About this episode

Gab Marcotti is joined by Paul Hirst, Gary Jacob and Bill Edgar after a big weekend of football and ahead of a big week to come.

With Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Old Trafford with Juventus, Lucy Holden has been to Turin and his birthplace Madeira to study the devotion to a football icon, in the midst of rape allegations that Ronaldo has denied.

After a fiery conclusion to Chelsea’s draw with Manchester United, does Jose Mourinho deserve respect from Blues fans just because he was successful at Stamford Bridge?

Newcastle lose their 5th home game in a row and are still winless this season. Does Benitez deserve more blame? Or do Newcastle’s problems as a football club pre-date Mike Ashley?

Fulham were the 5th biggest net spenders in Europe in the summer. Yet they lost to Cardiff. Did they really need to go out and buy a whole new squad in the summer? And how much longer will Slavisa Jokanovic be at Craven Cottage?
