Naked Football Show Tonight - Ipswich Town News

This evening's Naked Football Show (ICR FM 6pm) sees regular hosts Graham Blackburn and David James joined by Joe Fairs to discuss the Blues' ongoing relegation battle. Last night’s games at the bottom of the table — ex-Blue Jason Scotland netted his fifth goal for Barnsley as they beat Brighton 2-1 at home and Peterborough drew 1-1 at Leeds — mean that Town remain 20th but with all three sides in the relegation places now just four points behind them.

Last week's show is available on MP3 here and it is on iTunes here.
