On The Continent: Making sense of the turmoil in Turin

After all the talk and all the statements, the football must carry on and we got a sharp reminder that Man City still have plenty of quality. Today, Jim and Vish are joined by Marcus Speller, aka England Dad, to break down everything we saw at Anfield. Elsewhere, Jordan Henderson channels the spirit of David Beckham. Plus, Roberto De Zerbi reveals he is happy for Spurs to receive red cards, but only in moderation. Get your Football Ramble x Admiral kit here.

Well, well, well - how the turntables! From zero to hero, nothing to everything, Spelgium is back on top after victory last week. But Jimbabwe has returned with a vengeance, joined by the Ehantharajah Empire, as they duke it out for the title of biggest Jack’s Encyclopaedophile. To answer your question, Pete came up with that. He also forced me to write this. Get your Football Ramble x Admiral kit here. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

Welcome to the Mailbag Moral Maze. A listener has got in touch regarding an inconvenient truth: Man City might be guilty as sin, but the Premier League's financial regulations are far from perfect. What can be done? Marcus, Jim and Luke answer that hefty question and plenty of other less hefty ones, including our genuine, non-poetic thoughts on the Great Autumn International Break, whether Thomas Tuchel remains the right manager to take England to major tournament glory, and the question that no one's asking about the Man City charges apart from the man himself: what will happen to Brother Brendy's 2014 Premier League medal?

That’s it, the Great Autumn International Break of 2026 is over. Marcus, Luke and Jim are here on a mournful day to reflect on England’s final win before club football returns. Has Harry Kane cemented himself as England’s greatest ever player? The lads reckon he has.
