I had an idea he would go back to them once his contract was up on century radio. He's also the everton fans liason officer. I presume thats why he had a radio talk show- so he could discuss callers needs on air

Hugh Ferris and Mickey Thomas for Magic 1152 in Manchester but not Key 103. Must be the first time for donkeys years that a Man Utd match (Certaintly an away match) hasn't be aired locally on FM. Seems daft to me as Key 103 is airing a networked programme.

Any ideas what's happening with Stan Collymore? He no-showed yesterday's 7pm slot, despite (or perhaps because of) appearing on Setanta's Football Matters show which aired the same day. Did he get stuck in the car park?
