Summary

Jimbo’s back, with Jay Harris, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Adrian Clarke for company and lots to talk about from the world of football.

With Europa League winner Ange Postecoglou dismissed, Spurs now look set to turn to Thomas Frank. What are the Brentford’s boss strengths and weaknesses ahead of the potential move to North London?

Portugal are the Nations League champions after their penalty shootout win over Spain, with Cristiano Ronaldo showing he still has the knack at 40 years of age.

Italy’s chances of missing a third successive World Cup increased after the 3-0 defeat to Norway that saw the exit of manager Luciano Spalletti. Will anybody let Claudio Ranieri retire?

Plus plenty of transfer chat and England’s angst over a win in Andorra.
