Just a question but do Villa fans think we get a raw deal from talksport and do you think it's about time we got a new sports radio that is less big 5 and
more of all premier league, and to be honest don't the presenters talk tripe.
-
They appeal to their market - London, Liverpool and Man United. Beyond that they could not care less.
-
They're also massive wind-up merchants because nobody would listen to a mild mannered station that offends nobody. I used to hate-listen but it wasn't doing my blood pressure any good.
-
My biggest issue, and we have done this subject before, is the genuinely appalling intelect of their "expert" ex sports "stars".
Mickey Quinn is as intelligible as a termite eating its own excrement, Darren Gough must have been hit on the head by a few cricket balls as he seem incapable of any coherent though, Jason Cundy - enough said. It gets very trying.
I listen when Danny Murphy is on - he is a good listen.
-
Yes I Agree with you and I only listen because its the ONLY major football related Sports station. 5 live is Good but not always football.
-

Pat Murphy is always worth a listen - used to think he had a Villa-shaped chip on his shoulder but realised he just saw through the Lambert/Lerner bluff
-
He still has an anti Villa chip on his shoulder. The Clough/Forest/ONeill combo appears to be perfect to him, and nothing will convince him otherwise. Continues to wax lyrical about MON even today and how we miss him.

Pat Murphy is simply a good sports journo who asks tough questions and doesn't care who he pisses off. He was interviewing the england cricket captain yesterday and was critical enough to really wind him up too.
Its a shame that he stands out because IMO every journalist's job should be all about being critical and asking questions that the powerful might not want to answer.
-
It's a real mix of personalities isn' it? I think some of the presenters are pretty decent (Colin Murray, Danny Kelly, Paul Hawksbee even Adrian Durham who seems to be on less of a wind-up mission these days) but then you veer to the ridiculous with morons like Alan Brazil and Jason Cundy. There's not even any correlation with their co-hosts. Brian Moore and Ray Wilkins are both quite insightful and interesting, whilst Dominic Cork comes across as a middle-aged man desperately trying to pretend he's a lad. Then there are the likes of David Ginola and Neil Warnock, who you're never really sure actually know where they are. Bizarre.
It could be a really good station, but I think it tries too hard to be all things to all men, and I find myself switching over more than I listen.

well yes agree, but manu fan base is massive so have to include them liverpool arent far behind, and then you have london, where there based so thats the mechanics of it.
Collymore ups our profile, but more mind boggling for me is on the basis of the talksport mechanics, radio wm and brmb (whatever their latest name is) ignoring the mass market for clubs who in all intent and purpose will be out of existence in twenty years time.
our fan base might not be that of manu or liverpool but we are by far the biggest club in the midlands.
go figure
-
Haven't listened to it in years, last time I did some knob bleating racist shite made me vow never to let it darken my airwaves again.
-

Couldn't agree more. Too much sports journalism is about breaking transfer stories that generate clicks rather than asking the questions that matter.
Throw in a real story like operacion puerto and they attack the journalists doing the real work so that they can continue to be fed the clubs' official line.

United/Liverpool/Arsenal/City/Chelski/Spurs ad infinitum
-
When we were always finishing sixth under O'Neill, their content was aimed towards focusing on the top four. Now we are (currently) no longer finishing top six they seem to have extended their focus to the current top six.
Behind the scenes I have no doubt that the London clubs plus Man Utd/City and Liverpool have a little cartel going with the media - I'm sure they are grouping together to maximise their profiles and exposure. A case in point is the way NBC have marketed football in the US since they got the contract - everything seems to revolve around those six clubs.
It'll be interesting to see if the media alter their approach when Spurs do their eventual crash and burn. Likewise it'll be interesting to see if they take us seriously in the event of a major takeover. Hopefully the appointment of Tom Fox will set in motion more ambitious and switched-on approaches to raising our media profile.
-
I like Collymore on there, him and Mark Saggers can be a good listen and on the rare occasions that i've heard him, Sam Matterface has been ok as well. After that, i'm struggling.
-
I will listen to Collymore, but nobody else.
Their adverts make me want to put kittens in microwaves too.
"Vaaaaaaaanarama!"
Fuck off!
-
there was a brilliant piece of theatre from Stan last night when, during a roundtable wankfest with Barry Silkman and two other knobheads, his mobile started trilling. He left the studio, returned, and melodramatically announced that it was 'the Villa' personally informing him that there was going to be no more business before the deadline, in or out. Even before the 'call ended, as we now know, Lambert had revived his interest in TC23.

