Radio WM

[LTA]

I heard a bit driving down from The North the other day.
Listened to about 30 seconds worth and changed to TalkSport. Far more entertaining, and that's the problem, really.

WM can be entertaining in the sense of tuning in to listen to some of the comedians that call up.  I'm lead to believe their listening figures are miles behind Tom Ross.  At least with him you know where you stand - you know he's a blues fan, but last he's honest/brave enough to admit it while backing all the other local sides too.  I think the only one at WM to admit to who he supports is Daz Hale - in fact always seemed to shoehorn Wolves into any topic.

Dear Auntie Agatha,
My sister texts me almost every game saying she will listen in on WM...
I've always worried about her doing this but she seems fine with it.
Advice please...

I listened to it on the way home I think it was yesterday.  They had the West Midland legend Martin O'Connor on.  I presume they weren't paying him by the word, given that he spent the entire time either saying yeh, no, or fcuk all.

And it is true, they have about ten callers that rotate each night.  Literally that is all that ring in.  The same ten.  And Sneekes voice gets on my tayters, patronising prick.

Having a quick listen before i leave for the game. Apparently if Albion win today they can leapfrog Villa. They could have said they can go 4th but there you go.

We'll see how good the stripey divs are after they've played four title challengers in a row.

He's not the most vocally gifted but I will defend him purely on the grounds of being one of my favourite Bromsgrove Rovers players :-) before he got his pro break at Palace

Chris Hanks and The Big Mal were my faves. How many star players build part of the home ground like Hanksy did? I only recently found out that Dunkley had died in 2005. Was gutted.

Didn't know that, shocking, quality player too.

Great team, Richardson, Webb & Burgher were my faves...the days of goals, goals, goals.

[PeterWithesShin]

Yep, heart attack at 44.

[Clampy]

Did anyone hear the Irish bloke who rang up earlier in support of the 39th game?  He reckoned that the Stripeyfilth and Leicester would fill out an 85k Croke Park.

All i was waiting for was 'There's more to oireland than dis'.

Only just seen this.  I'm sorry to hear about Mal Dunkley's passing.  I refereed him on several occasions for different teams.  May he rest in peace.

This villa fan 'Si' on the phone in talks complete shite. He bases all of his opinions from listening to us on the radio.

[peter w]

To be fair over the last 3 years I've based my opinion on the Villa largely on the media. I then went to a game or two when back home to find that it was exactly as I'd seen/read/heard.

[Richard E]

Off at a tangent slightly, does anyone else think that BBC Midlands Today seems to be biased towards/much more interested in Stoke than in any other local club?
