Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete are here to welcome in the weekend after Man United’s peculiar European adventures continued with a weird win over Rangers. Admittedly we do focus more on United's latest mix of baffling calamities, from smashed TVs and breaching PSR regulations to a “full on mutiny” in the squad. Oof.There’s also plenty of Barclays to look ahead to, as Cole Palmer looks to boot Man City while they’re down and we’ve got a cracker at the Vitality where Bournemouth will host Nottingham Forest.

Marcus and Vish check in after Chelsea finally get a decent league win, with Trevoh Chalobah’s classy return to the Bridge proving very timely - even if Noni Madueke nicked his goal from inside a yard out.

Before you listen to this episode, we want to set one thing straight: despite Pete’s accusations, Marcus does not smoke crack cocaine. All right? All right.Marcus, Jim and Pete catch up with the world of club football and quickly remember why Harry Redknapp definitely still records Match of the Day on his YouView box.

Today Marcus, Luke and Jim are here to reflect on what Southgate’s legacy will be once the dust has settled.There's also the question of who comes next?

Marcus, Luke and Jim get their heart rates down long enough to recap a truly absurd game of football, as England scrape past Slovakia more by luck than judgement. But who cares, because we’ve got Jude Bellingham.We try to separate what could have happened from what did actually happen as we look over Gareth Southgate’s decisions, England’s tactics and what happens next.

We’ve had Sven, Capello, McClaren and Hodgson come before him - so how will we remember Gareth Southgate? Marcus, Luke and Andy wonder why the English public keep saying the same things about England over the years, and whether winning a tournament would actually change anything.Elsewhere in less soul-searching, heartfelt matters, we work out who we’d support if/when England get knocked out and decide which country has the best food to be armed with going into battle.

It’s business time. And up yours, England are still in the mix. Marcus, Luke and Jim are joined by Andy – fresh back from Germany – to preview the knockouts and discuss our favourites for the tournament now we know what (the incredibly unbalanced) draw looks like.Plus, Gareth Southgate is to blame for bad Guinness, Anthony Gordon flies over the handlebars of his bike rather than down the wing, and there’s mosquitoes in the Germany camp and – wait for it – Italian spies up Stuttgart's TV tower.

Goodbye to the group stages! And it finished with a magnificent day for Georgia, a terrible day for António Silva, and a reminder for Pete Donaldson that Cenk Tosun exists.Pete, Jim and Vish discuss the final round of group stage sparring before the knockouts, with a sensational display from Georgia who are rapidly becoming our favourite team. Plus, Czech Republic and Turkey ruin everyone’s Ramble predictions for number of cards at the tournament in one fell swoop and there’s quite literally an electric atmosphere in the Romania vs Slovakia game.

Somehow, England have finished top of their group. And somehow, they’re in the best side of the draw. The plan worked!Marcus, Luke, Vish and Pete react to a drab 0-0 that saw no big changes from the previous game and leaves them thinking there are bigger problems with England’s front line. At least we can cling to Anthony Gordon and Cole Palmer.
