    FA Cup Finals 2025 Preview | Crystal Palace v Man City and Man Utd v Chelsea
    May 14 2025
    We're going to Wembley! Joe Cole and Ashley Cole take Could It Be Magic to the home of English football to discuss this season's Emirates Men's and Adobe Women's FA Cup Finals. Two-time winner Izzy Christiansen joins the lads, along with Eagles fan Dan Cook from HLTCO and Manchester City supporter and The Club presenter Buvey, to drill down into where the men's match will be won and lost: can City's defence handle Palace's front three or will there be a fairytale ending for Kevin de Bruyne? Izzy also breaks down the women's final between Manchester United and Chelsea, reveals the methods that make Sonia Bompastor so successful and sets out why United will feel they can retain the trophy. Plus Joe, Ashley and Izzy recall some of their favourite moments from their FA Cup Finals both on and off the pitch: which Chelsea boss showed off some spectacular dance moves and why do you have to be extra careful of the floors when you win at Wembley?

  • Emile Heskey: 5-1 in Munich, Michael Owen’s Final & FA Cup Semi-Finals

    Emile Heskey: 5-1 in Munich, Michael Owen’s Final & FA Cup Semi-Finals
    Apr 23 2025
    Premier League legend and former England striker Emile Heskey joins Joe and Ash in the studio to talk all things FA Cup, Liverpool, England — and more. He talks about Aston Villa’s FA Cup hopes, the impact of Unai Emery, and reflects on his own Cup memories — from Leicester’s late-90s success under Martin O’Neill to battles with some legendary centre backs, including Sol Campbell. Heskey, who broke through with hometown club Leicester before becoming a key part of Liverpool’s iconic 2001 treble-winning side, opens up about his move to Anfield, dealing with a record transfer fee, and forming a lethal partnership with Michael Owen — one that would also shine on the international stage. The trio also look back at one of England’s greatest nights: the 5-1 demolition of Germany in Munich. Emile shares how special that night was, how it changed his career, and Ashley explains why playing with Heskey made life easier.

    Shaun Wright-Phillips: Stopping Ronaldo, Mystic Mourinho and a brawl with Gattuso.
    Mar 26 2025
    Joe and Ash are back in the studio with a former teammate who lit up the Premier League with his explosive, direct style. Former Chelsea, Manchester City, and QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips joins the lads for the latest episode of Football’s Greatest: Could It Be Magic? Shaun reveals how Mourinho’s tactical genius played out in real time with his plan to stop Ronaldo in the 2007 FA Cup final, Shaun’s first-ever cup final appearance. He opens up about the early influences that shaped his unique playing style - the very style that caught José Mourinho’s eye and led to his move to Chelsea. He also reflects on his journey to becoming a pro, overcoming rejection, and what it was like growing up with Arsenal icon Ian Wright as a father. Meanwhile, Joe shares an unforgettable story about how Shaun’s arrival at Chelsea, adding even more competition in attack, led to a clash with AC Milan enforcer Gennaro Gattuso. Beyond Shaun’s career, the guys dive into this year’s FA Cup quarter-finals and discuss why the competition is wide open for teams looking to make history.
