About this episode

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Alyson Rudd and Tony Cascarino.


Newcastle gave Manchester City a scare on Sunday - what does this result tell us about their progression since the takeover? (00:00)


Hugh is not impressed with VAR again and one incident in that game was largely to blame (16:53)


Leeds blew Chelsea away at Elland Road. How desperately do Chelsea need a number 9 and are modern goalkeepers taught to play with their feet too much? (27:16)


Brighton came away from the London Stadium with three points as West Ham’s goalless start to the season continues - is it time to panic for David Moyes? (41:00)
