On the podcast today, Jurgen Klopp fumes at the very fundamentals of the FA Cup as Shrewsbury Town hold them to a 2-2 draw. We ask whether the replays should be scrapped.
Elsewhere how deep do problems at Manchester United and West Ham run, are they both broken clubs? 
Plus, the most boring transfer window in memory, Haaland can’t stop scoring and deliciously poor sportsmanship.

As a football fan, you might be interested in the new show that we've been working on - The Telegraph Women's Sport podcast.  We’ve all enjoyed seeing the rise of coverage in women’s sport in recent years, but there is undoubtedly still work to do. Join Olympic hockey legend Sam Quek as she chats to women across the sporting world about the big issues affecting them.  This episode looks at one of the hottest topics in women’s sport right now: ACL - three letters that can strike fear into sportspeople. An anterior cruciate ligament injury means a lengthy spell on the sidelines and women are more likely to suffer them than men. But why? How can the risk be reduced? And what is it like to go through rehab for such a serious knee injury?   Sam is joined by three people who know more about this tricky injury than most. Fiona Pocock won more than 30 caps for England and played in the 2010 Rugby World Cup, but she also spent long periods on the sidelines with injury. She now runs her own personal training company, specialising in female-specific programmes. Tess Braunerova is a Premiership rugby player & international for the Czech Republic - she did her ACL the season before last. And Tom Jacobs is a chartered physiotherapist who has worked in both elite and grass-roots sport. He helped set up the Sporting Knee Injury Prevention Programme (SKIPP) after seeing an increase in ACL ruptures amongst teenagers playing sport.
