0:02.0	Debbie was in a bit of a pickle.
0:13.0	A crisp and gurkin sandwiches just weren't selling.
0:17.0	Until she had the good idea to use Canva to design her logo, menus and social posts.

0:47.6	Hello and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly, one of those rare podcasts which Manchester

1:57.8	Steven says, no question.
1:58.9	I just wanted to say it's nice as a Manchester United fan to actually look forward to the pod of the Liverpool away.
2:05.1	Two wins in a row for the first time in the league for Ruben Amaran.
2:08.1	Their first away wins since March.
