The opening weekend of the new Premier League season doesn’t disappoint. Drinking it in with Jimbo are Carl Anka, Sasha Goryunov and Daniel Storey.
Tottenham defeat champions Man City in a dream start for Nuno in North London. Will that inspire City to go and get Harry Kane? Or should they be spending that money on a left-back and a defensive midfielder?
Manchester United thrash Leeds 5-1. Imagine how good they’ll be once they put Sancho and Varane in that team. And Brentford provide the feel-good story of the weekend.
Elsewhere where is the Arsenal leadership? Can Villa create a whole new attack without Grealish? Will Everton fans learn to love resilient Rafa?
Plus we pay tribute to the goal-hanger’s goal-hanger Gerd Muller. And Sasha bemoans the state of Russian football.
