Football Talk is putting on its best Jack Torrance impression to proclaim our return.
Like many we are bowing at the feet of Vicente del Bosque’s all conquering Spanish side after their Euro 2012 triumph.
Feeling refreshed after our break, we’re ready to dive back into the good, the bad and the downright bizarre of the world game.
Today's offering includes Alan Shearer revealing the secret behind more Spanish success, some action for the MLS as well as James Traynor's opinion on the future for Scottish football.
