Tom White and Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony discuss Enzo Maresca's comments this week following a turbulent weekend. The Chelsea boss insists he is “happy” at the club and is “falling more in love with the players,” just days after saying he had experienced “the worst 48 hours” of his time at Chelsea. Darragh describes Maresca as a “serial trophy hunter” and “one of the better managers this season,” while Chelsea fan Charlie, who was at the game, joins us to share the mood among supporters after the 3–1 Carabao Cup win over League One side Cardiff.Next, we turn to an explosive interview with Bruno Fernandes, who admitted it “hurt” to realise the club “wanted me to leave” after Saudi side Al-Hilal proposed a £100m fee for the 31-year-old. Manchester United fan Joe praises Bruno's numbers since joining the club, even comparing the United captain to Kevin De Bruyne.Finally, we discuss Eddie Howe's response to Bruno Guimarães' comments from the weekend, after the midfielder branded Newcastle's performance against Sunderland “embarrassing” and “a mess.” Howe pushed back, saying, “We weren't a mess — I think Bruno's very emotional.” Craig Hope suggests the manager was sending a message to the dressing room that talk is cheap and performances must improve on the pitch. Newcastle fan Matthew joins us, criticising Howe's team selection for the derby and arguing the club have lost some of their identity this season and need to get back to basics.Watch us live, Monday to Friday, 10am until Midday on Sky Sports News or listen to the podcast as soon as we come off air.

A big statement of intent - that's what Carl, Iwan and Sam made of the three late attacking substitutions made Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy that turned an acceptable away draw into a huge win at title rivals Stevenage.
