• "Let The Spinning Wheel Glide"...An Ode to Paulie Walnuts
    Jul 14 2022
    We're back by unpopular demand, catching up after over a year on the sidelines and paying tribute to one of Jersey's greatest illegal sportsbook chiefs, Paulie Walnuts. Our alternative Wimbledon review looks at whether Nick Kyrgios is a cult hero or gobshite. We discuss the Saudi backed LIV Tour's impact on future golf majors while throwing out some picks and analysis for The Open. Ahead of UFC London, we talk Paddy the Baddy's growing status and discuss his decision to take a packed lunch to Silverstone in a Sainsbury's bag. Keegans of the Week feature everyone from Ja Morant to the Russian gamblers who conned into betting on a fake Indian Cricket League by unemployed farmers.
