We're back in the studio, recording some live play this week as we move through March in season 11 - now combining the Premier League and Bundesliga.

On the domestic front, Shane's struggling to score goals but is doing a reasonable job of not conceding them at the same time. In Europe, however, Newcastle are on their way back with a 4-1 lead in town. Could he actually crack it and get Hoffenheim over the line at the expense of the magpies?

And as for Liverpool, well, they're a different kettle of fish altogether. Still putting teams under pressure in the league, the roles are reversed with the visit of Arsenal to Anfield in the last 16 of the Champions League while Ken gets to tackle title-rivals Man City, this time in the quarter-final stages of the FA Cup. Wedged in between are the visit of Brentford and a trip to St. Mary's to take on struggling Southampton. 

We've got some loose thoughts on FM24, community updates and more besides.

Plus, if you get this before 27 August, Shane's headng to AEW in Wembley. Find him, say hi.