They are three decent broadcasters. I feel sorry for them having to talk about betting and other adverts during commentaries.
I hope that you gamblers out there realise just how annoying all the betting adverts and promotions are for some of us.

I switch it off if i ever hear that Omega Loans adverts. It's fucking dire.
-
They're a commercial station and therefore their objective is to get listeners rather than push any journalistic boundaries. The easiest way to do that is to be controversial and provocative. It would be a much higher risk (and expensive option) to properly research and develop quality radio.
I much prefer podcasts where there is no/minimal commercial motivation. The guardian, Tuesday Club and the Football Ramble all offer more than Talksport in my opinion.

Although that "Have I got PPI? Have I got PPI?" song is well fucking catchy.

Saggers strikes me as someone who was once a decent broadcaster, but since joining TalkSport has become as bad as the rest of them, with his constant, obvious attempts to sound angry and be controversial about things.
I understand why, but since going there he has gone way downhill.
-

I actually work in the gambling industry and think there is far, far too much gambling advertising in the UK (all formats of advertising).
I find the sheer amount of it pretty depressing, and would gladly legislate against it if i were in government.

Yeah and they all seem to be the most annoying adverts on TV, with the latest being "the Ladbrokes life" offering. How about in the next installment of "the Ladbrokes life" they show someone having their house repossessed or having a breakdown due to the debts they have run up through gambling.
-
I remember hearing Alvin Martin on TS not so long ago saying that he can’t take fans of smaller/lower league clubs as seriously as supporters of the very top teams, I was staggered - in other words plastic fans of Sky 4 sides come before local fans of say Crewe.
Also, Mark Bosnich really narks me when he regularly makes a guest appearance calling in from somewhere in Australia. He made 85% of his appearances for us, yet always talks about Man U despite 2 brief inglorious spells with them and discusses events at Chelsea where he played even less for them from and was sacked from. We don’t get a mention.
-
there is an epademic in this country with gambling, and the bookmakers are making it more and more accessable, sorry about my attempt at humour before it is a serious issue, but while those with money are making money they dont give a shoot.

Totally agree, he's become way too sensationalist. Alvin Martin and Matt Holland tend to be OK when they're on there and give considered opinion. I can't listen to Adrian Durham and Darren Gough on weekday evenings (how on earth Gough has got himself that gig is a mystery), but Durham tends to be OK on the matchday show on a Saturday. Although he's a nose, Ian Danter is OK as well.

Surprising to hear that, as he has two sons playing at League One clubs. The thing with Bosnich is annoying, but nowhere near as bad as when the same happens with Paul McGrath.

When I was at school, mark saggers was a sports reporter for the local BBC radio station. He really fancies himself as a cricketer, and because my school had a really top-notch pitch, he would turn out for a local side against our school first XI.
Friends of mine in the team said he was the biggest arsehole they'd ever played against. Glaring and scowling at bowlers when he was batting, refusing to walk, sledging our batsmen and trying to intimidate the opposition and the umpires.
Bearing in mind he was a grown man playing against kids of 15 or 16, I think that speaks volumes.
-
I hate Saggars and Pougatch ( is that how you spell his daft name) but I save my pure hatred for Ian Payne, the fucking cock-end

I'd love to know what he said in his 'sledging'.
Can't listen to any sport radio. I'm too intolerant. Coming across the likes of Cascarino on tv is enough for me.
-
At east they finally got rid of that prick Ronnie Iraqi off the breakfast show, he spouted pure bullshit claiming to have been at Old Trafford for big matches when he was actually playing in a cricket match for Essex at the time.
I'm sure he only kept that job to give Brazil a lift in to work whilst he was banned for drink driving.
-

John Gaunt by any chance Chris?

I'm glad you've posted that Damon, I've never been in doubt that he's an absolute stroker but it's always nice to see it confirmed by other parties.

5Live report on very little else. Non-top 5 teams only get an "ahh, look at them, isn't it nice they're joining in" type of short discussion.
-
On Wikki it says the BBC didn't renew his contract because of a deep rift between him and Alan Green. He can't be all that bad then can he? Then again ....when two arseholes collide the winner is the biggest one.

