Blokes on the Bench host Andy Richardson and the rest of the blokes discuss week one of the new 2018/2019 Premier League season.

And while West Ham also spent some cash during the summer, Liverpool beat them comfortably. City continues to be in top form beating Arsenal, while United won over Leicester City at Old Trafford on opening day. Will this silence critics of Mourinho who by all accounts had a less than perfect transfer window? All that and all the rest of the league news.

Blokes on the Bench: Week 29

Blokes on the Bench host Andy Richardson and the Blokes discuss the tragic death of Forentina captain, and Italian International Davide Astori, who passed away suddenly this morning. Also the introduction of V.A.R. during a midweek FA cup Clash between Spurs and Rochdale had some controversy. We discuss how this may impact the world cup coming up this summer. In Premier League results City dominate against Chelsea, Liverpool move into 2nd with a win over Newcastle, at least until Monday when Manchester United travel to Crystal Palace. Arsenal have their third defeat in seven days which begs the question is it time Arsene Wenger leaves the Emirates? Spurs also continue on their winning ways against Huddersfield and with both Kane and Deli in the England Squad for this summer, we ask just how good are they? That and all the rest of the games from the weekend.
