  • Not what I want to hear after an England game at the World Cup.

    I used to love this podcast. I want to hear the final whistle and the John Murray, ABB, Paul Robinson, pundits, co-commentators on their after game reactions and post game interviews. Don’t want to hear two guys on the ultimate jolly on their day and their views. This is not what I listen to 5live for. BBC standards and quality literally on the floor. So bad I am listening to a TalkSport post game reaction. Sad.
