It's the Planet FPL derby this week and James is joined West Ham fan Chris Stone and Tottenham fan Ricky Saunders to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of Saturday's meeting. And it's been a busy couple of weeks for both clubs off the pitch with the West Ham United Supporters Trust issuing a vote of no confidence in the board whilst after 24 years Daniel Levy is no longer Tottenham chairman. There's the fan view on both. And there's views on the pitch too, will West Ham stick with the back four that was successful at Nottingham Forest? And will Tottenham be better off without the ball as seen in games against PSG and Manchester City? But Xavi Simons may alter Tottenham's attacking quality, could he and fellow new man Randal Kolo Muani be options for Fantasy managers, or might there be better cheaper alternatives at West Ham in the midfield zone. Plus, Jarrod Bowen's form, if Aaron Wan-Bissaka will get his place back, best Tottenham defensive asset, thoughts on Ange Postecohlu taking over at Forest and we have a feeling that Mohammed Kudus 'might' get booed on Saturday.

Martin Porter & David Goggin in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Buzz-Me-Inside-Record-studios/dp/0500028699 Strap yourself in and take a helter-skelter ride through more than a decade's worth of high drama, hedonism, high tech and musical genius as told by the insiders at the heart of Record Plant studios, one of the most prolific recording factories of all time, founded in 1968 by charismatic audio engineer Gary Kellgren and ace businessman Chris Stone. In the 1970s, Record Plant was everywhere there was music. In 1976 alone, the studios produced three No. 1 albums: Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life, The Eagles' Hotel California and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Based on the memoirs and archives of Chris Stone, as well as interviews with over 100 studio employees, music producers and recording artists, Buzz Me In tells the incredible story of Record Plant's evolution and the making of more than a decade's worth of Gold and Platinum albums, tape by tape. Illustrated throughout with behind-the-scenes images, archive photos of artists recording and performing live and album cover art, this revelatory and extensively researched book explores and celebrates the way the studios were designed to cater to every rock'n'roller's fancy. From the living-room-style studio in New York, where Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland was recorded and where John Lennon later encamped, to the VIP clubhouse studio in Los Angeles where Stevie Wonder produced his classic hits, and the destination recording venue in Sausalito where Sly Stone, Bob Marley and Fleetwood Mac holed up, each studio location had its own inherent character – but all showcased the founders' proven formula of combining state-of-the-art audio, fantasy bedrooms and group Jacuzzis with sex, drugs and celebrity jams. Was Record Plant ‘the real Hotel California'?
