We start by discussing lower attendances across the FA Cup; a sign the magic of the competition is finally fading?
We discuss all the results of the third round, including Liverpool’s impressive victory and Manchester United’s dull draw, as well as fallout from Tom Pope’s tweet, Football League action and a shock victory in the Coupe de France for an amateur side from the island of Réunion who made a 9,000km trip to play.
Back on Thursday.
PS: we’re heading down to Brighton, the Sallis Benney Theatre, 20 January. More information here.
