Welcome to Episode 70 of The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast with Nick & Dom.

So, we have just endured a 3 week international break, not one bit of which either of us had any interest in, paid any real attention to, or even watched a minute of any highlights package for any of the home nations. It is fair to say that we don't give a toss about the glorified friendlies that are the Nation's League.

However, it has (or will have) an impact on players' fitness and welfare, club momentum etc, so we get into that and a lot more.

Just because of the 3 week break, the football world didn't stop. So, we discuss some of the things that happened just before the break, during the break and what we can look forward to now that proper football has returned.

• Injured Players Returning
• Harry Kane's Amazing Bayern Stats
• Another Returning Player Watch
• The Derisory Tonda Eckert "Punishment"
• Everton Owners Wanting to Sell Up
• The FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round
• Away Fans Ticket Pricing
• 3 Players Whose Careers Have Nosedived
• CR7 Being a Big Cry-Baby

And we reveal a forthcoming Podcast World Exclusive.....

As usual, loads of content, loads of thoughts and observations and loads to keep you engaged and entertained - including the odd mad stat!

Please take a little time to listen or watch and see if we are discussing the things that other football fans talk about on their way to games, in the pub on and outside of matchday, on the concourse, or after the match - we think we are and we think you will enjoy the podcast.

With no game, we again shelved our new, recently regular feature - RUSSELL MARTIN WATCH, but it will be back, of that we are certain.

If you want to comment or reach out, please do. We would love to hear from you......
