The new season's underway, so it's time to tackle some more questions about our dear old Barclays!Marcus, Luke and Vish wonder if the abundance of established top-flight sides might make for a competitive Premier League this year - but also decide on who's going to have the most boringly predictable mid-table season.

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.

Mailbag: What’s changed watching England?
We’ve had Sven, Capello, McClaren and Hodgson come before him - so how will we remember Gareth Southgate?

Top of the group, bottom of the barrel
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.
