| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the two Robbie's podcast, your destination for in-depth discussion, |
| 0:17.1 | analysis of the Premier League. I'm Robbie Musto. He's normally Robbill, but not |
| 0:21.6 | today, being joined by special guest hostos and very good friend Danny Higginbotham. Here |
| 0:26.3 | are today's topics. Another game, another come from behind victory for Aston Villa, as |
| 0:31.3 | Olly Watkins comes off the bench to rescue four three points in a two-one win against Chelsea. Ryan |
| 0:36.8 | Shirke's late stunner at Nottingham Forest keeps Pep's men's afoot in the title race and extends City's win streak to eight in all competitions. And Arsenal hold their nerve and rely on a brilliant David Ryers save and a 2-1 win against Brighton, keeping their margins at the top of the table very narrow. That's what we are coming up in today's episode. All right, Danny, |
| 0:56.2 | welcome into the show, mate. Thanks for popping in. Always good to catch up. Lots of things again this |
| 1:01.3 | weekend and we're kind of getting towards a halfway point in the season. Be good, good have a chat |

| 1:39.7 | Like, that's not what you're about. |
| 1:42.3 | You're not even competitive. |
| 1:44.0 | We keep seeing it, and sometimes they're drawing, sometimes they're losing, but we're seeing it all the time where the second half is very different.

| 2:01.4 | Chelsea were caught again. First question, is this a deliberate intention for an Unite Emery to conserve |
| 2:10.6 | energy to be very safe and solid with the thought of they might blow themselves out of steam |
