Matt is joined by Natalie and Connor to talk through the main Everton talking points this week.

We look at the Premier League as a whole and whether the Blues can capitalise on a number of sides being out-of-sorts.

Then it’s on to Hull. Are there still questions over Barry and Dewsbury-Hall despite their goals? And where do we see the current ownership situation leading, with The Friedkin Group keen to cash in on the club?

Paddy is back, Everton are back, frustrating away draws are back and yes...ownership uncertainty is back.

Matt and Paddy look at Thierno Barry's mixed day at Hull City. The numbers suggest he's improving, but is his profligacy in front of goal a problem

Tyrique George's recent omissions also provide a conundrum; what's going on there?

And to finish we tackle the ownership situation. What does it mean for the manager, the team and transfers?

Paddy’s colleague from The Athletic, Greg O’Keeffe steps in this week, as we look ahead to the return of Premier League football.

Greg also gives us a unique insight into the mindset of David Moyes and where his head could be at as time continues to tick down on his Everton contract. We also look back at the Folarin Balogun transfer saga after he has seemingly opened the door to a transfer to the Premier League again; Greg, who has interviewed the United States striker before, looks at how much of a missed opportunity it was for the Blues.

Greg also talks through his recent interview with Kevin Sinfield, who has been raising money in support of Motor Neurone Disease charities by running seven ultramarathons in seven days.

Manchester City were found guilty on 114 Premier League charges and lodged an appeal, rival clubs began lining up compensation claims, and Real Madrid handed UEFA a reported 50,000-page dossier on Barcelona. Barcelona have since counter-sued for defamtion. All this comes four months after Everton were ordered to pay Burnley £35m in the first-ever club-to-club PSR compensation award.
Picking up a Mailbag question from The Bridewell on Friday's show, we ask whether football is finally eating itself, or whether the feast started back in 1983, with Everton sitting at the table.
We break down what the commission actually found against City and what happens next with their appeal. We compare City's case with every other club that's been punished, including Everton, Forest, Leicester and Chelsea, and ask why some lost points while others kept them. We explain how Burnley turned a four-point model into a £35m bill, and why it's now the template for claims against City.
We revisit the history of clubs suing clubs, from Tevez and Boro v Derby to Madrid v Barça and Madrid v UEFA. And we go back to the end of gate-sharing and the 1992 breakaway to ask an uncomfortable question: is the "drawbridge" partly our own fault?
