I tell you what, those bleak summer weeks of no football seem

:00:24.:00:28.

The Football League, the English League Cup,

:00:29.:00:33.

the Premier League, the Champions League

:00:34.:00:35.

It feels like it's kicking off all over the place

:00:36.:00:40.

Here's what's coming up on today's show.

:00:41.:00:49.

England international and Arsenal pro Alex Scott is a surprise

:00:50.:00:53.

challenger at the world's first indoor football theme park.

:00:54.:00:57.

Super fan Noah gives us the lowdown on his team,

:00:58.:01:00.

And we look forward to a great weekend of Premier League action.

:01:01.:01:06.

Loads to get excited about in this week's show, but wait

:01:07.:01:09.

Yes, we're kicking off with the headline hitters.

:01:10.:01:19.

Manchester City all but assured progress in the Champions

:01:20.:01:21.

League with a 5-0 win against Steaua Bucharest.

:01:22.:01:25.

Even by Aguero's standards, he had an extraordinary game.

:01:26.:01:29.

First he missed not one, but two penalties

:01:30.:01:32.

and then went on to score a hat-trick.

:01:33.:01:35.

As if running the most high-profile race in the world wasn't enough

:01:36.:01:43.

to keep you occupied, Usain Bolt, the fastest man

:01:44.:01:48.

in history and a massive Man United fan still found time to tweak this

:01:49.:01:51.

Right before winning gold in the 100 metres final.

:01:52.:01:57.

And, lastly, you've ever thought that you had a bad day,

:01:58.:02:01.

spare a thought for Blackburn defender Shane Duffy.

:02:02.:02:10.

own goals and got sent off in a defeat to Cardiff.

:02:11.:02:13.

Add to that the own goal he scored against Wigan and he finds

:02:14.:02:16.

himself joint top scorer in the Championship,

:02:17.:02:18.

although all of his have been

:02:19.:02:20.

Now, from time to time, I like to rhyme about footballing

:02:21.:02:29.

stats, so flex your mental muscle with this little puzzle and see

:02:30.:02:32.

Which basically means I'm going to set you a little

:02:33.:02:36.

See if you can figure out which footballer I'm talking

:02:37.:02:39.

about and I'll reveal the answer at the end of the show.

:02:40.:02:43.

Through scoring goals I made my name.

:02:44.:02:45.

I've played for many different clubs and hold

:02:46.:02:52.

In Canada my team was Toronto, but Big Sam called

:02:53.:02:56.

I'm small and fast and catch the eye,

:02:57.:03:00.

With the Premier League's return last week, it was our first

:03:01.:03:07.

chance to check out some of the new arrivals.

:03:08.:03:09.

Middlesbrough's Alvaro Negredo got off to a great goal-scoring start,

:03:10.:03:15.

as did Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he netted Man United's

:03:16.:03:17.

Amazingly the big Swede has now scored on his debut

:03:18.:03:23.

in Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, the Champions League

:03:24.:03:26.

But he's not the only one to make a good first impression

:03:27.:03:30.

COMMENTARY: Anthony Martial, meantime, runs into Skrtel,

:03:31.:03:36.

This to open his account in English football.

:03:37.:04:24.

Oh, seeing Ravanelli there really took me back a few years.

:04:25.:04:46.

Like many of you, when I was growing up, I was obsessed with football.

:04:47.:04:54.

I was also inspired to put pen to paper and draw my heroes.

:04:55.:05:00.

In fact, I've even managed to dig out a few of my masterpieces,

:05:01.:05:05.

so here is the White Feather himself.

:05:06.:05:07.

Here are a few of my Leeds United favourites.

:05:08.:05:13.

There is Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, current manager of QPR.

:05:14.:05:16.

And David Hopkin and Alf Inge Haaland.

:05:17.:05:18.

They've not fared too bad, have they?

:05:19.:05:20.

And anyway, this got me thinking, I would love to see your footballing

:05:21.:05:25.

artwork, so whether it's a player, a manager, a stadium or even kits

:05:26.:05:29.

and badges, why not send us your soccer sketches?

:05:30.:05:33.

We will try and show some of the best ones on Kickabout soon.

:05:34.:05:50.

And of course we always love to see your footie videos,

:05:51.:05:53.

so here's a few corkers you've sent in recently.

:05:54.:06:00.

Over the chairs and into the top corner.

:06:01.:06:03.

And I call this one Finn and the bin.

:06:04.:06:11.

Super slow Mo for the acrobatics of Kristian. Surely that's miles over.

:06:12.:06:37.

