Our guest this week is man who has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award a record breaking five times - star of Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie to You and, more importantly, a former Manchester United fan, James Acaster. The subject of discussion for this episode is the documentary which made infamous its protagonist; angry Orient manager John Sitton. 22 years after Channel 4’s ’Club for a fiver’ was first aired, this week we give it a rewatch and try to figure out exactly what prompted John Sitton to utter the immortal words: “‘So you, you little c*** when I tell you to do something and you, you f****** big c*** - when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you f****** come back at me, we’ll have a f****** right sort out in here.”

Meanwhile, there’s an update on Vegard Heggem’s salmon lodge and an interesting report from the 90s Aston Villa version of Stella Street.
