England’s new manager bounce, Italy’s return to form and the San Marino story

Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers into the fold after an intriguing international weekend.

Lee Carsley’s England ease past the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League in Dublin. An intelligent correction of Southgate’s errors or easy pickings against a team in a very weak group?

Italy produce one of the shocks of the weekend, taking France apart in Paris. How to explain one of the most unpredictable teams in Europe?

San Marino results are usually the most predictable but they recorded their first win in 20 years. Lee Wingate from The Sweeper was there to see history unfold.

Plus Scottish woe, Swedish firepower and a Due South retrospective.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
