You don't have to.

It's fucking boring.

Sorry it's dull as anything and not helped by Hollands droning voice. Another ex pro who gets a gig despite having zero personality. Much prefer the old Keys and Gray which whilst not perfect was at least interesting.

Can't agree Holland may not be the life and soul of the party but he and his guest are discussing football sensibly and with a fair degree of knowledge and I would rather listen to that any time rather than Boozy Brazil Biased Quinn or Shockjock Durham

Matt Holland may be the new Treacherous Townsend but he does well on this show although at some points he does sound like the Harry Enfield character......."Is that what you want on talkSPORT?......Cos that's what's gonna happen"??!!

Holland is now a gobby menace and an aggressive babbler, have people really not noticed The Change? Larry Grayson trying to be James Whale. Absolute agony. He should at least have the integrity to stick to his naaature of being a wispy irrelevance.
