We chat to Jack-Pitt Brooke of The Athletic about England under Tuchel for the last year. He’s made his mark by not calling up Jude Bellingham but time is against Tommy if he is to helm his boys to victory at USA 2026.

Nick Miller joins us to talk about Ange’s start to life at Nottingham Forest. Postecoglou says that as a child he used to pick fights with people he knew would beat him up. Has he taken the Forest job on the same principle?

😃😃😃 Accurate description tbf

Ferguson battled hard but is getting a bit frustrated looking (a few whistles too). Although in fairness, it's tough for him, the whole team is yet to gel under Gasperini's style. And missing the genius of Dybala alongside him doesn't help.
