Tim and Tom review some of the Champion's League games that caught the eye, including Bayern Munich v Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon v Spurs and the surprise of the week - Bruges v Porto. 

They then discuss the Premier League with Tim feeling great that Arsenal are sitting pretty on top of the league. They discuss who can win and who's realistically going to win (no surprises there).

Finally they move onto the international break for Nations League games and talk about how much managers will want to experiment, or if it's time to lock in your best squad and a system with the Qatar World Cup just round the corner.

In this Almería Podcast Special, Tim and Tom review last night's game under the lights of the Power Horse Stadium. 

Why did it go wrong? They look at the tactics, the formation, the players, the missing component in central midfield and 2 exciting young players who made their league debuts, El Bilal and Lazaro. 

In this episode we talk about the controversial VAR moments from last weekend's Premier League matches. 

We delve into the history of VAR, life before and since it came into our lives. We ask whether it should be 'binned' as West Ham's Michel Antonio and ex-England and Arsenal striker have recently recommended, or whether we are just experiencing 'teething' problems that will be resolved over time. 

Finally we suggest a couple of alternatives to fix VAR, with Tim arguing that more power should be given back to the on-field referee and Tom arguing that the power transfer should go in the opposite direction, to the people in the VAR studio. 

Tim and Tom tackle a number of topics, starting with the death of Queen Elizabeth II and whether it was right to suspend Premier League football matches for one week.

They also talk about some of the big mid-week European matches, the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and if 'show-boating' is ever justifiable in professional football. 

Tim and Tom discuss the latest changes that the premier league clubs have made to their player rosters. They talk about the transfer signings that they will be successes and failures. They talk about the player moves that have surprised them and the moves that they think smell of desperation. 

Finally, they talk about the differences in the money changing hands between the Premier league and the other major European leagues and whether that's good for the long-term future of the game.
