00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
You're listening to the Footglitch Podcast. Love football, learn English.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Wolframpton Wanderers nil, Arsenal won. How big is this win for Arsenal?

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Did Michael Oliver make a mistake by sending off Lewis Scully or is this red card justified?

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Is Arsenal still in the title race? And what does the word emerging mean?

5
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of the Footglitch Podcast.

6
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:01,000
My name is Denek Lukas and I'm your host. I'm an English teacher and the Footglitch Podcast is a podcast about football.

7
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Yes, you guessed it. And it's for learners of English.

8
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
And you might be wondering what the hell is Denek? What's all this background noise?

9
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Well, I'm in Vietnam and I'm walking because I've just seen the Arsenal-Wolves game which Arsenal managed to win 1-0.

10
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And I've just seen it with my friend Nrup, who you may have seen on this podcast before or heard on this podcast before.

11
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Nrup, what are you doing in Vietnam, man?

12
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Oh no, I just teleported, mate. I'm sorry, guys. I just woke up and I'm like, OK, I'm in Vietnam.

13
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
And guess what? What I should do? I should be meeting someone who's called Denek.

14
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
But yeah, I am in Vietnam, surprisingly, and in the same city where Denek lives, that is Da Nang.

15
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
That is right.

16
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I'm over here for vacation with my family and luckily I was able to have Da Nang among my travel destinations.

17
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And the moment I found it out, I immediately texted Denek. I'm like, look, I'm coming to Da Nang. Let's meet.

18
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Because it's been lots of years.

19
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
It's been like two years, mate.

20
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Maybe two and a half years since I saw you last time.

21
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So obviously we have been friends for a while.

22
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
But also you have featured a lot on my YouTube channel.

23
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
We do another show called Heroes of the Week and we do it every Monday now.

24
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So you guys can watch it. It's actually not this podcast. It's a different thing.

25
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
And we do it with Nrup. But Nrup has also been on this podcast before a few times to talk about Arsenal.

26
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
You're actually wearing Arsenal shirts. So what's this one? Describe your Arsenal shirt.

27
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Well, the Arsenal shirt that I'm wearing is the third kit from last season.

28
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
I got it because it was our first UCL season in years.

29
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
So it meant a lot to me and it looks really good. So I wore that.

30
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And also I wanted to because I was eventually planning to meet you.

31
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
So, you know, as an Arsenal fan, I think it would be like friendship goals to wear the same club together

32
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
and walk around, hang around, probably watch a match, which we just did.

33
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I think we are quite lucky to actually have a match because I know you have your itinerary with your family here.

34
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And so you get to see different cities and you travel around a lot and do a lot of sightseeing.

35
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So it's actually kind of nice that you managed to squeeze in this game, even though we're going to talk about this game,

36
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000
because I think that's what our listeners are interested in the most, even though we have to say this game was quite mad.

37
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Right. It was mad. I mean, I mean, apart from us meeting and us watching the game together in a country, Vietnam,

38
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
you know, not Czech Republic, not India, not UK, but Vietnam.

39
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Yeah. I mean, what more? What more can they get?

40
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
So we ended up watching a football game together in Vietnam in a Vietnamese sort of commentary restaurant.

41
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Was it like a restaurant? Yeah, it was a Vietnamese restaurant that was that.

42
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And we made we requested the restaurant to to stream the game for us because there was a big screen.

43
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Exactly. And I knew this place.

44
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
I was I was hoping it would still be there, the screen, because last time I went there was like seven months ago.

45
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
And things happen quickly here in Vietnam. It's a fast developing country.

46
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000
And specifically here in Da Nang, like you have like things built so quickly.

47
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
They are literally mushrooming these places.

48
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So sometimes it disappears and something else is created instead.

49
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
You know, so I was lucky I was happy to to see that it still was there, this place.

50
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
And we we were a little bit late. I think we were 10 minutes late.

51
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
We were. But I think it's OK.

52
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Like, you know, we were able to have some small little adventure for 10 minutes.

53
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And then, yeah, we finally were able to stream the game and we were watching it.

54
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,000
And here we are after the game, talking about the game that happened on the Footgrish podcast.

55
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
On the Footgrish podcast. Exactly. So what what did you make of the game then?

56
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
So we won one nil, one nil to the Arsenal. That's the classic line, right?

57
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Yeah, it was. It was a classic Arsenal win. We didn't score much goals.

