It is cup final season and we are well into the thick of it so what we need to do is celebrate the work of the volunteers!

We also look at the referee preparation for cup finals as well as discussing how Middlesbrough have reacted to 'Spygate!'

We get deep into referee psyche. Have you ever had anxiety before a game that was so bad, you couldn't actually sleep? How do you prepare for a game in these circumstances?

This and so much more on this week's podcast!
