  • Sir, a second Man United email has been leaked

    47:58|
    Marcus, Luke and Pete dust themselves down and go again after Spurs and Man United played out a disappointing damp squib.

  • Mailbag: Should football ban over-celebrating?

    42:20|
    After the simply marvellous scenes at Goodison Park this week, some fun sponges had the audacity to say that the Everton players and fans went 'too far' with their celebrations.Now, it's not the first time we've heard that in recent times. Myles Lewis-Skelly ruffled a few feathers after copying Erling Haaland's celebration, and Paul Scholes called Neal Maupay an "idiot" for copying James Maddison's darts celebration.Marcus, Luke & Vish have their say on that, plus we find out their choice of Mario Kart characters.It's not one to miss.We’re going on tour!

Elsewhere, Arsenal bring some striker-less vibes to Leicester, Man City face an onslaught from Newcastle’s big boys and we play out a Jack’s Encyclopaedia round for the ages.Plus, ever wondered how Jason Tindall would fare in the Love Island villa?
