This is The Guardian.

Hello, what's this, a sacking before our podcast.

0:15.0

This Evangelos Maranakis trying to undermine the behemoth that is the Guardian Football Weekly.

0:19.2

It's panic time at the bottom.

0:20.7

Sean Dyche gets sacked by Notting in Forest. Here comes Vitor Pereira. A goal of straw with wolves, not enough to save him. Dish must be wondering how they didn't score that six on one in the first half. In more traditional news, you've got your voice note yesterday. It's what we all wanted. Thomas Frank sacked by Spurs shortly after we finished recording. We'll analyze where it went wrong

and how good an interim of Red Knapp, Sherwood and Hoddle will do. Or Ange, anyone? Ange, anyone? Then back to the football, Burnley couldn't survive, could they? I mean, no, obviously, but a great win for them at Palace. For a few minutes, all of Yorgansrand Larson's worries disappeared, but then three goals in five minutes for Scott Parker, which sounded just as miserable as usual afterwards, but great for him.

0:56.0

Palace aren't out of the woods. Meanwhile, another defeat for Brighton, at least if he does get the sack, Fabian Herzlis young enough to retrain to do something else. Good win for Villa to keep the chasing pack at arm's length. And a good win for Liverpool, the first team to do that at Sunderland. they were good and it's that ominous Manchester city we see dispatching Fulham in the first half.

In other news, Jim Ratcliffe, they moved to Monaco as an immigrant a few years ago, starts immigrant bashing in the UK. What a guy. Barry says he has an interesting fact on every one of the 16 FA Cup ties this weekend. Hold on to your hats. We'll answer your questions. And that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

1:33.2

On the panel today, Will Unwin, hello. Good morning, Max.

1:37.4

Johnny Lou, welcome. Hi. And the man with the facts, Barry Glendening. Hello.

1:43.2

Hi, Max. John says, decent of Maranakis to fire Dish before the pod is recording, avoiding the need of a voice note.

1:44.5

However, knowing him, he'll have hired and subsequently fired Dyshe's replacement just after

1:48.5

the pot has been recorded. So a voice note will be needed. Let Barry do it for once. Okay,

1:53.1

then. So the bottom of the Premier League is really interesting after the results last night.

1:57.5

Burnley, 18 points from 26, Westtown 24, Spurs 29 Leads 30 Brighton 31 and Palace 32

2:05.4

We'll start with the sacking of Sean Deish

2:09.1

Will you were there last night to see the goalless draw

2:12.0

What do you what happened apart from the fact that it meant you had a very late night

2:16.6

I think in terms of the match, obviously Forrest were very unlucky.

2:21.2

35 shots, none going in.
