Liverpool and City played out a (second half) game for the ages, with Mo Salah confirming his status as Liverpool's greatest in the modern era. We discussed that, Rodri's brilliance, James Milner counting his lucky stars and why City's move for Grealish over Kane may become a recurring theme.
Also, there's chat about Solskjaer's future and his team selection against Everton, Leicester's struggles and why Brendan Rodgers is a Europa League manager who hates the Europa League.

Well, it was all going so well until Cristiano Ronaldo decided to show up and break Irish hearts with two awesome headers to snatch the win. Until then, there were plenty of positives to take as Gavin Bazunu denied Ronaldo from the spot, Andrew Omobamidele looked the part in an unexpected debut, Josh Cullen and Matt Doherty delivered fine performances and Adam Idah led the line like a well travelled #9.
To unpack the game, look at who wasn't involved and wax lyrical about the U21s, Evan Ferguson and some of the young talent coming through, we're joined by Ronan Calvert (@KennysKids).
Please excuse some audio gremlins for the host, which miraculously fixed themselves mid-way through the recording.

The lads unpack a manic few days in the football and transfer front, with Cristiano Ronaldo's seismic return to Manchester Utd the headliner. We're joined by Daniel Harris to see what the transfer means for the club, our moral compasses and the expectations for the club this season with his impactful return (from 51mins).
On the Premier League front, we talk Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Chelsea and if Liverpool's lack of transfer activity could put paid to an extended title challenge. We consider the Paul Pogba tackle that had Souness fuming, Arsenal's utterly absymal form that has then drawing comparisons to Derby of 07/08, plus there's the Irish international break and what we can hope to get out of the upcoming games as well as the fantastic news over the Equal Pay announcement.
