Summary
Marcus, Luke and Jim round off a barnstorming FA Cup weekend by reminding everyone what the magic of the cup is really about: not getting slapped 10-1 or beating the holders, but the friends we made along the way.
In more spiky corners of the pod, we try to work out the traits needed to be classified a ‘big club’ and run through some of our biggest flops of the season. Plus, we flip the age old Ramble question on his head: who’s the Premier League manager you’d *least* want alongside you in a fight? Outrageous accusations ensue.
