13/04/23 - Sports Minutes: The great debate, VVD or Vidic?
Virgil van Dijk is “far better” than Nemanja Vidic and was “the best player” in the Premier League for a while. This according to former Liverpool stalwart Jamie Carragher. A statement that's certainly caused much uproar, especially amongst those of a Manchester United persuasion.
Elliott and Raushan run their rule over both defenders, and have their say on who was the better of the two.

12/04/23 - Sports Minutes: Is Tiger's time up?
At the place where it all began, the end has never seemed closer for Tiger Woods. 16 years on since he dominated Augusta to clinch his maiden Masters, the 47-year old's participation at the 2023 edition came to an agonising end as he was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to an injury. So where to from here for the 15-time major winner? What does he have left to prove, and what will be his legacy IF he does call it a day?
Timothy Low, international golf commentator, joins Elliott and Raushan to share his thoughts.
