With you earlier than usual, it’s Jimbo, James Horncastle, Pol Ballus and some special guests for the first Euro pod of 2026.
Ruben Amorim is sacked by Manchester United on Monday morning. James Horncastle knew it wouldn’t work. Laurie Whitwell tells us why it didn’t and what happens next.
For the first time in 47 years, there’s a Paris derby in Ligue 1! And Strasbourg are losing their manager to Chelsea. Louis Vix from Canal + joins us to summarise the action from France.
There are big wins for Barca in the derby at Espanyol and Real Madrid at home to Real Betis. But the Bernabeu still shower Vinicius Junior with boos.
And the top three continue to match each other stride for stride in Serie A with another big away win for Napoli, with Antonio Conte turning night-club bouncer.
Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva
