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.

Jimbo flicks through the Totally Almanac once again and lands in 1995 with a signing that transformed both Arsenal and the Premier League, Dennis Bergkamp.

He is joined by Duncan Alexander, Michael Cox and ex-teammate of the so called 'Iceman', Adrian Clarke to look back at one of the most technically gifted players ever to play in the English top flight.

From so many memorable and impossible goals, to perfect pinpoint assists but also the lesser mentioned tougher side and grit, why isn't he considered one of the very greatest?

Plus your questions and a tough Dutch themed quiz from Duncan.

Jimbo's got Duncan Alexander, Colin Millar and Carl Anka along for some international break fun and games.

England have been under Thomas Tuchel's tutelage for a year - and his latest squad inclusions and omissions have certainly raised eyebrows. So where do the Three Lions stand at the moment - and how set is the team heading into next summer's World Cup? Plus - a word on the fortunes of the other home nations as qualifying reaches its climax across Europe.

CAF qualifiers have thrown up more than a few eye-catching storylines, no least the remarkable Cape Verde on the brink of a place in the 2026 tournament - and the drama surrounding South Africa's docked points. African football expert Maher Mezahi joins us for a deep dive into some of the key issues across the continent.

Plus - we react to the news that Uefa have 'reluctantly' granted permission for La Liga and Serie A to stage a game each abroad this winter, meaning European league games will be played on different continents for the first time.
