As if Big Dunc as the special guest isn't enough, hearing Jamie Carragher say "Kerkez", "Gakpo" and "Chiesa" in the same sentence on MNF almost makes the extortionate monthly subscription to Sky worth it.

Mikel Arteta's talk of "finishers" (aka: substitutes) after Arsenal beat Athletic last night reminded of that time Gary Neville discovered/invented "mini-retirements" (aka: holidays)

🚨 Football Weekly is here 🚨 🏆 Champions League back 💡 Arteta invents substitutes ✋️ More handball madness 🏊‍♂️ Wild swimming with Rangers www.theguardian.com/football/aud...

Lads, it's Grimsby.

Brixton Ritzy this morning. Hopefully I'm not ruining the surprise for Georgia but it's been up for hours. Like everyone else, I'm curious to know what ... movies they're showing.

Sheffield Wednesday knock Leeds out of the Carabao Cup in a Hillsborough that is near empty due to a fan boycott. Wow.

If only somebody could organise some sort of competition. I dunno, maybe a league where 20 teams play each other twice over nine months – that would sort this My Opinion v Your Opinion thing out for once and for all. Anyone?

Football Weekly Premier League predictions part one - Arsenal through to Fulham ... (part two out tomorrow) www.theguardian.com/football/aud...

Late start, a lot of timewasting and 30 seconds per understudy.

lot of injuries?

Went to a play. News which will shock Football Weekly listeners bored by my opinion that almost all theatre involving actors (except musicals) is shit + a complete waste of everyone's time. Everyone else seemed to like it but a massive "meh" for me. And it overran by 20 minutes over the 90 promised
