## Resource

After Steve's administrative foul-up last week, The Royal Oak are in the middle of a full-blown relegation crisis. How will they fare against local rivals "Medics & Dentals" in another vital six-pointer? The team also checks in on the wellbeing of captain Tommy and takes a trip to the Snooker World Championship final. In a piping hot new feature, Bob The Bucket shows off his pie-eating talents - will Paul and Steve catch him out with some surprise fillings? We bid a happy birthday to Sir David Attenborough, show off some tattoos and hear from a very unwelcome visitor in another packed edition of Game's Gone. VAR. XG. Inverted wing backs. The game has well and truly gone. Via his very own podcast, Steve Bracknall, Sunday league assistant manager and viral sensation will bring it back. Direct from the dressing room of his team, Royal Oak FC, Steve is joined by gaffer Paul Sampson and physio Bob the Bucket. Every episode, they’ll make sense of all the week’s footballing news and bring you updates from the Oak… Send your questions and voice notes to steve@bbc.co.uk or via whatsapp 0800 7831997 Marching on, together as one.
