The only thing decent that comes out of TalkSport is Hawksbee & Jacobs' Clips of the Week, which is genuinely funny. Mainly because you get to laugh at how shit all the presenters are at their jobs.

Oh and it's available as a podcast so you never actually have to tune in to TalkSport!

Jim White is terrible on the radio. He constantly speaks as if he is giving you breaking news.

"Now i'm just hearing that we have heard from an inside source who is always extremely reliable. They've just text me directly. We have a very special opportunity to speak with one of the game's greats. And after the break I can reveal exclusively on Talk Sport that we will be joined by none other than the one, the only, Tony Cascarino".

Does my nut it.

Every few months there's a thread on who we hate the most and one about talksport and how they make their money.

Had to laugh as I was just listening to a Jim White trailer on TalkSport and he really does sound like it's breaking news when he talks.

You could put a six year old on talksport and he'd be annoying, its what they do, 99% of the guff they come out with doesn't actually represent their true opinions............. Its a calculated thing, a great big game. Why does this still surprise/annoy people?

Agree. If all the presenters where dour, offering mundane opinions, this thread would not even be here. It is all about stirring emotions, riling people so they phone in to vent there anger and/or opinion.

Not all of em. Hawksbee and Jacobs have good clean banter. Danny Kelly is decent, so was The Irish fella.

I still listen to this show in the car, every day.

Find it quite amusing personally.

Anyone hear Howard Webb on the breakfast show admit the worst decision he ever made was the penalty against Gomes when we were 2 up at old Trafford

Jim White is an awful human. He just gave some ‘breaking news’ on talksport which genuinely wasn’t new news at all and then spoke about how Newcastle’s potential buyers ‘salute’ the fans. What does that even mean? Then I hear him discussing business with Perry Groves with Groves giving Mike Ashley advice on how to get more money for the club.

Jim White shouldn’t be anywhere near media.

Did you listen to that cringe fest of him completely overdoing the LGBT Rainbow Laces thing as well? If I was gay i'd have slapped him in the face, he's a non stop torrent of trying too hard.

Thankfully I missed that. He’s bad enough on the tv, particularly transfer deadline day when he tries to make things seem exciting by raising his voice and getting phone calls from his mate and pretending they’re from agents. But he’s taken radio to a new level of ****iness.

‘BIG BREAKING NEWS FOR NEWCASTLE FANS...... I’m hearing.... Ashley is STILL a willing seller and PCP are STILL a willing buyer. PCP are fans of Ashley’s business acumen and they salute the fans’

He makes shit up. And not only that, his content is boring and shit. Yesterday he went on and on about how Utd should’ve beaten Basel and this changes everything for Mourinho. Genuine sensationalistic bullshit. All the guests were like ‘yeah, we know, but they’re still topping the group unless they lose by 6 at home to CSKA and his reply would be ‘but Utd should’ve beaten CSKA, I have no doubt in my mind that should’ve happened’. Guests: Yes Jim, we know’.

I think they sense themselves that he’s a ****, even though they’re bordering on ****iness themselves sometimes. Bob Mills is the only decent one on that show. I can stomach Parlour and Groves, Cascarino says stupid stuff on purpose like White.

Used to love listening to Colin Murray in the same slot. Engaging, entertaining and got all the guests involved. He would also challenge interviewees and voice an opinion.

Jim White has ruined that slot. I dont listen at all when he is on. Absolute retard. No opinion, not informed and totally dull. I agree with you that even the guests think he is a numpty. Just cones across as a bit false.

Mentioned in the other thread but Joey Barton said to Adrian Durham live on air that Jim White has more sides than a dodecahedron. Cracking stuff.

Colin Murray's show was brilliant, i was driving a van all day for a year and listened to it every single day. Him, Didi, Bob Mills, Buncey - he had such great chemistry with all his guest presenters and he got some real exclusive interviews as well.

Big shame the day he quit but I can't fault him for it at all; his morals were worth more than the paycheck and that's admirable, but i really miss singing along to Words :whistle:
