Daniel and Have Hope discuss Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United. Graham Potter made an early (but correct) tactical change at the expense of Marc Cucurella. How many items of clothes are too many to take off if you're Matteo Kovacic? Cristiano Ronaldo is back in training with his teammates. Victor Osimhen's stunning strike beats Roma, but it reminds Have Hope that Nigeria aren't at the World Cup. In the second half, should Iran be banned from the World Cup - and if so, should they be replaced by Ukraine. If a precedent were set of removing nations who've committed human rights violations or sold weapons of war to others, who else should FIFA remove? Lastly, would it not be advantageous to offer Iranian players a platform to help lift the voices of Iranian women in their country, given the size and scale of the World Cup?

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Karim Benzema winning the 2022 Ballon d'Or from France Football. Why Benzema cannot be projected upon. Have Hope thinks the Messi and Cristiano duopoly is over, but is the Haaland and Mbappe duopoly on its way? Have Hope responds to tweets/videos from the past about Benzema brickness. And rating how well Benzema pulled off the Tupac look. In the second half, a discussion about Liverpool 1-0 Manchester City, Arsenal's four-point lead, Kepa and Mount looking better for Chelsea, and Barcelona and Real Madrid exposing more weaknesses for Xavi. Lastly, what is the worst miss ever? Send any suggestions you have.

Daniel and Have Hope discuss reports Kylian Mbappé wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain. Does it make sense? What club(s) should try for Mbappé if indeed he wants to leave Paris? Arsenal are top of the Premier League, are they for real? Liverpool don't look good at all. Is it Fenway Sports Group's fault, or is Jurgen Klopp to blame for his management style. Chelsea played well against Wolverhampton, but the story of the day is whether the Blues can afford to let N'Golo Kanté leave, and what role the French midfielder should play moving forward in his career.

Daniel is joined by Muhammad Butt (freelance writer, formerly Squawka) to discuss his dual loyalties of Barcelona and Manchester United. The weekend's Manchester Derby, and how Manchester City are a built in Guardiola's image. Could we have foreseen Haaland's start, and what does he add to City's playmaking ability? Martial is the glue in Manchester United's attack when compared to Cristiano and Rashford. Casemiro benched. Chelsea steal two points at Crystal Palace. Arsenal are atop the Premier League, but light in midfield. And we take your questions about Liverpool's midfield, being the GOAT, and revising Bundesliga tax amongst others.

Daniel, Have Hope, and Carl discuss Jose Mourinho appearing in a Stormzy video. John Obi Mikel retires. Will Graham Potter use a different array of Chelsea players than Thomas Tuchel did? Should managers and players watch the Champions League? What stat would we invent if we could invent one? Can we get Have Hope to talk about Iwobi? Which rapper is Kevin De Bruyne?

Daniel, Have Hope, and Carl discuss some Juventus problems, and Mourinho getting sent off. Why aren't Bayern Munich winning games in the Bundesliga? Marco Reus is injured ahead of a major international competition, but should be okay. What are the attacking options Brazil can take to the World Cup, and is there enough space for everyone in the squad? Does Haaland make the cross, or does the cross make Haaland? We end with a conversation on Spanish racism, Vinicius Jr, and Atletico Madrid.

Daniel and Carl discuss Liverpool beating Bournemouth 9-0, whether this is the jumpstart Klopp needed, and how Premier League money effects the leagues below. 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.

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Liverpool losing to Man United. Should we look at Klopp or Fenway Sports Group to properly form our diagnosis? What's up with Van Dijk: His last four outings haven't been customary. Ten Hag knows how to exploit teams who leaves space, what about ones that don't? Newcastle United 3-3 Man City: Why are dribblers placed lower in the footballing hierarchy than through-ball specialists? Chelsea have neither dribblers nor through-ball specialists, they needed a couple vs. Leeds United. Mendy's mistake is deeper than him. Neuer is eating during the game. And we take your questions on banning headers, can Mbappé become a horseman, and why Have Hope doesn't do Sevilla post-match reactions on his YouTube channel.

Daniel and Have Hope discuss Manchester United's terrible start, and where the stumbling giant goes from here (here being 20th). 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.

In this episode of "Talking with..." Daniel sits down with Musa Okwonga of the Stadio Podcast. They discuss how Musa became a Manchester United supporter. How the club's future was altered by a horse. Why it's difficult for fans to protest. And the Erik ten Hag era. 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. They end with a quick-fire round, where we discover an animal Musa would choose to be for 24 hours, his favourite skill move, and what his dream music festival would look like amongst other things.

Daniel and Carl discuss Arsenal's encouraging win at Crystal Palace, and why Ghana need all the help they can get. Liverpool's unconvincing draw against Fulham. Do points early in the season weigh the same as points later in the season? Manchester City are working things out, but Erling Haaland is already terrifying. 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? Manchester United start the Erik ten Hag era with a loss to Brighton; the same issues are appearing which have always existed: What can be done about them? Why don't England hype managers like Graham Potter the same way they do their players?

Daniel, Have Hope, and Carl discuss the England Women's National Team winning the country's first major tournament since 1966 after beating Germany 2-1. We talk about what the win means moving forward, whether society can be trusted to support women's football outside of national interest, or if that question is even relevant. 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? We end remembering the legacy of civil rights pioneer and NBA legend Bill Russell, who passed away this weekend aged 88.

Daniel is joined by Edoba and Abdullahi, two of the "hiatused" Complicated Chelsea Show's four members. In a Chelsea heavy show, the trio discuss pre-season troubles, transfer troubles, squad-building troubles, historical troubles, and troubles to come if these troubles aren't solved quickly and/or effectively. We also took some Chelsea-related questions, and touched briefly on Barcelona, and the World Cup's affect on the upcoming season..

Daniel and Have Hope are joined by friend of the pod Red to discuss what is happening with Cristiano Ronaldo. Does a move to Atletico Madrid make more sense than Sporting? Barcelona announced Robert Lewandowski: how are Barça having the best summer transfer window while being financially ruined? Chelsea signed Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly in the week, but Chelsea fans are more focused on the academy players. Red seems to think Cristiano is the most under-appreciated athlete ever, and we end with Marcus Rashford and Daniel Kaluuya's comments about racism in England, and how Rashford's acceptance of an Order of the British Empire may detract from needed honesty when placed in these conversations.

Daniel and Carl discuss a Manchester City fan chasing Pep Guardiola on a bike, and what about celebrity and social media culture allows for these moments.

Michel Platini beat the feds. The Women's Euros and Women's AFCON are in full swing, and we take your questions on if American athletes could be remixed to play football.
