About this episode

Rick & Lloyd are joined by Julien Laurens to discuss how Roberto De Zerbi is slowly moulding Spurs into his image – and after a blockbuster summer, Julien explains why he is undoubtedly the league’s most powerful manager. How far will this transformation go? Whisper it: could Spurs be last season’s Manchester United?

Elsewhere, Rick takes up the mantle from the Monday Night Club and finds out which player has scored the most ‘luxury’ goals this season and Lloyd is off to see Boca Juniors vs River Plate this weekend – otherwise known as the Superclásico, one of football’s fiercest rivalries. Oracle of South American football Tim Vickery tells him how to survive it. Or not.
