0:00.0	Football. It has its ups and downs. There's the players who kiss the badge and kiss the club goodbye.
0:05.3	Right after you've splashed out 100 quid to get their name on your kit. And oh, the ailer striker who always sticks it in Rose Ed.
0:12.2	The good news is the Ladbrooks Acker gives you auto insurance, free bets back and big odds boosts.
0:17.1	So whatever else lets you down, it won't be your Acker. It's a gaffer of an ACA from Ladbrooks.
0:21.9	18 plus online and mobile minimum mods apply. Maximum 1 to 310 pound free bets per customer per day.
0:25.9	Up to 50 pound of boosted odds, restrictions and TNCs apply. Begamblerware.org. Take time to think.
0:30.2	Get ready for a game changer. Adobe Express is the quick and easy app that makes creating content for your business easier than ever.

1:20.5	Smarty keeps things simple, like 80 gigabytes for 10 pounds a month,
1:24.5	with no annual price rises.
1:26.3	Less malarkey, more Smarty. Search Smarty Mobile.
1:34.3	Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge. It is going to be a great Thursday. Let's see how we did, though, on a Wednesday. Let's see the recap screen here.
