WARNING: This week's episode is a hot one. The boys are fired up and Pat starts the show with an unmissable rant on the USMNT and Gregg Berhalter. While the USMNT won against Honduras, their draws against El Salvador and Canada are unacceptable.

After that, the boys break down the Champions League group stage before it starts this week. We choose our top two teams in every group (teaser: a couple of us think Juventus are heading down to the Europa League) and start to break down our favorites for the entire competition.

We then take a look at the biggest matches this week in Europe featuring: Leicester City vs Man City, Leeds vs Liverpool, Leipzig vs Bayern, Napoli vs Juventus & AC Milan vs Lazio. 

Finally, we keep our three-week tradition going by giving you our top lads and hairdryer of the week. Find out why Josh has a gripe with Guinea and why Mitch was impressed by Timo Werner during the break. 

Pat caps it off with an epic cliffhanger hot take that we will discuss at the start of next week's episode. 

In today's episode we welcome on close friend of the pod, Justin Lapointe, in a joint therapy session to talk about the disaster that is Arsenal Football Club. We also break down all of Europe's biggest transfers as deadline day has now passed, including Ronaldo to Manchester United, Saul to Chelsea and Camavinga to Real Madrid.

After that the boys break down a couple of last weekend's biggest Premier League fixtures. Liverpool dropped points at home to a 10-man Chelsea, Manchester City thrashed Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium and West Ham faced a stalemate in an exciting match against Crystal Palace.

The final segment of the show is the second edition of Top Lad & Hairdryer of the week. Find out why Mitch chose Fabrizio Romano as his top lad, and why Josh has serious disdain for Liverpool, owner John Henry.

In today's episode we cover the European transfer market before the window ends in a week, let's just say nobody knows the craziness going on. Josh, Mitch and Pat talk about Ronaldo possibly joining Manchester City, Kylian Mbappe making his dream move to Real Madrid and also cover where the likes of Saul and Eduardo Camavinga will end up.

After that the boys rehash last weekend across Europe and uncover some of the best matches. Arsenal currently look like a dumpster fire, West Ham are firing on all cylinders, and Real Madrid experiences a hiccup against Levante. 

Next, we talk about the two Premier League matches that stand out ahead of the incoming weekend between Liverpool and Chelsea & Arsenal and Man City. Klopp vs Tuchel is a manager matchup we all love, and Arteta could be seeing his time at the Emirates come to a close.
