It's FA Cup weekend, ladies and gents. Unfortunately though, if non-league Tamworth get a draw against Spurs, they won't be getting a replay at Tottenham. Obviously that's a crying shame, but what should the teams at the top of English football do to compensate those at the bottom?Marcus, Luke, and Andy also ask whether José Mourinho would make a good firefighter manager and respond to your suggestions about the gadgets Richard Keys could hand over to Andy Gray, the new James Bond.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Can anything compete with the Carabao? We just had our first-ever referee announcement in English football and Pete Donaldson is absolutely loving it. However, he is of course quick to offer some constructive criticism to the referee on his mic technique.Elsewhere, Pete and Andy are optimistic about West Ham’s future now that Graham Potter is in the hot seat.
