The transfer window is in full swing, with Aston Villa at the centre of this weeks action.



Mike, Myles and Dave weigh up Moussa DIaby's surprise move to Saudi Arabia, his legacy, and the incoming Amadou Onana's potential role.



Arsenal have all but sealed the deal for young Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. After an impressive Euro 2024 at centre back for the Azzuri, where could he feature for the Gunners?



And as the Mason Greenwood problem is moved on to Marseille, have Manchester United done the best they could - financially and morally?

That awful, sinking feeling never gets easy does it? England lose another European Championship Final and although it wasn't on penalties, it wasn't any less heartbreaking for fans.



Mike, Myles and Dave discuss the 2-1 loss to Spain who were, without doubt, the best team in the competition, and look at the missed opportunities. As well as what made Spain worthy champions.



And what of Gareth Southgate? Once the dust settles, will he stay at the helm and pick the team up for another crack at glory?

We have no idea HOW, but England are through to the semi-finals of Euro 2024 after a clinical penalty shootout win over Switzerland! Mike and Myles look at the big wins from the game against the Swiss, the opportunities to improve further, and how the other contenders shape up.



And what now for Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo? His presence in this talented Portugal team seems to dominate, and not for the right reasons. Are they better without CR7?

England progress to the Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals after a MAD end to their Round of 16 tie against Slovakia. The game ended 2-1 after extra time, but it took a 95th-minute bicycle kick from Jude Bellingham to spare England an embarrassing exit.



Mike, Myles and Dave try and find the positives from a poor quality game, but one which had the most thrilling ending.



They also chat about Spain's ruthless 4-1 win over Georgia and the impact of the superb Nico Williams.



And also on the agenda is the PSR deadline and the transfer of Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest - does £35m represent good value for Forest?!

England's first 2 games of Euro 2024 have been super frustrating for fans. With a more "backs to the wall" approach than a team of this talent should ever invite, the Three Lions have laboured to a win and a draw against Serbia and Denmark so sar.

Mike, Myles and Dave look at what THEY want Gareth Southgate to do, to really push this talented team forward.

Euro 2024 is HERE!

Mike, Myles and Dave analyse the best of the action from the opening weekend of European Championship action in Germany.



England got off to a winning start with Jude Bellingham pulling the strings in a 1-0 win over Serbia. The win's been received pretty negatively in some quarters for not being ambitious enough in the second half. The lads give their take on what worked - and what didn't - for the Three Lions.



We also look at Germany's 5-1 trouncing of sorry Scotland, with Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz showing why they're the future of Die Mannschaft.



And impressive opening wins for Spain and Italy beg the question of just how far each team can progress.
