The Underdog Football Show breaks down the first three weeks of the Premier League season, with Arsenal and Manchester City still perfect, Liverpool earning its first win, Hull City remaining unbeaten without conceding, Tottenham still searching for a league goal and Manchester United continuing its chaotic start.

Chris Horwedel also looks across Europe, where Barcelona capitalized on losses by Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, while Inter came from two goals down against Napoli and Juventus drew with AC Milan. In MLS, Lionel Messi continues piling up records, Portland delivers a nine-goal thriller, Cavan Sullivan makes more history and Toronto produces another wild draw.

The episode’s lower-league deep dive focuses on Bath City, where supporters who controlled the club for nearly a decade overwhelmingly voted to transfer ownership to a private investment group. It’s a fascinating case study in the strengths and limitations of fan ownership, stadium finance and what sustainable community control can realistically look like.

Finally, the show reviews the end of the transfer window, led by Enzo Fernández’s £125 million move to Manchester City, Malick Fofana choosing Sunderland after a dramatic deadline-day battle, plus smart moves involving Hull, Fulham, Everton, Manchester City Women and West Ham.
