About this episode

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Alyson Rudd and Matt Dickinson.


Manchester United vs Arsenal was as eventful as ever. Did Anthony live up to expectation? (00:00)


This game featured one of many VAR talking points over the weekend, but was the decision to rule out Arsenal’s goal actually correct? (13:46)


Brighton have quietly continued their excellent run - should Graham Potter be offered the England job and would he actually accept? What next for Brendan Rodgers at Leicester? (25:08)


Ivan Toney has impressed for Brentford, scoring a hat trick this past weekend. Is it the right time for an England call-up? (37:40)


Along with Toney, we pick our suggestions for curveballs call-ups to Gareth Southgate’s next squad (44:06)


A discussion on VAR turns into a debate, and then a full blown argument! (46:50)
