England finished their World Cup qualifying campaign with a perfect record: eight wins from eight, 22 goals scored and none conceded. But instead of praise, much of the conversation has centred around Jude Bellingham and his reaction to being substituted. Has the reaction been overblown, why are the media going after him, and is Thomas Tuchel managing the situation well?

The Premier League returns this weekend with the first North London Derby of the season as Arsenal host Tottenham at the Emirates. How important is a win for Arsenal ahead of a tough run of fixtures? How will Thomas Frank set Spurs up to cause an upset, and how much would it win over the fans?

And with the derby this Sunday, the boys also rank the Top 10 Derbies in the UK from the biggest rivalries to the most underrated clashes.

Rory and Buvey are joined by Flav and Harry to discuss all this and more in the latest episode of The Club.

It’s international week and the trio are back in the studio. Adam, Buvey and Rory review the Premier League season so far and share five things we’ve learned: is it now a two-horse title race? Are Man United genuine top-four challengers? Is Eddie Howe in trouble at Newcastle?

The lads also rank their Top 10 Signings of the Season — from Bryan Mbeumo to Jack Grealish and more. Plus, with Real Madrid’s teenage sensation Endrick struggling for minutes under Xabi Alonso and set to leave on loan in January, they ask: is the term ‘Wonderkid’ overused?

All that and more in the latest episode of The Club.

Chelsea eased past Tottenham with a 1-0 win on Saturday — and at the heart of it all was Moises Caicedo. Is he really the best number 6 in world football right now?

Elsewhere, Manchester United drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest after taking the lead. Did that result take the shine off Amorim’s recent progress? Are United actually turning a corner or just holding their ground?

After last week’s Top 10 Managers in the World debate, Adam and Flav revisit Rory and Buvey’s list — reshuffling and ranking the best managers right now. They also look ahead to the weekend and preview the lunchtime kick off between Tottenham and Man United.

And lastly, the lads build their All-Time Champions League XI of players who never won it — a team full of legends and heartbreak.
