Our brand new presenter Max Rushden is joined by the loyal Barry Glendenning, the devoted Gregg Bakowski and the faithful Jonathan Wilson for the first Football Weekly of the 2017-18 football season.

We begin by unpacking the latest star attraction to turn his back on his long-term employers, Neymar, with Sid Lowe.

Next we tackle the transfer window as a whole, considering whether Tottenham are actually being smart by not spending, and Manchester City’s pursuit to own every elite full-back in the modern game.

We take in the Lionesses’ status as favourites at Euro 2017 , speaking with Caroline Barker who’s following the action in Utrecht, and Football League expert John Ashdown joins us to offer his Championship rundown ahead of the opening weekend.

Finally we cover the announcement that the Premier League have banned creative pitch patterns, and the story that Roma have launched the shirt Francesco Totti wore in his last match … into space.
