Mark Schwarzer is joined as always by Phil Kitromilides and this week: former Leeds United striker Michael Bridges, as the guys show fine form sifting through such hot topics as:

• Newcastle and Manchester City play out a spectacular match at St. James' Park.
• Now that Kevin De Bruyne is back for the Sky Blues, is it now business time - ie City go full tilt for the title?
• The Basque Derby: in its own uniqueness, is it enough to get Schwarzie and Bridgey over to watch?
• #ALWAYSWATCHGIRONA takes a massive hit - and so too does Bridgey as a great yarn takes a sharp turn!
