England finished their World Cup qualifying campaign with a perfect record: eight wins from eight, 22 goals scored and none conceded. But instead of praise, much of the conversation has centred around Jude Bellingham and his reaction to being substituted. Has the reaction been overblown, why are the media going after him, and is Thomas Tuchel managing the situation well?

The Premier League returns this weekend with the first North London Derby of the season as Arsenal host Tottenham at the Emirates. How important is a win for Arsenal ahead of a tough run of fixtures? How will Thomas Frank set Spurs up to cause an upset, and how much would it win over the fans?

And with the derby this Sunday, the boys also rank the Top 10 Derbies in the UK from the biggest rivalries to the most underrated clashes.

Rory and Buvey are joined by Flav and Harry to discuss all this and more in the latest episode of The Club.

It’s international week and the trio are back in the studio. Adam, Buvey and Rory review the Premier League season so far and share five things we’ve learned: is it now a two-horse title race? Are Man United genuine top-four challengers? Is Eddie Howe in trouble at Newcastle?

The lads also rank their Top 10 Signings of the Season — from Bryan Mbeumo to Jack Grealish and more. Plus, with Real Madrid’s teenage sensation Endrick struggling for minutes under Xabi Alonso and set to leave on loan in January, they ask: is the term ‘Wonderkid’ overused?

Chelsea eased past Tottenham with a 1-0 win on Saturday — and at the heart of it all was Moises Caicedo. Is he really the best number 6 in world football right now? 

Elsewhere, Manchester United drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest after taking the lead. Did that result take the shine off Amorim’s recent progress? Are United actually turning a corner or just holding their ground?

After last week’s Top 10 Managers in the World debate, Adam and Flav revisit Rory and Buvey’s list — reshuffling and ranking the best managers right now. They also look ahead to the weekend and preview the lunchtime kick off between Tottenham and Man United.

And lastly, the lads build their All-Time Champions League XI of players who never won it — a team full of legends and heartbreak.

Liverpool’s season took another major blow as they lost 3–2 to Brentford on Saturday night — their fourth straight league defeat and fifth loss in six in all competitions. Are Liverpool officially out of the title race?

Manchester United made it three straight wins under Ruben Amorim after beating Brighton 4–2 at Old Trafford. Eight goals scored, three conceded — have United finally turned a corner?

Chelsea lost yet again in the league, this time 2–1 to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. It’s now three defeats in the league for the “World Champions.” So who’s really to blame for their inconsistency — Maresca or Boehly?

39 days. That’s how long Ange Postecoglou lasted at Nottingham Forest, the shortest managerial stint in the club’s Premier League history. No wins. No draws. Just chaos. Now, with Sean Dyche set to take over, we ask: what the hell is going on at Nottingham Forest?

At Anfield, Manchester United stunned Liverpool with a 2–1 win, handing the champions their fourth straight defeat. What does this mean for Liverpool’s title ambitions? And for Ruben Amorim, how defining could this victory be for his tenure at United?

Champions League football returns this week, with all six English clubs in action — Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham. The boys break down each fixture and the key storylines heading into Europe.

Plus, with the Champions League back, we’re building The Club’s Ultimate Champions League XI — but there’s a twist: every player must have won the competition, and only from the modern era (post-1992/93 rebrand).

Rory and Adam are joined by Ade Oladipo and Mr HMRC himself Karel to break it all down in the latest episode of The Club.

The international break is over and England have qualified for the 2026 World Cup. It’s been almost a year since Thomas Tuchel took charge of England — so is it actually working?

This weekend’s standout fixture sees Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield. The champions enter the clash on the back of three straight defeats, while United arrive with a win over Sunderland — but, as ever, they’re only one defeat away from crisis. Which side needs the result more?

With seven games played and the Premier League returning this weekend, the boys revisit their pre-season predictions — are they sticking or twisting? They wrap things up by answering audience questions in this week’s Q&A.

Liverpool’s last-minute defeat to Chelsea made it three consecutive losses in all competitions — the first time that’s ever happened in Arne Slot’s managerial career. What’s going wrong at Liverpool, and can he turn it around before the season slips away?

With Liverpool faltering, Arsenal now sit top of the table — unbeaten in six and having conceded just once from open play. Have Arteta’s side quietly become the Premier League’s most complete team, and are they now the true title favourites?

Meanwhile, Erling Haaland’s ridiculous form continues as he fired City to another 1–0 win over Brentford. But with Guardiola’s side still looking short of their best, can Haaland carry City to the title on his own?

At Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim picked up a 2–0 victory over Sunderland on his 50th game in charge of Man United. But does that result actually change anything for Amorim?

Rory, Adam and Buvey break it all down in the latest episode of The Club.

Arsenal’s huge win at St. James’ Park cut Liverpool’s lead to just two points. It’s still early in the season, but how significant could that result be for Arteta and Arsenal — and did they silence their critics in the process?

Crystal Palace ended Liverpool’s unbeaten run with a late Nketiah winner at Selhurst Park, stretching their own streak to 18 games. How good are Palace really — and are Liverpool’s defensive frailties becoming a serious problem? Meanwhile, Man United suffered another defeat under Ruben Amorim, this time against Brentford. Is Amorim on the brink? And why are INEOS hesitating to act?

At Chelsea, the problems keep mounting. Three losses in four, back-to-back red cards, and pressure building on Maresca — what exactly is happening at Stamford Bridge?

And over at West Ham, the inevitable happened: Graham Potter was sacked and replaced by Nuno Espírito Santo. What’s next for Potter, and is Nuno the right fit for the Hammers?

This week’s episode was recorded across two sessions — Adam, Miles and Buvey on Sunday, and Rory and Buvey on Monday — to give you the full picture of a dramatic weekend in football.

Gabriel Martinelli equalised in the 93rd minute to rescue a point for Arsenal, but should it have been more? Did Arteta’s cautious lineup against Man City cost Arsenal a vital win in the title race? With Liverpool now 5 points clear, is the Premier League slipping away?

For the first time in over 600 games, Pep Guardiola went full-on park-the-bus against Arsenal. He subbed Nathan Ake on for Foden, Haaland off for Nico Gonzalez and switched to a back five. What does this new approach say about Man City’s future under Pep?

Chelsea lost again this time 2–1 at Old Trafford. That’s now back-to-back defeats after also losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Will Chelsea’s wider strategy derail their season?

Last week, Jamie Carragher said Harry Kane is England’s greatest ever striker. At the same time, Erling Haaland broke another Champions League record by becoming the fastest to reach 50 goals in just 49 games. And don’t forget Liverpool spent £130 million on Alexander Isak to help fire them to the title. So today on The Club, we’re asking: who is the best striker in the world right now?

Rory, Adam and Buvey are in the studio to discuss all this and more in the latest episode of the Club.

The Ballon d’Or is just around the corner with names like Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal amongst the favourites — but should Mo Salah be this year’s winner?

Looking ahead to the weekend, Liverpool host Everton in the Merseyside Derby while Arsenal take on Manchester City in a huge clash at the Emirates. Who will lay down a defining marker in the title race?
