It has become customary for England to qualify for national tournaments without breaking a sweat, and it was never in...

England's marching band stuck ten past San Marino in the final round of Now That's What I Call Competitive, meaning they can turn their attention to the dark cloud coming over the hill. Kate, Luke and Pete give that a once-over, remind everyone that Scotland invented the passing game after their Danish delight and see Northern Ireland throw the cat among the piccione. We also delve into the ongoing issues around Qatar 2022 and what can be expected of the players and federations heading their next year.

Rog and Davo on a one-sided Manchester Derby, David Moyes and his ebullient Irons' victory over Liverpool, and the hottest team in the Premier League... Arsenal? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Charlie Eccleshare into the studio after a weekend where two Premier League managers bite the dust. City dominate the Manchester derby at Old Trafford thanks to the likes of Bernardo Silva, a dream player for Pep who plays everywhere and does everything. And Phil Foden who has to play on the left. West Ham are 3 points off top spot after rattling Liverpool at the London Stadium. Is talk of the Hammers doing a Leicester really that far-fetched? Villa and Norwich both dispense with their managers. Dan Bardell pays tribute to Dean Smith while we’re thankful Daniel Farke left Carrow Road before it got poisonous. Will we see Gerrard and Lampard replacing them? Elsewhere, Conte’s Spurs suffer with their unique shot on target drought. And how many defenders does Eddie Howe need to buy in January to fix Newcastle? Plus Wilder, mercurial players and the Buxton boss on holiday.
