John Murray, Ian Dennis & Ali Bruce-Ball are reunited as they discuss the week's football events, including Lisandro Martinez's criticism of the Manchester United hierarchy and Manchester City's Champions League defeat to PSG.

Does Luis Enrique now recognise John? How did Ali come close to missing a big commentary last season? And which member of the team was Martin Lewis' phone-a-friend on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Can Ian level up the standings in this week's Clash of the Commentators? And there are more entries to the Great Glossary of Football.
