The Premier League was packed full of goals this week, with hat-tricks from Manchester City, Brighton & Tottenham, with Haaland yet again making the Premier League look like a farmers league. Contentious decisions around VAR (surprise surprise) with dodgy penalty calls, goals allowed, and some divisive offside calls. No Euro roundup this week but we promise to bring you a bumper roundup next week.

The second half of the show we have author, writer, and loyal Sutton United fan Johnnie Lowery joins us to talk about his new book 'Match Fit'. 'Match Fit' came out last week and centers around mental health in football, and how we shouldn't;t shy away from the topic, and in fact embrace it with open arms. Some great interviews within the book from the likes of Chris Kirkland & Paul Lambert to name a few. Fascinating stories around Sutton Utd too, from non-league to League 2, how a small club mentality has helped them get where they are, but also how low budgets and finances can affect a club at that level too.
