Martin leads the conversation but beyond that the panel don't get told what to think or say, it's just their opinion, whilst Alfie has to be diplomatic he's certainly not a mouth piece for the club or RM and we feel openly talks his mind on almost every issue. As @CB Fry says, we aim to be a primary source, not a secondary one. Not saying we get that right every week, but that's our aim. If there's ever a talking point you feel we're missing or would like a little more on, there's a live comment section on Facebook, YouTube and Twitch every Sunday at 7pm alongside the episode, we're always happy to hear from anyone there.
