Welcome back to 'It's All Kicking Off!'

Fresh off the penultimate international break weekend of 2024, Ian and Chris begin by discussing various topics surrounding English football, including the current state of the national team, the future of manager Lee Carsley (while analysing a few candidates to replace him), and the Three Lions form of players like Cole Palmer Jude Bellingham, when compared to the performances they put in for their clubs.

They also delve into the structure of international breaks, the Nations League and Nottingham Forest's recruitment strategy - including the consequences of publicly criticising referees.
