Hello and welcome to Libero. I have no idea what number. This is the podcast about the least important of the most important things, as Mary Earps once wrote in her autobiography and then regretted. That story's mad.

The person giddling is Jonathan Wilson of the Jonathan Wilson Industrial Complex, and the person chuckling,

elegantly and gracefully, is John Bruin, who's physically of London, but spiritually is enjoying

an apparel sprit in Robbie Savage's house in Macclesfield.

How are you both?

I'm very well, thanks. So are you? Yes, I am well. Robbie, let me correct you. I know you're a close personal friend of his, actually, closer than I am. Lives in the village of Presby and a very nice house.

He does. That's true. I mean, Matlesfield is the kind of the tip of Chesh's golden triangle, isn't it? It's one of the, whereas Robbie is very much a central character to it. Yeah, McElwield is the market town and the areas of Presby and Aldly Edge. Actually, the real money is where the Roonies live is sort of Knuttsford Way. That's where this big farm you, that's where you can build like a, you know, Hollywood star style condominium where no one can ever get close to you, sort of do. Yeah, there's a place called Holmes Chapel, which has got some mad houses in it. Have either of you two been at a football match this week? I'm going to Newcastle of Athletic tonight. Oh, nice. No, I'm not doing a Champions League match this week,

but I'm back on the B-ic tonight. Oh, nice. No, I'm not doing a

Champions League

match this week,

but I'm back

on the B teams

this weekend. Listeners will be glad to know. But it's Burnley this time. There at West Ham, a six-pointer, a battle of claret, which may be very confusing for, well, David Cameron. Is he still in his shed? Or is he come out of that now? Or has he gone back to the shed?

You don't hear much from Cameron these days, do you? You don't, he doesn't sit his head above the parapet, particularly. Just before we start, and we are discussing the other B teams, not Burnley, but West Ham might feature, to be fair. Just a quick check. This week, by Munich broker record, they've now started the season with 16 wins in a row, having beaten PSG on an eventful evening for Lewis Diaz on Tuesday night. Just a quick check. Is that a good thing for European football that records keep falling and teams to win 16 games in a row? Is that healthy? Is that something we should be pleased about? No. The thing is, if this was some sort of organic thing, this group of kids had grown together and we're playing brilliant football and they're an inspirational and innovative coach, and they found a new way of playing, then that would be amazing, but it's not. It's just they're wealthy, and they've actually used their wealth for once quite well.

And they're playing great football.

That's not untrue.

But I think we also saw PSG don't really know how to defend,

which has been a habitual problem of theirs.

They managed to clear it for the last three months or last season.

But they sort of were quite complicit in Byans, certainly in the first goal last night. So, I mean, PSC will win the French League without having to play well in the first half of season. That's also a problem. Yep, that would say that's true. Although Marseille are putting up a bit of a fight, so it might at least get, to quote John quoting me.

It might be interesting for a while, but it does feel a little bit like the old PSG Roper Doke tactic of last year is being deployed again, where they're not great

until kind of December, January, and then suddenly they're the best team in Europe.
