Things are not always as they seem. Football players and managers have private lives and they're none of our business. And yet, those private lives will impact their on-field performance which is something people should consider before having a go at them. We start the show by discussing this seemingly obvious truth that's been forgotten by the detractors of Jurgen Klopp and numerous others. Later, we turn the page and explore a variety of stories that are slowly emerging from the most crowded football calendar ever. We wonder whether Pep's City can win a quadruple, suggest that Italian football is back, and try to gauge just how many managers in the Brasilerao will be sacked after another week full of dropped points. 

We also discuss Thomas Tuchel's progress on finding his best team, wonder whether Spurs might be nearly out of gas, analyze the impact of Neymar's injury for PSG, and review the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 draw. We also preview UFC 258 in this loaded show; subscribe and share if you enjoyed!
