It's a crunch international break and Ramble HQ is stricken with World Cup fever, though there's bad news for Joe Hart and an exciting endorsement from Pete Donaldson, who yet again forgets where the email section is supposed to be.

The boys also find time to round up as much World Cup qualification action as possible, from Faroe Islands to Syria and just about everything in between.

Elsewhere Jose Mourinho's homecoming is typically humble and ENGLAAAAAAAND. 

Bowler hat.
