Welcome back to this week's off the bench podcast from the Premier League. I'm Janie Batici.

0:22.1

And I'm Sam from a field family. Hey Sam. It's now been three blanks in a row for Erling

0:27.7

Harland. As Salah continues to put his hand up as the premium, we should perhaps be captain in each week.

0:32.2

I mean, overall, it was a low-scoring game week. An average of 36 points. Was it a green or red for you? Oh, Gianni. It was one of

0:40.4

those weeks, wasn't it, where I thought it was actually in quite a nice position, even with the

1:37.6

It was a bad Sunday for me too.

1:39.6

I was fortunate that my Monday night was really good.
