In this week's show we speak to Bury FC fan Jamie Hoyle (@jtahoyle) about the club's fascinating recent history, which culminated in it being hours from liquidation this past weekend. We speak about the club's recent financial troubles and the ownership merry-go-round which led to it being bought from a pound, and how they still earned promotion last season despite lack of payment and financial issues. Jamie tells about Bury's impact on his family and the community around it, and why relegation doesn't matter once there's a football club there to support.Elsewhere, Kevin, Cian and Phil talk about Liverpool's emphatic win over Arsenal and the defensive frailties that continue to hurt the Gunners, Newcastle's shock win over Spurs and why Christian Eriksen simply must start, and we touch on James Maddison's reported flirting with Ireland, and why others - and not he - could make the switch in the coming years.
