Wayne looks back on a classic FA Cup weekend, beginning with Wrexham’s thrilling tie with Chelsea - a game he says was the most he has enjoyed since retiring from playing. He also reflects on the atmosphere at the Racecourse Ground, the controversial red card that changed the match and why he believes VAR is removing emotion from the game.
The team also discuss the weekend's big cup upsets, with Wayne questioning why so many teams still rest players in a competition he believes should always be taken seriously. He explains why cup runs matter so much to supporters and why the FA Cup remains one of football’s greatest competitions.

Listen wherever you get your BBC podcasts.
Do you know what? I think it's the most I've enjoyed the game
football team to stop playing.
It's probably the first time I've been to stadium,
and not being given any stick as well.
So, I just hate it.
I just don't like it at all.
It's just taking every emotion out of gold celebrations,
and like we've seen red cards,
given for some things which is crazy.
Do you enjoy those set pieces, though, way?
It's part of...
It's said pieces are part of football,
so...
No, but like all the pushing and jostling as well.
Yeah, but when they were betting with whipping free kicks in from 2025,
you had...
It's a piece of genius.
OK, so you guys are going to tell me that there was no football this weekend,
because Man United didn't play,
but it was of course FA Cup weekend.
Wayne, you weren't recsome.
Did you enjoy it?
It looked like it was a bit wild,
and I mean, what a cup tie.
Do you know what?
I think it's the most I've enjoyed the game
football team to stop playing.
Really?
Yeah, really enjoyed it.
Just the atmosphere, the...
The fans...
We had to walk through the fans quite a bit to get to pitch out,
and stuff, and the fans were great.
It's probably the first time I've been to stadium,
and not being given any stick as well, so...
That was my next question.
Were they nice to you?
Yeah, that was nice, but...
No, just the atmosphere, the game.
I thought it was a really good game.
Reaction was excellent.
Unfortunately, not to go through,
and yeah, really enjoyed it.
So Red Card changed the whole game for them, didn't it?
It did, and...
I thought you don't think it's a Red Card.
I think he's going quite quick,
but he hasn't caught him high.
He's...
I just don't think it's a Red Card at all,
so I think he should have stuck with the referee decision.
What did you think, Kay?
You know, I just think it's a bit unfair
for VAR to be judging teams that don't usually play with VAR.
Yeah, but I don't even think it's a risk.
I just think it...
It knows that if he doesn't make the tackle,
you know, Garnatio goes past and they're in trouble.
So he's made a fair tackle
and made sure he hasn't won the ball.
He's took the play, it happens all the time.
We've all been there as players,
and it's a yellow card, you know.
And I think, and that's where VAR, again,
I just hate it.
I just don't like it at all.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's going to go anywhere,
but it's for me, it's just taken every motion,
even the goal at the end, and I was tough side,
and they get that right,
but it just taken every emotion out of goal celebration,
and like we've seen red cards,
given for some things which is crazy,
and yeah, unfortunately.
It's the consistency of it, isn't it?
Yeah, that's the issue then.
Did you get it wrong?
And did you get it wrong?
Did you get it right a lot of times,
but when did you get it wrong?
It's just...
Football is the emotion, the joy of football,
for me, that is going year by year,
and, you know, soon, probably anytime soon,
they're going to end up with a robot,
or no referee in the middle of the pitch,
because that's how it's going, and it's a shame.
Do you think it can affect players, though?
Like, if they're not used to playing it,
as Kay kind of mentioned there,
do you think, if you're not used to having it,
what would it be like for the likes of your rec sometimes?
No, I don't think, as a player,
you're thinking about it on the pitch,
especially the tackle yesterday.
You know, there was one year today,
which games, where he was offside by a nose,
the Tottenham Palace game,
and it's just ridiculous,
it's some of the decisions which are given,
and I was speaking to...
When we were speaking to the referee,
he was on here,
and I'm just saying about the five centimeters rule,
well, that guy's nose.
If SARS knows, I don't think it was five centimeters.
So if the saying is offside by that,
then it's just ridiculous,
it's fair to get a goal given early on the season,
and then we're seeing one's customers,
one I think was against West Ham as well.
I think there's no consistency
in the decisions to give them.
