Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: some entry-level superlatives for Lionel Messi, Jean-Philippe Mateta and the "if you did that to someone on the street" test, some hugely undignified refereeing body language on the way for 2025/26, some technical issues with declaring "the fastest red card ever", a commentator in perfect sync with a stadium PA system and Eddie Howe describes the haka in the most Eddie Howe way possible. Meanwhile, the panel ponder what makes a win a brushing or a sweeping and wonder which footballer we could most easily rumble if they turned up to a local 5-a-side in disguise.

My giddy aunt, Fulham are in the FA Cup quarter final! In dramatic circumstances, Marco Silva reached deep in his pockets and found his Man United voucher just in time for Victor Lindelöf's penalty. Today, Luke, Jim and Pete join Marcus in celebrating that. Luke also condemns the way Jean-Philippe Mateta’s injury was handled by most of the parties involved. Plus, Pete reveals that he used to work in a sandwich factory. We’re going on tour! Get your tickets now: https://footballramblelive.com.

What’s that smell? Is it a European road trip with Jean-Philippe Mateta and the boys? The race for Europe is hotting up and Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete think that Crystal Palace may just have half an eye on trying to secure one of those European places. Elsewhere, we debate whether Southampton really could be the worst Premier League team of all time. Plus, we’re forced to endure the latest episode of the Man United sitcom: ‘The one with even more cuts’. We’re going on tour! Get your tickets now: https://footballramblelive.com.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Fulham fan Lewis James and Crystal Palace fan Ruaidhri McLoughlin-Dowd to discuss the latest at their clubs and some very important FPL assets ahead of Saturday's meeting at Craven Cottage. And by assets that doesn't just mean the players as Eagles boss Oliver Glasner is likely to be popular for Assistant Manager bonus point hunters and for those yet to deploy the Chip again he'll no doubt attract interest around GW32 when Palace double. But he's not been the best performing manager over the last couple of weeks as that honour goes to Saturday's opponent Marco Silva, as Fulham produced outstanding victories against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest that truly has them in contention for European qualification. Plus, those key FPL assets covered including Antonee Robinson, Kenny Tete's longer-term threat to Timothy Castagne; forwards Raul Jimenez and Jean-Phillipe Mateta, Dean Henderson, Ebe Eze, Ismaila Sarr and Daniel Munoz might not be the only Palace wing-back of interest in the weeks to come.

Day 3 of Correspondent Week concludes with Crystal Palace fan Ruaidhri McLaughlin-Dowd joining James to discuss his club who had an outstanding end to last season under Oliver Glasner and have a number of very interesting FPL assets. The futures of Marc Guehi and Ebe Eze are discussed and it's not implausible that both could follow Michael Olise through the exit door, and Ruaidhri has a warning for Fantasy owners of Eze even if it's confirmed he will stay. Jean-Phillipe Mateta couldn't stop scoring during the run-in but with him away at France and the Olympic final on Friday is he a likely absentee for the opener at Brentford? Plus, the new signings assessed (of which Ruaidhri currently has one for FPL), Joachim Andersen's high ownership, Daniel Munoz potential and the problem to picking the right 4.5 goalkeeper might have an answer. And are The Eagles the most likely team to break through into the top 8?

On the weekend review of DGW34 Suj returns to join James to discuss the 7 games played so far and for those who took the plunge on Crystal Palace attacking assets it was likely a good weekend with all of Eze, Olise and Mateta returning well. Arsenal and Everton defensive assets also returned well but there was large rotation for Liverpool in their victory at Fulham with Trent Alexander-Arnold being the one that got away for James. But at least he did have decent coverage of Palace, unlikely a certain someone... All the games discussed with thoughts already focusing beyond the rest of this double Gameweek and towards the final 4 weeks, which particular for James means thinking beyond just the 6 clubs who double in Gameweek 37. But those 6 will still make up the majority of slots for Wildcarders but are there any good defensive assets to pick from!? Plus, more VAR controversy, especially at Goodison which led to a stinging and unusual response from Forest, thoughts from the FA Cup semi finals including the heartbreaking near miss for Coventry against Manchester United and Suj reveals that he's leaving the country, permanently.

On this Planet FPL Clash of the Correspondents Podcast James is joined by Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson and Crystal Palace fan Migtavius to discuss all the latest at their clubs ahead of the final double gameweek of the season which includes Sunday's meeting for the two clubs at Villa Park. There's discussion on if Philippe Coutinho will get back into the Villa team following Saturday's excellent win at Burnley, if Danny Ings could now be the preferred forward option over Ollie Watkins for FPL managers, Lucas Digne's shock return and if he's now a better option in Fantasy than Matty Cash. Is there any reason for FPL managers not to buy Wilfried Zaha? Arguably not, but there are cheaper options that could be considered, they're discussed as are defensive enablers and so to is recently dropped Jean-Philippe Mateta. And with both clubs set for a mid table finish there's a look at what the longer term ambitions are for the two clubs...
