It's going to cost a lot of money to go to this summer's World Cup. So what will happen to the atmosphere at games?

Marcus, Luke and David return to Friday's discussion about the true cost of the 2026 World Cup. Plus, is Unai Emery the best Premier League manager of the last five years apart from Pep? The lads also discuss which of the Prem's long-standing records looks the hardest to break and what's more important: football or love?
