Hello football fans, and welcome back to the Ultimate Football Heroes Podcast. Issy the shot stopper is here, and George is back on the mic despite hobbling around with his sore hamstring. Nothing stops a true football hero, and we have an exciting episode ahead.

Match Predictions Recap

Last week we predicted Everton v Arsenal in the WSL and Sunderland v Newcastle in the Premier League. We both got the Arsenal result right, but neither of us expected Sunderland to pull off a huge derby win. That means one point each on the leaderboard, with George still just ahead. For now.

Derby Day Drama

The Tyne–Wear Derby did not disappoint. Sunderland grabbed their first Premier League win over Newcastle in more than ten years. The atmosphere was electric, the fans created an incredible display in the stands, and the home side produced a massive moment for their season.

Listener Voice Note

This week we hear from Alex, aged eight. A brilliant striker with an eye for goal, Alex talks about playing up front and shares his football hero, Leah Williamson. George explains the magic of scoring, while Issy argues that nothing beats the feeling of a big save. Thank you Alex for sending that in.

Guess the Player

It is time for six clues and one mystery. We give you hints about a superstar goalkeeper who has won major awards, kept record-breaking clean sheets, and shone on the world stage. Did you work out who it was before the break? After the adverts, we reveal the answer and celebrate one of the best keepers on the planet.

Predictions for Next Week

Our new fixtures to predict are Everton v Arsenal in the Premier League and Sunderland v Ipswich in the WSL Cup. George backs Arsenal two one and Sunderland two one, while Issy goes three one Arsenal and a dramatic two two draw with Sunderland winning on penalties. What do you think will happen?

Thank You for Listening

A huge thank you to Alex for his voice note and to all of you for tuning in. Keep practising, keep playing, and keep dreaming big. We will see you next week for another episode of the Ultimate Football Heroes Podcast.
