The big kick-off, English centre-backs and Crusty – Football Weekly

Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and email.

Back for another season, we start by looking back at the Community Shield, in which Manchester City beat Liverpool on penalties.

We also take a look at the biggest stories and transfers which have happened in the month since our last show, and review the opening weekend of the Football League, including a debut for Salford City, ongoing trouble at Bury and a barnstormer at Luton.

And then there’s much more to get through.

Back on Thursday!
