Talksport

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

its just wishful thinking on their part. just don't tune in. do what I do, get the news, laugh at the topic heads up regarding Manchester united and switch off.

the sad part about all this is that we have football's leading product in this country. the whole world wants to know about the premier league and yet we don't have a serious, advert free, bias free, click baiting free broadcaster brave enough to put out a show. I mean a real show with real guests, and real phone ins and discussions with not a script in sight.

Thr idea of listening to rolling sports news with some debate to it whilst in your car instead of listening to all the shite music stations should be a winner. Talk sport gets a monopoly over this as no one else seems to want a slice of the market, the only thing similar is 5live and their sports programs only appear on the weekends.

There is not one single show worth listening too on talk sport, the boiled bollock in the morning is piss poor researched stuff pandering to the rags driving to work, Colin Murray and Hawsbee and Jacobs is self indulgent ramble.

The only show worth listening to was Keys and Gray and they were just treading water till they got their next tv deal.

We shouldn't really get wound up about talk sport when the tv stations who screen the football into our living rooms can't do it in an objective way. They just have to follow suite and give us blanket coverage of the old sky 4, oh how they wish it must be 2004 and we were not a big pinging threat on their radar.

Jesus Mary and the orphans! Did anybody hear Brazil and Macari just then?

Going on about how Bale and Ronaldo 'could' be joining but not before the Spurs game.

Then going on about how. They will finish above City and challenge for the title? Absolutely fucking pathetic.

Gets brainwashed white van man in Milton Keynes all excited.....

There doesn't seem to be much appetite for a dedicated sports news channel amongst the broadcasting companies. There must be a reason why it's viewed as a non-starter because you wouldn't imagine they'd be too concerned about the 'opposition'. Talksport bill themselves as the "biggest sports radio channel in the world" - I guess they're competing against themselves for that title (and they're still lucky to win it) because I don't know of any other in this country. Personally I'd enjoy listening to an intelligent, witty, up to the minute sports radio station hosted by professional, entertaining and reasonably impartial presenters featuring quality guests. So, pretty much the complete opposite of Talksport and Alan Brazil, Micky Quinn, Darren Gough, Georgie Bingham etc etc.

They keep spouting the Tranny and Bale crap and to be fair even a stopped watch is right twice a day.......shame everything has gone digital.

This morning they had that renowned Pundit, Lee Bowyer, on

Predictably he came out with the favourite Talkport line of the moment "I think United will finish above City". They no longer ask can United win the league, it's always can United finish above City.

He says City won't win the league because they can't be trusted to get results away from home on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. Now, I thought that doesn't sound right so I just checked and in the two seasons under Pellers we've played 5 premiership away matches on a Tuesday or Wednesday night

Stoke 1 City 4
Sunderland 1 City 4
West Brom 2 City 3
Rags 0 City 3
Spurs 1 City 5

They really know their stuff on that Station...

It's rare they let facts get in the way of a good biased opinion.

Good post and something hundreds of us have been hoping for a long time, but alas I fear it will never happen

whether somebody launches a serious alternative or not ( and they should ) fact is that its about time that the total disregard for the facts - number of wins, number of points scored etc etc - in the run in or the fact that Tia Maria has gone for a loss and the rags are NOT gonna buy Tranny etc etc are well and truly pointed out to the people who run these stations - they need to ask themselves are they paying good journalists rates of pay to good journalists? And if not could they get replacements in who could do a proper job and do it for less. These days the idea of getting a better job done for less is very appealing to management and the idea that half the wankstains on Talkshite could be let go coz they are useless would be very appealing.

I think there are quite a few we could mention that could be dismissed on capability failings for starters...................

How much do you think these presenters are on?

I would love a job where I get paid to make shit up.