Both of these adverts drive me mad, normally a cue for me to turn it off.
-
I like Hawksby, Jacobs and Danny Kelly. Who is that shouty bloke that tries too hard to be controversial about everything that is on with Gough in the late afternoon? He wants shooting. Numerous times. Then taken to Detroit.
-
Adrian Durham is usually quite complimentary about us most of the time compared to a few other clubs, notably Arsenal.
-
To be honest when I have heard Adrian Durham talk about the villa he says we are a massive club etc.
Hawksbey and Jacobs don't need to do the wind up bit like all the others do to get people to phone in there show is based on other things.
As for Alan bitter Brazil he just can't get over the fact we gave your boys one hell of a beating
-
Re TalkSport and their Manchester/Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs/Chelsea emphasis. They are an independent broadcaster who derive their income from advertising, where the bigger the audience the bigger the amount they can charge. Of course they are therefore going to pitch their content to deliver as big an audience as they can. The BBC, on the other hand, has no such commercial argument and should be significantly less NW/London-centric.
-
If I only had one decent punch in me I'd give it to that cretin 'the moose'.
-
I like Adrian Durham, Colin Murray, Stan and Sam Matterface when they are commentating, Hawksbee and Jacobs, Georgia, Ian Danter and Andy Goldstein.
-
For a nose Ian Danter is very fair towards up (I remember him pushing for Barry to get a call up for England when we started the campaign).
Probably the best presenter on there.
-
There are several on Talkshite that i do not like listening to such as Jason Cundy and the guy who is usually on with him but the one who really gets on my nerves is Darren Gough.I have to turn off after a few minutes listening to his drivel !
-
I seem to remember one of our fans calling into to question MON after he left and was immediately cut off after being told he was better than Ron Saunders as he'd built a great side while Saunders got lucky with a team he inherited in a weak era.

Just turned on 5Live and they're talking Man Utd. How interesting to hear the same shit being spouted over and over again. Formation blah formation blah formation blah...

Fuck me. Turned it over to TalkShite and they're talking formations. Of Man Utd.

Forgot about Georgie Bingham as I only really listen to the radio to and from work. She is a good presenter and deserves to be on more really.
-
Ian Danter is excellent. Danny Kelly is ok. Higgingbotham and Danny Murhpy are good co-hosts. The through the night show when Russ Hargreaves is very good. Loads of content. The two mikes are excellent too.
-
bbc including 5 live have to report on the bigger clubs as their fans make up a large part of their listeners..However the reporters themselves are not always supporters of these so called bigger clubs. In fact villa are fairly well represented in the popularity stakes within the bbc sports reporters.

When it comes to football, he comes out with the kind of opinions you hear from the average gloryhunter down the pub. What I do find strange, is that his analysis of cricket doesn't seem to be much above that level either.
-
What club is Darren Gough supporting this week?
-
Darren Gough/Micky Quinn are illiterate turds. Shit radio station. The equivalent of the Daily Star newspaper for the airwaves.
-
I do like Durham, Danter and Collymore as far as purely football based presenters go. Hawksbee and Jacobs are decent entertainment, I don't mind them having a moan about their own clubs. Colin Murray's not bad.
Brazil is just a prick.
Also, when Bosnich and McGrath are called and asked questions about Manchester United or Chelsea, there's nothing they can do but answer those questions.

There's Vassos Alexander as well.
Which other Beeb presenters are Villa?

I dunno about BBC people but I agree Villa fans are well represented in the sports media.
Matt Law, at the Torygraph is one of us. Simon Brotherton is, too. Then there's Alan Smith (who at the weekend I actually observed use that line he does in his FIFA 14 commentary about Villa being his boyhood club) and obviously Collymore.

It isn't Mark Bosnich and Paul McGrath that bother me, it's the station who introduces them as "former Man Utd star" and totally omits the fact that they played and won trophies with us that does. Bozzie seems to be Talksport's man to go to regarding Manchester United, which is a bit bizarre as he lives on the other side of the world.

Jonathan Pearce isn't a Villa fan, but he used to stand on the Holte when he went to university in Birmingham. He often has nice things to say about us.

The sheer mention of that fuck nugget's name boils my piss. I've not heard him on the radio but i was so glad when he left SSN. Atleast you don't see his face. Oh that smug fu....

I knew Simon Brother ton when he was at Birmingham University. He twisted his ankle celebrating on the Holte End when Villa beat Everton 6 - 2 in about 1989.

