Chris Karle and Steve Kenton along with Geoff Saunders and guest Mitch Gaynor discuss international football with particular attention to England, is Southgate limited tactically, are players being underused and played in the wrong position? Is Scotland a spent force, are Wales better than their position suggests and are the smaller nations developing faster than England and some of the other stronger countries? What’s up with Watford and who is next for the sack, Silva at a disappointing Everton, Solskjaer at abject United or Pochettino at a Tottenham in dressing room disarray? There’s also a look at the weekend’s upcoming games and a trivia question!

Chris Karle and Geoff Saunders discuss the latest round of Premier League games,  look at how uncertainty may be unsettling Tottenham players and why Potchettino is pound for point the best manager in the league. We also run a critical eye over Chelsea's lack of defending. We analyse why Bury FC only have themselves (their owners) to blame for their demise having bought their way up the leagues and why other clubs shouldn't and wouldn't bail them out and how this proves that England cannot viably sustain so many professional clubs, contrasting the EFL to the American professional sports model.  And there is, as usual, a rather jolly trivia question.
