welcome to the Two Robby's podcast with me Robbie Mustow and him Robbie Earl

0:18.0

and we're here to talk football.

0:20.0

Premier League football and we've just witnessed match week 25 in England's

0:24.4

Premier League and so many stories so many things to talk about. We will talk about

0:28.6

games at Everton, at Cardiff, at Man United at Chelsea. But let's start Robier with the title race and there's three teams in it.

0:37.8

Certainly after this weekend of games. But the biggest game, the eye-catching game in this match week was always going to be at the Etiad.

0:45.8

Manchester City versus Arsenal. We expected a reaction from City after their last shocking defeat

0:51.0

against Newcastle United. We did get a reaction and we got Manchester

who in fairness had a go and I thought the like Gendousine Terera showed signs that they could be, you know, really good players for
