It’s all-out war at the Royal Oak. The feud between Steve and Chippy Claire has gone nuclear, with a “refreshed” Claire bombarding Steve with texts. How will he respond? And what will he make of Tommy’s pitch for a spa day, as we ask if Claire and Tommy are the Oak’s answer to Victoria and David Beckham? We also watch along with your video clips as we hunt for the star act to bring the punters back to the pub, in a battle between magic, rap, acoustic rock and Nikki’s favourite singer from Tenerife. Plus, Steve explains why he’s sponsoring England’s men’s national amputee team.
In the wider footballing world, we discuss Michael Carrick’s departure from Old Trafford, look at the three B's (Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth) tearing up the Premier League, congratulate Harry Kane on his record number of England caps, and figure out who really deserves a place in the top flight
Jude, Jobe and Mark Bellingham all feature in another packed edition from the dressing room of the Royal Oak FC.
All episodes will now premiere at 7PM on Thursdays - and don't forget you can watch along with Steve and Bob in the live chat on the Game's Gone YouTube channel...
Catch up on our brand-new series Touchline Shouts, featuring bonus Royal Oak drama and footballing chat with Steve. Episodes are released every Tuesday, only on BBC Sounds.