58
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
We had a nice clean shit. But but that was a wild game. Why?

59
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Because we had two incidents, two key incidents that probably changed the whole game.

60
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Absolutely. And those two incidents were based on two cards.

61
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000
And both cards were the same color. And the color is was the color of Arsenal.

62
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,000
I like the way you are building it up, Nrup. Do you have a script for that?

63
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Or is it just coming from you? Are you improvising?

64
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
I am. It's just Peter Drury's ghost is haunting me.

65
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Have you been boosted by the Vietnamese Bee a little bit?

66
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
I've been blessed by Peter Drury for a while. If the listeners know who is he,

67
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
he's one of the elite commentators of the game. You guys should listen to him.

68
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
He speaks beautiful English, beautiful commentary and almost poetic

69
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
to the point where it sounds like mythological. But anyway, getting to getting to that.

70
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Two red cards. So the first one was Arsenal red card.

71
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
It was one of our youngsters, right? It was.

72
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000
It was unfortunately are one of the emerging youngsters, Miles Lewis Kelly.

73
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:21,000
An Academy graduate. But that that red card, I thought, was a referee mistake,

74
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
in my opinion. It should have been a yellow because I don't know how to describe it.

75
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
But basically there was a counter attack from Wolves.

76
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,000
And yes, he kicked. Scully kicked the Wolves player who was like approaching the goal,

77
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
but he was in their own half. And there were other players who were in front of him.

78
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Other Arsenal players. And he wasn't even the last defender, basically.

79
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Yeah, he wasn't even the last. And it wasn't even a goal scoring opportunity.

80
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Absolutely. So like this means that the ref thought that this was a violent conduct.

81
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But there was no way if you looked at the replays, there was no this was no way

82
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,000
a violent conduct, in my opinion. It was it was violent, but it wasn't a red offense.

83
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
I mean, I mean, who was a ref, you know? Tell me who was a ref.

84
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
The name speaks it. Mike Oliver, right? Simple. Yeah.

85
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I mean, it's our common hero of the week. Right.

86
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
We always not always, but he has been a villain of the week at least once.

87
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Yeah, he is. He's he's our special customer.

88
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Basically, we love him. We always welcome him.

89
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,000
He always gives us some nice gifts in the form of cards. But.

90
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
But actually, we had to be careful listeners in the middle of the road,

91
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
recording the Footgrish podcast and we had in Vietnam a lot of motorbikes everywhere.

92
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000
So thankfully, we are alive. But moving on. Yeah, moving on.

93
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,000
So, yeah, he gave a red card to something that was supposed to be yellow.

94
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
It was a straight red. It was a straight red, apparently.

95
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
So that player will be also suspended for I think, is it how many games? At least two.

96
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Two games, right? Or something. Let's see.

97
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Let's see. It all depends on if we appeal for it or not.

98
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Well, most likely there is a very little chance for us to get our appeal back.

99
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I don't think we win an appeal. But anyway.

100
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
The thing is, I think the ref was a bit guilty because then in the second half,

101
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
he also showed a red to a Wolves player. Well, he actually showed a yellow,

102
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
which in turn became a red because it was a second. It was a second.

103
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
But that one to me looked like a red. Exactly.

104
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000
I was waiting for VAR to change it to red. He had already gone to the showers.

105
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I was telling you, remember, I was telling you in the pub, Nrup,

106
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I think they're going to ask that player to come back from the showers and to see that red card.

107
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
I was waiting for that funny moment, but I guess he just wants to embarrass Arsenal and no one else.

108
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Exactly. Yeah, well, we all know the target.

109
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000
But anyway, second yellow to Wolves player, he was sent off.

110
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And we were back to equal number of players and equal amount of strategies.

111
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000
It was hard because, of course, we played for so long down to 10 men.

112
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
And we I don't know how about you, but I didn't see us winning that game at that point

113
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
because we seemed a bit knackered. We did.

114
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000
I mean, we haven't been at our best. We haven't been really scoring many goals lately.

115
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
We haven't had the best players as well. So we don't have the best combination.

116
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
The players are injured like sucker. I didn't know where the goal would come from, especially down to 10 men.

117
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Exactly. I was expecting a penalty or probably a corner goal from Gabriel.

118
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
We always do. Yeah, we always do.

119
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
But basically, this really helped us, right? This this changed the dynamic of the game.

