Adrian Durham - Talk Sport

[stokesy]

Might have to agree to disagree, it's very hard to measure but I cannot believe constant belittling helps us grow our support.

Who gives a fuck if people choose not to support us based on the ramblings of that twat, that's fine by me. I'd rather have 1000 quality fans than 10,000 morons

We already get at least that many at the Lane, they're either silent or come out with pearls of wisdom like

OI DEFOE JUST FAAACKING SCORE YOU MUG!

It's not the support, it's the income from merchandise but I take your point.

 

[guiltyparty]

Agree in terms of going to the games and being ST holders but the merchandising market is massive. It isn't just Talksport but it's the general media disrespect for us that I'm referring to.

The agendas are different in each case tho. Hard to bundle them together. Sky have their teams they like to big up, BBC tends to be down to the individuals' own bias, Talksport is a 'slag everyone off and see who bites' script

As a whole, I really don't think we are that disrespected. We get some lovely flowery stuff too, at different times in the season. We're just an easy target as we were once one of the huge clubs, but anyone with a brain can see why we are where we are. Arsenal have been in CL 15 times more than us, and make two and a half times our revenue.

Despite this, Arsenal have been slagged off all year too, as have City, as have Chelsea. Even Man U have had the 'this is the worst Utd team in years' stuff for, well, years.

The difference being Chelsea & Man U won something and Arsenal got CL, so those stories have an easily interpreted 'happy ending'. Also hence the massively OTT reactions to 'just' finishing 4th or 'just' winning the Europa - both clubs see it as a fuck you to the media. Just look at the forums, both sets of fans sound like Liverpool fans, they feel as pissed off as us at the media and think we're everyone's favorites

The media is very shallow. They want a story for today, not tomorrow, someone else will have to write that. Right now we've "failed", but we can see the long term picture; most don't care about that

Just ignore them, we're doing things the right way and the rest is just banter frankly

 

[Kinger]

The guy is a **** of the highest order. Seriously, the swear filter should be turned off just for him. In fact, can we not change it so it comes up with his name instead?

He's just an absolute Durham

 

[Jamturk]

I take it as a compliment, when we are not talked about, is the time to worry.

 

[Gb160]

Winner. My first thought on seeing this thread title in Spurs Chat was, "Do we really have fans who are daft enough to listen to TalkSport, let alone be wound up by it?"

So were you born with this inbuilt knowledge that talksport is shite? If not how did you gather this knowledge?
I'm guessing by being daft enough to listen to it.

Listening once is curiosity. Twice is self-flagellation. Thrice is insanity

 

[max cady]

He's an arse fan so that really sums him up. he behaves like he does on talkshite because he is given the ammunition by the divvy fans who call in and lower themselves into actually engaging in a conversation with him

 

[MilkyBarYid]

LOL, that ginger **** on talkShite must be really bored they are talking about the Napoli approach for AVB.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Reading Durham's Twitter today, I believe he is really annoyed why AVB the rubbish manager can get Napoli's approach
What an entertainment

 

[tototoner]

I really hope that Tottenham fan John who just called in to say we should let Villas-Boas go and hire Benitez was on the wind up, but he sounded serious

Every village has its idiots...

Either one of Durhams mates or a Gooner, Chav, Hammers fan I would say.

LOL, another caller has just said he doesn't care if AVB goes and wants Jurgen Klinsmann. Must be gooners on the windup.

 

[Wirral Spurs]

I have learnt my lesson and just switched over. He really is obsessed with Andre, every bloody day. I cannot understand why people want to listen to the same subject over and over.

 

[hugrr]

I listened to the start of his show for about 10 minutes earlier before I had to turn it off.

Apparently I can't handle the truth!

Drop the possibly, and you're on the right track.

What did we ever do to Jiggins/Durham? Is Spurs the equivalent of Kryptonite to sad fat idiots??

 

[eViL]

I enjoy listening to Talksport.

Then again, I don't take it at all seriously to be honest.

 

[branchie]

He's an arse fan so that really sums him up

Peterborough fan I thought?

 

[GlennHuddlestone]

correct. He hates Arsenal
