A number of surprises in today's programme - first off, James Richardson spends just a couple of minutes on Arsenal's win against Udinese (could it be because of Barry Glendenning's inaccurate prediction?) before looking at the Carling Cup and ahead to this weekend's big games.
Tactical nerd-god Jonathan Wilson returns from an epic stay in South America to take us through Samuel Eto'o's decision to move to Russia for a lot of money, Sunderland's struggles and also proposes that the panel manage a non-league side.
Then we dash over to Sid Lowe for a quick (no, really) chat about the long-awaited start of La Liga and the Malaga project.
Meanwhile Paolo Bandini, brings you all you need to know about Serie A, the strike and his pick of the teams to watch.
Comments welcome, as always. Be gentle.