Your blood would absolutely boil then if you were down here. He's one of the main pundits on the Premier League Live matches on Saturday nights alongside Robbie Slater and the caption always reads - Mark Bosnich, Former Manchester United and Chelsea Goalkeeper. I think he played about 3 games for Chelsea in the League Cup before getting bombed out (he was shacked up with his coke addict girlfriend at the time) and lasted about a season at Old Trafford before the same thing happened when they realised he was overweight and couldn't kick a football straight.
Bosnich was once asked, which of your former clubs do you follow? He replied "Chelsea because I loved my time there and liked the area" I kid you not. I nearly drove to Sydney to punch the fuckers lights out I was so incensed - Chelsea FFS!
-

I actually dealt with Brazil through work a few years ago, He was actually a very nice man
-
Mark Bosnich is an absolute wanker, I met him in Liberties it was my mate's birthday, He was my mates hero, I said to him "It's my mates birthday would you say hello your his hero" He said "no" got in his car and drove off

what a strange thing to say Bosnich........I might be wrong but did the Villa not sign him when Manure bombed him out the first time ? what a prick.

Once introduced on talksport breakfast show as Man United and Chelsea legend Mark Bosnich.

but he did have a sparkling "career" at the small club with a rich owner.
was it him or yorke that dressed up in womens clothing?

I think it was both of them. The girl in question drank in the pub I was managing at the time. The Saturday morning the story was on the front page of The Sun the amount of copies of the paper circulating in the pub was incredible. My wife knew the girl better than I did. She was a real stunner to be fair. She worked in a travel agents in Solihull town centre.
-
I quite like most of the 5 live presenters, a couple get annoying but overall they're fairly decent.

On Wikki it says the BBC didn't renew his contract because of a deep rift between him and Alan Green. He can't be all that bad then can he? Then again ....when two arseholes collide the winner is the biggest one.
I can't quite remember the exact details but I believe it centered around Green not being picked up by Saggers in a taxi after the European Cup Final in Moscow when Newton Heath beat Chelsea. Green was stranded outside the stadium amongst the NH fans, many of which indentified him as the Liverpool fan that he is. You can guess the rest.
I think Green also fell out with Sir Graham at one point, the very mark of an absolute galloping arsehole.

Yes, I remember it...
'Green made an outlandish comment about wanting 'to shoot' those taking part in a Mexican wave in the stadium to which Taylor retorted, understandably: 'Sometimes you do say stupid things.' Afterwards Green admonished Taylor: 'Never, never call me stupid on air again.'

The only thing worth listening to on Talkshite for me is the Warm Up on a Saturday morning with Johnny Vaughan, as it's really old school football chat. They have this feature where they ring up a footballer from times gone by and ask him all sorts of questions about the best player he played with, funniest footballer etc. The player concerned then has to nominate a team mate from times gone by to be on the show the next week. That way, it often stays within the same club for a few weeks in a row. It's often very funny, particularly as those chosen are some of the lesser lights such as Micky Gynn at Coventry etc. Last week it was Graham Stuart and he has nominated none other than Dean Saunders for this coming week, so it may stick with old Villa players for a few weeks!

Not sure it belongs in this thread or indeed anywhere but I saw Gary Newbon Friday in one of my favourite local curry houses .

I like that show, and in particular the not in anyway disguised suggestions that the fat fuck that is Mick Quinn is a serial adulterer.

Not a fan of Vaughan's presenting style, prefer the Danny Baker show on the same time on 5 live.
-
Did Robbie Savage recently say something on R5 that if Spurs won the Premier League, he'd never comment on a match again? Know he's not on Talktripe, but he surely makes the most amateurish presenter look professional.
-
Almost worth having Spurs win the league.
-
Which is more or less what Mark Chapman said.

I was trying to work out when Graham Stuart was a team mate of Dean Saunders. It must have been at Sheffield United.

Not sure it belongs in this thread or indeed anywhere but I saw Gary Newbon Friday in one of my favourite local curry houses .
Where was that? Somebody told me years ago that he lives in St. Bernards Road, Solihull. I was also told at various times by various people that both Tommy Sorensen and Maik Taylor both live in that same road. My wife always reckons she heard somewhere that Linda Lusardi lives on that road too, although I have never believed that one as I don't think she has any Midlands connections.

