Champions League is BACK baby so let Sam and Jimmy ease your brain back into it by breaking down what we learned from Liverpool/PSG and Inter/Tottenham (15:18), what contrasting results say about the two Manchester clubs and how much respect does Paul Pogba deserve at the moment (20:23), some momentary gushing over the continued brilliance of Barcelona and Real Madrid (30:09), capped off with the three key points to Ronaldo's controversial red card and its impact on Juventus (33:27). Next, we turn to the weekend ahead where the EPL slate is highlighted by several compelling match-ups, including West Ham/Chelsea (47:05), Arsenal/Everton (50:10) and Brighton/Tottenham (53:42). Without giving it away, Sam sees a weekend of upsets ahead. Finally, the boys run through what to watch for over the next few days elsewhere in the soccer world (1:04:17), including Germany, Spain, Italy and some HUGE derbies in Holland and Turkey, plus a weekly debate about why VAR in MLS is the best/worst (1:11:32).

Jimmy and Sam help shake off your post-international break hangover by diving back into this weekend's EPL results, starting with a heartfelt genuflection about what the Tottenham/Liverpool game says about each club (2:50) followed by our first -- of many -- caller voicemail questions (13:14). We follow that up with thots on Watford/United (16:49), lessons from Chelsea's in win over Cardiff (19:21), and a lovefest for Bournemouth's Ryan Fraser (29:28), Palace's Wilfy Zaha as MVP (31:21) and world-beaters West Ham (34:55), then wrap up EPL with an extremely controversial Top 4 / Bottom 3 debate (42:23). Next up is a brief lap around the rest of the world, featuring discussions about La Liga (47:10), Serie A (49:51), Bundesliga (54:53) and MLS (56:53), including another listener voicemail (104:57). Last but not least we run through everything worth watching this midweek during Champions League's first matchday (109:58), including previews and predictions for all biggest boner-inducing fixtures coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday.

THE CHAMMMMMPIONNNNNNNS! Sam and Jimmy are back and jump right in previewing the eight freshly drawn groups -- who get screwed in the Group of Death and which teams made out like bandits -- (0:59) before turning to the weekend ahead, starting with the EPL (19:50) where the big questions are whether Watford are for real and if Jozay could survive a loss to Burnley, before turning to the rest of Europe and climaxing with a fitting sendoff for Clint Dempsey, a true American soccer legend (50:10).

Sam's Army boys are back discussing what's hot in the soccer streets this week, including thots on Sarachan remaining interim coach and what to do with veterans like Michael Bradley (1:05); Messi calling it quits with Argentina (8:23); La Liga players threaten to strike (10:45); Usain Bolt the soccer star (15:07); EPL previews starting with United/Spurs and the Poo London Dærby (20:43); LOCKS of the week (49:18); running down what's what elsewhere in the world (50:45); and finally a little listener Q&A (57:26).
