  Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness are back with another chaotic mix of football discussion, stories and laughs. The lads debate Liverpool — is Isak trying to do too much?

Plus, Scholesy and Nicky explain why they were terrible roommates, reveal who was the biggest swot when doing their coaching badges, remember how Becks’s room always smelled nice and Paddy recalls a day out in London that began with a shopping trip with Jason McAteer and ended with him playing credit card roulette.
