one thing that is really gripping my s**t with this lot is them constantly referring to Gollum as 'Davey' some prentious, false, sycophantic misplaced affection to someone who couldn't give 2 s***s about any one of them!!!

Just tuned into radio Norfolk.......

You're right, that Davey nonsense is toe curling, whatever David Moyes is he's no Davey, and I don't remember any Davey at Everton, but it's par for the course, Davey is code to the listeners that he's a "good un", one of us, a pie a pint bloke worthy of our affection, it's complete bollocks.

Spot on, it is (as you put) toe curlingly bad radio...

Brazil is also more than fond of refering to 'Wayne' when speaking about the granny shagger. 'Wayne' this and 'Wayne' that - he / they obviously have no idea of just how pathetic they actually sound.

The station is laughable. It is a permanent wind up that makes it's money from listeners calling and it is a successful business model. They will be very unlikely to turn against MUFC because, much as I despise it, they have more fans worldwide than any other British club.

One way to hit them is for every non United supporting fan to stop listening and ringing the station.

Another way is to set up a rival station, a genuine sports discussion station with a balance of presenters who support a wide spectrum of clubs.

Don't feed the beast!

659m 'supporters' will not be tuned in to the station. 658m have probably never even heard of it.

I tweeted the Moose once to ask why they all refer to a player with as though they know them, like Davey today. I listed a few examples of it, and he tweeted back 'you forgot Scotty', as in Parker. They are aware they do it, and it's probably to get peoples backs up, like what's happening in this very thread.

You make a very good point there Pigeon.
Lets not forget that this forum and City fans in general who in not a small way were responsible for Irani (RIIAC!) losing his job as co-presenter with Brazil. From all reports he was none to happy about it. Hence his silly, childish way of getting back at us - possible?

Do you really think the powers that be at TS looked at this forum, that thread in particular and fired Irani because of it, or partly because of it?
As for Brazil, I was always under the impression he didn't like Irani anyway, as their co-presenting was awkward to say the least. Either way though, I can't see how him referring to Moyes as 'Davey' is a way of getting back at City fans, it's just them talking as though they know everyone in football personally, which they know will get the backs up of football fans the nation wide. It does my head in, yet for the life of me I don't know why, it just does. 'Scotty' used to wind me right up.

I tweeted Moose the other night, he commented on how Kate & Wills' kid was the same birth weight as him. Naturally, I pointed out that the kid had a lot of eating to do to catch up with the fat fuck. Strangely, he didn't reply....

What's your twitter ID, Pige?

They refer to our players on first name terms too, I have been guilty of it, mainly with Mario as it's quicker. That affectionate 'y' on the end though, well fuck that.
