Summary
The Premier League is back and so are Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke and Nooruddean Choudry.
England are pegged back in Poland late on in a game where Gareth Southgate doesn’t make any substitutions. Does the England manager have a tendency to freeze on the big stage?
Scotland are the only home nation to win in midweek, a huge victory in Austria in World Cup qualifying, as Andrew Slaven describes all.
The headlines in the Premier League look set to be dominated by Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford. And the clash of the bottom two as Arsenal host Norwich. Could defeat spell the end for Arteta?
The panel are excited about Man City’s goalkeeping situation and about seeing Harvey Elliott and Dan James in action at Elland Road.
Plus People Just Do Nothing and people pinching throats. And Solskjaer and Szczesny – two of the best in the country.
