Summary

Sam Tighe, Dean Jones and host Jack Collins are joined by Bradley Simmonds, personal trainer to some of football's most famous faces, and former teammate of Raheem Sterling in his youth career as a professional footballer with Queens Park Rangers, to talk some of the most impressive athletes in the game, as well as stories from the players he trains and his days on the pitch. Hot Takes include a discussion of the two hat-tricks scored this week by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, questions on whether Antoine Griezmann's latest documentary is one of the most ridiculous things to happen this year, and a scorching take that Arsenal fans should be counting their lucky stars they didn't make Monchi their latest Director of Football. In a new and improved Bleacher Roulette, we talk the players we'd love to add to our mates' WhatsApp groups, whether you'd rather have the football career of Francesco Totti or Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and which footballer you'd hate to be stuck in a lift with; before Sam rounds things off by ranking the cheeses he'd use as a weapon in a tight spot.
