I found both Bobby and Ash very funny and enjoyed their contributions, but Goldstein and Cundy hold much less appeal for me. As you say, when they aren't tackling serious sports news and are just mucking about they can be funny and a relaxing listen, and some of their long form interviews with people from the world of sport (not just football and particularly retired sportsmen and people from boxing and snooker) on quiet sports news nights have been very listenable when I have caught them. But the confected arguments between Andy and Jason and the domination of "top six" Premier League chat in general just really doesn't hold any interest for me, and so with the funny bits with Bobby on Fridays and with Ash having been taken away, I've duly lost interest in the programme and won't tune in unless it's to catch updates on the end of matches that have headed into extra time post 10pm or if they have a particularly interesting guest on in the studio.”

I do agree about the Sports Bra, the fake arguments or Cundy winding up callers on purpose are so cringeworthy. On the other hand the interviews are usually spot on

I just heard a trailer for Goldstein and Cundy's show where they're mocking Scotland. Okay, it's a joke. And I expect England to beat Scotland. But considering that England are, you know...completely crap...isn't this tempting fate?

Cundy got his fingers burnt in the summer calling Wales a "pub team" just because we managed to scrape a last minute winner against them.

I think I read somewhere just recently you can get 5/1 on Scotland beating England, now I'm not a betting man but I have seen England play in important games over more years than I care to mention and 5/1 on Scotland is a damn good bet of anyone's money. We're pants in important big games so I predict Scotland to win the game no problem.

Just checked oddschecker for the best price and William Hill are offering 10/1 on a Scotland win!
Generous odds in a 3 horse race

I don't go into betting shops these days but if my son-in-law is planning a bet on the game himself [I don't know if he is but he sometimes does on football games] I will definitely have a tenner on Scotland that's how confident I am on them winning.

[And don't forget Bang' I predicted correctly the Scottish and EU referendums and Trump winning] GET YER MONEY ON EM JOCK.

There is a stat going round that if you bet one quid on Leicester Brexit and Trump at their starting prices in a treble you would be £2milion richer today!

Morning....

I've just listened to the H and J podcast.....excellent as ever.

They had a guest on who had made a film about darts......something I quite like and has changed in most tournaments into a much bigger specticle........however.......what a brown nose about Barry Hearn.

Now I've had dealings with Barry in a past life and yes it It was all very positive. You can see instantly why he has been successful when you meet him and something he comes over as is someone who doesn't need his Arse licked.

And .BH is exec producer on the film so Poss he had more dealings in the first instance re this production as I am quite sure there was half an eye on an advert for the game as well as aiming to be an entertaining film.

But for me the guy was over the top in the self promotion and adoration of BH and it came over IMO as very poor.

His slagging of the BDO champs as well was not needed. Yes that comp has been over taken and there are many reasons for that, but even the older dart players would say that the BDO in the start was important. Personalities were involved and positions taken that led to the split that created a horrid time.

Concentrate on your own thing and don't slag off the competition.....its lazy to do that.

Blimey.....I must get out more getting fired up over this when other events are going on but I just hate to hear what I perceive to be pathetic comment.

On another point.....IMO in general the H and J show still seems to be one of the best on TS...now I must rub that brown nose of mine

Have a good day

For the last two weeks Brazil has been ramming it down our throats that he is being wined & dined at Club Wembley tonight.
He comes in this morning "I just can't make it tonight, my knees blown up & it's too far to walk".
He's also got a big lunch on this afternoon, I bet he makes that.

I should imagine he would be driven to the doors of Club Wembley and once you get in, access to the levels is by escalator!

His main 'sports' are boozing, gambling and being wined and dined in posh establishments up and down the land via freebies football comes well down his list of top priorities this has been proven over a 17 year period we all know that.
I've tipped Scotland to win Ram, I know by doing that it will have gnawed at you a bit but I've only done it because it's what I think will happen I hope I am wrong and we stuff the Jocks sending them packing back up north again feeling really sore.

I saw a bit of Brazil beating Argentina 3-0 last night, and so I have compiled these two teams.

Brazil: Diego Alves (Valencia), David Luiz (Chelsea), Filipe Luis (Atletico Madrid), Luis Gustavo (Wolfsburg), Casemiro (Real Madrid), Rafinha (Barcelona), Lucas Moura (PSG), Douglas Costa (Bayern Munich), Willian (Chelsea), Oscar (Chelsea), Firmino (Liverpool)

Argentina: Rulli (Real Sociedad), Rojo (Manchester United), Garay (Valencia), Gaitan (Atletico Madrid), Pastore (PSG), Lamela (Tottenham Hotspur), Banega (Inter Milan), Correa (Atletico Madrid), Dybala (Juventus), Tevez (Boca Juniors), Aguero (Manchester City)

What is notable about those teams is that none of those players was on the pitch at the start of the Brazil-Argentina game.

That is the gulf between England and the top nations. England are so desperate that they're once again recalling Rooney and restoring him to captain. Why don't they phone up Beckham and see if he'll come out of retirement?

TS can hype this all they want, but it's a nothing game between two nothing teams. However, I might break a personal rule and watch it; I don't usually bother with qualifiers.

I was in Club Wembley for the Charity Shield in August and the surviving 1966 winners who were present managed to make it to the stands.

You made it to the bookies Bill?
Did you ever watch Ripping Yarns years ago? The one about the northerner who was fanatical about his local team?
I think of that show every time I see names like the Cat & Cabbage

We have a Cat & Cabbage pub here Bangla it's one of the very few pubs I have never been in. The only way I'll get money on Scotland is if my son-in-law is having a bet on the game he's due here in a couple of hours to pick up one of his boys I'll check with him but I don't think he'll be bothering to be honest.

Have you got your little Subbuteo goalposts and football pitch [manufactured in England of course] ready for tonight for in front of the TV ready to smash, wreck and ruin in the traditional Scottish manner if you win.

England 1 Jockland 2

Don't tell anyone else Bill as my Scottish cred will fall through the floor but we are going to see the Motown musical tonight!

Have seen it recently and even though I am not a Motown fan, it was entertaining. My wife who is a huge fan was boogieing around from the beginning.

I much preferred Thriller, which even at my advanced age had me dancing in the aisles with my wife. If you have not seen it, I would recommend it if it is your type of music. There are several people who play Michael during the set and the irony was that the best singer was a white lad!

Same here.
My wife has been on about going to see it since 8t first came out and bought the tickets without checking with me. You get the drift how things work in our house aye?
Thriller one I didn't know about but sounds good.

Anyone fancy a pre-Christmas night out with Alan, Ray Wilkins and Razor Ruddock it's being held at the Plaisterers Hall in London on the 23rd November and tickets are still advertised as being available in the link at the bottom?.

Have to say it seems a great idea to invite Butch along during his alcohol recuperation period he'll not go too far wrong with massive boozers Brazil and Ruddock and the all-night FREE bar.
