For the last time in 2021, it’s the European edition with Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens. Is the title race over in the Bundesliga?

Atletico lose a third league game in a row for the first time under Simeone but there’s hope for Barcelona thanks to their talented youngsters.

Kris, Phil, and (for a while) Jez look back at an international break that saw France qualify for the World Cup, a red-card-heavy round of Ligue 1 games featuring yet another abandoned game, and some weird moves on and off the pitch in the women's game.

In an international week full of drama, Jimbo welcomes Julien Laurens, Matt Davies-Adams and Sasha Goryunov into the pod. Serbia strike late to win in Lisbon and secure their World Cup qualification and push Portugal into the play-offs. Pressure grows on Fernando Santos after underachieving with one of the most talented squads in the whole world. It’s all to play for for Italy as they head to Northern Ireland on Monday. England are almost there as we give Gareth credit for getting a tune out of players who aren’t performing for their clubs. Dean Smith is the new Norwich manager as Michael Bailey tells us whether this is a situation the hierarchy at Carrow Road lucked into. But don’t get your hopes up of seeing Zizou and his interpreter rock up at Old Trafford any time soon. Plus the investigation rocking PSG women, John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood and the longest away trip in world football.