Well, it's on Chelsea,
because Rexon were brilliant, weren't they?
I mean, they want to get promoted.
They're in the playoff places in the championship,
at the moment they look good value
for kind of potentially doing it this season,
if not their next season.
But what about Chelsea?
What did you make them?
I know they made a lot of changes.
Yeah, again, I just don't think.
In the FAQ, I know they've got champions leaving it weekend,
and they've got a lot of players,
but the quality of players they play,
they should be winning a game.
But I still don't agree with the amount of changes,
which teams, not your Chelsea,
but teams are making in the FAQ up.
And I thought they don't really well to get through that tie last night,
because Rexon were already a fans rallying,
and I've been there of playing games like that,
where it's very difficult to get through them,
that tie,
he and both of them to get through it.
I'm sure we'll be in a big relief for...
Can I try to game every life, didn't he?
A Chelsea, can I try to play?
Well, he did against us as well.
I think we can, I chose just to end product,
can you deliver a bit more system goals?
But yeah, I think for Chelsea,
I think that's just a big relief.
And I don't think...
You would, you could see, he didn't want to bring gel pads on.
After they get the clouds up,
but then he brings them on,
and he gets the winning goalies,
and he's in great form for a minute,
so I think it'll just be relief for Chelsea getting through last night.
Well, you see, when you're playing a lower league side sometimes,
as a Premier League side,
why does it become so hard?
Is it literally just the atmosphere and stuff?
Because a lot of the time fans are expecting you to steamroll,
I think.
No, it could be, everything could be the atmosphere,
it could be the pitch,
you know, the fans are close, closer to you,
the dressing rooms are ungrating.
If we make excuses,
and we've seen it many times,
and I think a lot of the foreign players found that difficult.
The good players, the players you play,
it's, of course, not playing to your level,
but the good players,
and they're given everything to time to beat you,
because it's a time causing upsets,
so I think that's why the FA Cup is the best cup in the world.
And when I'm seeing teams rest in players all the time,
especially teams who aren't, you know, in Europe,
and they don't need to,
and it's an opportunity,
we've seen it last year with Crystal Palace,
going with the FA Cup,
the FA Cup in 95,
giving me my best moment as a fan.
I just think it's a shame,
and maybe, again, maybe that's foreign managers as well,
and the pressure on managers now,
losing the jobs with every game,
which goes by, so it's difficult,
but I still think the FA Cup,
for me, you've played your strongest team regardless.
Yeah, I do.
I felt like that were a bit today,
like watching the likes of Fulham,
missed opportunities for teams that are safe in the Premier League.
Yeah, I want you safe in the Premier League.
You see Sunland's game, the rest of the few players,
and Sunland's had a fantastic season,
but why not try and make it even better,
and why not try and go to the next level and to the court final,
then, potentially, semi-found,
you don't know anything can happen from there,
so why not try and give the fans something different
and something a bit of action,
and for me, that's where it's just disappointing,
you know, teams,
rest players, and don't really take it that serious.
Also, does it not affect your momentum as a teamweight?
So, say, if you're on a good run in a league,
and then you make so many changes,
and then you lose,
does it not affect your form afterwards as well?
Do heads not drop down?
100%, and, you know, it can affect many things,
because if you bring players into the team,
and they don't do well, and you get knocked out,
then that affects that player individually,
and is minded,
then how is he around the three-ground?
That was he, as being a team,
he gone back to the bench,
and sort of the mood of,
and the atmosphere around the three-grounds.
So, there's many different things
in which you can affect your rest and players,
and, of course, momentum,
if you've got good momentum going into it,
then it takes that right out the window,
so, yeah, I think it's in many different ways,
and it can affect your ball.
For me, the FA Cup is,
is still one of my greatest memories as a player as well,
wouldn't lift any FA Cup,
doing it as captain as well.
I just think it's undervalued at the minute.
Just a quick word as well,
and, well, Pedro,
because we always speak to you about various strikers,
but he's very much,
probably one of the most informed strikers
in the league at the moment,
would you say,
what have you noticed that's changed
about him, under William Rossiniar?
I think he's just
settling into his position,
isn't he?
And, you know, we come on,
yes, he was outstanding,
I thought, he was out left for Chelsea,
when he run the pressure,
he was taking the ball,
he was calm, always seemed to have time.
