Learn English Through Football Podcast: 2019-20 Final Day of the Season Introduction DF: You are listening to languagecaster.com. Hello everyone, we hope you are all safe and well and welcome to the podcast for fans of football who wish to improve their English language skills. My name’s Damian and I’m based in a cloudy but dry London the day after the final fixtures of the Premier League season. Now, I wonder what the weather is like in Tokyo for Damon? DB: Well, it’s a bit boring here. We’ve had rain, rain, rain for the past two months it seems. It’s not too heavy in Tokyo but further west in the country they are really suffering from flooding. So, not the best weather, but there’s always been the football to take our minds of things. What have you seen this week? DF: I’ve seen a lot of football this week including the Liverpool win over Chelsea, West Ham’s draw away at Manchester United, which my Hammers-supporting brother enjoyed, Aston Villa’s victory over Arsenal and also some drama from the final day of the Championship – West Brom won direct promotion to next season’s Premier League, while Brentford, Fulham, Swansea and Cardiff all made the play-offs. I also watched games from the final game of the season in the Premier League – I saw Spurs finishing 6th after drawing with Crystal Palace, while I also had one eye on the relegation battle involving games with Aston Villa, Watford and Bournemouth. DB: Yes, the final day certainly shaped up to be interesting at the top and bottom of the table in the Premier League and elsewhere.
