Talksport

True, I can just about stand Andy Jacobs but Paul Hawksbee is just an over-age Head boy.
When they started out on the station they were quite funny and daring. Now they present the same tired old format, day after day, week after week, year after year.

And that sums up talkSPITE in a nutshell.
The format, the shows, the presenters very rarely, if ever change. They just go on air and do the same stuff day in, day out, week in, week out, year in, year out exactly as you say. There is never anything new, innovative or refreshing. It is a stale station with a very stale format and even more stale presenters. Every radio station refreshes the format and presenters every now and then for that reason. Not this lot. They just milk the advertisers the best they can. talkSPORT2 is huge improvement over the original channel. It covers other sports apart from football in some depth - such as boxing and has some knowledgeable presenters who don't have the ego and arrogance the others have.
I very, very rarely listen to it nowadays and when I do it is invariably for a very short period of time.

I think it's the other way round. Hawksbee is the funnier, wittier guy of the two. Jacobs is useless, just nods along with Hawksbees humour.

Are you sure, I find Jacobs is fine with anyone else and can be quite amusing whereas with Hawksbee he seems to be under too much control.

Expect lots of rags sounding dipperesque calling in.

Lost its best presenter,and most interesting,relevant and genuine show,when Colin Murray left.

The two lemons that present between 1300 and 1600 are a waste of skin.

To be fair to Murray, his show was quite good in terms of content (even though I have never really liked him) and he left the station on principal (can't knock him on that)..........

However, I have to go against the common consensus as I quite like Hawksbee & Jacobs (it's the only show that I will regularly turn on for).

The rest of the shows fail spectacularly to provide decent sporting insight despite presenting themselves as such (maybe some of Danny Kelly's stuff aside), but H & J are 2 comedic writers so deliver a more light-hearted few hours (maybe it's a subtle difference sub-consiously for me without the 'sporting experts'). Maybe my expectations are lowered.......

Anyway we're all different but generally the radio station as a whole is always on the WUM to me.........
 
I listen to talksport for one reason. To see how much and what hate/jealousy there is for City amongst opposition fans.

Othr than that it is shite, they have a cricketer talking shit about football (All the cliches and no knowledge), all of them seem to be fat sweaty dudes, women are NOT allowed unless they are the light entertainment, they all like their football to be like it was in the 90's, and tbh if it was the 90's I would highly suspect half of them of being pedo's
 
Europa Express and Tim Vickery reports from South American football are the only two really good football things on tS, otherwise ts2 is much better. Unfortunately, Vickery is very often the guest on Hawkasbee&Jacobs - and Jacobs I cannot stand. But back to Vickery, when asked about Corinthians (I think) way of playing football this season, he said, '11 players hanging from their own cross-bar'. Brilliant!
 
They had their latest "Has the standard of the PL declined" debate on Drive the other day.

It's another way of expressing their angst about the fact that Man- chesss-terrr United aren't winning.

Making a good fist of it

When using the loos at work, footballer turned TalkSport broadcaster Jason Cundy doesn't like to use the standard issue toilet roll they have on offer to wipe his arse. Instead, he has a more 'bespoke' routine.

He likes to scrunch a bunch of paper handtowels around his fist – sort of like a human cottonbud – then douses it in water and rubs away until he's squeaky clean.

Obviously he'd risk clogging the bogs if he tried to flush such a mucky wad away afterwards. So he throws them in the bin instead.
