Learn English Through Football Podcast: Go Clear
In this week's Learn English Through Football podcast we look at the phrase, 'go clear' when describing a team doing well in a match or in the league. We also look ahead to this weekend's football, including a London
derby: Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea. You can read the transcript for this podcast below, while you can also check out our glossary of footballing phrases
here and visit our site to access all our previous posts and

Hello
DB: You are listening to the Learn English Through Football Podcast.
Welcome everyone to this week's Learn English Through Football Podcast. The podcast for learners of English who love the
beautiful game of football. My name is Damon and I am based in Tokyo, Japan. At the moment, the skies are grey and there's a bit of rain, but that's all good for my plants on the balcony! How about where you are? And how about in London where the other member of the Learn English Through Football team, Damian, is based? Damian, how are you doing?
DF: Hi Damon and hello to everyone listening - I hope you are all doing well. Well, the wether here in London is wet and windy but that's okay as we were still able to play football this morning - I can't remember the result though!
How is your football team doing? How did they get on this week? My favourite team Tottenham, they played in the Carabao Cup against the holders Newcastle and they were beaten two-nil. I think Damon's team Liverpool also went out of that competition - maybe because we are both looking at bigger ones!
Now listener, remember that you can access all our posts at our new website address, which is now
learnenglishthroughfootball.com. If you like what we do here, we’d love it if you could share it with your friends and give us 'likes' or 'ratings' on your favourite podcast platform!
Stinger: You are listening to languagecaster.com (from a Dulwich Hamlet fan)
DB: Thank you for that message, which was from a fan of Dulwich Hamlet and which mentioned our old name, Languagecaster.com. Why don't you send in a stinger, a message like that, saying your name, which team you support, and 'You are listening to Learn English Through Football.com' in English or your language, so we can update our messages. It would be great to hear from you. Just record an audio and send it to contact@learnenglishthroughfootball.com.
We will have more stingers or messages throughout the show in different languages - try and guess what they are. We'll let you know what they are at the end of the show.
Stinger: You are listening to languagecaster.com (in Chinese)
DF: Right, on today's show we are going to look at the phrase 'to go clear' or 'to go clear at the top'. We will also hear from Damon in our predictions section when he will be looking at the Tottenham versus Chelsea game from the Premier League. I will then be explaining a
football cliche based on that game.
