Summary
Gab Marcotti is joined by Henry Winter, Alyson Rudd and Alan Smith to wade through some big issues and talking points in the world of football.
Manchester City’s quadruple hopes look stronger than ever as they return to the top of the Premier League. What is Pep Guardiola doing for the club’s image on the world stage? Plus the panel get stuck into the Raheem Sterling-Leonardo Bonucci-Moise Kean racism debate.
After condemnation of Cardiff manager Neil Warnock’s criticism of Premier League referees, behind the bluster, we ask whether Warnock has a point about officiating standards.
Henry and Alyson have been to the newly opened Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which Henry calls the best stadium in the country. How essential is it for Tottenham to be playing Champions League football in their new home?
