On Alan Brazil's breakfast show this morning, Ray "Butch" Wilkins was the pundit as they discussed this evening's Man Utd v Sevilla match.

He has such a condescending manner IMO. He always sounds like what he is about to say is so important.

Saying that, another extremely irritating guest host is Micky 'I love Liverpool and I am going to make my bias plain for all to hear' Quinn.

It’s Spurs time again. AVB has told Kane to quit Spurs. Wonder if he told Bale the same?

Bob mills read a tweet out of someone saying that’s the equivalent of a Geordie shore star advising Gary Oldman to give up movies to further his career :ROFLMAO:

Durham winding up Simon Jordan has been a joy to listen to. Pair of wankers in a wanker-off, and Jordan's trying so hard to be "the bigger man" but Durham is relentless :D

Was so incensed by VAR in tonight’s game that I’m listening to Talksport. Rochdale fan just rang up to complain that the game should have been called off at half-time!

For once I’m on Cundy’s side, as he’s basically calling the bloke an imbecile live on air!

Him and Darren Lewis tearing into VAR is a decent listen actually.

Cundy is actually quite good. Both of them crack me up on that show.

No doubt that Talksport has gone a bit in the last two years. That was when the owners of the Sun took over. Colin Murray resigned in protest. Some of the programmes seem to have been dumbed down. Jim White is terribly patronising at all times and I’ve just about had enough of him. Bob Mills is ok but every day? Some of the people on it are very uninformed. No surprise there if they are ex pros. Only Cascarino Danny Murphyand Cundy seem to have any knowledge. They have now given Goldstein a show on Sunday ..he is far too juvenile for that. I’m fed up of hearing that Newport and now Rochdale are going to make a million from a replay. Best of luck with max of 40k paying 10 and five pounds. 200k max for Rochdale I would think. I mainly listen to H and J, Danny Kelly and sometimes Durham. I see the press pass has gone to talksport two. Much prefer the journalists as they do have some knowledge ...far in excess of the likes of dean Saunders and parlour. Collymore was ok but obviously too much of a nutcase so they got rid.

IMO Talksport started slowly going down the pan the moment it became known as Talksport.

A lot of people will know and some will not that it used to be called Talkradio, with only a sports section. I even remember tuning into the first broadcast from my Uni halls of residence in 1994. It was a great station with, amongst others, Caesar the Geezer, James Whale, Tommy Boyd, Ian Collins etc.

As soon as it became Talksport it started complete over exposure of the subject matter (like SSN) and just slowly became like the Sun on radio, with a load of added shouting. Apart from in the car on the way to and from football I just stopped listening to it. Even that short time sometimes is enough to make me want to turn it off.

Collymore talked some sense, but wasn't a good presenter as he just liked the sound of his own voice and talked over everyone, reducing callers to just stooges for his opinions in that annoying shouting brummy accent.

The fact you mention Cundy and Cascarino as bastions of knowledge on there says it all as they are bellends. Particularly Cascarino.

I remember Cesar the Geezer, and Eric 'Monster Monster' Hall, used to do the 10-1 slot every night.

Tbf there were some twats on it even back then...Terry Christian for one, I can't stand him.

Yeah true. I’d forgotten he was on it. Agree, he’s a twat.
