Referees WRONG AGAIN, Promoted Clubs PERFORM, Youngster SHINE, & A Goodbye from the Gantry

On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Martin and Neil get stuck into the newly promoted teams, and their great starts to the Premier League Season.

Then it's VOICE OF PASSION, and who'd have thought that Neil would take issue with referees... again?

Next, it's Martin's Letter from the Gantry, which is a goodbye and tribute to the legendary Gerry Harrison.

After that, the return of Three of the Best, where youngsters Max Dowman, Rio Ngumoha and Estêvão all have their moments to shine! 

And we finish with Feedback, where Martin and Neil go through some of your comments - including from our recent episode with the one and only John Terry.
