There is only one place we can start today’s show: the Turkish Süper Lig. Despite Mauro Icardi’s penalty disaster last night, Pete tells Marcus and Andy that the original penalty taker wasn’t in the wrong. Yep.

Luke and Vish jump on after a weirdly underwhelming barn burner over in Munich, where four of Bayern’s fifty-six efforts found Man United’s net - and United somehow scored three. We wonder if either of these sides can make a meaningful contribution in Europe, get more details on Daniel Levy’s masterplan and reserve yet more love for the greatest Englishman who’s ever lived: Jude Bellingham.

That’s the question Marcus, Pete, Jim and Vish ask today after Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya protest the goalkeeper's union will be stronger than any potential rivalry for the Arsenal no.1 shirt.
