Before we get going, there's a couple of birthday shoutouts that we need to do.

Firstly, a very happy birthday to Seb, who will be eight on the 25th of May.

I hope that you have a really, really good day and you enjoy yourself.

Seb lives in Qatar, the same place where the World Cup was held, and he was lucky enough

to go to the World Cup final.

What a moment and a memory that will be.

So a big shout out to Seb who plays for Evo Sports and is a huge football fan and his brother

Ozzy who is also a listener of the podcast, and absolutely loves Erling Harland.

A massive shout out to the pair of you, and thank you so much for being listeners.

Happy birthday, Seb.

Another birthday shout out this week goes to Kip Nolan, whose birthday is on the 22nd of May.

So happy birthday to you, Kip,

I know that you are a massive Fulham fan.

I also know that you've got a big treat in store for your birthday in relation to Fulham.
