Imagine all the football news, and then 5Live decide to bump Fighting Talk for F1 qualifying…. When they could have parachuted Natalie Pike in at the last minute to attempt to defend the Man City shit show?

The best manager never to win the Premier League? That's a tough one, but I think I'm going to go with 'Pep Guardiola'

World Rugby would help any nation which wants to switch a Six Nations match to the United States as it continues its drive to spread the game stateside.

It would be quite good to get an explanation why gangs of black shirted men blocking major infrastructure routes aren’t being treated as roughly as the Just Stop Oil protestors?

I see that Farage’s defence has gone from ‘nothing dodgy happened at the table’ to ‘I was too busy guzzling oysters to listen to the dodgy things that were being discussed at the table’…

It’s actually quite funny, Reform trying to claim it’s just Jukes and Orr, nothing to do with Nigel, when he’s front and centre in the incriminating video, guzzling oysters.

The larger small human just gave us a long talk about how he’s planned a space mission to Uranus. It went on for about 20 minutes and I ALMOST made it to the end without laughing.