He used to live in Alderbrook Road just round the corner. He was my mate's neighbour. My mate's dad was a bent gold bullion dealer who did a couple of rather long stretches.
-
best thing about talksport on a saturday morning is Danny Baker on Radio 5
-
Almost worth having Spurs win the league.
We'd have to build an ark to save ourselves from the biblical flood of ejaculate that would flow from fleet street.
-
Gary Newbon lives in St Bernard's Rd and has been spotted in various places in the locale. Sorensen also lived there and was reported to be a regular at the Dovedale chippy in Olton.

Curtis Davies used to live there, too. Or just off it.

A little past his sell by date in my view but used to be excellent, particularly on the original 606.

I believe Sorenson lived in Clairveaux Gardens (a small estate of very large new houses off St. Bernards Road).. Alan Hutton rented a house on Widney Manor Road… not sure if he's still there

I think Hutton is still there, its owned by the family of a friend of my lads.
Its what you would describe as a typical footballers house
Sorenson has/is selling the house in Clairveaux.
Was told Newbon has sold up from St Bernards and moved
My mom used to go to coffee mornings held by Mrs Newbon until she started charging for the coffee and cakes!!!
-
Newbon was a member of Robin Hood GC while I was there although in the 10 odd years I never once saw him. He must have been local but his address was never given in the membership book.
Sorensen was living in a place off St Bernards which was a sub division of 3 houses backing onto the golf course.

Just a reminder that Dean Saunders is on the Warm Up on Talkshite at 11am today!

And he has nominated Alan McInally to be on next week's show. Some nice Villa chat from Deano, particularly about Dalian Atkinson
-
Did Deano play with Rambo?
Or am I havin a senior moment? 😳
-
Johnny Vaughan's mid-Atlantic accent grates, especially when he refers to everyone as "guys".

Senior moment.
-
Rambo left three years before Deano arrived. And although Deano moved around a bit he never played for Ayr, Celtic, Bayern or Scotland.
-
Johnny Vaughan's mid-Atlantic accent grates, especially when he refers to everyone as "guys".
To be honest, he's always seemed to me to be one of these people who purported to like football back in the 90's as it was deemed the "cool" thing to do, but doesn't really have a clue what he's talking about. Adrian Chiles is another example.

He may seem that way but that is totally wide of the mark regarding Vaughan. The complete opposite is true in fact
-
I had the misfortune last week of tuning in whilst Colin Murray was presenting, I almost deliberately crashed the car.
-
I think Vaughn and Murray are currently the best things on that station. I used to like Adrian Durham, but he's saddled with a drivetime show that promotes artificial controversies and features that droning ape, Darren Gough.

Adrian Durham would be ok if he wasn't so obsessed with Arsenal.
-
Durham is very good on the Saturday results show, great knowledge of all the leagues.
-
When Adrian Durham is on with Gough in the afternoon he tries way too hard to be deliberately controversial. It is well over the top. Like the caricature that George Gavin turned into on BRMB in an attempt to be Tony Butler.
-
Alvin Martin always comes over quite well I think, doesn't say the obvious and has some interesting insight at times
Micky Quinn is by far the worst for me as he is so predictable,
I don't actually mind Brazil either, there I've said it

Fair enough Richard and good to hear in a way. I can't stand people in the public eye who feign an interest in football in an attempt to gain credibility. Luckily they can soon be found out when questioned on it.

I quite agree Tom! I don't wish to back Vaughan up as he's a Chelsea fan but he's one of their lot who actually would know the likes of Canonville, Bumpstead, Droy et al. He goes back a long way with them and has lots of stories that can only have come from genuinely following them home and away

Quinn is thick as pig shit. But Goughy is even thicker.
Durham fine on Saturday. Can't bring myself to listen to Brazil.
-
I did tune in on the way to work this morning. I am not over the moon about Keys and Gray but the difference between Richard Keys, an experienced journalist, and Quinn, Gough and Brazil etc.. is immeasurable.

Putting their previous indiscretions aside, Keys and Gray are probably two of the best broadcasters out there. Their show this morning was leagues ahead of the usual pub chat provided by the likes of Brazil, Quinn and Gough.
-
Yes, I heard it as well.
I'm not as anti the sound of Brazil growling at the dawn as some people on here, but it sounded like a well put together and very well presented show on my way to work, this morning.

Just a reminder that Super Alan McInally is on The Warm Up show on Talkshite with Johnny Vaughan at 11 today!

The day has arrived....
17 Sep 16:00 Drivetime
Adrian Durham and Piers Morgan keep you entertained on the way home.
