| 0:00.0 | Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking, |
| 0:05.2 | I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to |
| 0:10.4 | spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month |
| 0:17.2 | of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month. |
| 0:23.1 | That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get |
| 0:28.1 | the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it. |

| 1:24.9 | one of our rare domestics about Rubialis, |
| 1:28.0 | although it was a semi-domestic, I'd say. You know, it was a kind of quasi-domestic. No doors were |
| 1:33.1 | slammed or ceramics broken. I think I'm going to give you the home win on that match, I think. |
| 1:39.3 | Well, the VAR will have to check that one out. |
| 1:43.4 | What are we going to call this week's episode? |
| 1:46.2 | Grant Five Jobs Chaps. |
