Steve's back in Sheffield - jetlagged, heartbroken over England's exit and locked out. Our Nikki's furious, Bob's sofa is the only offer on the table, and Steve's got some serious grovelling to do.
We've got the result of the Royal Oak sweepstake, Steve's delayed return to Sampson Electrics, and a full World Cup post-mortem - the final, Argentina's full-time antics, our verdict on the half-time show, England's third-place playoff and Thomas Tuchel's future, all given the Game's Gone treatment.
Erling Haaland, Jay-Z, Jude Bellingham, Justin Bieber, Rodri, Madonna and Harry Kane all get a mention in another jam-packed edition; we'll see you next season for more from the fifth tier of Sheffield's Imperial League.
