Danny Baker returns to 606 (again!)

[Withdean Wanderer]

When they sacked DB from 606 (the excuse used was that he read out a referee's address, I think) was the only time in my life I've been enough of a saddo to write to the BBC to complain. If only Points of View had still been on air, they'd have surely been overloaded with support for Baker.

The man's a broadcasting genius.

Not sure which show this got him sacked from...

Remember that weel. It was a Tuesday night show on Radio 5 after Erland Jonson dived to get Chelsea a dodgy pen in the last minute against Leicester.

Baker's return can only be good news for 6-0-6 | Sport | guardian.co.uk

superb news - now just need to get rid of Alan 'I only watch the top 4' Green, Tim Lovecock & DJ Spoonfed and it might actually be worth listening to again...

Its great news that The Danmeister is back !

I agree with the sentiments expressed above, when Mellor took over it hit rock bottom.
"I was down at the Bridge saturday" Mellor dragged us down to "debates" over restricted view seats, The cusp between child ticket and adult pricing and stewards not throwing out naughty fans who shout loudly because something has happened in the game......... inane soul destroyingly boring trash.

This after The Danster had floated such topics as " Most unusual thing thrown on to a football pitch ? ( a dud Handgrenade), whats the wierdest thing you have been hit by at a football match ( a phsycology textbook) and things you have had confiscated when entering a ground ( a boxed, unused breast pump)

All hail to the King..... .. thank god you're back .. we have been waiting !

Thank the lord, a bit of originality returning. Tramps seen at football grounds was a classic Baker I remember.

All football phone ins are now pitiful to listen to. ‘’Well, Spoony, the ref had a shocker and I’m not sure that playing Rooney in the lone striker role works. Perhaps playing the big man Crouch alongside him for a bit of support’’ As if Capello has never thought of this and is sitting on the team bus home nodding away. Its all formulaic shite that needs revamping

Damn straight.

Phone-ins nowadays are just stuffed to the rafters with Alan Hansen wannabee's just ITCHING to display their supposed "tactical nouse" to the nation, despite their expertise actually being based on little more than a blurred view of a pub plasma during an eight-pint session of Beater whilst talking shit with a load of plastics, chatting to the barmaid, playing the fruity and nipping out for a fag every 15 minutes. "Durrr yeah vat idiot Grant why don't ee' put Joe Cole in the 'ole and stick Ballack wiv Lampard 'olding and ven Drogba gets some space and that".

:

Thank christ for Baker.

In fairness to the plastics, you've just summed up my Wednesday night to perfection minus the game of pool which will start 5 minutes before the end of the game when we are all bored shitless with the game and have long since resorted to 'Have you seen the tits on that'

Mine too (minus the fags).
But I'd venture that neither of us then feel compelled to pollute the airwaves with our half-arsed theories and opinions on where so-and-so got his tactics and selections all wrong and THIS is what he should have done, etc.

We've got NSC for that

I was so upset after Danny Baker was replaced by Mellor that soon afterwards I saw Mellor walking away from a match at Loftus Road and was compelled to shout "Oi Mellor - You Fat Git". Not the most eloquent, but the sentiment was right. He looked quite shocked.

Wanker.

My brother managed to SPOIL the video of my wedding speeches. He is CLEARLY heard shouting in a stupid David Mellor voice "HELLO SIM! YOU'RE A BRIGHTON FAN. WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?".

And his voice is all too convincing, sadly.

f***ing Mellor. Utter bore and complete f***ing wanker.

Can I just say that him and Kelly's Saturday mid morning show on R5 was required listing on the drive to watch us be woeful at Priestfield......