On the ball, and then scores a great goal.
And, yeah, I think we've always,
we've seen, obviously,
before Brighton, he's a good player.
But I think there's just a consistency,
and now, over the last few weeks,
in playing, playing in the right position,
and scoring goals,
obviously, is given him confidence.
So, yeah, I think he's,
he's probably as the most informed,
forward in the league, to me.
I'm doing the highlights tonight,
and that's why I'm,
if you are watching this on YouTube,
you may notice that I'm going to see
the wings often in that,
and when he's doing match of the day,
I'm doing it this evening.
I'm with Glen Murray,
and he's obviously someone that's watched
a lot of show-out Pedro,
and we were kind of discussing
what his best position is,
because he's played out wide,
and he's played as a number nine.
But I'm wondering if his position now,
kind of a bit more like a ten, is he?
Is that what he is now?
For me, I play him as a nine,
and I'm,
let him, almost like what Harry Kane is doing by Munich,
and Totti,
done it for Roma many years back as well,
and he's clever enough to come into position,
say to Bob, but then the way Chelsea play now,
you've seen it with Neto and Garnature at Wards,
and he hold the wits,
or they hold the backland back,
and he can come into the spaces,
but then once the ball goes up Wards,
he's in the penalty box,
and for me, that's the default now,
and if you like, I think that's perfect.
He's not really got any competition anymore
in that space either.
I think anytime he comes on,
he actually announces himself,
and he always has a good performance,
and he's sort of made that position, he's own, I think.
Yeah, yeah, and I think Liam Delap,
he's still gold, obviously, with injuries,
and he hasn't, you know,
challenged Shell Pedal rarely,
for that position when he's played,
and he's still young lad,
and still a lot to learn,
and a lot to improve on.
So from that point through ball,
regardless of what Delap is doing,
and the Shell Pedal always
is making a very difficult scene
to leave off the team.
It's so important that the move you make, isn't it,
because in the summer, he was being titled
by like Man United and Chelsea,
and other big clubs as well,
like Newcastle and I were in for him as well, I think,
and now, obviously, I think,
the way it's gone, and a few unlucky injuries,
and bad performances,
he stalks sort of like, diminished, hasn't it?
Yeah, this is tough, and again, he's a young lad,
and he shoots at the pitch when the way he's played
in the Premier League, and, you know,
Tirek Balls or Trim running into the space,
and, you know, using his power.
Hold not defenders, but I think the way Chelsea plays
a bit more precise, more possession-based,
and you have to be a bit clever at why
Shell Pedal was doing well, he's in tighter areas,
and get your touch right, and things like that.
So it's a bit different to what he was used to in the pitch,
so hopefully, he improves, and he'd learn stuff,
or at the minute, yeah, I think he's found it difficult.
Wayne, you said you're at the game,
are you going to be in the next deadpool movie now?
No, I was in the Teppu commercial for a few years back.
Been there, done that, he's...
So, yeah, did you meet the owners?
No, I did, I was at a pub, I think.
Yeah, but what I will say is, honestly, I say it again,
that atmosphere, I really enjoyed it,
that there's...
We've been favourite games since a stop plane was passed on
into Milan in the same final last year,
and this one's took over, I really enjoyed it.
Wowsers, Rex and Fanzel, I absolutely love that,
you're going from talking about Barcelona games,
but you enjoyed his trip to the race course.
Okay, let's talk about some of the other big stories from the weekend,
then there's so many, by the way,
we also have to give massive congratulations
to Port Vale beating Sunderland,
because that is an incredible story,
but focusing on one of the games
between two Premier League Giants,
Newcastle, One Man City 3.
What did you make of Man City, firstly, Wayne?
Is this another signal that they are back to their best?
Because I think Eddie House, at one point,
it was like they had them in a stranglehold.
Yeah, I think the...
The I've been...
City of being good,
of the last few weeks,
an efficient and getting results,
obviously, the...
the last game in the league.
Against Fathers was a disappointment for them,
but yeah, City at the best,
they're obviously top team,
very difficult to beat and play against them.
I think it's probably the reaction
that Diolo will have wanted after the Fathers came.
So yeah, I think it's no surprise,
with City with the squad and the players they've got
and the quality they've got that they performed on.
