On this week's episode, Patrick is joined by Sam Obaseki to talk about football's response to the global political protests following the killing of George Floyd.

This week Dougie and Patrick talk about the cheap alternatives to some of the biggest names on the transfer market this summer. We're all bored of Werner, Sancho, Koulibaly, and Partey, so who should your club buy instead of them, if those players prove too expensive? We turn up some interesting gems and some superstars-in-waiting, and do what is basically our recurring told-you-so segment at this point.

On this week’s episode of Extra Time, Patrick and Dougie discuss some of the biggest transfer rumours to hit the headlines this week. First, we turn our attention to Real Madrid, who are apparently keen to rebuild their frontline with moves totalling nearly half a billion euros for Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappe. But are those the right moves? Is Pogba right for their midfield? Will they have to sell Asensio or Hazard to make it work? Then we look at how Dortmund might respond t...

From his earliest memories of the game to the unexpected players he loves and hates, we talk about his ups and downs as a Man United fan, and I get in a lot of digs about how terrible United are now. Let us know if you like the format, and who you'd like to see interviewed next.

Zac Djellab, Dougie Critchley, and Patrick van Straaten discuss Man City's Champions League ban, and what it changes for their finances and transfers, as well as the new Premier League top 5 race. We examine the club's insistence that they did nothing wrong, but also that the evidence UEFA has that they did something wrong was stolen, and if they did do anything wrong it probably shouldn't be wrong in the first place, and also that it's a witch hunt. Plus some Pep slander and #UnpopularOpinions ...
