Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson and Sachin Nakrani to look back at a packed weekend of football, starting with the end of Manchester City’s unbeaten streak.

Liverpool’s attacking verve earns praise but Loris Karius hasn’t improved his standing with our panelists after his big audition. Arsenal lose at Bournemouth for the first time with the main question being: are they actually in a better state now than they were when Wenger arrived.

The panel discusses the latest appointments made by Stoke City and Wales and wonders whether they’ll be successful like David Moyes or a damp squib like Alan Pardew, and pays tribute to the late Cyrille Regis, who passed away over the weekend.

We talk to Sid Lowe in Spain about another good weekend for Barcelona and yet another terrible one for Real Madrid, who are closer in points to the relegation zone than the summit of La Liga, and we follow our European roundup with more feedback on frozen kebabs and double-barrelled surnames.
