Why do you lot even listen to that shite? Reading the last few pages it seems like you all hate it anyway?

I don't mind it. It's only the 16:00-19:00 slot that causes reactions. The rest is pretty inoffensive.

...or the one their Dad/grandad supports.
I fully get that, he went to say the same i think.

Couple of months ago i was out for a few drinks with some friends, and one them (female) was bringing her new boyfriend out to meet us for the first time...he seemed ok at first but when the conversation turned to football i asked who he supported and he replied 'Barcelona'...id had a few beers and it took every ounce of my self control not to slap him firmly in the face.
Seriously, an English fella, lived here since birth, and he supports fucking Barcelona...****
I told her he's a wrongun and to get rid.

it's only the adverts and Jim White that I don't really like. I only listen to it in the car so when the adverts come on I switch to my music... that and when Jim White says 'Coming up we'll be talking to a very good friend of mine...' Having said that I like Fridays when Bob Mills is on.

Hawksbee and Jacobs are quite enjoyable listening - they made me chuckle the other week saying if Everton do sign Siggurdson the players will need to be extra careful when shouting 'Gilf' when Waynes around...

Max Rushden and Barry Glendenning are doing the after lunch slot this week and I quite like them two as well.

I know we moan but it's not that bad really (apart from the the adverts and Jim White!)

Exactly, i find the trick is to turn it off whenever the subject is Spurs, their MO is to wind people up so they're rarely saying anything positive about any club.

Mike Parry just now said Tottenham should sell Harry Kane to Man Utd for £110 M to help finance the new stadium

The only club they dont swing for is Man U imo.
I think they'd be over the moon if Alli and Kane left Spurs, Coutinho left Liverpool, Sanchez left Arsenal, Hazard and Costa left Chelsea, Aguero left Man City, so Man U can win the league by a country mile. And hopefully all those players will sign for Man U along with Bale and Ronaldo of course.
Really has been an utter embarrassing shower of shit of a station the last several months.
I've only just started listening again after end of last season but with the window still open its still a painful listen.
And the number of adverts... jeez.
Talk crap.

I like H&J too and obviously it helps that Paul Hawkesbee is a Spurs fan; Drivetime is tabloidy and Durham seems to do the obvious things to garner a reaction so they can get as many people to tweet, text and phone in as possible. I find Jim White quite irritating because it always feels like he is hosting Sky Sports deadline day. The two Mikes are quite funny although Parry was quite embarrassing yesterday in (predictably) defending Rooney.

I love that man.

A friend of mine met him in a wine bar just off chancery lane a few years back. He reckons they started talking about football and both ended up absolutely legless. Man is a legend.

Apparently he is actually very knowledgeable about football in general and was not as much of a clown in life as he is on radio.

I can believe that.

I wont listen to it when Goughie is on. Bloke does my head in.
I'm amazed he's lasted so long on there, they used to refresh Durhams sidekick every year or so but he's been on there for fucking donkeys now.
He seems like a nice enough bloke but he's not really got much of a clue wrt football, which is what they discuss 90% of the time.

He's really not very nice at all from what I hear.

He's quite the bully.