120
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Absolutely. And I was really positive the moment we got the red card.

121
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
The moment Wolves got red card, I was really positive.

122
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
I'm like, OK, this is the best opportunity for us to score. And guess what? We just did.

123
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
We did like soon after that. Soon after that.

124
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
So who was our goal scorer? It was our Italian champion.

125
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Calafiori. Calafiori. Was it his first goal? I don't think so.

126
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
It was definitely more than one goal, but he doesn't always score.

127
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
So he's like a score. He scored a very important goal for us.

128
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000
And especially in a time where our attack hasn't been at its best or even good enough.

129
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
It's always usually defenders who have been saving our jobs.

130
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Exactly. So that's, you know, it's it makes this podcast recording obviously nicer for us.

131
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000
We would have probably recorded something even if it had been a draw.

132
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,000
But to be fair, it's more fun, right? It is like when the team you support wins.

133
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Yeah. And, you know, especially when we meet each other in such area, in such event and we watch it together.

134
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:53,000
We would always like everything's to happen in a good way. So all's well that ends well.

135
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Basically, we know each other from the Czech Republic because you were studying there.

136
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Exactly. I don't know, three, four, five years ago.

137
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
So that's when that's when we used to watch some games as well, some Arsenal games.

138
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:11,000
But it's been a while since we did that. And we do talk about football a lot online and on the YouTube channel, as I said.

139
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,000
But it's not the same. It's nice to finally get the chance to watch a game like that together.

140
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Not the best game, to be honest. It might have been nicer if it was like Liverpool, Chelsea, one of those bigger clubs.

141
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
It was Wolves. But at least at least there was some drama in the game, right?

142
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
I agree with you. It wasn't one of those blockbuster games, but it was one of those games where if you look at the current situation,

143
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000
we weren't expecting Arsenal to thrash them or get an easy win.

144
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000
We were expecting Arsenal to somehow manage through it. And that's what happened.

145
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,000
And we are happy with it because we move on. We take all the points. We take clean sheet.

146
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Unfortunately, we lose a player, but we move on to the next game.

147
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Exactly. Yeah, so great, great stuff.

148
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Now, unfortunately, Liverpool won 4-1 against Ipswich at home.

149
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:12,000
So that didn't help us. Liverpool are still top of the league and they look like they are very comfortable at the moment.

150
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,000
They are. I mean, not only just the points, even the goal differences, if you look at it,

151
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
you know, that's another mountain to climb because we need to score lots of goals.

152
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
We have been one of the better teams or one of the best teams when it comes to defence,

153
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
considering the amount of goals that we are considered, but we need to catch up with the points.

154
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
We need to catch up with the goal difference. And I don't think it's helping us.

155
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:40,000
We need players that can immediately score lots of goals so that we can manage to catch up with the goal differences,

156
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,000
to put on pressure on Liverpool. And this pressure might cause Liverpool to actually drop more points.

157
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,000
But again, we are still early or halfway or, you know, it's still halfway middle, halfway in the league.

158
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
So there's lots to cover. Anything can happen until the last day. Absolutely.

159
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
So I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, me too. The game is, the race is still on.

160
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Yeah, the race is on. Very, very well said.

161
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
I think we were also checking, as we were watching the game, we were checking the other results on a live score app, right?

162
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:20,000
And one thing that really stood out for me there, one thing that struck me was the way Bournemouth had been dominating

163
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Nottingham Forest because that game ended 5-0. That's mad. I mean, Bournemouth.

164
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
I mean, first of all, what was Forest's position? They were what, fourth, fifth?

165
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
So they were already one of the better teams. They were in a certain place at some point. Exactly.

166
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And I mean, Bournemouth, on the other hand, they are a powerful force,

167
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:49,000
but they were definitely one of those teams that will fall eventually soon because they have been a relegation battle team.

168
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,000
And for them to reach top six is a huge achievement. And for them to beat Forest 5-0.

169
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
It's incredible. And now they are above Manchester City. I know they have one game in hand.

170
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
They're probably not going to win it with their current form.

171
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
So I cannot believe it, like how well this team has been playing Bournemouth.

172
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
I mean, pressure is on City because City is going to face Chelsea.

173
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
So, you know, it's actually pressure on both the teams because Bournemouth and Forest,

174
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
they're right behind or right above City and Chelsea.

175
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
So they are slowly poking them like, yo, we need some space. Move on.

