    02/07/25: WGFOP Weekend Preview, presented by PrizePicks

    IT’S ROG… and it’s the WGFOP Weekend Preview, presented by our good friends at PrizePicks. 

    This week, we’re up for the cups. It’s “congratulations” to Newcastle and Liverpool for making it to the Carabao Cup final, and big commiserations, especially to Spurs, whose trophy-less run continues… And then we turn our attention to the FA Cup fourth round this weekend, and Rog reminisces on some of his favorite giant-killing moments. There’s always time to talk about Everton, who face old tormentors Bournemouth this weekend, before the Merseyside derby at Goodison next week. Finally, we ask, is Manchester United v Leicester the biggest sad-off football has ever seen?
