Episode Synopsis

The season is ALMOST back! Arsenal won the traditional curtain-raiser the Community Shield on penalties after a late late equaliser took the game against Manchester City to extra time. Mike and Dave chat about what we learned from the game, especially how each of the likely title contenders lined up. How did Rice, Timber, Havertz, Kovacic etc perform?



In the Women's World Cup round of 16, England scraped past Nigeria on penalties after a Lauren James red card for violent conduct left the result hanging in the balance. The lads discuss why it was such a difficult win for the Lionesses, and what they need to do next.



We also chat about Wrexham's return to life in the Football League.
