Burnham's Pints, City's Punishments & Everton's Push for Europe | Blue Monday

Les is joined by Foxy, standing in for Dave, to discuss Everton's unbeaten start to the season and the rivals for Europe. The lads also dig into Andy Burnham's proposals to overturn the long-standing drinking ban at men's football matches, and look at the charges Man City have been found guilty of in relation to Everton's previous PSR breaches.

We kick off with Jordan Pickford, who somehow keeps getting better for England even when he's not playing. After James Trafford shipped three against Spain, we dig into a remarkable stat: Pickford hasn't started any of England's last five games where they've conceded three or more.

Then it's the race for Europe. Bournemouth, Sunderland, Palace and Brighton are all juggling European football, and the Thursday-Sunday grind starts after the break. Can Everton take points off tired legs? We look at the early surprises (Brentford and Leeds), the slow starters (is the heat already on Alonso and Carrick?), and whether Villa can cope without Rogers, Tielemans and Watkins.

Off the pitch, Evertonian PM Andy Burnham wants to scrap football's 40-year-old ban on drinking in your seat. Many fans love it, police hate it. Would you take a pint to your seat?

And finally, Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges. Everton were charged, sentenced and docked 8 points in a single season for one overspend. City's case took over three years, and there's still no punishment. What should happen next?
