Football Ramble

Luke and Vish jump on after a weirdly underwhelming barn burner over in Munich, where four of Bayern’s fifty-six efforts found Man United’s net - and United somehow scored three. We wonder if either of these sides can make a meaningful contribution in Europe, get more details on Daniel Levy’s masterplan and reserve yet more love for the greatest Englishman who’s ever lived: Jude Bellingham.

Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish are here to officially announce: England will win the Euros. Definitely. No doubt about it. That’s mainly because all the other nations are falling to bits.
