THIS is an emergency broadcast on The Buff: This is not a drill. Due to regular co-host Henry Hewitt’s unavailability (all explained in the pod), Marc had to find another capable pair of hands to help guide him through the wonderful world of Bolton Wanderers headlines. Unfortunately, the only person who picked up his phone was Derek Clark. Thankfully, and despite Derek’s wi-fi refusing to accept this was 2023, episode 192 was compiled in time to make sure you go into the last matchday before the

THANKS to some scheduling issues between Marc and Henry, we have had to do things a little differently this week... Marc guides you through some of the key talking points from the weekend's disappointing result against Wigan Athletic - but then we pretend it never happened, and wallow in a nice bit of 90s nostalgia.
