Summary

Paul Hawksbee is alongside Charlie Baker for a packed podcast of sporting insight and signature nonsense.


The duo kicks things off with former Chelsea and England full-back Graeme Le Saux, who provides his expert take on the shocking news of Liam Rosenior’s departure from Hull City and what it means for the club.


Shifting gears from the pitch to the gridiron, talkSPORT’s own NFL authority Will Gavin joins the show to break down the fallout from the NFL Draft. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just trying to figure out what a "tight end" actually does, Will brings the essential updates from across the pond.


Finally, it wouldn't be a Thursday afternoon without some competitive spirit, as Andy Jacobs and Geoff Peters stop by for the legendary Birthday Spread.

This is Paul Hawksby and Charlie Baker and this is the 18 J Daily with some of the best of the afternoon show Graham Lassau talking to Graham's Graham's Graham so joined us he did he was great really interested on Chelsea so articulate Paul yeah really interesting it's the NFL draft tonight it's going to be on Talk Sport 2 on our USA YouTube channel and we went back to basics because we're fully aware that some people don't know anything about American sport. So Will Gavin took us back to the very nuts and bolts of what this is and why it's relevant and the story behind it. We also had H&B versus ChatGPT. Chat GPT has landed and been rolled.

0:40.5

We had a bit of a chat at the top, didn't we?

0:41.2

We just have a lovely time.

0:43.3

And we had a birthday spread.

0:44.5

So here it all is.

0:50.9

It was difficult last night.

0:53.1

I don't know if anybody else had this same situation.

1:44.1

But you thought like Burnley City was going to be an absolute dead rubber. They score after five minutes, you think it's only a matter of time. It's a three, four niller. And of course, all the time it doesn't happen. So I was watching the Bournemouth Leeds. But the longer it went on, I kept thinking, hang on, it's still 1-0. Still one of those where you kept kind of turning back. And every time I turned back City had just missed another chance. You'd miss a lot of chances last night. But it's kind of slightly done at the end because I turned over just in time for Longstaff's goal because it came after the final whistle at City more or less just just. I bet you were thrilled about Longstaff's goal. I was delighted. I was, to be honest, I think. They're out. Leeds are safe. So I just think they've been absolutely brilliant. You've got to off your cap to them. I was saying like 10 days ago, 13 days ago, it's out of us and Leeds now. Yeah.

1:44.3

And then they go and win it United. They build on everything they've done. And they've been brilliant. I mean, the space of 10 days, they've got up to 40 points. Look, they're not completely out of it, and they won't be complacent, and they've got the cup as a distraction. But still, what they've done is fantastic. What they've got... They never gave up last night and kept going.

2:03.3

And they'd've got... They never gave up last night and kept going. And they'd scored... Ocklefour nearly scored, I think, just before Longstaff got that one. So it was... They've been brilliant, you know. I was talking about Ali McCoyce the other day. And we were just talking about the Wolves game. And it is true. It's's an old cliche I'm sure a lot of Spurs fans have said it

2:19.1

But if you can't go to Wharves You've already gone down And look we saw last night with Bournemouth There is a bit of not Bournemouth Burnley There can be a sting in the tower Teams that are effectively down You're not playing with any pressure But if you don't go to wolves and win you don't deserve to stay up, do you really?

2:34.6

Not when you look around you and the other teams

2:37.2

have shown so much resilient. But if you don't go to wharves and win, you don't deserve to stay up. Do you really?

2:34.6

Not when you look around you and the other teams have shown so much resilience to stay up.

2:39.5

Then, you know, you don't deserve to.

2:42.3

I think what we see with leads especially and other teams that are struggling is spirit.

2:49.0

Team spirit is just so important, Paul. You can't put a figure on that? Can you look at Chelsea? There's no team spirit there. There's no leader, is there? There's no, there's no togetherness. With Spurs, I'd say the same thing. The thing that would keep them up as if they can galvanise and come together. It's looking better under this manager than it ever did previously, but it's whether, you know, they've effectively run out of time for all that. There was some interesting comments last night if I can find them. I think it was after the, I think it was after the game on Tuesday. I think he spoke to Andy, didn't you? Yeah, we did, yeah, yeah, yeah. He wasn't the happiest of men, was it? No, it was an interesting rant.

3:25.4

I think you'll be able to find it online.

3:26.7

It's on the podcast anyway, if he would go go find Andy's rant from yesterday. But there's just, you know, I do feel for him. Look, I was a big Liam fan because he played for talkie and his dad was our manager. Of course. I think I'm in many ways

3:39.2

I feel sympathy for him

3:41.1

I think he was promoted

3:43.3

too soon but what do you do you can't Of course. I think I'm a human. In many ways, I feel sympathy for him.
