Hamburg. getting beaten by paderborn.
9:55 may want to recheck who won that world cup, because it wasn't France.
Imagine thinking Kyle Walker was England's best player in the final. 🥴
tea bagging Arnold is not a good luck, Grelish change that game on his own would have finished 1.0 without him have you heard the saying, credit where credits due. your anti City rhetoric is clear to see.
The anti City biases is strong with this bunch of bitter clowns

That sounds exciting! I've just begun dabbling in sports betting myself, and I've even taken advantage of promo codes from Melbet https://promocodemelbet.com/ and on the https://promocode1xbet.net/ website. However, lacking analysis skills, my betting outcomes are infrequently favorable, resulting in more losses than wins. Consequently, I'm seeking expert predictions from external sources to enhance my performance. I'm hopeful that your insights will be beneficial for me.

the w*** fest over klipperty made a bit of sick come up
Rashford has always been poor to average don't understand the love in.
rejoin ? last time, I looked city were never out of it.
great tribute to a great man but come on BBC, could have edited the news bulletin out of it!
what have you done to the Saturday football daily? its gone from national to Premier league. it is now awful. please return to the old format of going around the grounds with the commentators telling you about the games. it's really poor.
this has been the worst Saturday football show. no music, no headlines, a real disappointment. I really enjoy this podcast but this was more like the Sunday show. a truly awful episode.
