50 Minutes of Football in 106 Minutes | Farke's Red, Longstaff's Volley & The Road to Wembley

James and Rocco are back after a break from the mic - and there's plenty to unpack. Leeds United have two back-to-back league defeats, Farke's red card and that brilliant press conference, Sunderland's masterclass in anti-football (50 minutes of actual play out of 106 allocated - the stats don't lie), the Ramadan booing controversy and the media's lazy take on it, plus that glorious FA Cup night against Norwich. Sean Longstaff, where did THAT volley come from?

We look ahead to Crystal Palace away with Farke back on the touchline, the Brentford night game, and an FA Cup quarter-final trip to West Ham. The Opta supercomputer gives Leeds an 8% chance of going down - but does it know our history? Plus: Ampadu's wobble, Buonanotte's bench life, Archie Gray being the only Spur who cares, and Scubala taking Lincoln City to the top of League One.

Dara's away this week so normal service is suspended. No order. No structure.
