Football Ramble
A practice stir
•
Lee Carsley’s first game as interim England manager started amongst a media storm. Perfect preparation for getting the job full-time then…
Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim explain why the players are all too happy to play under Carsley after England’s win at the weekend. Elsewhere, we analyse Steve McClaren’s attempts to learn Jamaican Patois, dissect a trademark heartbreaking defeat for Scotland, and celebrate Wayne Rooney scoring a free-kick at Old Trafford. Happy Monday!
