The Premier League returns, Man City punishment needs carful thought and where do Bellingham and Kane rank? Are Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham in your top five England greats? Martin Samuel picks the best England players he's seen and Tony Cascarino picks the best five he's played against. Manchester City plan to appeal, but if they are not successful could their punishment sink them as a club? Messi retired in front of 80,000 adoring fans. Cristiano Ronaldo left in protest at being an used substitute, will his career end in a whimper? And the Premier League finally returns with some big games this weekend - Liverpool City, Man Utd Spurs and will Gyokores replace Havertz for Arsenal? Tom Clarke and Gregor Robertson join Tony Cascarino and Martin Samuel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
