On this week's episode, the trio chat about Nathan Collins' form with Brentford, and who could be in with a shout of getting into the defensive positions in March's squad for Czechia. Is Andrew Omobamidele's new found form at Strasbourg going to catapult him into the picture, or what about James Abankwah's strong displays for Watford in the English Championship? With the game coming ever closer, who is going to partner Troy Parrott up top, will it be Chiedozie Ogbene? And what is the latest on Evan Ferguson's injury woe at Roma? There is a healthy discussion around Jack Moylan and whether he could be in a squad, and also is there room for a Sinclair Armstrong? Matthew regales the excellence of fan favourite David 'Didzy' McGoldrick and what could have been. After Minister for Sport Patrick O'Donovan's comments after the Louth derby, the lads get into why Irish football fan culture is so important and why it is changing.

On this People's Poll Podcast Suj & James challenge the difficult conversation around the Y Word, a word reclaimed by Tottenham fans in the 1970s to fight back against anti semitic and racist opposition fans. But is it right that Tottenham fans still use the word? James tries to give a balanced side of the argument from both sides as a Tottenham fan who had used the word for many years but made a decision some time ago not to use it any more and recounts experiences at games and why removing the word from the conversation has to be something led by Tottenham fans themselves. Coming Up on Wednesday on Planet FPL - Planet SkyFF s3 ep20, discussing all the latest in Sky Fantasy Football. ____________________________________________ Want to become a member of our FPL community?
