BBC Radio 5 Live - Fighting Talk, Matt Smith, Gail Emms, Jim White, Elis James

Matt Smith, Gail Emms, Elis James and Jim White join Colin Murray.

Colin Murray acts as judge and jury as Matt Smith, Gail Emms, Jim White and Elis James fight for punditry points whilst discussing the sporting stories of the week.

QPR striker Matt Smith, former GB badminton player and Olympic silver-medallist Gail Emms, the Telegraph's Jim White and comedian Elis James join Colin Murray for more sporting punditry. 

Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for drivel and answers lacking in conviction.

In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds.
