The Sports Fact

The bedrock of any self-respecting fan, the trump card of the pub conversation. We can't 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 her first son Brooklyn, or whether a World Cup victory has 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 get shot, or that it's really true women really can't throw.
