Some clichés are clichés for a reason and, this weekend, the magic of the FA cup truly lived up to it.
But before that, Musa and Ryan begin episode 600 (!!!) with a round-up of the Bundesliga’s return (02:59), the AFCON quarter-finals (06:23), Inter and Napoli’s 2-2 draw (10:53), plus Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España.
Then, it’s onto the FA Cup third round, starting with Macclesfield’s incredible win to knock holders Crystal Palace out (15:35), plus some other key results, Manchester United’s defeat to Brighton and some flowers for Danny Welbeck (26:38). Then, there’s a bit of a conversation about the FA Cup’s continued revival in an ever increasing football calendar.

Well, not exactly a quiet start to the year. After Enzo Maresca left Chelsea last week, Ruben Amorim was then sacked by Manchester United on Monday.
After a quick round-up of some AFCON results (03:11), Musa and Ryan chat about Amorim’s departure (06:34), what it means for him, for Manchester United and where manager and club might go next. During that conversation, there’s also a detour onto Maresca (19:103), before rounding up the the rest of the Premier League (35:22), La Liga, Serie A, Wilfried Nancy’s sacking at Celtic and much more.

AFCON kicked off in Rabat, as Morocco opened with a 2-0 over Comoros in a game that featured an incredible overhead from Ayoub El Kaabi.
Musa and Ryan begin there, before chatting about Kylian Mbappé, who equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid record for goals in a calendar year (05:28), as well as how impressive his time at the Bernabéu has been, despite getting off to a tricky start.
Next up, it’s Leeds’ turn to get the props (18:32), after another great result, this time to Crystal Palace, that sees a great run from Daniel Farke’s side continue. There’s chat about the rest of the Premier League, including Aston Villa’s win over Manchester United (24:07), wins for the top two, Liverpool’s win at Spurs (33:37) and much more!

A little later than usual, but recorded just before the wild Manchester United v Bournemouth game (sorry!), Musa and Ryan quickly round-up some big results from the weekend around Europe (03:24), including the Premier League, Real Madrid getting back to winning ways, St. Pauli getting their first Bundesliga since September and much more.
Then it’s onto the trip from this weekend (17:11), where they visited Venezia for their win over Monza and then San Siro for Milan’s draw against Sassuolo. It was the first time that Musa and Ryan had visited both the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo and San Siro, so they chat about the uniqueness of both, the contrasting surroundings and how overwhelming it can be to visit an iconic stadium for the first time.

There’s some important admin up top about the upcoming Christmas episodes, a Patreon offer and news on our next show at the Southbank Centre!
Musa and Ryan then chat about Mo Salah’s mixed zone comments that followed Liverpool’s 3-3 draw away at Leeds which look like starting the process of him potentially leaving the club (09:07) and is the latest situation in an already very difficult season.
The Salah situation mean that there isn’t as much chat about the game itself, but there is also praise for Leeds (26:22), as well as Aston Villa’s late win over Arsenal at Villa Park and a quick round-up of some other Premier League games.
There’s also time to shout out some other results from the weekend (36:07), including Hearts' win at Celtic, the MLS Cup, Arab Cup, the WSL, Serie A and La Liga, before some thoughts on the World Cup draw (42:14), which took place on Friday.

There’s a lot to get through today, but Musa and Ryan begin with shouting out Flamengo’s Copa Libertadores win before moving on to the Premier League.
They discuss the scrappy 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Arsenal (06:52), which probably worked out as a good point for both sides in the end, plus wins for Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and all the rest of the Premier League games (18:50).
Elsewhere, the tops of Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1 are very close, so there’s chat about some key results from those leagues (42:04) and a quick shout for the Bundesliga, MLS and more!
London listeners, we're just three days away from our first show at the Southbank Centre! There are still some tickets left, so get yours here.

After a men’s international break that delivered some wonderfully joyful moments, the Eberechi Eze hat-trick for Arsenal, in his first North London derby, was up there.
Musa and Ryan chat about Eze’s historic feat, during his childhood club’s 4-1 win over Spurs at the Emirates Stadium, which sent the Gunners six points clear.
They then move on to the rest of the Premier League (22:54), including Chelsea moving up to second, Newcastle’s win over Manchester City and—while there’s a lot of chat about the Liverpool side of it—Nottingham Forest winning back to back games at Anfield for the first time in 62 years (29:02).
Elsewhere, Milan won the Derby della Madonnina to go second behind Roma (41:17), Barcelona were back at Camp Nou and closed the gap after Real Madrid dropped more points (46:56) and there’s some chat about the Bundesliga and more (50:27).

Wow. Just wow. Troy Parrott takes the headlines once again!
Musa and Ryan chat about his amazing hat-trick in Budapest to take Ireland to the playoffs for the 2026 World Cup, ahead of Hungary. They also chat about DR Congo’s penalty shootout win, which saw them qualify and means Nigeria will miss the tournament once more.
Then, it’s onto England’s perfect qualifying campaign (16:04), plus a discussion about the weird discourse that continues to surround Jude Bellingham (21:22), a defence for a player that should be celebrated and reasons why an England qualifying campaign isn’t allowed to be routine and calm.
There’s also a wrap up and shout outs of the WSL, NWSL, Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid and more (36:26).
We're now less than three weeks away from our first live show at the Southbank Centre in London. So, if you haven't already, please go get your tickets here!

It was a rollercoaster weekend in the Premier League, with many clubs being thrown from joy one minute to despair the next.
Musa and Ryan focus on Manchester City’s 3-0 over Liverpool (03:30), which saw another goal for Erling Haaland and arguably Jeremy Doku’s best performance in a City shirt so far. For Liverpool, it was another day to forget and there’s yet more to ponder for Arne Slot during this men's international break.
Sunderland did what no side has done this season, by scoring two against Arsenal at the Stadium of Light (21:38), there was late drama at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and more great wins for Villa, West Ham, Brentford and Everton. There's also chat about Pep Guardiola, after he reached 1000 games as a manager this weekend.
All the non-Premier League stuff will be on the midweek show, up Wednesday for members, and for any London listeners, don't forget to get tickets for our first live show at the Southbank Centre here.
