WE ARE SO BACK… SOME TEAMS AREN’T 😂

We get into City’s resilience, Brighton doing Brighton things, Manchester United’s worrying start under Carrick, and why fitness and mentality are already separating teams. Plus: #FreeMartinelli, Myles Lewis-Skelly hype, Sangaré’s impressive showing, some outrageous early-season predictions, and enough hot takes to get us cancelled before Matchweek 2. New season.

We get into City’s resilience, Brighton doing Brighton things, Manchester United’s worrying start under Carrick, and why fitness and mentality are already separating teams.

New season. Same Five Aside chaos. ⚽🔥
