| 0:00.0 | This is The Guardian. |
| 0:12.7 | Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. |
| 0:14.8 | Everyone now knows that Eric Dyer plays for Monaco. |
| 0:17.5 | A stray Nico Gonzalez boot meant the former spurs centreback could reprise his England-Columbia moment and slot home from the spot to deny City the win they should have really got. Arsenal are pretty comfortable winners over Olympiarkos and Newcastle are very comfortable winners at Union San Glois. PSG win late in Barcelona. There's that high line again. Other things we already knew like Yamin LeMalle is a lot of fun and Nuno Mendez is too. The best of the rest sees Rasmus Hoyland looking like an elite centre forward. It's just incredible how many players get good when they leave Old Trafford. We'll look ahead to a Premier League weekend, including Chelsea Liverpool and good at Setpeace Arsenal versus bad at defending Set Pieces West Hand. We have confirmation of a raft of Turkish listeners. We'll answer your questions. |
| 0:54.5 | And that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. |
| 1:03.4 | On the panel today, Barry Glenn Denning, hello. |
| 1:05.8 | Hi, Max. |
| 1:06.6 | From the racing post, Mark Langdon joins us. |
| 1:08.4 | Welcome, Mark. |
| 1:09.0 | Hi, Max. |
| 1:10.2 | And hello, Lyles Siviton. Hello, Max. Let's start then with Monaco, 2, Manchester City 2. I like the start of Will Unwin's match report, Barry. It had been a subdued night in Monaco with Manchester City sleepwalking to victory until Nico Gonzalez kicked Eric Dyer in the face in a failed attempt to defend a free kick. It's quite an accurate |
| 1:28.1 | reflection, I think. I mean, there's a bit of controversy. Not everyone thinks that's a penalty, |
| 1:32.3 | but it was quite the moment. Yeah, I don't see how it could be anything other than a penalty. |
| 1:38.7 | And I'm surprised with controversy. Pep Cardiola seems to have been quite miffed about it. But Erling Halland, when asked after |
| 1:48.1 | the game, what he thought, said, I didn't see what happened, but I suppose if you kick someone |
| 1:53.3 | in the face, it's probably a penalty. I'd be a subscriber to that view of Erlings. Yeah, I don't |
| 2:00.5 | think you can have any complaints. |
| 2:02.2 | I think I knew Eric Dyer had gone to Monaco but had forgotten and then was surprised to see him. |
| 2:09.8 | But he took his penalty very well. |
| 2:12.9 | I suppose, yes, Manchester City were sleeping, walking to victory. |
| 2:16.7 | They didn't play especially well against the team. |
| 2:20.2 | I think we all probably thought they'd beat fairly comfortably. |
