The Preview Show: A bottle of Aftershock

It's the Manchester derby this weekend, so how are both sides preparing? Man United have brought back Michael Carrick for another suckle on Sir Alex's teat, all while Pep Guardiola is turning down free bottles of whiskey. Come on Pep, you cannae be turning down a glass of Scotch from young Gary Caldwell.

Marcus, Jim, David & Pete are here to look ahead to the big game. Meanwhile, Liam Rosenior goes full Jake Humphrey, Pat Nevin stops Duncan Ferguson from setting fire to a hotel, and - in shocking news to the whole of Scotland - the US has banned Buckfast. WHAT?
