Daniel and Have Hope discuss the Premier League charing Manchester City with over 100 infractions of rules. What is the Premier League's motive? Are these criminal charges, and if not, what means do the Premier League have to prove their accusations, and what recourse to Man City have to fight them? More broadly, wasn't this an outcome we could have expected from the start of City's project, and why are these coming now? As football fans, should we be concerned with how governing bodies are regulating new competition? Elsewhere, a heavy earthquake struck in Turkiye and Syria.

We knew Haaland would be good, but now the question is: Can he be stopped? What has Ten Hag changed to win Manchester United two games? Carl gives his profile on new signing Antony. Tuchel is playing Conor Gallagher out of necessity, not desire, and you can see the issues. Can Kane catch Shearer? If Richarlison wants to juggle the ball, why can't he have fun? Daniel gives his theory on Memphis Depay and Dele Alli not using their surnames, and the potential, ancestral consequences of making that decision.

In the second half we preview the 2022/23 season. The "will they won't they" of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. The title race between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The top four battle of Serie A. The top six ordering in the Premier League, and who wins the Champions League?

Liverpool aren't too far ahead of Man United, starting the season with two draws; is the sale of Sadio Mané already costing points. No forward/attacking midfielder has scored for Chelsea, what is Thomas Tuchel's answer? N'Golo Kanté is injured again, Daniel thinks a potential fix is making him a static defensive midfielder. Drama at PSG... does Kylian Mbappé care if it's still Neymar's team? And we take your questions on Tuchel v Antonio Conte, the Premier League's most interesting players, strategy after making a big sale, and how we'd fix watching football on television.

Talking Tactics discuss Robert Lewandowski's mission to leave Bayern Munich. Is Barcelona his destination, and if so does it work? We imagine if Barça's finances weren't ruined, and they could pair Ousmane Dembélé with Lewandowski. Romelu Lukaku is said to want an Inter Milan return. While it might make sense on the pitch, does it make sense off of it? We consider the amount of money Chelsea spent to get him, and whether leaving after one season is plausible. Lionel Messi scored five goals against Estonia. We wonder how many goals Messi could've scored playing for a European nation, as South America's level of competition varies far less, with few chances to play non-professionals.

In the second half, Onuora lays out his filmmaking journey, from school, to stage, to acting, producing, and directing films, and how that led to travel documentaries on African history. He's working on a new documentary called "km.t" which sparks a healthy conversation about Egypt, Egyptology, and African history.

What is the point of Chelsea's football, and does Thomas Tuchel have any solutions short of "buy more quality?" Tottenham look scary, but can you overcome the fact they're Spurs?

Musa shares about his grandfather managing the Uganda national team, and his assumed completion of an Acholi to English dictionary. The focus then shifts to writing. How did Musa plan his writing career, what are his processes, does he have a preference for writing or talking, and how African journalists in the West can be boxed into only discussing race if not careful.
