About this episode

England fans once blamed a Steven Gerrard misplaced pass at the Euros on the fact that he didn’t have a winter break... obviously. Today, Marcus, Jim and Vish discuss whether this new-look January schedule is finally the solution to Premier League burnout.


Elsewhere, what do Zinedine Zidane, Philippe Coutinho and Gareth Barry have in common? And we try to decide on one wildcard spot for the England squad in the summer! Theo Walcott, anyone?
