Anybody on here watch it?

Just watched last Sundays while f***ing about on here, very enjoyable show imo. The three writers whoever they maybe from week to week and Paul Allot all seem to know there stuff and speak well about the game

Never really take notice of names who appear so cant say who my favourite writers are

Quite often download the podcast and listen to it on my way into work. Very good, the football one's alright too.
 
Is Lawrence Booth still on?

Bit of a twot according to a friend of mine :)
 
I watch it every week. Good program. Can't bear to watch the footy one though. The journo''s on the footy one are right smug bastards

Exactly this.

The cricket writers generally know what they're talking about, most of the football journalists are pure shitehawks who know nowt outside the top 6.
 
Strikes me as being half an hour too long. Take Sunday for example, Allot tried to get a real discussion going towards the end comparing England now to 2005 but he struggled to get much out of the 3 journalists.

The journalists are usually very well informed though (although that bloke in the tee shirt last week, Andy Afford(?) wasn't particularly) but they seemed to be getting bored on Sunday.
 
You just get a better class of human being on the cricket version don't you? Sharp, intelligent people, who know their subject inside out; as opposed to the gobshites on the footy version.

Instead of talking about the obvious it would have been nice to have given the domestic T20 a bit more airtime mind. The QFs will make class watching, I thought they might have built them up a bit more.
 
The cricket writers can involved themselves in a conservation regarding all aspects of cricket at different levels whereas the football journos can only talk about the teams at the top - and West Ham of course.
