I quite like hawksbee and jacobs ,they have a good rapport with eachother and always seem to have a genuine laugh and i love andy jacobs hissy fits whenever chelsea get beat.
If i listen to talksport it's usually between 1-4.

I think TS deserves a word of credit for getting Ronnie Irani off the Brazil show - one of the most ignorant idiots I've ever heard on the radio, sounding like a little boy chirping in between 2 adults - "....but look at the money City have spent......" etc.

I like Brazil - the scum in him doesn't really come out and part of his charm is his stupidity in pronunciation etc, plus his legendary socialing skills! I also find Hawsbee and Jacobs very funny - partly because they seem to be in my age group and much of their humour derives from sport and TV in the past, all relevant to me but I can understand why younger people might not get it sometimes. Quinny I find OK, and whoever he was with this summer, but if Keyes and Gray are back you wont find me listening to them, fauning over some has-been in their interviews, Keyes pretending he knew every star throughout time.

Durham is the main Mr Controversy - if he's giving someone I dont like a good slagging I sometimes find it entertaining, but if he's talking shite about City or something else I go back to local radio.
I always look forward to your letters on the sky text pages John. I've almost missed a couple though because I have to skip past the rangers and celtic crap. Some of the rags on there are priceless. Almost as bad as Irani.

Think I got in trouble again yesterday, basically saying (in polite speak) Gazza was just one of life's twats who needed to pull himself together. The self-righteous think he has an 'illness'. Naughty me.
 
Couldn't believe my ears yesterday morning on the Brazil show. "Now over to the Moose with all today's football news".... Cue two choruses of Glory Glory Man United record with the fat cnut (West Ham fan) humming along. Record ends; Moose "Manchester United is not their original name. Do either of you (Brazil / Cork) know what they were originally called?" Some humming and ahhing from Brazil (ex Rag) and Cork, then Moose again: "Newton Heath, that's what they were originally known as...... Well, news today is that after 100 years Hull City AFC are to change there name to Hull city Tigers".

Case closed
 
Brazil is almost bearable now they have fired off Irani but lets not be fooling anyone that the station like SSN and Sky are geared up for the the rags, lets have a look at the talking heads they use and all of these are either presenters or regular contributors.

Matt Holland=Rag
Andy Goldstein=Rag
Brazil (Davey Moyes) Brazil=Celtic/Rag
Mark Bosnich= Rag
Crerand=Rag
Little Mikey Owen=Money/Rag
Wilkins=Chelsea/Rag

The above are just a few never mind Brazil's special guests since Irani (Rag) was fired (partly due to the sterling work of BM i like to think)
Darren Campbell=Rag
Greg Rutherford=Rag
Olly Fucking Murrs=Rag

City get if we are lucky David Conn (Ha ha), Peter Reid (Can do 4 clubs) or Joe Royle,

talksport is just a manyoooo wank fest , nearly every presenter is a rag or has rag connections or like gough who knows fuck all about football and claims hes a barnsley fan but spends all his time with his tongue up the arse of yooonited fans to retain his popularity , he was shit at cricket as well.
Really? Hawksby is a spurs season ticker holder, Jacobs likewise with Chelsea. Durham is a Peterborough fan. Quinn is a Liverpool fan. Saggers is Oxford I think. Brazil is a Celtic fan, though I see the united link there. Candy is a Chelsea fan. Not sure on the 10am slot guys. The only declared united fan on there is the guy from soccer am who presents with cundy, so all in all you've not really thought your post through and have just gone for the old 'everyone supports united' route, even though they are the most hated club in the land.
I like the way the only answer to this was 'their sidekicks are rags then'.

Funny.
 
They had Paul McGrath on the phone the other morning. He couldn't string two words together, I'm sure he was pissed. They couldn't get him off quick enough. Most amusing. Brazil spends half the morning asking people to ring in and they seem to put about 2 callers on an hour.

Keys and Gray have moved on to be the main presenters on Al Jazeera so we won't be hearing them in the 10-1pm slot again, although they are doing a Friday night preview show on TS. Danny Kelly, who I think is an excellent broadcaster, has been filling in over the summer but he's being replaced by everyones favorite Northern Irish Liverpool supporter, Colin Murray. He starts on Monday.
