Great footy banter, Nick and Chris nattering to quality guests - what's not to like.
Description
Nick Hancock and Chris England are old friends who have both been struck by the same soul-shattering thought: "how is it that everything that has changed about football since I started watching it has made it a little bit more s**t?".