It is dipping. Oh, I say. Finally, pick that one out. Let's have

:06:38.:06:46.

another look. Great stuff. Have any of you seen that thing when you swap

:06:47.:06:51.

faces with someone? Here is what happened when me and Laura Trott

:06:52.:06:58.

swapped our good looks. Crikey. Have you ever thought what other sports

:06:59.:07:03.

would look like when mixed with footie. We sent England

:07:04.:07:08.

international Alex Scott to answer that very question. Hello, I am Alex

:07:09.:07:17.

Scott. I am a music lover. I have played a bit of football. Welcome to

:07:18.:07:25.

the world's first indoor football theme park. It is great but

:07:26.:07:33.

something is missing. I need a challenge. I need someone to take

:07:34.:07:41.

down. Scotty, have no fear, Tyler West is here.

:07:42.:07:52.

I'm heading straight for the bull's-eye.

:07:53.:08:04.

This is the Golden bowl, this is it. 90th minute of the FA Cup final.

:08:05.:08:11.

Tyler West steps up to the mark. 47 to 11. I was trying to go easy on

:08:12.:08:34.

you. On this challenge, it is football. It is simple, we have got

:08:35.:08:45.

two attempts. I want the last challenge, so it is only fair that I

:08:46.:08:55.

go first. Three out of six. That's good enough. It's a spare.

:08:56.:09:14.

Same place again. Technically I'm 2-0 up. I will be nice and say it is

:09:15.:09:35.

a winner takes all. Bring it on. Five, four, three, two.

:09:36.:09:45.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Come on, take a breath. How are you

:09:46.:10:09.

feeling? You know what? Fairplay. Winner takes all. It was fun. All

:10:10.:10:20.

about fun and Fairplay! Great hustle from Scotty there. I always knew she

:10:21.:10:26.

had Tyler in her back pocket. There is a wealth of fixtures to look

:10:27.:10:30.

forward to this weekend. Take a look at this lot. Mike pick of the bunch

:10:31.:10:37.

is when Leicester City host Arsenal. They both lost their opening game

:10:38.:10:41.

and if last year was aching to go pie, this one could be a stronger.

:10:42.:10:47.

-- anything to go by. There is going to be some great

:10:48.:11:16.

match ups and I have picked out two key battles. First it is Alexis

:11:17.:11:24.

Sanchez against Riyad Mahrez. Sanchez was injured last season and

:11:25.:11:30.

he didn't get as many goals or assists, whereas Riyad Mahrez was on

:11:31.:11:38.

fire in both areas. Next up, it is natural monorail against Danny

:11:39.:11:45.

Simpson. We can see that he made more interceptions than Simpson,

:11:46.:11:50.

although Simpson put in more blocks and I think that will be very

:11:51.:11:58.

important against Arsenal. I am backing Monreal to come out on top.

:11:59.:12:02.

It is not all about the Premier League. Here is Noah with the

:12:03.:12:14.

lowdown on his hometown club. Hi, I'm Noah, I am nine years old and

:12:15.:12:24.

this is Macclesfield Town FC. I have been supporting Macclesfield Town

:12:25.:12:28.

for two years. We currently play in the national league but this season

:12:29.:12:32.

I hope we get promoted to the Football League. We were founded in

:12:33.:12:39.

1874 and our nickname is the Silk Mill And.

:12:40.:12:49.

Our gaffer used to play for us and he was a brilliant striker. He

:12:50.:12:59.

scored over 100 goals in his Macclesfield Courier.

:13:00.:13:05.

-- career. My favourite match since I have been eight Macclesfield Town

:13:06.:13:15.

fan is when we played against Torquay. We beat them 2-0 and I felt

:13:16.:13:20.

great afterwards. I think matches here are really exciting because

:13:21.:13:25.

there is lots of noise and it gets you really excited. My favourite

:13:26.:13:36.

Macclesfield Town player is Danny. He scores lots of goals and is very

:13:37.:13:41.

quick. We have a history of great strikers at the club. One of our

:13:42.:13:46.

most famous players it was Rickie Lambert who now plays for West Brom.

:13:47.:13:51.

Matthew Tipton is also a club legend. He once scored 50 goals in

:13:52.:13:57.

the Football League for us. Our top schools scorer this season has been

:13:58.:14:03.

Chris Hall run. Has scored two goals. Hopefully he will score a lot

:14:04.:14:11.

more goals this season. Thanks, Noah. All the best for the rest of

:14:12.:14:22.

the season. That is nearly at, but before we go I am sure you are all

:14:23.:14:25.

on the edge of your seats waiting for the answer to our riddle. The

:14:26.:14:30.

man in question is of course Jermaine Defoe. If he got that

:14:31.:14:34.

right, now is the time to feel smug. Today he is likely to feature in the

:14:35.:14:39.

Sunderland starting line-up against Middlesbrough. You wouldn't put it

:14:40.:14:44.

past him to get on the scoresheet. We will wait and see. See you.

:14:45.:14:47.
