Welcome everybody to the Siltman News Podcast episode 3 of the season.

My name is Alex Reid, I'm your host tonight and with me tonight it's Matt Todd.

0:11

How are you doing Matt?

M

Very well.

M

0:13

Hi everybody listening, thank you for joining us again.

M

0:15

Thank you for hosting Alex.

M

0:17

You're going to guide us through this nice and smoothly.

0:20

Yes, hopefully.

0:21

And yeah, I can't lie.

0:24

I'm feeling worse this time.

0:25

But that's what bad football results does to you, isn't it? Because we've actually not won a game since last time we recorded, which is very different to the mood we were in last time we did an episode and we were top of the league.

0:37

But there you go.

0:38

That's life and that's football, I suppose.

M

0:41

Yeah, definitely, definitely.

M

0:42

A very different mood.

M

0:44

A season of two halves so far and all that.

M

0:46

Let's get as many clichés in as we can, eh?

0:48

Yes, exactly.

0:50

And yeah, let's start with an intro question then to warm us up.