Like that, I think Newcastle,
you're hoping that the fans turn up
and they can make it as difficult as the...
the camp for City, but if City at the best,
then I think they can blow up any team,
like, on Savinio when he came on.
Oh, Savinio was good.
Yeah, Savinio was really good.
That goal was quite funny.
I don't know how much you knew about it,
but it just hit him and went in and I thought,
did he mean that?
Yeah, that's what I was trying to ask him,
but you need to have been in luck
all the other times as well,
and for any of your time in play,
when things like that happened,
you should always come out and say,
you meant it.
Regardless, but no,
it needs a little bit of luck as well,
but yeah, I think for City,
getting players back and players
challenging you, the players,
competition for places,
will be key for them in this running
because, obviously, it's up on the point
and gives us a big advantage.
But having players back and players come into the team
and do well, obviously,
it's great for...

It's 2009 and we're in the German mountains.
A man straps himself into a car on the world's most dangerous racetrack.

In 15 minutes, he's in an ambulance on conscious,

He's a billionaire.
This is Total Wolf,
Formula One's most powerful team boss,
and the breakout star of Drive to Survive.
This week on Good Bad Billionaire,
how Total Wolf made his billions.
Listen wherever you get your BBC podcasts.
By the oil.
Did you see Pep on the touch on off-seek or yellow card?
And he's going to be missing from the touch line for a couple of games.
And I wonder if that is maybe a reflection of a difficult week
for man sitting and everything that they can't sit on.
Yeah, that'll be just a motion.
He will have been raging after the fodders game.
Obviously to get back to within touching distance of our stall
and then let that lead slip against fodders,
he will have been raging.
That's just an emotion,
which he's been holding for the last few days.
And that all that's coming out and coming out.
But what a senior David Roberts would
against Liverpool when he ran down?
Did he knock it but?
I don't think.
He did it twice, didn't he?
I don't think he got booked at the end.
And then I'm just going back to the David Moose
one when Moosey got booked.
Rob Bedford's one sound.
The whole length of the touch land.
Boops the ball into the crowd.
So the way to do things is great.
I'm not saying I want him booked.
Come on, let them off the van, of course.
Yeah, no, but I'm not saying I want him booked.
But I'm just saying again, the consistency.
Why did David Moose get booked and banned?
It's like kicking a man when he's down.
Yeah, no, I hope he gets away with it.
But I'm just again.
He's going to get a retrospective yellow
because of the way Mooney can.
No, he won't, but he...
No, it's more for the fact that when Moosey just went on to the pitch,
slightly, he gets booked.
I think with the quite the other thing,
it sort of reminded me a little of
that year when you're not, you went out of the champion.
When Nanny got a red card and Fergie came
running down because he was so angry of it.
Because he in his head knew he was leaving.
And I feel like there might be an element of that
where I feel like Guadilla wants to win something before he leaves.
Maybe I'm imagining things, right?
But I feel like he does want to win something.
If the league is out of reach, he still does want to win a trophy.
No, I don't think the league's out of reach just yet.
And I think there's still obviously
well within that type of race.
Yeah, for me, it's more of a frustration,
which he's had over the last couple of days.
He'll be scratching his head of how he didn't be
forested, and that will have been eating him inside.
And yeah, sometimes it boils over.
And you get a yellow card, that's football.
Just a quick word where that leaves the title race.
Because I don't know, Arsenal have gone through.
We knew Arsenal were probably going to go through,
although Mansfield were brilliant as well.
Yeah, no, well, I'm getting for the Arsenal,
and I've heard over the last week a lot of people talking about the Arsenal
how they're playing.
I think Arsenal have been brilliant.
Football is played in different ways.
And you know, you can have a man's city for a few years
where they were absolutely incredible.
Or, you know, United when I played there on 99,
where we were relentless and ruthless and devastating.
And Arsenal have got a good mix of a bit of everything.
We've got different players who score goals.
They're hard to play against.
They keep clean sheets.
And I actually enjoy watching them play.
So I think the very efficient...
Do you enjoy those set pieces, though, Wayne?
Well, it's part of...
It was set pieces, part of football, so...
No, of course, of course.
No, but like all the pushing and jostling and stuff.
