On this week's show I celebrate the end of the longest Interlull ever, and talk to journalist Daniel Storey about the the demands being placed on players this season. We chat about the prevalence of muscular injuries, unnecessary friendlies, Covid risks, the pressure on international managers which dictate their team selections, the five subs rule, as well as Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, and how he needs to change things in trying circumstances.

Then I'm joined by Paul from the Leeds That podcast to chat about Sunday's trip to Elland Road, being back in the Premier League, some interesting similarities between Marcelo Bielsa and Mikel Arteta, their hopes for the season and lots more.
