straight in the team for Wednesday. I hope so. He's allowed to be registered. 163 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Right. Right. Right. Yeah. You need that after Brexit. You need a work permit now if you want to work in the UK. 164 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Because I used to work in the UK as an English teacher. So back in the day, yeah, there was no Brexit. Of course, yeah. I could just work there in an easy way. But now it's more complicated. 165 00:17:50,000 --> 00:18:05,000 But the point is you have got a Czech goalkeeper now. We wish him all the best and hopefully he beds in well and he shows his quality immediately and improves your team. 166 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:15,000 Hopefully he will develop himself as a player too. Is Arsenal the weekend? Maybe he'll get another match in that game. I think it's the Northumbrian derby this weekend or next weekend. 167 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:25,000 I think it's the next weekend. I think it's epic happens weekend. Wow. If it's the next weekend. Oh my God. You can watch it together in Da Nang maybe. 168 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:40,000 If I'm back in Da Nang. No, it's not. I don't think you will be. No, no, no. But it's not. It's not. It's not. Probably the week after. Ah, OK. Yeah. But I think I will be in Da Nang back then. 169 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:49,000 So anyway, this is a private conversation. You're just listening in on ladies and gentlemen. Basically, Jenks, aka David, aka Jenks is my friend. 170 00:18:49,000 --> 00:19:03,000 And we are about to catch up in Da Nang, which is the city I used to live in. But now I'm in another city. So hopefully we will manage to see this North London derby together again. 171 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:19,000 All right. Well, David, thanks. Thank you very much for your for your insight. And I hope to talk to you soon. Yeah, I think. Bye. Cheers. 172 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:35,000 Welcome back to the language corner. As always, in this part of the show, I'm going to do my job. I'm an English teacher. That's right. If you need an English teacher, you could hire me. I offer one to one online lessons. 173 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:55,000 And all you have to do is to just email me at teachers, then at Gmail dot com. And we will take it from there. And this time on the language corner, I'd like to explain several vocabulary items that appeared in my conversation with David. 174 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:13,000 And so these words or phrases were used by David and I. Let's start with this one. I compared Spurs basically to the way my face currently looks and which is the reason this episode is not on YouTube. 175 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:29,000 I think you're doing Spurs grace injustice was, however, David's response to that. If you're doing someone great injustice, it means that basically you are being unfair to Spurs. 176 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:51,000 You are too critical to Spurs. Basically, your comparison of your face is too harsh and undeserved. Basically, what he was saying is that my face looks much worse than Tottenham Hotspur look at the moment as a football team, which obviously was a little bit light hearted from David as well. 177 00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:08,000 I would say rather than ostracizing players, it's better to get behind them. David said that. What does ostracizing players mean? Basically, it means excluding or alienating them from the team or squad. 178 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:27,000 Isolating them either emotionally or professionally ostracizing someone right so he could have that we are talking about post a coglue here by the way, and post a coglue these Spurs manager, he could have gone after his players, he could have criticized his players, but he's not doing that. 179 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:43,000 He doesn't want to ostracize his players. He doesn't want to alienate them. Instead, excuse me, he talked about the referees or the rules of the game. Next half the squad is injured. So you're down to the bare bones. 180 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:58,000 I said that one. If you're down to the bad bones, it means you have very few resources left. And in football, this means that the squad is severely depleted due to injuries, suspensions or other issues. 181 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:15,000 And it basically leaves you with limited options. Yeah, so if you're down to the bare bones, it's not very good. All you have is the bones. It's like a metaphor from I think it's a metaphor from eating some sort of animal sort of bar. 182 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:29,000 It could be a barbecue or whatever you eat an animal and all you have left is now the bones because everyone else is eating the meat. So you're down to the bare bones, not very options left to eat. Right. 183 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:36,000 If you're starving, let's say hungry on a desert island or something. 184 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:47,000 Right next. Although the result didn't go their way on another day, it could have done, said David about the Tottenham's performance. 185 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:54,000 If something doesn't go your way, it means the things don't work out in your favor. 186 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:05,000 And in this case, basically, you don't win the match or you don't get a favorable outcome in the match. You don't draw. You don't win. 187 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000 It doesn't go your way. Very useful expression indeed. 188 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:24,000 I feel for you, even though I'm an Arsenal fan, it was a dodgy decision. Right. So I was referring to the first Newcastle game and the fact that there was a handball in the buildup of that game. 189 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:34,000 And I was talking about the referee's decision to award this goal, despite VAR's check. 190 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000 But if we say something is a dodgy decision, it means this decision is questionable or suspicious. 191 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Maybe it implies a poor judgment or unfairness. Usually by a referee or official. Right. 192 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:56,000 So basically, you are sort of criticizing the decision by using the word dodgy. 193 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Ange doesn't back down from his style. I said that one. If you don't back down from your style, you don't abandon or compromise your approach or philosophy. 194 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,000 You keep doing the same thing that you believe in. That's what Ange Postecoglou is known for. 195 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:21,000 He's sticking to his principles, even under pressure, even when things don't go Tottenham's way. 196 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:31,000 He will not back down from his style. This wouldn't bode well with Arsenal fans. They would take the piss out of me. 197 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:41,000 Basically, I was talking about the fact that I will support Kinski, even though he's going to play for Tottenham now. 198 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Kinski is a Czech goalkeeper. And of course, I wish him all the best. 199 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,000 And I want him to succeed because I'm Czech and I support the Czech team most and foremost. 200 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:59,000 And I sort of suggested that this might not bode well with the Arsenal fans. They would take the piss out of me. 201 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:07,000 So we have two expressions here. If something doesn't bode well with someone, it basically means that it wouldn't be kind of accepted by them. 202 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:15,000 It wouldn't be well received by them. They would not react positively to that. 203 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,000 And they would take the piss out of me. So if someone takes the piss out of you, they make fun of you. 204 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000 They mock you, often humorously, but sometimes harshly too. 205 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:31,000 This is common in British slang to take the piss out of someone. 206 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Right. And then we have, it's so important when you're trying to invite the pressure in modern world football. 207 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000 And Kinski can do this. That's right. 208 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:49,000 So to invite the pressure means to deliberately allowing the opposite team to press aggressively. 209 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:58,000 You kind of provoke the team. You poke the bear. You want the opposite opposing team to press you. 210 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,000 Because this is a way for you to create space for a counter attack. 211 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,000 It's part of modern football. You invite the pressure. That's why you play it out from the back. 212 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:20,000 You take advantage of the quality of your defenders and the goalkeeper, the fact that they can pass it around with ease and with precision. 213 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:28,000 And this will obviously create space because there will be a lot of players on your half. 214 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:37,000 And that means hopefully you're attacking players. Once the game switches to them, you will be able to capitalize on that. 215 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:43,000 Alright. And finally, I said, so you think he will start as number one from the get-go? 216 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000 This is a question I asked. What does the get-go mean? Or from the get-go actually? 217 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000 It means from the beginning. So he's just signed for Tottenham. He's new at the team, at the club. 218 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:03,000 And will he start from the get-go? Will he start as the first choice goalkeeper from the beginning? 219 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Well, I hope so. We will see. We will see. 220 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Alright, listeners, that's it for today. Thank you very much for listening. 221 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,000 Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience of not being able to publish this episode on my YouTube channel. 222 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:28,000 And if you want to support the Footgrish Podcast, why don't you write a review on Apple Podcasts or give this a five-star rating on Spotify? 223 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:48,000 This would go a long way. Thank you very much and I'll speak to you soon. Cheers. Bye bye.
