This week we're asking whether Hansa Rostock have completed football's greatest PR makeover, why Watford still look desperately short where it matters, and whether we're actually watching Udinese B. There's also a serious discussion on supporter culture, "Cesspit FC", loving the club while hating the regime, and just how much optimism anyone has left (especially Dave Lavender and Justin) before the new season kicks off.

Plus, Justin discovers the greatest beer queue hack ever invented, Peter proposes plumbing lager directly into every seat at Vicarage Road, Carl attempts to drag everyone back to football, and somehow we end up discussing Andy Burnham, Eddie Howe and the definition of "upper echelons". Standard DNSYE rubbish.

COYH!!

The chaps gather virtually ahead of the Hansa Rostock friendly to discuss the summer comings, goings, sad departures and lack of arrivals to date. Justin grumbles about the shirt (which will be a surprise to no one).

We go again!

The latest entrant to the managers office is Alessio Dionisi. Pete takes a look at his track record and his previous ability to get a top 8 place - which next season seems even more important - even though he has never gone up via a play off. Reactions are mainly caustic but that is more to do with the environment he will be entering into rather than hostility towards the new head coach.

A golden boy from two golden eras leaves us and Pete gives a brief synopsis of a football man who did so much for our club - and indeed as a manager - for other clubs. Thanks Kenny.