Yeah, but when David Beckman's with Whip and Free kicks in from 2025,
he had...
It's piece of genius.
But when Arsenal have done so, which they've clearly worked on,
and the old team's fan difficult to defend against,
why would you not use it?
Yeah, but a Royal Rumble in the 18-yard box.
If the officials are not going to do anything to stop that,
and I don't even think it is a Royal Rumble,
I think they put bodies in there.
And they're putting the ball to the back post most of the time,
and then getting them knocked down and scoring goals.
So, er, enough.
If you're not clever enough, or...
You haven't got the players you can deal with,
that why would Arsenal not continue to do that?
If you see a weakness...
I'm playing devil's advocate,
because if my team did it and we win,
I'd be like, whatever, we've got to result.
Before games, we used to look at two or three players maybe,
and say, this is how the opposition can hurt you.
So, if we stop this, we stop a big chance at them scoring,
or win the game against you.
So, surely, every team is looking to,
right, this is what Arsenal do.
But from Arsenal's been through,
teams have found it difficult to stop it.
And Chelsea, I think, is a Chelsea only scored one or two goals,
less than two pieces than Arsenal?
No one's talking about them all day.
It's part of the game, I love it.
I think they've been great,
and they shouldn't think, I'm sure,
that's a turtle doesn't think this,
but they have to change anything,
because people are mourning and complaining about it.
Would you be happy playing the position
that you used to play well in,
playing in that Arsenal team at the moment,
or would it frustrate you?
Or would you just be happy because you win him?
Well, I think Arsenal will take the ball,
and they take the ball off the opposition.
They play the A-Play's in good positions,
and maybe haven't scored as many goals from open players as they'd,
like both they've made off in different ways,
and the last lead title will be won,
we weren't great as a team.
We wouldn't lead title, but no one is going back to that,
and I'll say no, but that man United team
won that last title, we're in great.
I think for Arsenal,
they had the years where they played
incredible football, one touch passing,
and all that.
Yeah, and won nothing.
Yeah, and they didn't win anything, exactly.
And I think for them,
it's just important to get over the land this season.
I don't think they've been as bad as well for people to say it,
and really don't think they've been good.
How can they clearly haven't been bad?
No, they haven't been as bad,
but yeah, no, I feel,
but I'm saying like I feel like
this year is a sort of like win by any means necessary.
You look at Greece when Greece won your year 2004,
no one cares how they won trophies,
Chelsea, London, Merino,
very defensive and played on the counter-tug,
won titles.
No one says anything about that,
so I think,
I'm not saying this because I like Arsenal,
I'm saying this because I think it's very unfair,
which the criticism,
which they are receiving,
for being what was the seven-quince top of the,
at the minute,
seven-quince top of the league,
and if teams can't deal, they'll do it more,
but that's what I'll be doing,
if I was out there.
It kind of does feel like at the moment
that he's using that as a bit of
kind of fuel to keep his team going,
some of his comments post-match against Mansfields.
I just get the feeling maybe they're kind of enjoying
whines in people up,
I don't know, they're probably just enjoying being seven points clear,
aren't they, really?
Yeah, I think, well, their focus is just
to win games in any way possible,
and when you're going for the title,
I don't think the last 10 games,
I don't think you have to worry about what anyone thinks
about how you play as long as you win.
Yeah, no, and like you said,
no one's going to be talking about it
if they do lift that Premier League title in May.
Back to that Newcastle man city game,
I just also was in traders to what you thought about Newcastle.
Yeah, for Newcastle, it's very difficult,
now in there, to use the funds and spend the money,
which I think we all probably know the can do.
It's difficult for them to do that,
where city Chelsea and United, obviously,
over years have been able to do that.
Newcastle, I'm not able to do that in the tariff
and different ways, and so for them to bridge that gap
is going to be difficult over the next few years
game, but I think they just have to be patient with them.
They've got a great fan base.
They're not going to get instant success,
but I think they're on the right path.
I think last summer's transfer window
was an opportunity missed there,
and I think the fact that they didn't have
a proper sports director in place at the time
has really affected their season right now.
