100: Illustrious silverware, lack of investment and ACL injuries

Having continued our 100% pre-season record with a 2-1 victory over Brentford last weekend, we now go head-to-head with Bournemouth for a chance to lift the illustrious Betway Cup in our final friendly before the new season gets underway. Whether you see this is a chance to get some silverware on the board early on or just another meaningless friendly, it doesn't get much bigger than this for David Moyes' men. Or does it? On this week's show, the lads discuss pre-season form, our chances in the Premier League this season and, most importantly, the severe lack of investment in the squad while players are being sold cheaply, with a few more being linked with moves away in the last week. Will we ever see a new signing at the club ever again, or are the current owners deliberately seeking to balance the books in preparation for putting the club up for sale? Only time will tell, but it's a risky move in a summer when the squad is in desperate need of strengthening in key areas. Also on this week's show, James, Will and Tom compete in the new Name That Game quiz and have a chat about all the latest news surrounding the women's team, among many more headline news.
