They look ahead to the FA Cup 3rd round, which is always one of the most special weekends in the footballing calendar, and this year Joe and Crouchy were the men pulling the balls out of the hat. The headline tie is Tottenham vs Aston Villa and Ashley thinks it could be a good chance for Spurs to prioritise the FA Cup and build on last season's Europa League triumph. There's a potentially tricky tie for Arsenal away at Crouchy's old club Portsmouth, and the three of them reminisce about stepping out of the old Fratton Park tunnel and seeing legendary players like Ronaldinho and Paolo Maldini do the same for AC Milan in 2008. We revisit some classic FA Cup moments from Crouchy, Joe and Ashley's storied careers, starting with one of the most famous finals of all time in 2006 when Peter was on the winning side as Liverpool beat West Ham on penalties after Steven Gerrard twice hauled them back into the game. Crouchy holds this display up as the perfect example of why he rates Gerrard as the best player he ever played with, despite lining up alongside the likes of David Beckham, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart during his career. The lads have some fun as Joe and Crouchy delve into their autobiographies and get Ashley to guess who the out of context quotes belong to - cue stories of Inbetweeners-like mishaps, boring their parents with endless keepie-uppies and when champagne celebrations go wrong. Could It Be Magic? is brought to you by Carling, the official beer of the Emirates FA Cup and Adobe Women’s FA Cup. 18+ - please drink responsibly.
