Pete and Johnny are on the eve of Southampton in the FA Cup — and with back-to-back cup games before the big league run-in begins, the vibe has genuinely shifted. This one is buzzy, optimistic and full of things to look forward to.

Here’s what’s inside:

🔥 Hottest of Takes — Johnny makes a passionate case for two players the fanbase seems to have forgotten about, while Pete highlights a teenager who nobody’s talking about for this weekend but absolutely should be

🏆 How Seriously Are We Taking The FA Cup? — a proper debate about how much to rotate, what winning it would mean in the context of this season, and whether ending up with just an FA Cup is too embarrassing to contemplate

⚽ Miles Lewis-Skelly Must Start — both fullback options are out, the under-21s were electric, and this is his moment to remind everyone what he’s about. But Pete wants solidity, not fireworks

😤 Man United Sniffing Around Miles — the conversation about whether Arsenal could ever be talked into selling, what the fee would need to be, and why the answer is probably more complicated than most fans want to admit

🔮 Predictions — Johnny and Pete have their say on the scoreline. Don’t miss it before kick-off
