WFD Premium Complete Show Plus Podcast show

Summary: Welcome to yet another week of World Football Daily. The football season edges ever-closer to being in full swing with the Premier League kicking off and the Spanish Super Cup playing leg 1 this weekend, which Sevilla defeated Barcelona by a 3-1 scoreline. The defending Premier League champions, Chelsea, kicked off their campaign with a statement-winning performance, 6-0, over West Brom; Tottenham and Manchester City played to a scoreless draw and Joe Hart was the standout Man-of-the-Match; Pepe Reina conceded an own-goal in the 90th minute to drop two points against Arsenal in which the Anfield side played very well with only 10 men for half the game after new signing Joe Cole was sent off for a rash challenge. But the biggest story from the opening weekend may be that newly-promoted side Blackpool, virtually everyone's favorite to finish bottom, defeated Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium 4-0. Steven and Kenny will have more on these stories and much more. Michael Norrish from the Telegraph will join us to give his thoughts on the opening weekend of the Premier League. Manchester United host Newcastle today, which will complete the opening round of fixtures, and we have Mark Ogden of the Telegraph - live from Old Trafford - to preview the game for us. And we don't just stop with one correspondent from Old Trafford, we have Oli Kay from the Times to preview tonight's game and review the opening weekend. Dont forget to show your support for the only club who's season never ends!
