Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Philippe Auclair and a first start of the season for Nick Miller to look back at a packed weekend of football.

Starting with the news that Sir Alex Ferguson is recovering in hospital following an emergency operation, we spend much of part one discussing the squeaky bum time that West Brom, Swansea, Southampton and Huddersfield have found themselves in.

Thoughts turn to farewells in part two, with Arsène Wenger and Yaya Touré saying their goodbyes to long-term supporters, and Claude Puel’s future in doubt - again. We cover a remarkable weekend in the Football League, including Vincent Tan’s paid-for crowd-surf.

In part three we speak to Sid Lowe about El Clásico, hear from Archie Rhind-Tutt and Paolo Bandini on the Bundesliga and Serie A respectively, Philippe tells us of Lille’s turnaround in form and we’re kept guessing as to whether Neymar is in the 50% of the PSG squad which Unai Emery has accused of not being particularly fond of intensity in training sessions.

Back on Thursday!
