Let's raise the mood. Can you feel the Friday feeling?

0

41.687 - 50.58 Pete Donaldson

Well, I had to go to a locksmith's, Marcus, because I left my keys at his locksmith's yesterday and I couldn't drive my car home from there. From a car park.

72.284 - 74.587 David Cartlidge

Is there anything happening around that time, Max?

0

74.607 - 99.558 Marcus Speller

Yes, a lot of football fans are going to be fleeced in North America. And North London? Well, I hope not, because if you don't want to go and spend every single pound you've ever made in North America, there is something that you can do. You can stay closer to home and you can make your summer an absolute belter. You can secure your ticket for the Football Ramble World Cup. Watch along.

99.578 - 119.222 Marcus Speller

We're at 40 Foot Brewery in North London on Wednesday, 17th of June for England versus Croatia. We're over three quarters full for the tickets. They've already gone. So don't be a fool. But again, it's a sunny day. It's Friday. People are going to be like, I tell you what. Sign me up to that. Fancy a bit of that. I fancy some of the street food that's going.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with reflections on football management and player dynamics?

119.302 - 133.062 Marcus Speller

And when I say street food, I don't mean it's a Fox burger or something. You know what I mean. Good stuff. Some of the My Fizzy Ant will be flowing. The street beer. The street beer. And the street men and women in the street toilets. Straight out of the drains.

0

133.643 - 137.008 Pete Donaldson

After a few fizzy ants, everywhere's a street toilet.

136.988 - 151.551 Marcus Speller

Not according to the law. Right. Okay. So click the link in the show notes, grab yourself a ticket, and we'll seal you, and we'll see you for a big old easy on the 17th of June, providing England win, of course. Yes.

151.791 - 155.317 David Cartlidge

Well, I might even join in the easy. Oh!

155.337 - 169.241 Marcus Speller

DC. They are. DC's in the house. Jump, jump for joy. Right then, everybody. Let's move on to last night's action in the Europa League. Nottingham first, one Aston Villa nil. Good win for Forest. I think that was probably a fair victory, wouldn't you say, David?

169.481 - 178.478 David Cartlidge

I think so. Victor Pereira's tricky trees at it again. Yeah. Six clean sheets now. Well, he's got them going, hasn't he? Yeah. I think it's 10 or 11 goals without reply in the last few games as well.

179.019 - 180.883 Marcus Speller

Nine matches unbeaten in all competitions.

180.863 - 181.664 David Cartlidge

That's amazing.

182.105 - 190.219 Marcus Speller

Four wins in a row, including a semi-final first leg in the Europa League. Compared to what they were, he's got them going.
