The boys are back and the football banter is already in midseason form. Luis Enrique wants more Champions Leagues, but has he done enough to sit with Pep, Mourinho, Fergie and Ancelotti? Roberto Martinez catches another round of fraud-watch allegations, Xavi takes on the Netherlands job, and the lads make some ruthless Start, Bench or Drop calls featuring Henry, Ronaldinho, Hazard, Iniesta, KDB, Modrić, Van Dijk, Ramos and John Terry.
Plus: Chelsea and Arsenal transfer talk, the Enzo price tag, Kelly’s future, Pedro Neto links, Madueke slander and the universal truth that Arsenal will get bantered no matter what they do. Proper Five Aside chaos.
