Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay and Priya Ramesh to chew over the latest football action. Starting with Tottenham’s 2-2 FA Cup draw away at Rochdale, we ask: are Rochdale to Spurs what Spurs are to Juventus?
VAR dominates the chat around Manchester United’s win at Huddersfield, with Barney in particular giving the innovation short shrift, before we discuss West Brom’s ill-fated mid-season training camp in Barcelona.
The panel discusses the rest of the fifth round, as well as painting a detailed picture of The One Show’s FA Cup draws, before moving on to the Football League and, in particular, the extraordinary way in which Ipswich hopes and dreams were snatched away at the last.
We hear from Sid Lowe about the latest La Liga happenings, including a guest appearance from Stella the dog, Archie Rhind-Tutt tells us what’s what in the Bundesliga before Bayern’s Champions League tie with Ryan Babel’s Besiktas, and we wrap up the rest of the action from Europe and beyond.
Back on Thursday!
