Consistently the best weekly sport show on British Radio. (Sony Radio Awards )
Product Description
The Sports Fact: the bedrock of any self-respecting fan, the trump card of the pub conversation. We cant quote Shakespeare or remember our loved ones birthdays - superfluous! - but we can list, in alphabetical order, the last three strikers for our teams to have a 20-goal season, together with the names of their wives, children, aunts, favourite TV shows, golf handicap... glory!
And so it is that Fighting Talk, the Saturday morning bastion of world-class punditry, introduces five years of accrued knowledge, one liners, quips, and anecdote all gleaned from, or in the style of, the hugely popular show. Discover Sports Facts as pithy as what kind of chocolate bar Victoria Beckham was munching on as she gave birth to first son Brooklyn, or whether a World Cup victory have any effect on the victorious nations GDP, or even
Also, be challenged by the divisive Defend the Indefensibles in which our crack team of writers support motions as scurrilous as the best thing about the Grand National is seeing a horse gets shot, or that its really true women really cant throw.

Format:Hardcover
I'm a big fan of the show, and was hoping that this could be a way to relive all my favourite moments. I think the book starts off well but tails off somewhere during the second half. A little bit like Will Buckley's form when he's on the show so I can't say that I was particularly surprised. I also thought some of the Q&As were lacking, some filled two pages, the other two paragraphs! Nevertheless I think it's a good gift for fans of the show but I was left wanting more.
Format:Hardcover
This book was not what I thought it was going to be, not a great read!
Format:Hardcover
if you like saturday mornings on 5 live, you'll like this book.
"fighting talk" is such a funny, entertaining (and informative!) programme
and the book is a follow up, full of facts and anecdotes from both presenters.
it's not a book for a start to finish read, it's a "dip in and out" one. i'm sure
colin murray (current presenter and co-author) would appreciate my place of
rest for the book at the moment... my bathroom! perfect to read, funny facts and
figures while you have time on your hands!!
summing up.... if you like sport, sporting info./stories/facts for that pub quiz,
you'll love it. well written and put together.Fighting Talk: Flimsy Facts, Sweeping Statements and Inspired Sporting Hunches

Have to admit I'd never heard of this radio show before I stumbled across this book, but I was intrigued by a quick glance through it.

Disappointing
Bought this for my boyfriend, but he hated it, too much hot air like the author himself.
