This week we receive an injury update as one of the Oak's key players Tommy has injured himself at work. Like Beckham's metatarsal in 2002, will he able to get fit in time for the big clash with the Nags Head? Bob has some old school ideas to get him fit, whilst Paul suggests some more modern methods... In footballing news, the lads need your help with chants for the big game, chat about the introduction of VAR into the latter stages of the FA Cup and call out United legends Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Roy Keane. They also discuss the likelihood of an Oak relegation battle and having your tea with Harry Kane. Mo Salah, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi all feature in another packed edition; as the lads continue their mission to save our beautiful game... VAR. XG. Inverted wing backs. The game has well and truly gone. Via his very own podcast, Steve Bracknall, Sunday league assistant manager and viral sensation will bring it back.
