The magic of the cup is real

Some clichés are clichés for a reason and, this weekend, the magic of the FA cup truly lived up to it. But before that, Musa and Ryan begin episode 600 (!!!) with a round-up of the Bundesliga’s return (02:59), the AFCON quarter-finals (06:23), Inter and Napoli’s 2-2 draw (10:53), plus Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España. Then, it’s onto the FA Cup third round, starting with Macclesfield’s incredible win to knock holders Crystal Palace out (15:35), plus some other key results, Manchester United’s defeat to Brighton and some flowers for Danny Welbeck (26:38). Then, there’s a bit of a conversation about the FA Cup’s continued revival in an ever increasing football calendar. Tickets for our second live show at London's Southbank Centre are on sale now!
