Chelsea in the cup was chaos, Fulham was worse, and the axe finally fell. Sam, Harry and Jack sift through a grim week for Wolves: the baffling line-ups, the red card, whether Vítor Pereira lost the dressing room, and what the fan open letter to Fosun actually achieved.

Then it is the live debate on who comes in next, from Big Sam and Robbie Keane to Rob Edwards and Rui Vitória, before a realistic look at Chelsea away and score predictions. Plenty of gallows humour from the away end, some straight talk on keepers and service to the striker, and a plea for basic sanity from the boardroom.
