Summary
Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Sasha Goryunov after another stellar Premier League weekend.
Newcastle’s new era begins in dismal fashion with defeat at home to Spurs. There may be big things to come in their future but is this current crop of players and manager doomed to relegation?
West Ham are winners at Everton with everyone else starting to realise how good Declan Rice is. But nobody’s in any doubt that Mo Salah is operating on a Messi level right now as Liverpool hammer clueless Watford.
Solskjaer is under more pressure as Man United lose at Leicester. James Horncastle tells us about the threat posed by Atalanta in the Champions League this week.
Plus angry goalkeepers, the wimpiest effort on goal and one of the most ill-disciplined players of his generation.
