Summary

Sam Tighe, Dean Jones and host Jack Collins are joined by eSports legend, presenter and Manchester United host ChuBoi to talk about the players who are pure genius in real life but whose skills do not translate onto video games, and inversely, those players who are insanely overpowered on a virtual platform. Hot Takes include a discussion on whether Lille's Nicolas Pepe is the potential steal of the summer transfer window, where Jose Mourinho should head next to rekindle his managerial career, and questions if Manchester United could stop City in the Premier League title race-and would they even want to? In this week's roulette, we talk the best and most creative football chants, whether Claudio Ranieri's recent tenures have damaged his managerial reputation, and which manager you would want to play under if you were an up-and-coming wonderkid; before Sam rounds things off by ranking the OG starter Pokemon-Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander.
