The Preview Show: Guys, can anyone help Erik?
•
The Barclays is BACK! Pete, Vish and Luke welcome the return of our favourite ostentatious marketing exercise by deciding who will celebrate a goal this weekend with a tribute to that Turkish Olympic shooter.
Don’t worry though, there’s plenty to look forward to this season. We’ve got Andrew Tate hosting Match of the Day’s Brat summer, Erik ten Hag frantically spinning some expensive plates and Ipswich Town bringing the style - and hopefully some substance - back to the big time. It’s your blockbuster Barclays preview, so join us!
