| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sky Sports Football Podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every now biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full-start, dead heat, and absolutely expected defeat is amazing. |
| 0:17.3 | From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport. Whatever the moment, it's never |
| 0:22.8 | ordinary at Bet 365. It's 30 years to the day since the first ball was kicked in the Premier |
| 0:29.1 | League and what an anniversary weekend we have to get our teeth into tonight. On Super |
| 0:34.3 | Sunday, Forrest got their first win, Chelsea and Spurs played out a thrilling two-two draw. And on Saturday, Manchester United were humiliated at Brentford. |
| 0:46.3 | 30 years of Premier League football, 30 years that have flown by in a league which continues to surprise us and deliver story after story, some of which will reflect on tonight with Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville. |
| 1:00.0 | And I'm sure that many people weren't expecting Liverpool to drop points on that opening weekend at Fulham. |
| 1:06.0 | Does that raise the stakes for Liverpool even at this early stage? |
| 1:09.0 | I mean, it's ridiculous to think that we're actually asking that question and having to answer it. |
| 1:12.9 | And of course, they will drop points. |
| 1:14.7 | But the problem is the standards that these two clubs have set in this last few years is absolutely ridiculous. |
| 1:20.8 | And we've got to a point whereby with these two, a draw feels like a defeat, |
| 1:25.2 | particularly if it comes against one of the teams that's going to be in the lower half of the table, we can just see there the average points 94.8. They only drop 19.2 points per season and average. And they don't drop many against the bottom half teams. So they've set that standard, but then they have to live by it. And that's why you're asking that question. It's why, I suppose, in some ways, |
| 1:44.8 | you know, Eurgen Klopp will need to get that victory tonight |
| 1:46.7 | to make sure that he doesn't sort of slip up twice on the bounce. |
| 1:49.4 | Just two points. Liverpool dropped all of last season |
| 1:51.8 | against bottom half size to put that in further context. |
| 1:55.3 | Jamie, they are missing some key players tonight. |
| 1:57.1 | How pleased I to see Darwin Nunez in from the start? Well I think everyone's being excited about when he's going to get his chance. |
| 2:02.6 | He's been sub in the first two games, if you, you know, |
| 2:04.4 | include the community shield, but he's |
| 2:06.6 | made a huge impact from the bench. |
