The Match Ball.

Dan Moylan· Host0:11

[upbeat music] Hello there, welcome to the Match Ball from our sad little pit of despair, near Wembley Stadium. We're in the, uh, in the Premier Inn. Four men gathered in a room to mourn the FA Cup semi-final. Uh, Leeds 0, Chelsea 1. Uh, this show is brought to you by Levi Solicitors, of course. Michael.

Michael· Host0:31

Um, yeah. Yeah, they've got- they've got an office in London. But, um, I've never come in here again, so- [laughs] Wills though. All good.

Dan Moylan· Host0:36

They sound good.

Michael· Host0:37

Yeah, wills. Yeah, get- get mine sorted.

Dan Moylan· Host0:39

Uh, yeah, there's 10% discount on your legal fees on their full range of services, including wills, probate, and conveyancing, all that. Uh, full details and terms on the website. Yeah, four of us here. Uh, Dan, Michael, Rob, and Dean. Uh, straight from Wembley Stadium. Uh, the game finished, what? Uh, less than an hour ago. Um, thoughts on that one? Disappointing, wasn't it? But at least we gave it a go in the second half.

Speaker 01:01

This is bleaker than I expected.

Dan Moylan· Host1:03

Is it?

Speaker 01:03

Just standing next to each of you- Standing ... in a Premier Inn. This is sadder than I was hoping for. Everyone was full of excitement and joy about two hours ago, two and a half hours ago.

Dan Moylan· Host1:12

Mm.

Speaker 01:12

And yeah, this is a bit grim.

Michael· Host1:13

Yeah, the last time we were in this room, everyone was very excited. Um, everyone was less croaky 'cause we'd not shouted at Jarred Gillett just yet.

Dan Moylan· Host1:21

Mm.

Michael· Host1:21

But, uh, yeah, it- it's very improbable that we would've been to Wembley so many times and have not scored. It's so, it's so statistically unlikely.
