Update Description

Stel, Ben Dinnery and Johnny Wilson are joined by Grant Downie OBE, Consultant & Mentor in Medical & Performance Services.

Grant shares some of his experiences in three decades of medical and performance solutions, which include; being part of a support team at Les Autres Games in New York and leading the rehabilitation process of a 75 year old ex Commando from World War II.

We talk to Grant about the return of European cup football for English teams in the early 90's and how this led to an increase in injuries, the different managers Grant has worked with and Paul Gascoigne's time at Rangers.

Our FPL section focuses on injuries to Willy Boly, Bernard, Moussa Djenepo, N'Golo Kante and we also touch on Gareth Bale's request that Real Madrid do not divulge his injury records.

Stel, Rhodri Giggs, Kagey and Andy host this week's clusterfuck of a show.

We begin with Liverpool's 2-1 win over Spurs, delving into the "Spursy" way, Aurier's erratic challenge on Mane and offer high praise to Henderson and Mane.

Our next topic of discussion is the VAR decision to rule out Arsenal's winner against Crystal Palace, which leads Xhaka's insane behaviour - upsetting supporters and the "influential" AFTV lot.

Rhod talks about United's win over Norwich before the panel wax lyrical about Brendan Rodgers' Leicester.

Ralf Hassenhuttl's future is our next subject where we somehow slip in the 9 times table.

Stel and Kagey expect some sort of royalty cheque from Chelsea after last week's pod inspires Pulisic, who grabbed a hat trick against Burnley and we end the show with some European football news and, of course, Eurotrash!

Update Description

Mike Pieri interviews Wayne Barton, author of Manchester United themed books about his new book "RedPrint, Overcoming Manchester United’s Identity Crisis"

The book charts the years in the aftermath of Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement and for United fans is a story of misfortune, calamitous decisions and the realisation that replacing the greatest manager in the history of the game is indeed as difficult as we all feared. The thread throughout the book questions the club’s search for an identity post-Ferguson.

It is a tough read as a fan as there is page after page, laid bare in front of you, the stark reality that the retirement of the greatest manager in the history of the game could not be remedied.

Stel and Rhodri Giggs are joined by Andy and Eman to discuss some of the big stories from this week's football action.

First on the agenda is a discussion on racism in the game and what measures footballers should take, following the abuse England's black players suffered at the hands of Bulgarian "fans" in the 6-0 win on Monday.

This is followed by a conversation about international football and whether or not it is dying, given the reaction to another break in club football on social media.

We discuss Daniel James' head injury, the Golden Boy Awards and Paul Gascoigne's latest shenanigans.
