Summary

Have the FA Cup quarter-finals shown the importance of the competition? Mark Chapman is joined by Rory Smith, Chris Sutton and Monday Night Club debutant Joe Hart to discuss the weekend’s FA Cup action. They look at why the FA Cup is so important for so many teams, and discuss the benefits of a range of teams lifting the trophy. Former Crystal Palace player and coach Shaun Derry drops by to discuss his former club’s remarkable run to the semi final as they reach their second FA Cup semi final in four years. Arsenal’s new sporting director is also a topic of conversation – how does the dynamic of the manager having a say in their appointment work? Hear from Mikel Arteta on his appointment. Joe also gives a masterclass in goalkeeping and the work goalkeepers put into preparing for a penalty shootout, and he remembers saving a penalty from Lionel Messi! Plus, after Brian Graham was appointed interim manager of Partick Thistle men (alongside Mark Wilson) until the end of the season, he joins the podcast to explain how he balances that with being the captain, leading goalscorer and women’s team manager!
