In this week's podcast we discuss how and why players get hurt at all levels of the modern game. We take cover equipment, hybrid pitches, 3G pitches potentially causing cancer and discuss if growing awareness of the consequences of head injuries in sport could see a day where heading a football is banned?

This weekends Premier League action also gets a mention.

John goes solo to preview gameweek 8 and suggest he is the highest rated FPL podcast host in the world, that Lukaku is playing well and that you dont need Chelsea players Vs Palace. Basically hes lost it...

John and Paul's discussion on technology, broadcasting and rule changes and thoughts on the future of football will have to wait. Irony has struck and we have been hit by technical issues! Sorry about that

We definitively establish how to get the best out of the free hit chip. The fixtures are turning, the fixtures are turning. Or are they? We discuss which of the big teams have players you can build your team around in October. Plus news of a special prize on offer for our mini league winner.

We discuss how to judge who can be considered a world class and somehow how decide its ok to say EPL as we debate if it is the best league in the world. There’s a bit of Catalan referendum chat as we try and find a new league for Barca to play in. You’re welcome Lionel.

You can't say anything these days? We discuss the Mark Sampson affair, Lukakugate and what it’s ok to say in a modern stadium. And for good measure we even throw in a review of this weekend's Premier League action.

We give our thoughts on who you can count on to get you a share of the Man City points, talk about how to approach European rotation risks and discuss which premium defenders are worth your time and money.

We discuss City and United winning well in different fashions, argue about what constitutes a shot on target and discuss how the nature of a clubs ownership effects their manager’s job security. As well as suggesting that some managers are unsackable, we also discuss which managers might be feeling the pressure now the first head has rolled from a Premier League dugout.
