John Wark has consistently finished a percentage point or two of The Beat for most of the last 17 years.

The debate over which one ought to be top will almost certainly continue in pubs and on the TWTD Forum for many years to come.

That seems a fair summary of the situation.

Matt Holland has established himself in third over recent years with Paul Mariner nipping back ahead of Marcus Stewart into fourth, the pair having switched places and back again over the last four years.
