In another weekend of football amidst VAR being VAR, football being cancelled and 2 titans of football reaching milestones, we are hear to discuss all that with you! This week's episode:

We spoke about VAR! (duh) (1:05) How shambolic it was this weekend across several of the PL games this weekend most notably in the CFC v Spurs and City v Leicester games. Should it be scrapped? Whats wrong with the referees? should we be looking outside of England for officials?

An iconic moment in football (5:53) as Lionel Messi became the first to contribute to 1000 goals. Spoke on him and how he seems to get better with time. Braithewaithe doing what Greizmann can't? Also CR7 scoring 11 games in a row. CR7 x Ramsey could be a thing? Lazio and Juventus winning but is there an advantage for Inter?

Going big on a man who is growing in reputation in Germany and that is Christopher Nkunku (12:25). With 4 goals and 11 assist, 4 coming in a single game, is he the next Pogba?

Haaland (14:50) using his Bundesliga goal this weekend to shift into the UCL recap. (15:40) PSG defeated by Tuchel and the way he has set up the team. Can Atleti survive Anfield? Spurs have any hope this year? Atalanta this year's Ajax.

(19:50) Has Liverpool been as good as the table shows? Is the Premier League worse this year?

QUICK HITS:

- (28:18) Auba top scorer of the league

- (29:49) DCL for England?

- (30:30) Quick updates on league standings, particularly the race for top 5 in England.

- (33:38) UCL preview this week!

This has got to be the most eventful weekend in football in sometime with all sorts of off-field issues dominating headlines all over, and of course we are here to talk them through with you:

UEFA v Man City (1:10) . The ins and outs of the case, the basis, the backstory, the views from both the inside and outside what man city are prepared to do. Thoughts on FFP, the repercussions this can have on European football. Staying in England, Arteta got his performance (21:20) from his big names and got some monkeys off their backs.

In the Serie A, (26:20) is Daniele Padelli the worst GK in Europe? The effect he’s having on others. The strengths Lazio have in this title race and advantage they may have. Other side of Milan, (30:30) why did it take so long for AC to play Rebic? The effect he has had on this team and the run they’ve been on.

Barcelona has been given a special allowance to sign a striker this week!(33:55) But, why!? Is it corruption by Barcelona again and the weird players they are targeting this week.

Quick hits:

(36:10) PSG rotating for an entertaining game.

(37:20) Marseille revitalised season.

(40:25) is Lamps unlucky vs OGS or is it more to it? Bailly big game! Bats big missed.

(43:45) all the title contenders in Germany won this weekend. Sancho setting personal records but where can Dortmund find luck vs PSG?

(46:30) has Jack Grealish been a top 5 player in England this season? Is the hype REALLL? Should he be starting for England?

(53:33) who you’d give PFA POTY to if it was handed out today? Contenders for YPOTY.

As we return Virgil and myself after a Prem restricted weekend we got to talk about all the other football that happened across the weekend:

• Milan derby (2:50) was one of the best it’s had in the last few days. The major winners and losers from the game and even the positives to take out of it for the Rosseneri in losing. Keeping it in Italy, talking about the title implications for Juve and Lazio following this weekend’s results. 

• Dortmund with so much to talk about (15:03) with their defensive shambles almost always overshadowing their offensive prowess. Comparing this Dortmund team to itself in the past and other sides that have become stagnant and eventually regressed. Great game for Leipzig and why they have a lot to gain from drawing despite not getting maximum points. 

• Speaking PSG but more specifically Neymar (30:38) What is his legacy since he has moved to PSG? Has he even improved them? Is the move deemed a success? Is his career a flop? Has he been outshone in Paris?

• Talking La Liga title race (36:18) how Real Madrid have evolved over the last few months and how Zidane has revitalized this Madrid team with Benzema at the heart of it. Is Varane the best CB in Europe this year? Are Barcelona going through their season of humbling?

We are back once again with our regularly scheduled podcast! On this episode we discussed:
