Was it Man City 1-0 Premier League? Jonathan Northcroft has reappraised and thinks it could be a score draw. Martin is sticking to his guns and Gregor sees echoes of the European Super League.

After the break, what happened to tough players, should Bellingham play up front and Gregor once played against Andres Iniesta…it was spellbinding.

The Game football podcast is here twice a week as the new season starts. It's the thinking fan's podcast for the debate, the tactics, the personalities, injuries, goals and substitutions - whatever it takes to enjoy every nuance of The Game, even if the team has to go to extra time, or penalties to reach an agreement!

Presented by Tom Clarke with contributors including Martin Samuel, Jonathan Northcroft, Charlotte Duncker, Hamzah Khalique-Loonat, Gregor Robertson, Alyson Rudd and others.
