FIRST half here and there has been a ton of excitement. Being excited because the change of manager should make The Reds immune to taking setbacks such as late injuries to Sturridge too much to heart. The Reds on the pitch broadly have been up to the break. The Reds...
VERY much a three part show this week. With Neil Atkinson with Rob Gutmann and John Gibbons throughout. In part 1 the lads are joined by Paul Duhaney from Africa Oye to talk about his beloved Tottenham Hotspur. In part 2 they are joined by Terri Hooley, subject of...
