I listen to both Talksport and 5 Live a lot. It's quite simple really, if you want some good quality journalism and sports reporting from presenters and pundits with carefully formed opinions and facts then listen to 5 Live. If you want to be entertained in a more lighthearted manner then listen to Talksport, but take everything they say with a pinch of salt. Most of their presenters are there with a remit to put accross a sensationalist veiwpoint in order to get a reaction and get listeners ringing in as that is how they make their money. Depending on what mood I am in or the type of story I want to hear discussed then I will chose which one to listen to.

He's knowledgeable, articulate and very passionate about his football. A good listen if the subjects are interesting enough.
Agree. Can be negative about us but I do like listening to him. Spot on about Beckham btw.
Yeah, that Beckham debate was interesting even though I totally disagree with collymore on that one.

That pretty much sums it up,
It like if you feel in a clever mood you buy a broadsheet paper and think you're all intellectual, but if you not really in a thinking mood and just want to look at the pictures you buy a tabloid.....

Good analogy mate.

Parry makes me laugh, Hawksbee and Jacobs can be hysterically funny.
I think Hawksbee is brilliant I agree but I can't stand Jacobs, he's just the straight man but gets ALOT of bile in about us. Constantly going on about us "buying" success, he's a Chelsea fan for fuck's sake!

I'd concur with this but these days on H&J provide any real entertainment. Anyone remember the Euro slot that Durham did with Bellegue and Marcotti? it was simply class. They seem to have strayed a wee bit from them days.
I like Brazil cos he's just a big fat character. This is surely his finest hour

So you don't think my Times Crossword and a pair of Tits paper will catch on then. I thought I'd hit a niche market there.
Talksport's Ok as long as you don't take it too seriously. Brazil makes me laugh, Irani needs a slap.
