Pubcast #91: Lend us a Tenor?

With the close season starting to wear a bit thin, and just Olympic Football, pre-season friendlies and transfer rumours to keep us going, the Pubcast team were understandably distracted this week – not least by Dan’s striking likeness to a certain deceased Italian opera star! Nevertheless, the boys still managed to find plenty of talking points, including a dubiously named new rising star section (more of which in coming weeks), and Dan’s very own “aria” of expertise – dodgy beards! Also in this week’s show:

• The various incarnations of the “new Maradona”
• Mexican wrestling
• Olympic reaction
• Usain Bolt’s Theatre of Dreams
• Good news from Stiliyan Petrov
• England’s highest ever ranking
• Kendall Town’s new sponsor
• Danny Wellbeck’s heroic father
• Yeovil Town & Playford FC’s naked ambition
• Violent family days
• Foul Hajduk Split fan comes clean
• Senegalese Olympic footballer goes AWOL
• Dukes of Hazard
• Ashley Cole winds up Arsenal fans on Twitter
• Sami Khedira faces the goal
• AFC back to Wimbledon?
• Plus plenty more from the boys in the Wharf
