Learn English Through Football Podcast 2019-20: Week 2 – Manchester City vs Tottenham
Introduction
DF: You are listening to
languagecaster.com’s football-language podcast. Hello everyone and welcome to the
Learn English Through Football podcast; a podcast for all those who love the
beautiful game of football and who are aiming to improve their English language skills. My name’s Damian and I’m in a rather grey and miserable London – it’s Sunday morning and as a Spurs fan I am feeling quite happy after an away point at champions Manchester City in yesterday’s game – more about that later in our football review. I’m also a little nervous as my county in Ireland are playing in the All-Ireland
Hurling final today in Dublin so hopefully Tipperary can win that one. Now across the other side of the world is Damon in Tokyo – how are things Damon?
DB: Hi Damian. Things are good here. As for the weather, still hot and humid. By the way, have you, by any chance, listened to the excellent radio, or podcast show from the BBC called the Word Football Phone In this week?
DF: I did catch it, I did, yeah!
