The show returns this week with a very nervous Ryan riding solo, trying to do the pod on a video format. Our apologies if the show isn't as fluent as normal as Ryan gets to grips with screen sharing and the rest for Youtube.

On this show Ryan gives his opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo and his 'explosive' interview clips with Piers Morgan. Then Alejandro Garnacho gets praise for his eye-catching cameos from the Manchester United bench. With the world cup a week away and then transfer window to follow almost immediately after, Ryan runs the rule over United's first team squad and highlights the areas that need improvement. The pod is rounded off with Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad being assessed and who should have gone in place of who!

On the day the world sadly lost Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Dan & Ryan pay their respects to an historical icon and try and cover the, what felt like irrelevant, "big" football stories of the past week.

From the very sudden sacking of Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, to the even swifter appointment of his replacement Graham Potter?

What on earth is going on at Liverpool and why it's turned sour so quickly?

Who is up to the task of replacing Jordan Pickford for England's next fixtures?

North of the border, what's happened to Rangers under Giovanni Van Bronckhorst?

And concluding the podcast, another round of the footballing guessing game!

May Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II rest in peace!
