Episode 10 has it all – the Lions grind out a dogged win with the subs making the difference, Pogacar stays in complete control of the Tour de France, and the Euros deliver late drama as England scrape through and Spain survive extra time.

Ep 3. Cricket Selections, Red Sox Sweeps & FIFA’s Vanity Project
Australia’s top order keeps struggling as the selectors stick with familiar names, while the middle order and tail keep digging them out of trouble. The Red Sox sweep the Yankees with some late drama, while Florida take control of the Stanley Cup finals as the Oilers stumble. We dive into Super Rugby’s format headache, a classic Roland Garros final, carnage at the US Open golf, Finn Russell flying the flag in the Premiership, plus Falkirk Corner, Sickos Pick and a flying tooth that’s just ridiculous.

He was a totem for an era of fellow magicians and mavericks in England’s top division.Simon Stainrod played against King Eric in France and predicted that Leeds boss Howard Wilkinson wouldn’t like him, and that Eric would be better o...
