Synopsis
This time our panel comprises Liam Flint, co-founder of sports website Cross The Line and a Chelsea supporter and Andy Searles, an Ipswich Town fan living in Florida where he is chaplain to Major League Soccer side, Orlando City. The panel discusses three questions: What's gone wrong at Leicester City as last year's EPL Champions face a battle to avoid relegation; Will the FA Cup retain its integrity as top clubs often field second-string sides with their priorities for the season laying elsewhere; and in the shadow of multiple allegations of sexual abuse from football coaches we discuss what should be done to ensure a safe environment for young people looking to get into the game. Adrian Barnard is in the chair to keep order.
