Talksport

Probably uses one of his lackies ? :-)

Pardon our interruption...

credit to BTH on the ebay thread :-)

Always makes me chuckle that Tesco slogan, given it's taken from the 18th century saying 'Every little helps said the old lady as she pissed into the sea' (though the French version had an ant doing the 'pissoir-ing'!) The Marketing johnnies behind that campaign really got paid good money for old rope!

Mind, given the constant drivel that is the output of the UK sports media, including the likes of TalkSport, as well as the actions of the Premier League, the metaphor of 'pissing in the sea' is probably an apt one!

I dont waste my breath. Last time i went down that route this rag (seemingly normal person, good job etc) said ,”if you get away with it youve just bribed the FA”

I couldnt be asking asking a) what the fucks it gotta do with it , and b) how this bribe went down. Does the sheik turn up with a tesco bag of used fiftys?

why didn't we just bribe 'em in the first place and save all this nonsense? tossers

Unpopular opinion - i quite enjoy listening to talksport when i'm at work, it's not at all as bad as people make out and some city fans are far too insecure.

Apart from that prat Jordan and his obvious hatred of course.

I’m the same. I couldn’t listen to it every day as it’s all a bit samey. But to occasionally pass the time at work, having it on in the background isn’t too bad most of the time.

Paul Ross was on the other night night, who I don’t mind.

Even Jordan, when he’s talking about boxing is bareable. He’s reasonably knowledgeable about boxing and isn’t desperately trying to sound controversial.

There’s one shouty guy in the afternoon who I can’t listen to though. Not sure who he is but it has to go off as soon as I hear him.

I listen sometimes on the way home from work.
If they're talking about the rags I turn over

That was last week, unless that was just his work bash.

By 8:30am he’s done a disappearing act, prior to which he said on air that these early, heavy starts aren’t good. Slurring his words.

Listened this week and apparently he had a bug.

Ok Al, course you did!

I must admit that tosser who's on about half 4 talks none stop about the rags.

Exactly this. It is what it is and if you get that it’s fine.

Toke Spote!

I gave it up completely about the same time. I have genuinely never listened to a word of it since and never will. It’s equivalent to The Sun. In other words it’s a comic. But a nasty, spiteful, hateful one.
My life and blood pressure is all the better for it.

 

[eversince 76]

Not listened to it for over a decade. Not even visiting this topic on here.

Mike Parry was comical…….

He was. He was your classic ‘shock jock’ but in sports media, which hadn’t been done before in sports broadcasting in the UK. He and talkSPORT were the equivalent of the Sunday Sport in radio terms and still are. The problem with the football media in this country, is that we have imbeciles at talkSPORT at one level and the self styled, upper class ‘experts’ like Matthew Syed and Henry Winter at the other level. There is no middle ground to offer objective, balanced and reasonable debate and discussion. The whole lot is a complete shit show which literally gets worse by the day. I have simply fucked it off. I don’t read, watch or listen to any of them anymore. There is no point.
