    Sep 11 2024

  • 68 - England Are Back! Republic of Ireland preview, Carsball and goodbye, Sven.
    Sep 6 2024

    England are back for some Saturday evening Prime Time Entertainment, kicking off their Nations League campaign in Dublin against the Republic of Ireland.


    It's a new era for the Three Lions after Gareth Southgate's post-Euros departure from the hot seat. It's time for Lee Carsley to try The Impossible Job on a temporary basis, but just how temporary is temporary on this occasion?


    We discuss exciting additions to the England squad, rumours of elite coaches waiting in the wings to sweep up international trophies and of course, say goodbye to one of our favourite England managers of all time, Sven-Göran Eriksson.

  • 67 - England vs Republic of Ireland - Euro 92 Qualifier
    Aug 31 2024

    Hands up who's ready for crap, post tournament England?


    With Lee Carsley's boys lining up against the Republic of Ireland very soon, we throw it back to 1990 and a match between the two sides at the beginning of their Euro 92 qualification campaigns.


    Featuring two of our favourite sons, Graham Taylor and Sir Big Jack Charlton, this game is nothing if not a reminder of how far the Three Lions have come in the decades since.

  • 66. Not Meant To Be
    Jul 15 2024

    It simply was not meant to be.


    Episode 66 isn't the celebration we'd hoped for, but hopefully the company of two fellow sad England fans can be of comfort.


    We talk final viewing experiences and the game itself, as well as the future of the England manager and squad.

  • 64. Semi-Final?
    Jul 8 2024

    You simply cannot say that England aren't in the Euro 2024 Semi-Finals.


    It hasn't been easy, fun or particularly enjoyable, but maybe this is just part of what being a successful international team is?


    However, there was some joy to be found in the penalty shoot-out win against Switzerland and we truly are into the big boy stages now, so hopefully Euros Fever is ready to explode with a win against Netherlands on Wednesday!

  • 63. Rage for the Big Stage
    Jul 2 2024

    Simply put - what is going on?


    England's Euro 2024 seems to be getting worse with every passing minute, YET, we are in the Quarter Finals.


    A huge game with Switzerland awaits, but there is so much to get into before we can even start to get a little bit giddy again.

  • 62 - Listener Special as Knockout Stages Beckon!
    Jun 28 2024

    Something a bit different today as we hand the reigns of Is This England over to YOU!


    Well, some of you anyway. Nick is away having fun at Glastonbury, so its time for the Is This England Cinematic Universe to have its say!


    England have made it to the knockout stages, stumbling to an undefeated top of the group finish. Slovakia await next and beyond that, something approaching a favourable path to Euros glory - but is it absolutely mental to think we can get there?


    Thanks to everyone who contributed to this episode - normal order will be resumed soon.
