You miss the Premier League, do you?

Well, here we are ladies and gents. After Vish ripped the Jack's Encyclopaedia belt from big Lukey Moore's waist last week, can Marcus and Jim save the day and prevent it from heading to Australia until the end of the year?

Pete has the difficult job of remaining neutral while refereeing this bout. It's northern hemisphere vs southern hemisphere, football vs cricket, marmite vs vegemite. Come on, let's have it.

We’ve got our islands back

It's time for another international break... Thank God, we were almost starting to enjoy the Premier League.

I’m just a Saudi guy

After his 1000th game in club management (still 86 behind Brucey, mind), Pep Guardiola has achieved pretty much everything it's possible to achieve in football, including winning the affections of Neil Warnock. But has his influence on English football as a whole been positive?

Marcus, Luke and Jim chew on that – plus, is Manuel Pellegrini right that football should introduce a basketball-style 'half-court' rule? How the hell did Kenny Dalglish win the league as a player-manager? And Marcus further confirms himself as a basic English b*****d. All on this week's Mailbag, join us!
