A penalty shoot-out, a red card, superstars humbled, wild celebrations and a post match F bomb – Fleetwood Town’s win over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup had almost everything you could ask for in a game of football.

We chat to Ken about Mad Max, Arteta’s man management and why there’s something deeply strange about the Mbappe – Mao – dictator apology story.

Jack Carty and Gerry Thornley are on to discuss Leinster power, Munster’s pretty patterns, Furlong’s potential ban, and why it’s so hard find a good 13 these days.

Plus there’s Lancaster V Leo, RWC 2027 state of mind and the return of the interpro beef.
