| 1:24.6 | Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. A rare chance to do some Europa League as a few games migrated to Wednesday night. And just search for a first win as Forest Manager continues, but a two-all draw in Bettis isn't a bad way to start a campaign. Two goals for Igor Jesus. Has Anged Jettison, New Zealand's finest already. Celtic draw won all in Belgrade. If you can guess both scorers in this game, give yourself a biscuit. |
| 2:02.2 | In the Carabal, straightforward wins for the Premier League sides. Find out how many of Emil Hesky's sons came on for Manchester City in their win at Huddersfield. There's a Premier League preview, unbeaten leaders Liverpool, go to the only other side yet to suffer a defeat in Crystal Palace, while Newcastle Arsenal is perhaps the pick of the games. We'll ask if a 64 Team World Cup is as terrible idea as it sounds, |
| 2:04.1 | catch up on the start of the WSL season, |

| 2:41.1 | Naturally, they'd have taken a point before the game, but I think they were pretty disappointed. |
| 2:45.0 | You could see that at the end. They were absolutely brilliant in that first half. They really were. Yeah, I know they went behind quite early. And there was a bit of talk beforehand about Chris Wood not playing. You think, oh, is it not a game for him, given what he's done? But Igor Jesus scored a couple of goals. And what does he cost? 10 million quid from Botafego. He scored two versus Swansea last week, two last night. I think he's putting Chris |
| 3:09.2 | Wood under pressure. They probably should, wait, they should have scored a third in that first half, |
| 3:15.7 | right? Hudson Adoy and Jesus managed to miss from about a yard out between them. I'm not sure |
