An interesting pod this week. If we do say so ourselves, we talk frustrating forwards. We give

0:06.7

our view on Villa as their fixtures turn. And does anyone know if Ed Sheeran plays FPL?

Hello, welcome back. It's Thursday. Erling Harland went crazy last week. None of us triple captain Tim, but we're still in a good mood. Hello, Sam Bonfield. Hello, Julianne.
