As European men’s football heads into another international break, Musa and Ryan chat about another chaotic afternoon at Old Trafford, this time thanks to Manchester United’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa (03:38). It meant Michael Carrick’s side head into this break in the relegation zone, with the fewest league wins after ten games since 1972.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, there was a huge win for Nottingham Forest over Manchester City, while Bournemouth and Brighton continue to impress and Arsenal extended their lead at the top.

In part two, they head to Spain (30:36), to chat about Barcelona’s win away at Atleti, plus Real Madrid’s brilliant form since the Madrid derby. Finally, there are a few shout outs for some other results and more!

Musa and Ryan watched a lot of football this weekend, and what better place to talk all about it than a jam-packed 700th episode!

After a bit of chit chat, they get into Arsenal’s first win at Anfield against Liverpool in 14 years (10:32), in a feisty game where the points could have been won by either side, or shared. There’s a shout for Brighton’s brilliant win at Manchester City, then it’s off to Stamford Bridge, where Manchester United wasted an excellent first half and Chelsea turned it on in the second, to inflict another defeat on Michael Carrick’s side.

There's a quick shoutout for some other Premier League results, chat about Bayern and Dortmund’s 2-2 draw (47:37), the Superclásico, an exhilarating Basque Derby, wins for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atleti, plus the Derby della Madonnina and more!

Musa and Ryan’s focus this week is on the first Clásico of the season in La Liga, which saw Real Madrid victorious against Barcelona at Camp Nou (03:55). It topped off a great week for José Mourinho, who saw his side put in a very disciplined display on Sunday night.

There’s also some Premier League chat (36:17), with huge wins for Aston Villa and Spurs, plus Bournemouth scoring three at Old Trafford yet again (43:59). There’s some shoutouts for other results and much more!

After a quick shout out of some of the weekend’s results, Musa and Ryan are once again joined by Van Lathan and Jomi Adeniran, from The Ringer’s Midnight Boys, for the second of two special guest episodes!

Much like The Avengers, they assemble to put together the Ultimate Superhero XI (17:52), plus a full bench, as well as coaching and executive staff. It’s an epic.

If you missed it, this follows on from Thursday’s episode, which you can listen to here.

After shouting out the only place to begin, Musa and Ryan chat about Manchester City’s trip to Anfield (06:56), where they defeated Liverpool, in the first game back since their guilty verdict was announced. The focus isn’t much on the game itself, but more on the reaction at and around the game, the weirdness it uncovered for the Premier League season and what it might mean going forward.

In part two, they move onto Freiburg being top of the Bundesliga (34:49), after Bayern and Dortmund both dropped points on the weekend, as well as the amazing job Julian Schuster has done since succeeding the great Christian Streich. There’s also a bit of La Liga chat, most notably the drama in Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Villarreal, plus lots more.

After a bit of chat about some football stuff from this week, Musa and Ryan are delighted to welcome Jackson Irvine back to the show, following his summer move to Japan.

They chat a bit about the two recent games he played for Australia against Brazil, the move from Hamburg to Osaka and how unique the J.League is. There’s also some stuff on taking a World Cup knockout penalty, some film and music recommends, approaching fatherhood and much, much more!

On today’s episode, Musa and Ryan discuss the news that Manchester City were found guilty of all but one of the 115 Premier League charges against them.

As we head into the extended men’s international break, many teams will be welcoming it, while some will be wishing there were more club games this week.

It’s hard to know which is the case for Atlético and Real Madrid, as Musa and Ryan discuss another home win for Diego Simeone’s side and another impressive Madrid derby (04:45). José Mourinho brought a print out to the press conference and for a second it felt like the first time he was in charge, attempting to distract from a less than stellar performance from his side. 

They then move onto Serie A, including a brilliant top of the table clash between Roma and Inter (30:38). There’s also Premier League chat, with impressive results and performances from Brighton and Brentford, who inflicted 3-0 defeats on Arsenal and Chelsea respectively. Plus, there’s Ligue 1, Bundesliga and more!

A nice quiet weekend in the Premier League then?

Before getting into the noise of the Manchester Derby, Musa and Ryan take a minute or two to chat about Hull City’s impressive start to the season (03:10), which continued with an impressive 2-2 draw away at Chelsea. There’s also praise for Ipswich Town, who have also impressed, this time with a late win at Crystal Palace.

Then it’s onto the derby (12:12) , which saw Manchester City come away from Old Trafford 1-0 winners. The game was largely affected by two big calls: the Phil Foden red and the Erling Haaland goal. Manchester United have already received an apology for the latter, but the failure to respond to the former arguably played as much of a role in their defeat.

There’s also chat about Arsenal’s win away at Sunderland (29:50) to maintain their 100% start, plus some other results (37:00) around the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, WSL and more.

With the European seasons well underway, it was a weekend where many contenders suffered dropped points or upsets.

Musa and Ryan begin with a quick dart around some of these games, including Real Madrid’s defeat to Betis, Atleti losing at Athletic Club, Bayern dropping points and PSG’s winless start continuing. 

They then turn to Arsenal and Chelsea, who played out a hugely entertaining headline fixture at the Emirates, which the Gunners came through victorious (11:13). After analysing the game itself, some changes to Mikel Arteta’s side this season and the way they’ve evolved, they then move on to some chat about Chelsea (28:13). Despite the defeat, they were plenty of things for Xabi Alonso, as well as Chelsea fans, to feel encouraged about, especially missing a key part of their midfield in Moisés Caicedo.

There’s a big shout out for Hull City (40:44), who continued their unbeaten start, and some other results, including Everton’s late equaliser against Manchester United and more late drama in Serie A.

It’s not even September and yet, some seasons have not got off to the start that fans wished.

After multiple places to begin and a bit of chat about more Jude Bellingham brilliance, Musa and Ryan then move on to what has been a difficult start for Spurs and another home defeat, this time to Newcastle United (08:34). They examine quite how much time Roberto de Zerbi will be given, considering the big spending summer, which raised expectations massively.

There’s also some chat about Manchester United’s win over Ipswich (27:22), Liverpool (39:00), plus the Bundesliga’s return, a stuttering start for PSG and much, much more.
