The Italian football expert James Horncastle - who appears regularly on BT Sport and the Guardian Football Weekly podcast as well as writing for ESPN - joins stand-in host Adam Drury in the studio to discuss:

  • Conte's summer transfer market frustrations 
  • How David Luiz has turned his reputation around
  • Diego Costa's controlled aggression
  • Who he believes to be the best striker in the Premier League
  • The rejuvenation of Victor Moses
  • Whether the number of Italian managers that win the Premier League is a coincidence
  • Whether Leicester could be relegated, and if Claudio Ranieri is culpable
  • The responses Betway's Twitter and Facebook followers gave to this week's 'finish this sentence': Apart from Ali Dia, the most fraudulent signing in Premier League history is..."
  • The fractured relationship between players and journalists in England, and whether the same problems exist abroad
  • How he came to be an authority on Italian football
  • Life as a non-playing pundit, and whether that is still used against him
  • The success of BT Sport's Champions League Goals show
  • His Insider 5 - which this week is a five-a-side team comprised of the best Premier League Italian imports

James also takes on Alan in the recently-revamped Wise Al, which involves the two placing a treble on the weekend's games, with the winner being the one whose bet returns most profit (if at all).
