The Preview Show: MBellingham

Marcus, Jim, Andy and Pete are back in the Ramble ring! But it’s a sad day, really. Jürgen Klinsmann has been sacked by South Korea! Insert crying emoji on Zoom.


As well as waving farewell to Klinsmann, we react to news that Kylian Mbappé is finally - FINALLY - bidding farewell to PSG and heading straight to Newcastle after watching Dan Burn up close. Plus, the latest on Roy Hodgson and Crystal Palace and the latest on Wayne Rooney, who has reached a common crossroads in his career. Stick with football management, or beat up a YouTuber half my age? It’s the eternal question. Come join us for all that and more!
