    168 | Why Kylian Mbappe Shouldn't Win The Ballon D'Or
    20 Oct 2026
    The Ballon d’Or, the award Jonathan Wilson despises most. Our voteless trio discuss the merits of a shortlist that includes Rory Smith favourite Julian Quinones and ponders why the race is so open this year. What does it say about how we consume football? How do we weight individual success? Why shouldn't Fabian Ruiz collect the big gold gong at the London Palladium? Join James Horncastle, Wilson and Smith, AKA the journalists France Football overlooked for the voting panel in Italy, England and Scotland, to find out why Kylian Mbappe's fingerprints will not be all over an award that presumably had to be moved from Paris for its own safety.

    167 | Why Does The Premier League Need Brighton And Brentford?
    16 Oct 2026
    The Premier League's two smartest, most upwardly-mobile teams, Brighton and Brentford, are currently third and fourth in the table. Is it too soon to talk about Champions League football? What do we actually mean by 'well-run’, and does it go further than just having an algorithm to identify talent? And given the Manchester City scandal, why is the success of these teams potentially so valuable to the league itself? Jack Pitt-Brooke is joined by John Brewin and Rory Smith, plus a special cameo.

    166 | PSG Have Become The Establishment. Man City Went A Different Way
    13 Oct 2026
    PSG are a superclub backed by an oil state who have come to dominate European football. Not dissimilar then to Manchester City. Yet, ahead of their Champions League meeting this week, one club is facing serious sanctions for breaching financial regulations and the other is not. Like City, the French champions have been accused of inflating related-party sponsorships to fund squad building, but PSG escaped sanctions and now club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is one of European football's top powerbrokers. So how have the Qataris managed to manoeuvre in a way that their Gulf rivals from the UAE have not? Jonathan Wilson is joined by Miguel Delaney and Tariq Panja.

    165 | Liverpool v Man City: It Means Everything And Potentially Completely Nothing
    9 Oct 2026
    Manchester City travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday in a game that marks the first appearance of the boys in sky blue since the Premier League verdict dropped and opened the public's eyes to Sham City. A cauldron, a bear pit, a house of flying Kopperberg bottles, it's fair to say it will be lively on Merseyside. Does it mean more because it's Liverpool? Do the yet-to-be-defined sanctions render the whole thing meaningless? Rory Smith is joined by Jack Pitt-Brooke and John Brewin for this one.

    164 | What The Manchester City Case Means For The Premier League
    6 Oct 2026
    With Manchester City having been found guilty of systematically cheating their way to Premier League domination, what are the broader implications for competition itself? How robust will one of England's major cultural exports be in the face of its biggest ever scandal? But also has its previously successful formula of light-touch regulation and openness to foreign investment been the Premier League's undoing in the City case? Jack Pitt-Brooke is joined by James Horncastle and Miguel Delaney.

    163 | Is The Manchester City Case The Biggest Story In Premier League History?
    2 Oct 2026
    Trying to place the scale of the Manchester City cheating scandal into context is not straightforward given there is almost no comparable event in the history of English football. However other historic scandals do exist, Calciopoli in Italy is one, but there are more closer to home too. Jack Pitt-Brooke, Jonathan Wilson and James Horncastle discuss where the City case lands among all of that, as well as what it means for the club's fans and the integrity of the Premier League.

    Manchester City’s epic run of glory lies in ruins after a long awaited verdict reveals the success was built on a mountain of sham contracts and more than £850m in side income from its Abu Dhabi royal overlords.