Yeah, the ESAC one was difficult for Newcastle,
because obviously they had to know what money was coming in
and to what they can spend, basically,
and that's dragging on,
and then I think they would infecise going
and then boom always well,
and I think they'd get them to, and it feels like they were forced,
really, into some signings,
and maybe not the number one targets.
But yeah, listen, I think Newcastle
got a great manager in a day out.
I think he's really impressed with whatever he does.
How much do you think, I know the ESAC
thing dragged on last summer,
and obviously they've lost a great amount of goals from that team,
but how do you think that has affected them,
like even now, because they haven't,
Voldemort has scored in fits and spurts, hasn't he?
But they haven't got that out and out of goal scourge.
You think that kind of puts pressure
throughout the rest of the team?
Yeah, but he haven't, Voldemort,
it looks like he's happy to play deeper
in more of a midfield role on number 10,
and wish it hasn't really got going at all.
For Newcastle, I think they've been missing
an out and out number nine, if I'm honest.
Anthony Gordon has done well when he's gone in there,
especially in the Champions League,
but yeah, I think for Newcastle,
the priority this year is obviously the Champions League now,
so I had to go through in there and qualify again
for the Champions League next season.
I think that's got to be a priority for them,
because if you miss out on a Champions League for next season,
then I think that's another step back and put their plans back
in another year.
It feels like Tuesday is just huge.
I mean, I don't know if they can win the Champions League,
but they look like they're in a slightly tough position
in the league given the teams around them, too.
Yeah, I think it will be tough,
and I think anyone who's left in the Champions League can win it.
They're all good teams,
but it's going to be very difficult for them
to win the Champions League.
So yeah, I think for Newcastle now,
they have to just again, what I was saying before,
when everyone's fit, who's time to play the strongest team in every game,
and pick up as many points as they can
and hope the other team's struck points to try and get back in that Champions League.
I'll tell you what, I've been to St James's a few times,
that atmosphere is going to be good on Tuesday.
Yeah, I'm very glad to forward to it,
but I was being speaking to Alan Shira about this,
and we've been desperately to Newcastle for the Champions League game,
but one of me and really with this one
is going to be some atmosphere and some games, so I'm looking forward to it.
He must be nervous, must be out at this point.
He's a proper, isn't he?
I think a lot of people think sometimes when there's like club legends,
but I've watched Newcastle go in before he gets proper into it,
doesn't he? But he's a proper Newcastle fan.
Yeah, he is, and it's funny sometimes,
watching him looks after the quieter times as well,
because he's really intense watching,
and he wants Newcastle to win.
That's the main thing for him, and so yeah,
I'm sure he'll be nervous.
It's the first leg, so he can still be in the tie.
It's still in the tie going into the second leg, then you do well.
You mentioned the Champions League a few times,
and the fact it's a big week for Newcastle.
It's potentially, I don't know, is it even bigger for Spurs?
Everything feels big at the moment for Spurs.
Since we last spoke wine, things haven't really got any better, have they?
No, and obviously the man just came in,
and since it was a three game, three defeats,
both for me, I looked at players,
I just think the players, I spoke about it a couple of weeks ago,
said the probably I would deserve to be,
in terms of the players, the difficult fit in available,
and I've had most of the season.
But the lack of spirit, and fighting,
and heart, and belief in that team is incredible.
You know, we've had the Tottenham fans the last few years,
and I was hammering Daniel Levy,
that I don't personally know him, so it's not for me,
but I think sometimes, be careful what you wish for,
because I think he did hold that club together,
and we're seeing all the cracks in that football,
now since he's left.
But do you know what, I think what you said there about the belief is so right,
I think what you need in a relegation fight is players going right,
let's roll up our sleeves, or like, come on guys, let's get out of this mess,
but it just feels like all the players there are sort of
resigned to the fact that they're going down.
And some of them are probably on the phone today, agents going,
what clauses do I have in my contract?
Am I going to be able to leave?
Probably trying to, like, look at other clubs that they could go to,
because none of them, when you watch a Tottenham game right now,
look like they're up for the fight.
I'm watching the Palace game today,
it was, I like Tottenham, the Tottenham's the team,
I always like going up as well,
and if I was the Tottenham manager now,
or even, you'll want to leave the players as one of the leaders,
I think I'd probably come out and just say, listen,
we know we have been going on for, please get behind us and stick with us,
and we need you, more than ever, we need you.
