It's turkey time! Mitch and Jon both had a reality check this week, whilst Bako wins the week and revels in Cardiff's struggles.

Football is back! With the first week of action concluded, we discuss the things we got right, wrong and indifferent, and look ahead to the coming weeks and the players who've caught our collective eye early on, but worryingly, it does seem as though Mitch & Bako have traded places this season . . . See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We're back! Jon, Bako & Mitch are refreshed after the summer break, and ready for action once more. We put our heads together and decided that we richly deserved a second series, so here it is!
