Ray Wilkins on TalkShite this morning.

[MattBackHome]

Bob Mills (who I actually don’t mind) talks as though he’s been placed under general anaesthetic and is fighting to stay conscious. It’s as though he doesn’t have full control of his mouth.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Ah thats a fair point - I was thinking more of the dulcet tones of Ken the Bruce

Rob Brydon has Ken Bruce off to a T in The Trip/The Trip to Italy/The Trip to Spain with Steve Coogan. The most recent series, where they do Mick Jagger performing Shakespeare made me almost have an accident en route to Norwich.

Leaving work this morning I tuned into TalkShite, started listening to a very cringe worthy moment where RW was talking to a Sun journo on the Rashford free kick last night v Celtic Vigo.
Basically accusing the journo of having no knowledge of football
The journo replied in saying "how dare you and who are you to say these things".
It culminated in RW issuing an apology several times, and that it was him apologising, and not for TalkShite.
Did anyone here this comedy moment.
It's not that often you hear someone digging a hole live on radio

TalkSport is what it is. Personally I absolutely hate it. The presenters are largely attention-seeking cocks, and the adverts would make me want to drink bleach.

Some people obviously enjoy it, so good luck to them.

What I don't understand (nothing personal) is why you /others would CHOOSE to listen to it, then refer to it as 'TalkShite' and come on here moaning about it

Cringeworthy but extremely funny. If Ray wasn't pissed up at the time then I can guarentee he'll be plastered now.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Not sticking up for Wilkins, who i can't stand, but Neil Custis seems a right baby....

I think Van Gaal called him a fat boy, or something similar, last year at a press conference and he went on & on & on about it at every opportunity arghhhh

 

[Dan Gleeballs]

I find if I do a bit of Talksport, followed by some LBC, then I am ready to rip somebody's head off by lunchtime. Radio 2 is much more soothing.

I put myself through a morning off talkshite and LBC yesterday and have to concur with your thesis. Although I find 6 music is a better remedy

To be fair, when you listen to the balls the journos come out with every Sunday on that show on Sky, it does make you wonder. You don't notice it too much when they're talking about the bigger clubs or the ones they know particularly well, but as soon as they dip outside of that (for instance, the Championship), it's largely bullshit and clear they're just talking off the top of their heads. Which makes me then question how much of what they say so confidently about the Premier League is also winging it. Obviously, they're generally more knowledgeable and well-informed than the average fan - but maybe not as much as they make out.

That depends what the discussion is actually about. Of course they KNOW more than your average fan - they spend their working lives around clubs / press conferences / watching games, etc. BUT - most football chat is simply a matter of opinion, anyway - 'is that player better than this player' for example.

The breakfast show is so bad, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the worst when its him and Quinn.

Only time it's worth turning on is when it's a replacement host.

I'm still slightly curious as to how you can save a ball with your teeth.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Open and shut case. Wilkins says Custis has no football knowledge. Custis asks player with 84 caps for England who he is.

Just ask a member of the gay community.

Add in the fact that the fat boy wanker works for the Sun.

Ray was probably drunk again, but Custis is Pal**e, so he's fair game.

my defence is that when i'm driving to work at 5.30am the alternative is Vanessa Feltz.

I still try to listen to TalkSport but it is becoming a harder and harder listen because of things like this. They only put Wilkins on for this sort of thing, he makes a fool out of himself every time. He has been clearly drunk on air a number of times, I actually think it's cruel that they keep doing this to him, the man is ill.

Brazil is also an absolute CJTC, a dinosaur, a nasty piece of work and should be taken off the air. Thank god for H and J and Danny Kelly, the only presenters that can add respectability to the station (along with some good news reporters and producers who have very good taste in football clubs!).

Exactly - especially when Tom Latchem is on - or his brother Chris on Radio 5 Live for that matter ;-)

Heard the argument, definitely sounded like RW had got a 'loosener' down him, very forthright.

 

[Megazone]

I'm team Wilkins. The keeper should've saved the free kick.

The journo probably hasn't played much football in his life for him to think that is nonsense.

Eh? He's blatantly a Newcastle supporter I think your mixing up your journal's.

I also think the GK should have saved the free kick.

This is exactly what I thought after watching on a dodgy stream, the keeper had no trust in his wall and moved along the goal line in the split second prior to the kick being taken, had he stayed where he was and leapt to save the strike in the same way he did from the position he moved to he would have easily reached the ball. Bad goal keeping and RW was absolutely right in his opinion and the Sun journalist was, well a Sun journalist!

 

[Napper]

that clip is a joke.

That journalist needs to sort himself out, what an absolute melt
