If you might enjoy the footballistical comedy stylings of Top Flight Time Machine and World Cup Time Machine

you might be interested to know that Sam and myself have just launched a new podcast called Newsthing

which is pretty much like what we do on these

podcasts but all about the news you can access it by going to a cast.com

slash news thing and it should be also available on iTunes and all the other podcast providing systems

and you can also find us on Twitter at Newsthing. Give it a try. We're sure you'll love it. Oh, uh, no, no, no, no, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, That was the sound of ITV's World Cup 2018 theme. It was a bit Russianyy I don't know what it was it's familiar I

think he used to be on an electricity advert a few years ago it sounded familiar

you know what they should have chosen?

Go on finish what you say. I was going to say it's possibly the Nutcracker Suite because

there was a ballet dancer in it. I'm going to just display me complete ignorance there

and say that was the Nutcracker Sweet. I don't think it was but I'm not sure.

The Twitter masses will tell us that's what they're therefore. They should have made it, the

Gazprom music, because what do you think of when you think of Russia you think of you think of

you think of Gazprom?

Delicious forming paint of Gazprom.

Yeah and then there's Gazprom music that they use in the

Champions League and I think there's nothing more Russian now than Gazprom music they should have used that

absolutely well they could have got it for free isn't it because it would have been a promotional

opportunity for Gazprom there we got this is one of the reasons why we should be in charge of the

World Cups, in future and not FIFA. Russia 2000 and 18 is just finished so it's all fresh in our

memories isn't it? It's fresh in our memories, isn't it? Not mine I've forgotten all of it already.
