The Magic of the Cup!  Or, not.  It's hard to tell exactly if Thomas Frank made the right decisions regarding prioritizing the FA Cup, and so we try to make sense of a frustrating weekend. 

This week we're joined by absolutely exceptional Glenn Houlihan, direct from Iowa City (via Ealing) to discuss a game we probably wanted to win, might of tried harder to win, and possibly wanted to take to a replay.  Maybe. 

Along with Greville Waterman, the discussion expands to thinking about our dealings in the transfer window so far, and how it impacts the squad as it currently exists, and we look ahead to an important match with Bournemouth.   Doesn't every match seems to be the important one?  

We are approaching the half-way point in the season, so we look ahead to Leeds, Southampton and beyond.  Along the way we make time for Asmir Begovic, Jarred Gillett, and of course Romeo Beckham.
