Russ the Cabbie is back with new signings GT (Grant) and Harry.
On the agenda this week: World Cup 2018 Memories, Spurs, Stag Dos in Barcelona and special messages to Bono of U2. Plus why is Wilfred Zaha a target, the money in non league, passionate pensioner managers and this weekend's Premier League Predictions. Even football dogs make an appearance and if Cardiff get a win this weekend, look out Chelsfield... or perhaps don't look out!

The heat is on for the boys of the Cabcast and Chads won’t run the air-con.
Not much footy for the lads to chew over either but they’re ready to give their views on the golf and one or two other topics of interest - like George’s decision to wear long sleeves on one of the hotter days of the year.

So the Boys do their sum-up of Euro2016 and tell us what they really thought of the final and who they think should be the new England manager - is Big Sam the man?
But we are heading to the off-season or is it pre-season already? Wherever we’re at there’s some golf in the mix and the lads review the men’s Wimbledon final… kind of…!
It’s worth EVERY penny … it’s the Cabcast!

Can you guess what the Lads are chatting about this week in the back of Chads’ cab? When they filed this episode they called it EuroTrash, but it’s not just about England.
They talk bras and biscuits too and tire’s all the usual bants from the boys. Tweet @theCabcast

The Cabcasters are talking Euro trash (and treasure) this week in the back seat but it’s not all about what’s going on on the pitch.
The rather grim away kit that Spain have chosen gets a thumbs down and gets the boys thinking back to terrible kits of the past! Can you recollect some nightmare strips?

Georgie D’s still splinted up with his sore finger - anyone know how he did it? It prompts the crew to compare great sporting injuries - you’ll have to tune in to find out...

Blimey! Ramshackle is THE WORD for the Cabcast crew this week, the back of Georgie Davis’ cab is more like a doctors waiting room. The driver himself has a broken finger (?!), Jacko’s in a neck brace and Chads has got his foot strapped up - Swaybe’s claiming a groin injury but the less said about that the better.
So the Euros!
Naturally the boys are full of opinions about England, Wales and the rest of the sides at Euro16. So if you want to jump in and get in on the chat in the back of...

It’s hot stuff today in the back of Georgie D’s cab and the lads are dripping, quite literally.
With thunder rumbling around the city, talk turns to the upcoming Euros and Jamie Vardy’s future, should he leave Leicester for Arsenal? Or stay put and play his Champions League football with the Foxes.
The boys also wonder whether Sir Geoff Hurst is right when he says this squad is the most exciting for England since ’66.
And all of Swaybe’s jokes make it this week - with a tiny edit - you’ll...

The lads are joined by The Teacher this week, so can rest up while he does most of the talking. As England’s Euro 2016 squad had just been announced before recording, and because Russ managed to find a white board to play with - the Cabcasters decide to second guess Roy Hodgson and pick their own starting 11.
It’s not that straight forward of course as there’s little consensus on whether to 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 5-3-2
or shove a christmas tree up.
it’s the Cabcast and it costs nothing to listen...

It’s the stalwarts in the back seat this week, Russ, Chads, Jacko and Swaybe and there’s a bit debate about what’s the best takeaway, you’ll have to tune in to find out who chose a chinese over the chippy.
Also Russ has clearly reached “M”in his nightly bedtime reading of the dictionary as he promises many mind-blowing marvellous to debate… including of course what’s happening in Manchester.
There’s all the usual and a continuing debate about who Roy should be playing where - that’s going...

The Queen’s been out for a spin in the State Coach and it’s brought the traffic to a standstill. Chads is in his shorts so summer’s here but there’s still plenty of footy to talk about and top of the agenda is Hodgson’s England squad.
Who’s going to play up front?
They move on to discuss John Terry he’s signed another deal with Chelsea so why not take him to the Euros?!
That leads on to transfer talk… well the window’s open - like the Cab’s so join the hard-core regulars in the back for...

Four up in the back today and the first tropic of conversation turns to the sad scenes at Upton Park.
Obviously before the boys get round to the football related discussion there’s a debate about what West Ham’s home turf is actually called - when did calling it the Boleyn Ground become popular anyway?
There’s an history lesson - all you never knew about Ann Boleyn… and then to the match
And just one of the many questions that ensue - does playing out of position mess with your...

On the first Cabcast since Leicester became Premier League champions - there are some gaps in the taxi but we’ve still got all usuals.
It can be very informative and if you pay attention today learn a lot.
You can find out what "union teeth" are.
You’ll discover that a hint of sunshine makes the lads overheat like a bunch of menopausal women.
You’ll also find out whether the boys think Leicester won the title or the rest of the league lost it.
And they’ll tell you whether Wayne Rooney...

Takes the lads a while to get round to the football this week, Russ does manage to intro the team before the discussion moved onto tea and biscuits.- Jacko lays out his entire business plan!
When they do get round to talking about whether the game would benefit from another couple of linesmen on the pitch, the cab gets swiped by a van driver, as the hail and snow comes down and the thunder and lightning hits south London.
They do get around to taking a bit more footy and the London...

Before the lads even get introduced Russ is off on a rant, he never gets to stretch his unfeasibly long legs on a plane - makes you wonder how he fits in the cab?
Anyway he’s joined by Jacko, Chads and Swaybe to let rip at referees this week and they discuss whether it’s time to re-write the rules of football to help out the men in black.
All the usual features are in place including some rib-tickling jokes from “the Soul Man”, you might want to mind the stitches there…
It's fun. It's...

The lads start with a tune or two today and there’s a sneak preview of what you’d have to buy a ticket for to see at the London Palladium. @PalladiumLondon… singing cabbies on next week but not our lot you’ll be glad to hear.
When do you show the red card? Lots of talk about when refs get it wrong.
Jacko’s wondering if Andy Carroll should show his commitment to England by having a skinhead cut? Would getting his Barnet in order be less distracting?
After a long debate about hair dye the...

All corners covered in the cab this week with just four of the regulars making it into the back of Chad’s cabbie, he's joined by Georgie D, Swaybes and of course the skipper Russ Hall!
So what do they make of the International friendlies at the weekend or more importantly what does England boss Roy Hodgson think of the current crop - hear what the lads reckon he should do next!
Also we’ve got Friday football… a Hailo cabbie can still win £200 for 3 right results: Aston Villa v Chelsea, West...

Another roomy ride in this week’s cab as Russ, Chads, Jacko and Swaybe hold fort on all the top talking points from the weekend.
What constitutes a penalty? … tune in to hear what the lads reckon and how the rules of the game should be changed, and that’s not because no one got carded for the assault on Chads last Thursday leaving him with a gorgeous shiner.
Anyway it’s a good listen while you stock up on Easter Eggs… but don’t try too hard to understand what’s happening when they play...

There’s plenty of room in the back of the cab this week so Russ, Georgie D, Chads and Swaybe are spreading out, although there’s deep concern at the state of the bobbles on Chads’ jumper!
Arsene Wenger’s future at the Arsenal is once again up for debate and the lads get all musical about whether time’s finally up for the Frenchman.
They chew over the FA Cup draw, consider Costa’s love bite and have a punt at the Friday football - which rolls over after no one won last week £200 up to the...

This week on the Cabcast - see if you can spot the edits, someone left Russ in charge of pushing record and he had a bit of a mare - so the lads are a bit lively!
On the plus side they managed to keep it to the target time of 30 minutes - so effectively they’re given you the best of their thoughts on Morales and yellow cards and all the usual blather!
We still have to bleep Georgie D swearing but there’s at least ONE good joke from The Soul Man
It's fun. It's factual. It's top-drawer.
