Radio City/City Talk: Chris Mallaband & John Wark

Chris Mallaband seems to be popping up everywhere these days. BBC Local Radio North-West, Talk Sport and Radio City.

Just back from Egypt so will be back in harness on Saturday. Anybody got the reporters/commentators for last Saturday?

So unusual to have DB doing 'oam'.

Perhaps just having a well-deserved rest.

Or, it could be a sign he's intending to hang up his mic at the end of the season (it was supposed to be the end of last, but he was persuaded to keep going).

John Barnes is undoubtedly being lined up as his replacement: the Celtic game at the weekend, Rangers last night and he no longer has TV commitments, with Liam McLeod having stepped into the "number 2" role there.

Barnes also did the UEFA Cup Final last season.

Friday 14th November

First ODI: India v England - Jack Bannister
Rugby Union: Wales v Canada - Hamish Stuart

Not the greatest performance, and the next time I make a rash decision to go to a rugby game, I'm going to make sure I'm nowhere near any children with those damn horns!

Bristol Rovers V Scunthorpe United:- John Bennett and Keith Brookman. Information courtesy of 'Germany Bound'.
