Summary

Sam Tighe, Dean Jones and host Jack Collins are joined by former Premier League star Marlon Harewood, and who now runs a premium lifestyle business to assist some of the world's top footballers, to talk the components that make up the standard artillery of a footballer's swag arsenal - including clothing, jewellery, watches and cars, as well as being regaled by tales of his playing days with West Ham, Aston Villa and Newcastle United. Hot Takes include a heated debate over whether Virgil Van Dijk's 2-on-1 defending has been massively overblown by the media, questioning whether Zinedine Zidane's decision to play his son for Real Madrid this weekend was the weirdest flex of the football season, and an all round discussion on who the best left-back in the world is. In a new and improved Bleacher Roulette, we talk whether we'd rather have had the career of Gigi Buffon or Iker Casillas, at what age we realised that we weren't (or were, in Marlon's case) going to make it as professional footballers, whether technique or athletic ability is superior and which one of Adrien Rabiot or Mauro Icardi have cost their respective teams more with their off-the-field issues this year; before Sam wraps things off by ranking his birthdays, in a really bizarre edition of Nonsense Rankings.

0:34.1	Your antidote to the abundance of asinine audio accounts pouring persistently through
0:38.6	your podcast providers. Don't be alarmed, though. The answer has come. We don't just talk about
0:43.2	football here. We put it back in the correct order. My name is Jack Collins, and I'll be a host
0:48.5	today, keeping my superstar colleagues in check, like Jimmy Kimmel hosting the Oscars.
0:54.1	So, to throw it back to old blue eyes, Robbie Williams and Bridget Jones's diary,
0:59.4	Have you met Dean Jones?
1:01.5	Someone said as we shook hands.
1:04.2	He was just Dean Jones to me.
1:07.3	What a beautiful voice you've got young Jack.
1:10.4	Go ahead and then hop on board, ladies and gentlemen. What a beautiful voice you've got young Jack. I'm going to kick it in.
1:12.8	And then hop on board, ladies and gentlemen, to HMS Titanic.
1:16.9	His predictions are a little bit sink or swim.
1:19.1	And we've hit a few ranking icebergs in our time.
1:21.7	But near, far, wherever you are, his rankings will go on.
1:26.7	Yeah, more sink than swim, but thank you for the
1:29.2	faith in keeping me on and keeping me in a job. We'll always be here for the rank god, Sam. Always,
1:34.5	always. A bit later in the day, we're going to be joined by former Premier League striker and a
1:38.7	true showstopper in his day, Marlon Harewood, to talk about his luxury lifestyle business. But before that, it's time for hot takes. Dean, what's you got for me?
1:47.0	Well, I've actually got a bit more of a rant because I feel like the hype over Virgil Van Dykes 2V1 defending against Tottenham the other day
