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!!
