Wooly is setting the agenda on today's show so we'll be kicking things off with a chat about bottlers tonight after Wexford hurling champions Oulart the Ballagh lost their fourth consecutive Leinster Hurling final.

With that in mind, our own Tommy Rooney also had a look at some of sport's most notorious bottlers:
American Football
The Buffalo Bills famously lost four Super Bowls in a row from 1990 to 1993. The first of those was particularly galling as they lost 20 - 19 with Bills kicker Scott Norwood narrowly missing a kick that would have won the game and the NFL title.
Minnesota Vikings have also lost four Super Bowls and never won one. But at least theirs were not consecutive defeats.
Gaelic Football
Roscommon's Clann na Gael lost four All-Ireland club finals in a row (1986-1990), although they did manage to win six Connacht titles in a row during the 1980s.
The smallest margin of defeat in those finals came in 1987 when they lost by three points to St Finbarr's of Cork.
Mayo have endured plenty of heartache in All Ireland finals, losing in 1996, 1997, 2004, 2006, 2012 and 2013 as their 62 year wait for Sam Maguire goes on.
Hurling
Oulart the Ballagh might have lost a fourth Leinster final in a row on Sunday, but that is not the first time they have lost consecutive provincial titles.
The Wexford side also lost two Leinster finals in a row in 1994 and 1995.
Snooker
Jimmy White was defeated in the six World Championship finals which he reached, missing an easy black in the 1994 final against Stephen Hendry which would have seen him triumph.
Soccer
England are notorious bottlers when it comes to penalty shoot-outs at major tournaments. They have exited six of the last 10 major tournaments which they have qualified for in that manner.
Golf
Sergio Garcia has yet to win a major and bottled the British open and the USPGA to Padraig Harrington.
And at the 1999 Open Championship, Jean Van de Velde was clear leader going into the last few holes, needing only a double bogey-six to win. But he overcooked his drive, taking off his shoes to take a shot from the water and ended up with a triple bogey-seven.
It went to a play-off with Justin Leonard and Paul Lawrie, which Lawrie won.
