I enjoyed him ripping the piss out of Ross on a Friday night, who was making the sort of outlandish claims about what Small Heath were going to do that almost seems to define every 'nose I've ever met.

"The coconut king of fantasy island!"

When we met him in the eighties I seem to recall he was very tanned and wearing three quarter length tracksuit bottoms. Either that or they were rolled up. He was very friendly but looked like a twat.

I could never understand why anyone took George Gavin seriously. He was a clown who would come out with ever-more hysteria and hyperbole, his shock jockism was so clearly faked as to be embarrassing and above all he was a coward who could dish it out but was totally unable to take even the mildest criticism. That he's been doing the Sky Sports graveyard shift for twenty years sums him up.

I quite enjoyed your dissection of his criticism of H & V in one of the early editions. So whilst he stuck up for the Villa he was indeed the paupers Tony Butler of local radio.

He would often devote large chunks of his programme to slagging us, although never saying why. He went through one issue page by page, but missing out the page where he was criticised. I don't think he ever understood what good advertising it was.


I might be wrong but doesn't Gavin's antipathy towards H&V stem from asking for and being refused a free copy when it was 50p?

No; I'd never met him before he started his diatribes.

The tan comes from going on holiday with T****r F*****s. All that queuing up in the sun to buy his hero another lager or a Solero.

I am sure I read somewhere that Gavin was a boyhood Everton fan with a soft spot for Newcastle and Villa due to starting his media career in the North East and then moving to the Midlands.

Not saying they are desperate for themes to the show but tonight they are asking supporters 'what is your pre match meal?'  Last night it was 'do you have any club souvenirs on display in your car?'

That's not far off Partridge's 'who is the best Lord?' question.

They're currently running commentary of Brown Ideye's goals with The Strangler's 'Golden Brown' playing in the background. It's cracking stuff this.

"Never a frown with golden". Bollocks, we've run out of material.

I'd have thought "Peaches" would have been more appropriate for that bunch of tits.

Listening back to Phone-In tonight

Villa fan Ron called in saying he went on Tuesday because of the cheap tickets, first he mentions Bacuna doing well in the 1st because he kept getting down the Albion wing, then he was banging on about how bad Kevin Richardson was. ::)

I caught the last phone call after the match on Tuesday night when a caller claimed WM were anti Villa and that it was like listening to a London station and not our local one. Before he could finish his sentence the presenter cut him off and made some sarcastic remark.

Yeah,  I  heard that guy as well. Wankers cut him off because he spoke the truth.

On last weeks show wanksies actually stood up for Villa as the Biggest club in the midlands, some sorry ass olbiyon fan who appeared to know fuck all about his own club apart from, "all villa fans are arrogant"

no slight on any decent Albion fans, as I know there are a few.

He couldn't have been more appalled if the guy had called his mother a lady of the night.

There was a caller on Talksport later on who dived into a big long rant before his question which sounded like it was going to be something really apposite and cutting, only to say something about "why do the Villa always pass it backwards?". It's fair to say it flummoxed whoever was presenting.
