We've got a lovely @routeonepod.bsky.social today. JJ Bull is still reeling from Scotland's performance, @tomwfootball.bsky.social l can't believe how good Wales were, and Produce Helena has done a fine job on the montage.

I got to speak to Stuart Broad this month and impress him with my cricket skills on a new podcast for Fitzdares with Lola Katz Roberts.

Have a listen here. It's called Odds Law (it's about gambling though, so don't listen if you don't like that sort of thing)

Is it going to be a tense night for Germany? @SebSB is on ROUTE ONE today to give us the lowdown. Heavy Metal Football statistics today include Norwich apparently not being as bad as people think. And Middlesbrough not being as good...

The new episode of FM Classic is here, the season is up and running now and I have the strangest feeling that everything's coming up Everton.

It's the last ROUTE ONE of the week and we're leading on Ronaldo possibly doing himself out of his last World Cup. @danielstorey85.bsky.social is on that. And how's Graham Potter getting on with Sweden? Patrick Syk joins us for that.

Listen here, it's only ten mins.

We're looking ahead to England (@adrianjclarke.bsky.social) and Scotland (JJ Bull) today on ROUTE ONE, but we also have a big chunk of Heavy Metal Football Statistics including more love for the Dunk/Hecke metronome.

Listen here, you have nothing better to do:

Episode 22 of the FM Classic is here and we're all just trying to move on from the Moscow debacle.

Over on ROUTE ONE we're having a look at a couple of big clubs in danger of relegation. We've got @robconlon.bsky.social from @thesquareball.net on Leeds and Feargal Brennan on Valencia PLUS a bumper edition of Heavy Metal Football...statistics.

Everyone else has been banging on about Liverpool all day, so we open ROUTE ONE with a good look at Man City courtesy of @ghostgoal. Then we've got @SebSB on Bayern dropping points. And we've got all the usuals as well.

After three months of FM17 and over 30,000 words of content, Everton are on the brink of the Champions League group stages.

There's just the small matter of CSKA Moscow in the play-offs...

And finally from us this week, Episode 21 of the FM Classic Series in which Everton meet CSKA Moscow in the Champions League play-off and we all try not to think about Pierluigi Collina....

Plus, in a flurry of creative output from us that is in no way down to a technical issue logjam, we have the wonderful
@dannykellywords.bsky.social digging into the art of the creative nadir inspired, naturally, by Spurs and it has this awesome opening par.

The final ROUTE ONE of the week is here, looking ahead to the big one with Sky Sports News rising star Lola Katz Roberts, looking at Coventry with Simon from @thatcovpod.bsky.social and looking at Luka Vuskovic with @sebsb.bsky.social

The new ROUTE ONE is here and asking questions like, "Why are Newcastle so inconsistent?" and "Blimey? Why are Norwich so bad?" and, "Same question but Girona?"

Listen now with @georgecaulkin.bsky.social , @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and Feargal Brennan

Apropos of absolutely nothing, but I came upon this while researching something else.

Bolton boss Colin Todd drags two players with him to the press conference after a 5-0 defeat. Astonishingly, he was still Bolton boss for two more years after this.

Football Manager 2026 is no longer alpha or beta, it's out there on the market and so it's time for our Big Proper Review.

Is it a bin fire? Is it a classic? Let's find out...

Liverpool are back and that means we've got @knoxharrington.bsky.social opening up ROUTE ONE today. But I also have PSG questions, so we've got @tomwfootball.bsky.social too. And what is going on with Stoke? They look unbeatable, Producer Si!

Ok, it's done. It's out. No 'beta version' excuses allowed now.

Due to door-related issues, today's ROUTE ONE is presented by Lola Katz Roberts as a result, listeners may notice that it sounds significantly better than usual.

Join her and @mattjfootball.bsky.social (Everton) and @sebsb.bsky.social (BMG) right here:

Today's episode of Route One will be delayed slightly because the door handle to my study has disengaged and my attempt to barge it down failed.

Microphone is on other side along with elderly cat. A handyman has been summoned, but he's racing against her bladder now.

The second season of the FM Classic Everton series has begun. Some of last year's heroes are leaving, but are they being replaced by new heroes?

Probably not, no.
