Newcastle chaos continues and Pep refuses to apologise - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Darren Fletcher brings you the Friday Football Social, discussing all the big talking points from the Premier League.

We have reaction to Newcastle’s 1-1 draw at home to Leeds, with Michael Brown and Vicki Sparks joining us from St James’ Park.

Former Newcastle midfielder and West Ham assistant coach Kevin Nolan is alongside Darren to dissect what the future holds for Steve Bruce after another turbulent week off the field.

Nolan also discusses West Ham’s strong start in the Europa League, after they beat Dinamo Zagreb in their opening group game. He says Declan Rice can become one of the best in the world, giving us insight into what the England star is like as a character in the dressing room. And we look ahead to the threat Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United will pose to David Moyes’ side following their loss to Young Boys in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola has caused quite the stir amongst Manchester City fans after saying he wanted more of them at the Etihad for Saturday’s match against Southampton, with just over 38,000 turning up for the win over RB Leipzig midweek.

Loukas Gregory from the 1864 City Supporters Group drops by to discuss whether the relationship between the manager and supporters has been damaged with Guardiola refusing to apologise for his comments.
