John Murray, Alistair Bruce-Ball and Ian Dennis are back after the Carabao Cup quarter finals.
Ian still has the Captain Pugwash theme in his ears as he recounts a historic evening for Fleetwood.

Rick & Lloyd are joined by Julien Laurens to discuss how Roberto De Zerbi is slowly moulding Spurs into his image – and after a blockbuster summer, Julien explains why he is undoubtedly the league’s most powerful manager. How far will this transformation go? Whisper it: could Spurs be last season’s Manchester United?
Elsewhere, Rick takes up the mantle from the Monday Night Club and finds out which player has scored the most ‘luxury’ goals this season and Lloyd is off to see Boca Juniors vs River Plate this weekend – otherwise known as the Superclásico, one of football’s fiercest rivalries. Oracle of South American football Tim Vickery tells him how to survive it. Or not.

Rick & Lloyd are joined by Oliver Kay, Senior football writer at The Athletic, Joe Smith from Stretford Paddock and BBC Sport’s Chief football news reporter Simon Stone after a surreal day at Old Trafford. Can anyone pull Manchester United out of this mess?
Michael Carrick suffered a tumultuous afternoon, where defeat on the pitch came with support in the stands – but at the expense of his players. Was this one of the strangest atmospheres we've ever seen at Man Utd? And is there someone, anyone, that will want to take this impossible job? If not, could Michael Carrick be safe after all...
We try to get to the bottom of all of those questions swirling around Old Trafford. Oh, and would a hug from Lloyd make everything better? Rick thinks probably not. Manchester United fans, drop us a WhatsApp on 08000 289 369.
