Football Weekly returns with a director's-cut length Premier League preview show with host James Richardson and an old-school line-up of John Ashdown, Barry Glendenning and Sean Ingle.
First up we discuss the contenders for the title: Will Man City be hampered by having too many holding midfielders? Will Man Utd's ageing squad be a problem? Are Chelsea on the way down? Who comes out best in the Cole/Benayoun swap? What the hell is going on at Aston Villa? And has Barry really bet Sean £20 that Liverpool won't finish in the top six?
Meanwhile, is the relegation battle a foregone conclusion with the promoted teams all set to go back down, as John seems to think it is? Or could the likes of Birmingham and Wolves be dragged into the mire?
There's Championship talk, with the pod discussing Steve Coppell's shock departure and the chances of John's fancy, Burnley, for promotion and whether Pompey's bare-bones XI can escape the double-drop?
Meanwhile Sid Lowe joins on the phone with news of Spain's draw in Mexico and the latest transfer gossip from La Liga. And there's just about time to discuss last night's international friendlies - and for a certain pod member to suggest that Fabio Capello is the worst manager in his lifetime.