176
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Is that how they are saying it? Maybe.

177
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Who knows? Who knows? Who knows?

178
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
OK, well, that's incredible. That's fantastic, man.

179
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,000
I don't know what to say, but I think this year, the Premier League is just so much fun.

180
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:51,000
I'm really having a lot of fun, despite the fact that my team is not top of the league.

181
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,000
It's been fun. We also have one more Czech player in the Premier League, Anton Jinkinski,

182
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
playing for a struggling Tottenham team.

183
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000
You know Tottenham is going to face Manchester United soon. Is it this week or next week?

184
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
I'm not sure about that. I heard this game is coming.

185
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000
But do you think... Those are the two teams, like you wouldn't guess at all that they would be so low,

186
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
so down in the dumps.

187
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Yeah. I mean, do you think he's going to play against United or do you think it's going to be on a nice day?

188
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I don't know, man, but United and Spurs, they're just...

189
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
I think if you are a United or Spurs fan, you don't want to come out.

190
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
You just want to hide somewhere in the shadows.

191
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Absolutely. I mean, you know, sometime during the half time or before that, we had a talk with the Vietnamese

192
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
and he happened to be a United fan.

193
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
We could see some embarrassment that, you know, he was...

194
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
He was in his face and he didn't want to talk to us anymore.

195
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
He did not. And he wanted to just hide his face.

196
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
But yeah, well, it's tough. We have been there.

197
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
If we had been there, it could happen to us next year.

198
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
So we are trying to... Obviously, we are enjoying the moments.

199
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Like we will not pretend we are enjoying this.

200
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
But at the same time, let's not go overboard with that.

201
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Yeah, let's be humble, eh?

202
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Let's stay humble.

203
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
That is a reference to what Haaland said to Arteta.

204
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:21,000
And since he said that Manchester City has lost almost every single game they played.

205
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Manchester is falling, mate. Manchester is falling.

206
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Well, but Haaland now signed a nine year contract, right?

207
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Do you mean 115 months?

208
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Because that's what it seemed like.

209
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
That's what they said, like, because it's nine and a half years,

210
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
which equals to 115 months.

211
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
So it was quite ironic.

212
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
115 months? I can't even imagine that.

213
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So many people were making fun of it.

214
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Because, you know, 10 years means 120 months.

215
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Why didn't he sign for 10 years? Why did it have to be nine and a half then?

216
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
That's the thing. It's either an FV or it's either mocking the board.

217
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Yeah, but it's special. They really believe in this play, don't they?

218
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Well, I don't think so.

219
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Why do they do that then?

220
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Because I think it's more marketing and more economic stuff to avoid FFP situation.

221
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
What is FFP? Explain it to our listeners. FFP.

222
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
It stands for financial fair play.

223
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,000
It's basically to avoid clubs overspending and over-exploiting the league using money.

224
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Like a lot of clubs have done in the past.

225
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Definitely.

226
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And now they are maybe facing some repercussions.

227
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
But they're just facing it as in like...

228
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
We don't know if...

229
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
They're looking at it. They won't be...

230
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
We don't know if they will be actually found guilty.

231
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Exactly.

232
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
But some teams have been found guilty and their points have been deducted.

233
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Was it Everton, I think?

234
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
It was.

235
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
It's Leicester and more.

236
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Unfortunately, teams have been affected by it, but in the eyes of law, everyone should be equal.

237
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Even the bigger teams, even the teams that have a lot of power behind them.

238
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
So we are hoping that justice will be done even to Manchester City.

239
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
And Chelsea and other teams, if possible.

240
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
That is true. Chelsea too, yeah.

241
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Getting back to the game, I mean, I'm really happy with it.

242
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
1-0, two red cards.

243
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Yeah, me too.

244
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Two red cards.

245
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Watching the game together, alone.

246
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Good stuff, man.

247
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
We were probably the only two arsehole guys watching it.

248
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,000
And probably...

249
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000
To be honest, we were almost the only two people in that restaurant.

250
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Yeah.

251
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Yeah, but it was fun.

252
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Thank you very much for visiting me and talking to me on the podcast.

253
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Even though there is some background noise today, I hope you guys appreciate it.

254
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
It's not the first time I've done this.

255
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
There's no video.

256
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
I've recorded one with Kyrylo after the Czech Republic-Ukraine game, like that.

