Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Philippe Auclair and Paolo Bandini to discuss the weekend’s football action, starting with the unexpected departure of Marco Silva from Watford. The Pozzo family have employed Javi Gracia as his replacement, the 10th such appointment since they took over in 2012.
Next up, the panel discusses the moves between Arsenal and Manchester United – perhaps a rare mutually beneficial deal as Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan swap celebrity barbers. Philippe reveals his unusual seating arrangement at the Emirates, as well as his delight in the Gunners’ first-half performance against Crystal Palace.
Through the rest of the Premier League, we focus on Chelsea’s bewildering hunt for a target man, any target man, Tottenham’s problems without Christian Eriksen, Paul Lambert’s debut win and Bournemouth playing out a cliché. In the Football League, there’s news of mayhem at Elland Road, the end of the road for the other Pep and a compromised water bottle.
We talk to Sid Lowe in Spain, get the latest on Serie A’s return from Paolo and talk about PSG’s second loss of the season and Lille’s sad decline with Philippe.
Back on Thursday!
