Watford Fan On Talksport

Giraldi needed him in the shop window.

 

We might not have got hammered, but we put in our fair share of shambolic defensive performances that I'm sure we wouldn't have kept the score down against City had Pearson stayed on

 

Does anyone give a toss about anything on TalkSport? All aimed towards getting clicks rather than any intelligent discussion

 

5 live has gone the same way tbh. Gone are the days of your Mark Chapman's doing 606, it's all the likes of Savage and Sutton.

 

Did his price go up or down after that display??

 

Hawksby and Jacobs is excellent.

 

I used to listen to Talksport a lot when I was getting into football shortly after it changed from Talk Radio, but looking back I don't know why. Most of the presenters were tossers with the exception of the lovable idiot Alvin Martin, Tom Watt (who left early on) and Brian Moore (sadly passed away in 2001 after being presenter of Inside the Boardroom, one of the station's few bright spots) and the callers were largely thick and/or had chips on their shoulders.

I haven't listened to Radio 5 for years and football phone-ins for longer but I recall the presenters were more likable or at least better-informed and insightful and the discussions were generally more intelligent.

 

Jesus that’s embarrassing. It’s like the Hornet’s Nest section of this forum brought to life.

 

He'd look alright in a shop window. I think we may have stumbled on the reason Troy will be with us until his contract ends, however.

 

Don’t think Chapman ever did 606 and Savage has been doing it for a while now.

But, as I have posted before, bring back Danny Baker.

 

He definitely did it a few times. Think it may have been on a Sunday.

 

Oh yes, maybe.

He’s been off anyway as his wife died recently.

 

What bugs me about 5 Live is not Savage and Sutton but the relentless effort to make football “more relevant” to yoof. There’s a profoundly irritating slot where an Arsenal fan chats and bants with his mates. Think it is called “The Squad”?

Still, I am a grumpy old man.

 

I find it amazing that Darren Gough, a man with the same amount of Ashes wins as me, can talk about football as a supposed expert.

I assume he's still there. I don't know/care.

 

To me I think this is the same thing. Five Live employ wind-up merchants to encourage 'banter' and appeal to 'da yoof'.
Sutton and Savage are prime examples of this- akin to the idiots on Talkshyte.

 

If they need an ex-cricketer in they should get Freddie.

 

He was good too. Let's not bring Mellor back though.

 

Yes they are very good,Hawksby is very quick and Jacobs chuckles and rants are fun!
The rest of them are as much use as ...insert your choice here.

 

I think for Watford related discussions they should have W G Grace on. There's a man who could point out we didn't even have a football club to support in 1880.

 

Cease and desist.

 

But Sutton and Savage are grumpy old men too.

I find them vaguely amusing, if I am honest. Only vaguely, mind.

 

I quite like Mellor on Classic FM. @I Blame Bassett ?

 

Absolutely tragic, it's just football. What's worrying is that he sounds like he might be an adult, if Watford can get him that worked up, what does he do when there's a real problem at work or life in general?

 

I’m waiting for Ian from Abbots Langley to phone in.

 

Do you know I don't think I've heard him.
He's a weekend chap isn't he?
Heard all the others I think,AA,Suchet,Aled, Annemarie,T Mc.

 

To be honest, the fact that some Watford fans get so angry and have posted countless times on this forum about the fact that Deeney usually hits penalties down the middle successfully sums up the fanbase as a whole.

Strangest fans in the world.

 

Can't bear either of them.
They are on the same "See their face or hear their voice, switch it off" list as Michael McIntyre and Mrs Brown's boys.

 

5pm Sundays.

He’s quite knowledgeable and affable.

 

Used to have talksport on in the background when commuting but now listen rarely as home working.
Think their promotion of betting rather nauseating. Simon Jordan worth a listen but likes the sound of his own voice.
Savage I switch off as he is very aggressive and all his calls on 606 end up in slanging matches.

 

Talksport 2 is good for Championship and all EFL related stuff...

It's a perplexing technique, but it works so who cares?

 

Does he still get Ken Bates to phone in and slag off Rimsky-Korsakov?

 

That's sad. Must have been quite young too.
