Guest host Paul MacInnes is joined by Barry Glendenning, Priya Ramesh and Daniel Harris for a stop-gap tour around the Premier League weekend. Starting with the derbies, we ask whether Manchester United fans deserve better than to play the role of underdog in every game against a big side, and whether Everton’s equaliser was the most Big Sam thing to have ever happened.
Moving on, the panel asks whether Antonio Conte tinkers too little to sustain a title bid and whether Burnley are actually as good as Tottenham, as the table might suggest. And did Christian Benteke commit the ultimate footballer transgression when he demanded to take what would’ve been a winning penalty, and missed?
In the rest of Europe, Sid Lowe calls in from Spain with good tidings for one team in particular, Barry talks us through Italy and the Derby d’Italia and Priya explains what happened at Dortmund with the outgoing Peter Bosz.
We’re back on Thursday with Max back in the hot seat!
