Summary

Mark Chapman presents the Monday Night Club with Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Andros Townsend. They discuss the Premier League teams which are struggling at the bottom of the table, with Sheffield United - who lost 8-0 to Newcastle on Sunday - joining Luton and Burnley in having picked up just one point so far this season. Newcastle defender Dan Burn - part of the team that humbled Paul Heckingbottom's side - then joins the podcast to tell the panel what it's like to beat an opponent so heavily. He goes on to discuss his enjoyment of his Champions League debut, including his love for the theme music. Townsend explains the heartbreak that followed coming close to getting a contract at Burnley, where he trained during pre-season.

0:05.0	On the Football Daily Podcast, this is the Monday Night Club with Mark Chapman.
0:10.9	Monday Night Club on the way, Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Andros Townsend are with us.

0:24.6	Monday Night Club, mnc at bbc.co.uk, if you want to get in touch with us.
0:30.3	The first line of which is, Rory Smith should not be allowed to get away with talking not
0:35.9	a nonsense on the subject he is completely ignorant about.
0:40.3	Now Andros, you weren't on the show last week and you probably weren't listening, but
0:44.3	and if you weren't listening out there, then Rory got himself into a bit of a mess with
0:49.4	Chris and Midas, two kings in ancient Greece, not two midfielders in the Brazilian second
0:56.8	division that Rory was going to do a feature piece on.
0:59.9	And so this email from James Foster, who I'm assuming is not the former England wicket

1:15.6	On Monday Night Club, on the 18th of September, he used the phrase, Richard Cretus, and when
1:21.2	asked to explain the reference, he then launched it to a string of untruth.
1:26.5	Clearly pleased with himself and probably relieved not to have been challenged, he then
1:30.7	claimed that listeners to the Monday Night Club were fortunate to have the bonus of some
1:35.8	education about the classical world.
1:38.5	In fact, not one Iota of what he said was true.
1:42.9	Rory needs to stick to talking about football, unless he wants to make it even bigger
