Summary
Jimbo is joined by Rory Smith, James Horncastle and Colin Millar ahead of crunch time in World Cup qualifying.
It’s going down to the wire as Spain face a tense double-header with Greece and Sweden, while the likes of Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands and Norway go head to head for a place in Qatar.
Steven Gerrard is on the verge of leaving Rangers to become Aston Villa manager. Is this a bigger gamble for Villa or Gerrard? And does he need the experience at Villa before he can be considered as the next Liverpool manager?
Elsewhere, would Lampard fit in at Norwich? And how will Liverpool’s recruitment fare without Michael Edwards and his laptop?
Plus the most dominant team in the world, the importance we place in pundits’ words and why the world’s got football documentary fever.
