This is the Guardian Football Weekly.

It's the third round of the Cup weekend everybody.

Remember when the pod was hosted by Gerald Sinstadt from the team bus at 8 in the

morning and the whole family would sit around the sepia toned iPod to listen.

Fast forward to 2024 and there was just enough magic, some great games and some ridiculous goals to make it all worthwhile.

Arsenal, Liverpool didn't disappoint, not being able to score becoming a

recurring theme for the gunners who missed a lot of chances before Liverpool started to miss lots

too before eventually finding away. Before that, Maidstone the fairy tale of the round,

beating Stephenage, 69 places above them on the 4G in Kent.

What a nice chap George Elicobe appears to be.

Good efforts from Blackpool Bristol City in Bolton who all earned replays against

Premier League sides. Play them before the big boys get replays cancelled altogether

and lots of kicking the ball incredibly hard

Beyond the Cup

let the bucket loads begin for Timo Burner as he joins

Angie's Revolution and well-known Jordan Henderson who's completed his mission to grow the game in

Saudi Arabia and now wants to come back, presumably to reinstate himself as the

ally we all thought he was.

All that plus your questions and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, unwind welcome good morning max
