Scott McTominay

Matt Davies-Adams is in the hot seat, alongside Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers, Adrian Clarke and many more in the midst of a dramatic international break. Hansi Flick is sacked as Germany manager, with a home Euros looming next summer. Raphael Honigstein and Seb Stafford-Bloor discuss why and what next? England are held in Ukraine with some of Gareth Southgate’s decisions called into question again. Is he a good enough coach to lead the Three Lions to glory at Euro 2024? Will England come unstuck against Scott McTominay’s Scotland on Tuesday? Luciano Spalletti’s debut as Italy manager sees them slip up in Skopje. James Horncastle has more. Elsewhere on the international scene, Neymar is Brazil’s all-time top scorer, Lamine Yamal is the future and Luxembourg are legit. Plus Arsenal’s Champions League heartache, some worldies at Mansfield and a last-ditch abandonment at Scunthorpe. Produced by Charlie Jones.

A brief Barclays break means we get to tackle all the glorious chaos that the South American qualifiers regularly serve up. By tackle, we mean kick in the nads - much like Emerson Royal did last night, incidentally. There is plenty of football for us to look ahead to as Marcus, Luke and Pete check up on both ends of the Championship and preview some tasty AFCON ties. We also get a seismic update on Scott McTominay's infamous Player of the Season award whilst under José's tutelage. Lighters at the ready. All of that on a jam-packed Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

As expected, a certain young man won big at Man United’s end of season awards (forever more known as The Scotties), Liverpool shun game management in favour of an absolute thrill ride and we try to keep some narrative going by tipping absolutely everyone for relegation. Elsewhere there’s very serious analysis about expected take-ons, Mardy Andy Carroll gets the hump and the only thing that they have got is the big boy up front Sigthorsson. Oh. Oh my word.
