    Conor Faughnan has carved out a niche for himself as the go-to expert on virtually any motoring topic...

    ... all off reading out the AA Traffic reports a couple of decades ago.

    I'd love to see a running tally of how many times he appears on prime time radio programmes in Ireland across a week.

    I'd say average is 6.

    I like Matt but he's cringe when he talks about Trump

    If he's cringe about anything, he's cringe about sport. Cliche-ridden, negative, begrudging, hasn't a sporting instinct in his being.

    Sounds like someone is tickling his balls, always about to start laughing. ...

    Still one of the best shows on the radio in my opinion. Cooper (while sometimes a little populist) still knows his politics and can give a good a grilling as anyone.

    Many have said this already but that cringe 6 at 6 thing needs to go, just because she says "yes matt" or "thats right matt" before reading off the news in that drone of a voice does not make it sound like a real conversation

    I like the 5 at 5, 6 at 6 bits.

    Disclaimer: I like The Last Word, and think Matt does a good job with it. However, some of the regular guests can really irritate, two prime examples being Jennifer Gannon (TV slot) and Nick Webb (Business). Both annoying for different reasons but, lead to the same result - me turning off the radio

    Definitely one of the biggest spanners I've heard on radio in a long time.

    We had at least three buckets of cash references from Nick on Monday night. Having a business news slot isn't a bad idea but like the the 5 at 5 stuff, just tell us the news and move on.

    This might be a rhetorical question but what the hell is Paul Kimmages problem. He was beyond rude to Mark Lawrenson there and kept referring to him as 'Expert'. Did they have a bit of a spat?

    Kimmage is just one of those individuals who is constantly mad as hell with the world. Massive chip on the man's shoulder(s) for one reason or another.

    It must be a massive chip to be such a toolbox on national radio. I would say Lawrenson was livid after segment finished. He didn't seem to answer Kimmage towards the end.

    Mark Lawrenson is the most sarcastic, know-it-all pundit out there. No harm at all in bringing him down a peg or two!
