When it comes to puns, similes and quirky lines, Barney Ronay's at the top of the game in the world of football writing.
The Guardian sports writer will be in Dublin next Tuesday, February 27th at Liberty Hall for a Football Weekly live show alongside Max Rushden, Barry Glendenning and Jonathan Wilson and ahead of that Ronay joined me live from Stamford Bridge's (rather noisy)press room on this Tuesday's Team 33 to discuss three themes: The modern midfield controller, the enduring effectiveness of the throw-back target man and the perception and treatment of Raheem Sterling in the media and where that comes from.
