We are excited to be joined by Joost van der Leij, an academic philosopher with an incredible knowledge and understanding of how philosophy and statistical analysis of football helps to mould and shape a club and the effectiveness of players. Joost has worked with some of the top Dutch teams and we are delighted to have him on our two part special.

Head over to his website at http://footballphilosophy.org/ for more information about his ideas.

Otherwise, we round up the results in the week and we check in with long term favourite Rosco and gauge his somewhat jaded views of Manchester United's chances in the league this year despite the fact they were currently scoring 9 goals against Southampton.

Enjoy.
