Hello Checking VAR family and welcome to another fantastic episode of the Checking VAR podcast. Forgive me if the description sounds like the intro we just recorded so it's still fresh in my mind. All the same, this weekend had stories galore! Chelsea's humiliation at the Amex, Arsenal and Newcastle's emphatic victories over lowly Forrest and Villa, Liverpool's long home unbeaten run falling to Leeds, a dramatic comeback from Spurs, professional display from Ten Hag's reds.

The premier league isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon. As a marathon runner knows the start and finish are essential, but so is the middle chunk of the race. This weekend marks the start of that chunk. From now to the start of the World Cup teams will have an unpunctuated stretch of games to show what they are truly made off. For some business as usual might suffice (Arsenal, Man City, Brighton ) for others, this break served as a chance to reload, and re-evaluate, there are a few who might even need complete overall (Leicester, Wolves, Villa) and some who have started putting it together (Spurs, Man United). One this is for sure though, with all the characters introduced ACT II is about to begin in full earnest and we can’t wait to indulge. Follow us on Twitter @checing_var.

Friends of the podcast, in an unprovoked soliloquy our very own Paa Kofi Simpson willfully offered the Gunners as the lead contenders for perennial champions Manchester City and their Premier League crown. In another section (off the record), he alleged that he doesn’t even see Man City as a threat … it's Tuchel's tricky Blues who he fears may offer the sternest opposition to Arteta’s young Gunners. How long will this prediction last? Follow us on Twitter @checking_var.
As expected the opening week of this season was rife with entertainment and subplots as early as the first kick-off of the gameweek. Has Arsenal's soft underbelly disappeared? Does Chelsea need a striker? It’s early but does Liverpool fill you with confidence? How much money did City wire West Ham to fix that game 😂 How do you fix United? Gerrard on fraud watch? Join us on this week's episode of the checking VAR podcast as we discuss all these topics, review last weekend's games, and preview the mouthwatering clashes in gameweek 2.
