Informed and Fun!

Best football podcast out there. The trio of Lineker, Shearer and Richards work so well off each other; all of them know what they are talking about, are legends in their own right, and they deliver it all with a great sense of humour. If you want the latest news and debate about football this is the place to start and I am sure it will become a favourite before too long.
