This new guy really is rubbish. For some reason last night they played a Shania Twain record about 15 minutes in, never known that on the footy phone in before.

It's days are numbered and the writing has been on the wall for some time now. Like a lot of the content on 5Live, 606 is a struggle and now rendered unlistenable with Savage and Sutton paired up. So much football coverage on radio and TV has been "bantered" into submission, from the tiresome "he's hit the beans on toast" and "it's a desmond" schtick on Soccer Saturday to the idea that ex-professionals arguing the toss using severely limited vocabulary and knowledge is in some way illuminating or entertaining.It takes the viewers and listeners for idiots and is patronising in the extreme.
Since I moved to near Cheltenham I gave up listening as the reception was poor and I used to listen to it in the car on the drive home. I must admit my secret shame was that I didn’t mind the whole ‘Franksy/ Rego‘ thing ( who after all are old pro journo types) and used to quite enjoy laughing at the moronic Eddie and bitter old Polly. But I’ve just listened on BBC Sounds ( don’t get me started on that) to 5 minutes of the new ‘Yoof’ YTS presenter and my bladder has steam escaping from it. Sub radio 1 drivel typical of the new down with da kids dumbing down of everything good about the Beeb. They have done the same on national radio, by ruining virtually every Comedy programme I liked on Radio 4 such as the Now Show , the News Quiz etc by sacking the very talented established people on there and replacing them with totally unfunny Right On ‘comedians’ who just aren’t funny. At least Regan and co were vaguely professional, this kid is a complete amateur.
I miss SKY's Sunday Supplement.
It is 'Rego'and Garry.
