Join us as we take a meander through some of the news, articles, stories and social media posts that have piqued our interest or made our blood boil this week and we are excited to welcome back a previous guest, the football legend, Matt Le Tissier. Matt has made a new army of fans through his straight talking and common sense over the last few years so we look forward to hearing his thoughts on tonight's topics, including... - Not So Rare: Footballers dropping at an alarming rate. - Bernie Sanders: 'I am glad to be fully up to date with the vaccine' - Are you or those around you are getting ill? What you can do to prevent illness and stay healthy. - Christmas Massacre: Jihadi nightmare for Christians in Nigeria. - Rishi & Co Don't Care: Millions of hardworking taxpayers in this country were purposefully left to rot during the 'pandemic'. - 40 candidates and 25 elected officials from 17 states demand that the COVID shots must be pulled off the market. - Diversity is our Strength? Fears grow of sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia Muslim migrants on the floating immigrant hotel, Bibby Stockholm. Matt Le Tissier is a bona fide football legend, often described as one of the most naturally talented players of his time, the man that south coast residents call ‘Le God’ and one of the most famous soccer stars of the 1990's. Matt joined Southampton FC on the YTS scheme in 1985, signed professional forms with them the following year at 16 years of age and for the next 16 years he put loyalty above riches and remained at the club. A hero to his fans for his creativity, he was the first midfielder to score 100 goals in the Premier League and Matt's penalty taking abilities were renowned, converting 47 out of 48 from the spot. Then for 15 years he was on our TV screens every week on Sky Sports giving his commentary on the Premier League football matches. This all came to a screeching halt when he tweeted his thoughts on the Ukraine/Russia conflict, refused to wear a badge on-air of an organisation he had no interest in being associated with and also retweeting a post that questioned the government line on COVID. These actions were apparently outside the accepted new-speak and for these crimes he was sacked. Connect with 'Le God'...
