John Murray, Ian Dennis and Alistair Bruce-Ball return for another episode of Football Daily on BBC Sounds, as John and Ali debate Norwegian pronunciations following an on-air squabble. The team also shares its view on Man Utd ahead of Ali's commentary on their crunch game with Bournemouth.
The episode, broadcast on 23 October 2026 on Radio 5 Live and running 54 minutes, also touches on lighter topics. Listeners can hear which 5 Live Sport broadcasters would make good Traitors and Faithfuls, along with footballer rhyming slang, an unintended pub name and the Clash of the Commentators Norwegian special.
The programme previews a busy weekend of fixtures. On Saturday 24 October, Arsenal host Everton at 15:00, and Chelsea face Spurs at 17:30 on 5 Live. On Sunday 25 October, Man Utd meet Bournemouth at 14:00 on 5 Live, while Liverpool play Brighton and Crystal Palace take on Newcastle at 14:00.
The episode closes with the Great Glossary of Football, a collection of terms from "Tiki-taka" and "Panenka" to "Park the bus" and "Sweeper keeper", celebrating the language of the game.