It must be so hard for those fans at the moment.
We need you to get behind us, the booing and getting on the players' backs isn't helping.
Just get behind us, let's say and get through the season,
and then we can...
Why, and I think the leaders in that dressing room are the ones going,
I'm out of here.
If you think that gives opportunity for someone else to go and do that,
whether that's a conicalager who's only just gone in there,
or whoever that may be,
that's an opportunity for someone to stand up and step up,
because what's happening at that club is,
it's not nice to say, I'd like Tottenham, respect Tottenham,
and I hope they don't go down,
but at a minute it's slowly, slowly looking more likely they might do.
Do you think they should stick with,
to how long should they give him?
I know that sounds wild.
You can't change it now.
You can't change the manager now.
I'll have to bring them in.
That just causes more confusion,
more, you know,
trust as players, you need to trust the people above you as well.
I think that's important,
and if they change the manager now,
I think that it's given the players another excuse
to not blame themselves and blame someone else,
and put that pressure on someone else to come in,
and new ideas again, maybe.
I just think there has to be some
which that manager or them players,
or the board there can do to get more,
because I think the fans at Tottenham,
at the minute, I feel so sorry for them.
Do you think they're staying up?
Last week I did, this week I'm not too sure.
Just a word on the FA Cup in general.
Kay, do you like it?
Is this weekend reinforced that the magic is still there?
I love the FA Cup.
I love the FA Cup.
I think what we've seen,
and I've seen, personally, this year,
again, is what's happened at Maxfield,
obviously, beating Palace,
Rixum and Paul Vale,
obviously, beating Sonland,
and the underdogs going into games,
and the day out I give the fans,
the revenue which some of these games
can give club smaller clubs as well,
is great, and from the flip side,
if you wanted top teams,
and you did this competition, you go deep,
and you've got up to the winner.
It's such a great, I've only won it once,
but it's such a great trophy to win,
and growing up watching the Cup as a fan,
knowing that that was probably our only hope,
as an evident fan of winning out,
and it's so much as always stuck with me,
and it's a competition which I love playing,
love watching, and just to wish the people respect it a bit more.
One of my best days as a football fan,
probably one of the best days of my life,
so I was watching what gets to an FA Cup final,
because we're one of those teams,
that I'm never going to win anything.
I thought you was going to say the semi-final,
a little bit of power when I scored two.
Not that one, not that one.
I was there, Wayne, I was there watching it.
The semi-final in the year we got to the final was good,
because we were two-knows down against Wolves
and came back to win three-two,
but even getting final, we lost six-nil,
but I don't care, it's still like just the fact
that you've seen your team in an FA Cup final when you're a team,
you guys can't relate to it,
because KU are a man in the night fan,
Wayne, you played for the biggest club in the world,
but yeah, I get frustrated for the fans of smaller clubs.
I went to the final, the evident Chelsea.
I was at that final as an evident fan in Louis High School,
after a minute or something,
so I know what it's like to go to Wembley as a player and a fan and lose.
Hopefully everyone else has enjoyed FA Cup Weekend as much as we have.
Thanks for watching and listening,
so I'm Runeesh, I will be back on Friday,
and as always, you can watch the Wayne Runeesh on the BBC Sport YouTube,
and I play or listen on BBC Sounds.
A new era of Formula One is about to dawn.
I think the biggest step the sport has ever seen.
There are new rules, new cars, and a brand new team.
In Formula One, it's your absolute brutal pure competition.
And the next generation of star drivers are taking us along for the ride too.
I'm going to go like a madman.
If you want to make it, first of all, you have to believe that you have what it takes.
The biggest shake-up of F1's rulebook has been years in the making.
Somebody's going to get it right and somebody's going to get it wrong.
I'm Rosemann Pike, and this is F1 Back at Base, a new era.
Listen on BBC Sounds.

He whispers to himself.
It's time to put my balls on the dashboard.
As he starts the engine.
In 15 minutes, he's in an ambulance, unconscious.
In 15 years, he's a billionaire.
This is Total Wolf, Formula One's most powerful team boss,
and the breakout star of Drive to Survive.
This week on Good Bad Billionaire,
how Total Wolf made his billions.
