We also discuss the recent study illustrating the extent of racial bias in football commentary.
Players with ‘darker skin tone’ are six times more likely to be praised for power, three times more for speed, than ‘white skin tone’ players, who are praised for work ethic and intelligence

Jack Pitt-Brooke joins us to talk about the state of play at Man City. Pep says Kevin de Bruyne can get better “of course” – but how? Has Phil Foden finally made a decisive breakthrough into the starting team? And where did it go wrong between the club and Leroy Sané?
I feel like City losing Sane at 24 makes this the best/most valuable player they’ve lost in the modern era. Dzeko was 29 when he went, Tevez was 29. I know Sane has gone cheap but he’s basically a £100m player. https://t.co/VEEdW54wEL
