Piers Morgan and Simon Jordan return for a new weekly football show, Football Uncensored.
In the first episode, they are joined by former player Graeme Souness and former Tottenham Hotspur owner and The Apprentice host Alan Sugar to discuss all the latest from the Premier League and beyond.
Following Arsenal’s emphatic win over Chelsea at the weekend, Piers suggests it was one of the Gunners’ best performances under Mikel Arteta, praising the likes of Declan Rice for their contribution.

Simon and Piers then discuss Mike Dean’s recent comments on Jamie Vardy’s podcast, where he claimed he used to play games to entertain himself while officiating Premier League matches. Piers calls the revelation nothing short of a disgrace, while Simon reveals that Mike had previously told him even more shocking stories on a podcast...
