Alistair Mann, lovely bloke, but does he ever realise that less is more and shut the fuck up for 5 seconds? Just let us sit back and enjoy!

Talk sport gets trashed on here, in all honesty the vast majority of the presenters, do not rubbish the club, with a few notable agenda driven exceptions.

Most who trash it end their post with

"I haven't listened to it for 3 years and my life is so much better."

It is usually a journalist spouting non facts or Jordan who lets his arrogance outrun his ignorance who drive the agenda.

Erm, both Rushden and Glendenning write for the left wing Guardian and are never shy of stating their political leanings on their show!

Point of order.

The guardian is extremely liberal. It is in no way, shape, or form, left wing.

It is extremely anti-working class, and very much pro-elites.

I’d rather buy the telegraph. At least they don’t hide who they shill for.

The public would disagree with you about the guardian....

How left or right-wing are the UK’s newspapers? | YouGov

Complaints that the British press has a right-wing bias have long been made by left-wingers – but is this a state of affairs the public recognises?

(admittedly from a few years ago)

Don't buy or read any of them myself to be fair though.

All the media want at the moment is halland TV companies etc etc all they are talking about is halland he's the next big global superstar. I'm adamant it's why the rags were desperate to hold on to Ronaldo.

Mrs KS has no interest in football. Last night she asked who this guy Haaland was that “every radio station is on about.”

Is that the one Mane was hanging the back end of?

What did you tell her?

Tariq? Who?
Never heard of him, them, her, they.

And the likes many of them give to any anti brexit tweets is also a giveaway.

Which is a shame because brexit has been an unqualified success.

 

[KS55]

What did you tell her?

I have said: “He’s out of your class”

My uncle was a bus driver on the old 53 route, lovingly called the "Jerusalem to Baghdad route".

We used to call it "The African Queen" back in the day.

I tend to agree with this. It is what it is, designed to provoke controversy and filled with over the top outlandish statements - a lot of which I completely disagree with.

They go to town on the rags as well though, every bit as much as us. Anyone really, where they can provoke a reaction and listener engagement that's a job done. So long as you can accept it for what it is, by in large its quite an easy listen.

The only one presenter I really can't stand is Simon Jordan, ironically he's the pinnacle of what Talksport represents but the rest of them sound like blokes down a pub discussing their favourite teams where as Jordan sounds like an arrogant know it all when in actual fact he's a rambling idiot. He's articulate in how he puts across his views, which ultimately people sadly buy in to.

@SebastianBlue whilst it's true that there is a sell on clause for Alfies lad, the media don't like admitting the full clause.
Yes he can go for 150 million but, there's always a but, it can only be activated if we fail to qualify for the Champs League 2 years in a row.
When they tell us he's off to Madrid in 2 years the pundits always forget that last part.

Cheers — now I’m off to stop the free climbing…

Every time I watch this it makes my heart sing!



There is a reason they are 'pundits' on SKY TV and that's because they are washed
up bums who didn't have a brain cell between them and now need to earn a few quid
whatever way they can. You can only pity them for what they are.

Watched the Forest match again last night. Had to turn the sound off, not Mann, I just couln't do with 'The Goat's" inaudible waffling. Made Michael Brown sound good if that's possible. Whinge, whine yeah I know.

 

[Looby blue]

Erm, both Rushden and Glendenning write for the left wing Guardian and are never shy of stating their political leanings on their show!

They even had Kier Starmer on as a guest once. No politics were discussed, they talked about grassroots football and then had a laugh and a joke, all lefty pals together having a right old giggle.

Really pissed me off.

Yes, Mrs BSHR was heard to say "Wow! has that lad got another three?!" And she's positively hostile to football!
