Howe-ay The Fads, Invincibles Day, Internationals, Xavi Nostalgia, Aaron Rodgers & Smacking Fools

Left Field

You take a week off and all hell breaks loose in the Premier League.
Left, right and centre, managers have lost their jobs with Norwich and Aston Villa following the lead of Newcastle and Spurs - the managerial merry-go-round always spins faster just before an international break. We mull over the comings and goings and what might happen next at the clubs affected.
A different type of manager has also come under the spotlight this week - social media managers. Following a cock-up by Bruno Fernandes' team and a reveal-all interview by Manchester United's CEO of Media, we talk football's obsession with fan engagement and the weird path it's leading us all down.
On the pitch, West Ham are looking pretty tasty. Up to third with a win over Liverpool they remind us of 2016 vintage Leicester. Surely they can't challenge for the title? Or maybe they can?
Elsewhere in football, we cast an eye over some of the international break's least fascinating matches, weigh up the job facing Xavi, laugh at Jose Mourinho and question who has a hand steady enough to tackle Daniel Sturridge's hairline.
After the break, we catch up with the racism storm at Yorkshire Cricket, shake our head in disbelief at Aaron Rodgers' Covid calamity and discuss who we'd most like to smack in the face.
Enjoy the show!
