Liverpool head into the international break on top, Spurs squander a 2-0 lead and Bukayo Saka puts on a masterclass posing the question, is he world class?!
Ben and Tom are joined by regular guest Watto to look back at the weekend’s football as Arne Slot’s Liverpool ensured top spot going into the latest Premier League break. That’s nine wins from ten games so far for Slot, whilst there continues to be problems for Oliver Glasner and his winless Crystal Palace side…
Elsewhere, Ange Postecoglou’s team let a 2-0 lead slip away at Brighton to lose, whilst their North London rivals Arsenal came from behind in Aaron Ramsdale’s return to beat Southampton 3-1.
Marco Silva won the tactical battle on the touchline, but it was Pep Guardiola’s Man City who claimed a 3-2 win over Fulham, extending their home unbeaten run to 50 in all competitions.
There was a first win for Leicester this season, West Ham thumped Ipswich 4-1 and Brentford scored AGAIN inside 90 seconds as they came out on top in an 8-goal thriller versus Wolves.
Anthony Gordon returned to Goodison Park and missed a penalty in Newcastle’s 0-0 draw with Everton, should he have been the man to take that spot-kick?
Chelsea shared the spoils with Nottingham Forest on Sunday, whilst the pressure continues to mounth on Erik ten Hag as his United team drew with Aston Villa.
There’s all that plus a HUGE W for one of the lads in the quiz, so stay tuned to find out who…

Spurs fan here – Ange does that in every interview tbh. Always looking to the floor/ away when answering – not just cause he lost or was raging 👍🏼
As an Arsenal fan I would love Arsenal to win it this year( obviously) but also I would like it to happen so Saka can prove all his haters that he is a world class player!!! COYG!!! 😊😊😊
Palmer is not world class
Gordon is a Liverpool fan for sure even though he was at our academy
You can't say Palmer is world class but Saka isn't. Agree with Tom that phrase is thrown too easily but Saka at 23 has hit consistent figures in the last 3 PL seasons, improving each year along with Arsenal's leagues and points position. Palmer didn't win anything with Chelsea or England, same as Saka so Ben's metrics are completely for judging a player who is world class.
sakas the best winger off the ball and is one of the best wingers on the ball too. can play on either wing and fulback too. which most players cannot. hes had 3 world class seasons now and is one of englands best players, has won england player of the year last 2 times
How is Saka not World Class because he hasn’t won anything? But Palmer is no question?
The audacity not to talk about that Jiminez assist.
Sorry if Palmer is world class then Saka is. Same people saying Foden last season, and as soon as you see him out of the City machine you see how limited he is. Palmer has proven nothing. Never even scored against a big team
The questions were so easy.
That quiz was insane. Well done, you made Fozzy ragequit IRL 😀
Why nobody talking about Aston Villa’s injuries 😂 is it because we don’t cry like Newcastle? No konsa no mcginn no onana no Ramsey a half fit Bailey cash first game in 6 weeks, all them should be back after international break along with mings and kamara
Ben
Palmer is world class but Saka isn’t
You’ve had a stinker there
Your reasoning stinks
Saka has dragged arsenal for YEARS
Both are world class or neither are imo
Either these lot don't actually watch Arsenal games, or they just spew nonsense, because their take on Havertz, Saka, and Arsenal overall is so horrible lmao
the quiz… wow… fair play
So Ange sits on the sideline and can't do anything but everyone expects Ten Hag to come on and score the goals himself. lmao Love the double standards between managers.
Evans getting MOTM and Rashford having a stinker with a bad attitude perfectly demonstrates the rot that's happened at the club in the past decade. Players like Rashford need binned off and younger players with the mentality of Evans need brought in.
Why should Ange care what Spurs fans think? He’s tried to change the mentality at the club only to watch those same fans do the Poznan with the City fans while their players laid down in fear of Arsenal winning the league.
Aston Villa had a magical night in Europe last week and Ange could have been there with Tottenham if they stopped caring about their rivals and started playing to win at all costs
Solankes not Spurs problem. Having to rely on Timo Werner is
Has anyone seen this video after Erik Ten Hag has been given yet another chance by the United board 😂😂
Washed them on the quiz 😂😂🎉
Havertz has more non penalty goals and assists than Haaland in the premier league in 2024.
I know it’s his own quiz but did anyone else feel very awkward and it look a bit rude to Jamie when Ben just waved it off and walked out?
By your logic Kane has never been world class.guys will say anything to dismiss sakas ability
The saka hate will make the trophies he will undoubtedly win all the more glorious. But im sure these lads will still find some silly reason to not acknowledge him!
Watto is the best! He’s the star of the show!
Saka world class debate is dumb. Were Mahrez and Kante world class the season they won with Leicester…? YES. Saka has been at that level for the past 3 years, and now with odegaard out we can see more of his output
Day 1 – dog on the couch episode !
The football bits great lads but wer just here for the Fozzy Meltdown 😂😂😂😂 gotta love he hates losing. Great episode ❤
Cole Palmer is overrated with the most cringe goal celebration and worst haircut I’ve ever seen 😂😂
When he played against us (cherries🍒) you barely knew he was on the pitch. Lewis Cook had him in his pocket the entire game!
I love how they move the goal post when it comes to Arsenal players. Cole Palmer has done nothing and Saka who have been doing it for club and country for years only has world class stats but not all round play 😂
27:53 I’m sorry have we been robbed of having a dog on this podcast the whole time?!?
Best episode I’ve ever seen
Gordon is not a boyhood Everton fan lads lol he's a Liverpool fan which is why there's even more anger towards him from Everton fans, also considering he spent all of this summer trying to get a move to Liverpool from Newcastle it's understandable why they don't like him
Wheres goldbridge these days
Dog stealing the show… loved it when sniffing the gloves😂 definitely a keeper 🐶🥰
No time stamps is a miss
Cole Palmer is world class but Saka is not?
You guys are discriminating, but not on footballing ability.
Ben even asking "will liverpool be there at the end of the season" is so offensive to liverpool…we've never not been there in the last 10 years. the only team that won a title off pep. won a champions league.. and people are acting like we're some up and coming new team. its hilarious
