It's the first Football Weekly Extra of the season and James Richardson, fresh from landing a new gig on Channel 5, is raring to go along alongside Barry Glendenning, Sean Ingle and Owen Gibson.
In today's show: Arsenal's win over a perky Udinese, and the prospects of their injury-and-suspension-laden side beating Liverpool, are discussed and dissected - and there's also time for Everton's frustrations, Ken Bates's insistence that owning a football club is a little bit like making love, and the weekend's big fixtures to be previewed.
Meanwhile across the pond, Sid Lowe returns from a late night at Camp Nou to digest another touchline brawl and Mourinho's "cowardly" actions, while James Horncastle takes us through scandals that will not leave Italian football and assesses Roma's chances when the new Serie A season kicks off.
Crikey. It makes the Premier League look positively golden, doesn't it? Please leave your thoughts below.
