FA Cup giantkilling, Tottenham troubles and 'Big Alan' – Football Weekly

Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and email.

We look back at the weekend of football just gone, starting with Millwall and AFC Wimbledon booting out Premier League opposition in front of rapturous support.

Spurs lost at Crystal Palace to take a second cup competition out of their schedule in the space of four days, while Chelsea were the only Premier League side who managed to negotiate their way past lower-league opposition at the first time of asking.

We cover the Football League, where the big story came via a misjudged screenshot, football north of the border, and then to the continent where Paolo Bandini and Archie Rhind-Tutt fill us in on the weekend’s action across the biggest leagues in Europe.

Back on Thursday, as will – hopefully – comments.

PS: we have a new show at EartH in east London – Max, Barry plus two – more information and tickets can be found here.
