In this week's episode, we discuss the appointment of Antonio Conte as the new Spurs manager. Despite an encouraging track record when it comes to trophies, can he lead the trophyless Spurs to some silverware? And is it a blessing in disguise for United who was also linked with the Italian manager?

Speaking of United, City went to Old Trafford and took care of the Reds with ease. We'll discuss the gap in quality between United and the top 3. Why was United ever considered a contender in the first place? Is it an issue of tactics or personnel ? or both? Spoiler alert: It's probably both.

Lastly, we'll discuss the recent Ballon d'Or. Rumors has it that Messi has already been told he was the winner. This might sound silly but....does he deserve it? What about Salah and Benzema? And should Jorginho even be on the shortlist? One of us seems to think that it's a travesty that he's even being considered!
