Daniel and Have Hope discuss Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United. Graham Potter made an early (but correct) tactical change at the expense of Marc Cucurella. How many items of clothes are too many to take off if you're Matteo Kovacic? Cristiano Ronaldo is back in training with his teammates. Victor Osimhen's stunning strike beats Roma, but it reminds Have Hope that Nigeria aren't at the World Cup. In the second half, should Iran be banned from the World Cup - and if so, should they be replaced by Ukraine. If a precedent were set of removing nations who've committed human rights violations or sold weapons of war to others, who else should FIFA remove? Lastly, would it not be advantageous to offer Iranian players a platform to help lift the voices of Iranian women in their country, given the size and scale of the World Cup?

Martial is the glue in Manchester United's attack when compared to Cristiano and Rashford. Casemiro benched. Chelsea steal two points at Crystal Palace. Arsenal are atop the Premier League, but light in midfield. And we take your questions about Liverpool's midfield, being the GOAT, and revising Bundesliga tax amongst others.

Newcastle United 3-3 Man City: Why are dribblers placed lower in the footballing hierarchy than through-ball specialists?

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Manchester United's terrible start, and where the stumbling giant goes from here (here being 20th). Liverpool aren't too far ahead of Man United, starting the season with two draws; is the sale of Sadio Mané already costing points. No forward/attacking midfielder has scored for Chelsea, what is Thomas Tuchel's answer? N'Golo Kanté is injured again, Daniel thinks a potential fix is making him a static defensive midfielder. Drama at PSG... does Kylian Mbappé care if it's still Neymar's team? And we take your questions on Tuchel v Antonio Conte, the Premier League's most interesting players, strategy after making a big sale, and how we'd fix watching football on television.

In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Musa Okwonga of the Stadio Podcast. They discuss how Musa became a Manchester United supporter. How the club's future was altered by a horse. Why it's difficult for fans to protest. And the Erik ten Hag era. Musa shares about his grandfather managing the Uganda national team, and his assumed completion of an Acholi to English dictionary. The focus then shifts to writing. How did Musa plan his writing career, what are his processes, does he have a preference for writing or talking, and how African journalists in the West can be boxed into only discussing race if not careful. They end with a quick-fire round, where we discover an animal Musa would choose to be for 24 hours, his favourite skill move, and what his dream music festival would look like amongst other things.

Do points early in the season weigh the same as points later in the season? Manchester City are working things out, but Erling Haaland is already terrifying. What is the point of Chelsea's football, and does Thomas Tuchel have any solutions short of "buy more quality?" Tottenham look scary, but can you overcome the fact they're Spurs?

In the second half we preview the 2022/23 season. The "will they won't they" of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. The title race between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The top four battle of Serie A. The top six ordering in the Premier League, and who wins the Champions League?

Daniel is joined by Dan Soff (of Touchline Fracas & Chessy Hour) to discuss how the transfer market is the best time in football's calendar. Chelsea loaning Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan. How the Chelsea board has been altered by new ownership. Todd Boehly's handling of player acquisition, and the knock-on effect for Thomas Tuchel. How does Dan feel about Raheem Sterling. But before all that: What's in a name, and why even support this club? They end with a quick comment on how the media report transfer news, how Cristiano Ronaldo should go about the next eight months, and something for the pocket-watching Sadio Mané haters.

Have Hope and Daniel discuss how Chelsea's ownership group are shaping the board, and how it could affect Thomas Tuchel. Is Raheem Sterling enough to fix the Blues' attack? Have Hope has faith in Antonio Conte's Tottenham project. The guys wonder about Klopp's ability to hang without Sadio Mané, and with Darwin Núñez. For Mané, if Bayern Munich lose Robert Lewandowski is he enough to make the difference. Paul Pogba released "The Pogmentary" on Amazon Prime. Do young footballers need documentaries? What did we like/dislike about Pogba's effort, and which player(s) would we like to see documented? We end with Arsène Wenger's comments on Africa/African footballers.

Talking Tactics discuss Robert Lewandowski's mission to leave Bayern Munich. Is Barcelona his destination, and if so does it work? We imagine if Barça's finances weren't ruined, and they could pair Ousmane Dembélé with Lewandowski. Romelu Lukaku is said to want an Inter Milan return. While it might make sense on the pitch, does it make sense off of it? We consider the amount of money Chelsea spent to get him, and whether leaving after one season is plausible. Lionel Messi scored five goals against Estonia. We wonder how many goals Messi could've scored playing for a European nation, as South America's level of competition varies far less, with few chances to play non-professionals.
