This week on a jam packed episode of the Big Man Up Top! Ed and Joe are discussing the dramatic AFCON Final between Senegal and Morocco and looking back on the Premier league action, including the Manchester Derby. For some reason, Producer Tom is interested in sprinklers and Ed is in the Away End... of his home team? Stat Matt brings us some figures on the success of the league two team, Bromley. And Ed is joined by comedian and West Ham fan Rob Morgan (@robbiemorgz) as they discuss why humor is so important, in football, in the church and in our lives.
