Mark, Dan, Chris and Tom discuss Argyle's victory over Norwich City and eighth league win of the season, being a second successive game of improved output that just about keeps the Greens in the fight to stay in the Championship. The panel discuss what positives they've taken from the win and whether it'll be enough to avoid a drop back to League One, and whether there are signs of what Muslic-ball might look like going forward, in either division.Attention then turns to the midweek game away to Swansea City, and what the permutations are for our relegation rivals and how that can improve the Pilgrims' survival prospects.

It's well and truly the "business end of the season" and the clichés are out in force. The race between Wrexham and Wycombe for second place and automatic promotion remains too tight to call as both sides drop points against relegation-threatened opposition. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson felt crucial decisions went against them against Cambridge, while Sam still can't believe none of Wycombe's 33 shots found the net against Shrewsbury. Shooting practice this week?It's situation critical at Cardiff after the Bluebirds drop more points from a winning position by drawing with Sheffield Wednesday at home. For the first time this season, Iwan questions if they have enough to avoid relegation to League One.And with Wales women back in Nations League action, Carl again somehow manages to centre the discussion around food.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Héctor Kriok, Rafa Pastrana y Borja García para analizar toda la acción del fin de semana de FA Cup y variada actualidad en el fútbol inglés...Comenzando por la remontada con la que el Manchester City logró prevalecer en Bournemouth y avanzar a las semifinales de la FA Cup por séptima vez en la era Guardiola como él mismo nos quiso recordar; al igual que el Nottingham Forest nos recordó a sus rondas anteriores de la FA Cup, en las que ganó en penaltis como también logró ganar en Brighton; en Preston ganó el Aston Villa de Unai Emery tras un doblete de un Marcus Rashford que por fin se reencontró con su capacidad goleadora; mientras que el Crystal Palace se volvió a encontrar con la victoria en su visita al Fulham para eliminar al equipo de Marco Silva y avanzar a la cita en Wembley; en la Women's Super League, el Chelsea parece camino del título pese al intento de remontada del Arsenal; en Championship, el Leeds ha perdido el liderato y el Burnley sigue sin encajar goles; en League One, el Reading quizás acabe expulsado del fútbol profesional y el club desaparecido; en el resto del mundo, Victor Wanyama debutó con su nuevo equipo, Harry Kane sigue marcándole goles a todos los equipos que se encuentra y mucho más.Apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/alineacionindebidaAdemás...

Whether you're an elite athlete, coach, or weekend warrior, this conversation will transform how you think about mental preparation and performance. Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion that challenges everything you thought you knew about sports psychology and mental performance. Sam's refreshing perspective might just be the game-changer you've been looking for.