257
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I think these episodes are special because they give you some sort of extra...

258
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
It gives you rawness to the episode.

259
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
It's a different feel, right? More authenticity.

260
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Yeah, there's more rawness in the episode.

261
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
And podcasts don't have to be always inside doors.

262
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000
It can be in other places.

263
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Definitely not in the clubs or in those super noisy places, but...

264
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Exactly.

265
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,000
In simple words, this is one of those interesting themes that you can use for podcasts.

266
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Exactly. Wonderful.

267
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
I've been happy. I am really glad to see you again, mate.

268
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Yeah, good stuff, good stuff.

269
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
And hope to bump into you in many other parts of the world.

270
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
And hoping to have a nice world tour, potentially, if possible.

271
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
We'll see about that.

272
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000
But yeah, like I said, thank you very much for coming on, as always.

273
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And if you want to hear more of Noob, why don't you tune in for the Heroes of the Week YouTube show that we record every Monday.

274
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,000
I don't know if we're gonna do it.

275
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
I think this Monday, probably, because you are traveling.

276
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
It won't happen, but maybe Monday after.

277
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
We will see if you have time.

278
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
All right. Thank you guys for listening.

279
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
And until next time, bye.

280
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Bye bye. Good night.

281
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Bye.

282
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Okay, man. Thanks.

283
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Have fun, huh?

284
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000
I hope it works.

285
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
This app is really cool because it has lots of.

286
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Welcome back to the language corner.

287
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:20,000
In this part of the show, as always, I'm going to teach you something because I'm an English teacher.

288
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
And the Footglish podcast has this as its tradition.

289
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
And that's why it's called the Footglish podcast, right?

290
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Football, English.

291
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
There must be some English.

292
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
So I assume you guys are English learners.

293
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
And that's who this podcast is for.

294
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,000
OK, so today I'm going to look at one interesting word.

295
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
This is what Noob said.

296
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,000
One of the emerging youngsters, Myles Lewis Skelly, right?

297
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He got the red card against Wolves.

298
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
And I like the word emerging, which is a verb to emerge.

299
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Here it's used in its participle form emerging, right?

300
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
And yeah, I would like to explain this word now.

301
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
So what does it mean to emerge?

302
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Well, the first meaning is to move out of or away from something and then basically coming into view.

303
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Right. So let's say you are somewhere on the beach and then you see a shark emerging from from the water.

304
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Right. It emerges. It's coming out into view.

305
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
You can see it suddenly.

306
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,000
But this word is also used a bit more metaphorically, especially when you talk about football players.

307
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:50,000
If you're an emerging youngster, as Noob said, Lewis Skelly, I think he's only 18 years old, then it means you are becoming prominent.

308
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:57,000
You are growing and developing and suddenly showing a lot of potential.

309
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And you are starting to gain recognition from people or from the media.

310
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,000
There are some sort of there's some synonyms that I could give you.

311
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:14,000
For instance, you could say someone is an up and coming star or up and coming youngster.

312
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Of course, you can say a rising football star.

313
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
A star that is rising is going up. Right.

314
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
It's showing progression and is developing fast.

315
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
You can say an aspiring prodigy.

316
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
But that's a nice sort of phrase.

317
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
And then I think everybody knows the word wonder kid, a wonder kid.

318
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:43,000
But that also includes the idea that that player has a lot of skill.

319
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
He often is a technically gifted player.

320
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:53,000
For example, Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen is a wonder kid. Right.

321
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
OK, so emerging.

322
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Let's hope this podcast is an emerging podcast that it's going to show some more signs of promise in the future.

323
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
It's still very young.

324
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
And obviously, that's why I'm always asking you for your support.

325
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,000
This is something that has to be done on this podcast.

326
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:24,000
So, yes, this particular podcast, because I recorded it with Nrub outside, there is no video.

327
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
So I'm still going to upload it on my YouTube channel.

328
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And it would be wonderful if you could give this audio a like.

329
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,000
It would mean a world to me if you could give this audio a like or even leave a comment.

330
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:48,000
And if you're listening to this on your podcasting application as an audio, then what you could do is you could leave a review,

331
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:56,000
whether it's Spotify or Apple Podcasts, just just give this podcast five stars and it should take you about five seconds.

332
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Right. And it will make a difference.

333
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Thank you very much, everyone, for listening. And I will speak to you soon.

334
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Take care. Bye bye.
