Football Quiz: Gunners, Toffees, Tricky Trees | Ultimate Football Heroes
Why are Arsenal called the Gunners? Why are Everton the Toffees? And who on earth are the Tricky Trees?
This week's quiz is Whose Nickname? Issy and George say 6 football nicknames and you shout the team: the Gunners, the Toffees, the Magpies, the Seagulls, the Lionesses and the Tricky Trees. Then they tell you where each name comes from, from a weapons factory in 1886 to a row of toffee shops.
This week's player is Désiré Doué of Paris Saint-Germain and France. He joined his first club at 5 years old, copied Neymar's tricks as a kid, and at 19 he scored 2 goals in a Champions League final. No teenager had ever done that before. The new Ultimate Football Heroes book about him is out on 22 October.
Then the predictions: Nottingham Forest v Arsenal at the City Ground, and Crystal Palace v West Ham United in the Women's Super League, both on Sunday 18 October. Next week Issy and George settle 4 matches at once.

England Scored 7: Kane, Saka, Bellingham | Ultimate Football Heroes
England went to Croatia and won 7-0. It is the biggest defeat Croatia have ever had: 2 goals each for Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka, and Jude Bellingham scored 1 and set up 3 more.
Issy and George settle last week's predictions, including Manchester City Women coming from 2-1 down to beat Arsenal 4-2. The table is the closest it has been all season: George 10, Issy 9.
Then 3 things from the weekend: London City Lionesses winning 6-1 at Tottenham with 2 goals from Alexia Putellas, Manchester City sitting top of both the Premier League and the Women's Super League, and England's 2-0 win in Czechia.
This week's quiz is Who Do They Play For? We name 6 players and you name the club: Harry Kane, Lauren Hemp, Désiré Doué, Mary Earps, Bruno Fernandes and Alessia Russo.
The Premier League is back this weekend, so the predictions are Greece v England for the Lionesses, and Manchester United v Tottenham.
Coming soon in audio from Ultimate Football Heroes: Désiré Doué at the end of October and Bruno Fernandes in November.

Kane Slipped, Yamal Scored: England v Spain | Ultimate Football Heroes
England were 2-1 up against Spain at Wembley when Harry Kane slipped taking a penalty and hit the bar. Spain came back to win 3-2.
Issy and George settle last week's predictions, then 3 things from the weekend: Arsenal Women's 20-game unbeaten run ended by Chelsea, Luka Modric scoring for Croatia at 41, and Manchester City Women making it 4 wins from 4.
Plus a brand new game: Football By Numbers, where every answer is a number. How many goals were in Manchester City 5-3 Sunderland, how many World Cups have Brazil won, and what year did Stamford Bridge open?
There is still no Premier League football this week, so the predictions are Croatia v England and Manchester City Women v Arsenal Women.
