Summary

Presenter David Alorka, broadcaster Dougie Anderson, football reporter Bianca Westwood and comedian Bob Mills join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment. Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction. In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds. There can only be one winner! Get the podcast from BBC Sounds

0:47.3	over many, many years.
0:49.3	As in, I will not be accepting any blame.
0:52.8	I'm also not planning to bring the changes,
0:55.1	partly because I like the show, partly due to laziness.
0:57.6	However, I am going to make one change just for this week.
1:00.6	We're going to start Fighting Talk by paying tribute to this man.
1:04.3	Next out onto Stadium Court is the former world number one
