Summary

Jimbo has Tom Williams, Mark Carey and Matt Davies-Adams for company as the international break heats up.

England will qualify for the World Cup with a win in Latvia on Tuesday. Was Thomas Tuchel right to call out the fans for a lack of noise in the win over Wales?

Scotland’s World Cup destiny stays in their own hands but fans are left feeling pretty pessimistic about their performance levels. Unlike the Faroe Islands who also boast two wins out of two this week.

Away from the international scene, Jack Wilshere is the new Luton manager, Steven Gerrard is not the new Rangers manager and could Sean Dyche be set to replace Ange Postecoglou as Forest manager?

Plus Megan Feringa joins us for a round-up of the action from the WSL where Chelsea continue to win without playing that well, while reports of Barcelona’s demise seem to have been premature.
