The boys have only gone and bloody done it! A superb Ollie Watkins goal at the death, and an all-round improved performance sees England reach their second consecutive European Championships final, and first on foreign soil.

After sleeping off a mild hangover, Simon, Matt & James gathered to discuss another memorable night of England fandom, and the tasty prospect of a Sunday final against an impressive Spain side.

Matt also launches a campaign to record the final episode in whatever state we're in after the game; all in favour raise your hands...

The Cricket references continue for one more week as Gareth Southgate survives a late scare reaching his landmark tonne, edging into the Euro 2024 semi-final in the process.

As ever, it wasn't straight-forward but Bukayo Saka and his equally unflappable penalty-taking pals booked England a Wednesday night date with the Netherlands.

On this one, Simon, Konny and Matt discussed the highs and lows of another nail-biter and had to pull the 'It's Coming Home-o-meter' out of its box for some updated readings.

Enjoy!

We're starting to think that we'd be better served following the cricket team in the T20 World Cup you know?

Jokes aside, Simon, James & Matt did convene to talk about England's latest uninspiring performance in the goalless draw with Slovenia. Yes, the group has been topped but it has hardly been convincing.

On a positive note, there's talk of encouraging contributions by Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer plus a lookahead to a Round of 16 tie on Sunday (not against the Netherlands as anticipated) in what is a hugely favourable side of the bracket!

As one Twitter user cheekily suggested on Thursday evening, you could imagine that Gareth Southgate is inclined to strap on the protective headgear on an indoor exercise bike, such was the risk averse manner of the 1-1 draw against Denmark.

His England side went into their shell after going ahead, and never really reappeared.

The next day Simon, Konny and Matt unpicked an uninspiring performance and speculated whether it would result in a shift in tact for the last group game against Slovenia. There’s also a fleeting guest appearance from James who was less than impressed at the full-time whistle.

Currently, England are great on paper, but not so great on grass…

As the kids (and Rio Ferdinand) would say, Jude Bellingham is very much 'him'. England's superstar midfielder proved that once again as Gareth Southgate's men snuck by Serbia on Sunday night.

After a day to gather their thoughts, Simon, James and Matt discussed the differing viewpoints on England's performance in the media and online, as well as how some of the manager's most-talked-about selection decisions panned out.

The main headline is England sit top of the group, but there are definitely things to work on!

It's Coming Home is back, baby! We've got the old band back together to look ahead to another major tournament, one which England arrive at as one of the favorites.

On this Euro 2024 (and Serbia) preview, Simon is joined by Ben, James and Matt to discuss the squad inclusions and omissions, those Friendly performances, England's chances of taking home the prize plus those of the other notable contenders. There's also kit talk, an interesting Phil Foden theory and the all-important team selection for Sunday.

Good news! England are into the knockouts with relative ease after a 3-0 victory against Wales in which Marcus Rashford, as Good Morning Britain described it, "booted in two goals" whilst Phil Foden "saw in one more".

Awful terminology aside, it was a comfortable win and a much more impressive performance from Southgate's side, and one that Simon, Josh & Matt were more than happy to discuss the day after.

Also on this show, there's a recap of England's group stage as a whole, a festive World Cup Quiz-thing and a look ahead to the prospect of Senegal on Sunday.

So it's finally here, 5 months later than usual, the FIFA World Cup of Cognitive Dissonance. The World Cup in Qatar is a troubling one for fans around the world, and an awkward thing to handle for the players, managers and coaches alike.

In this preview for a very strange spectacle, Simon, Josh and Matt take a dive into Gareth Southgate's squad selection, look ahead to the first game against Iran and discuss how possible it is truly enjoy a World Cup at this time of year, with these hosts in charge and the huge list of controversies overshadowing proceedings.

We're expecting a far from smooth ride throughout the tournament and we intend to keep shining a light on all of the darker, grimmer aspects of an event that we should all be able to enjoy guilt-free as fans and participants, but arguably can't.
