It’s beyond me why people bother
For a Spurs fan to listen to talksport...
Its beyond me how many times people feel they need to post this in this thread.
What else am I going to listen to whilst at work? Radio 2?
When they're winding up other fans its great, when they're winding up Spurs fans I chuckle at the dim ones who've rang in.
You're probably easily triggered by their trolling mate.

If we'd beaten Napoli and City had beaten Real Madrid, and Spurs fans were saying that our result was better, they'd be rightfully mocked....because it's complete and utter nonsense.
They're just chumming the waters to get the dimmer Spurs fans to call in, nothing more.

Spot on, even their news reports were calling our result the stand out result, it was just about getting people to bite

It drives me nuts listening to Talksport some evenings, especially the Sports Bar - i generally like Goldstein & ol' moon face, but it's the callers. So much mouth breathing going on, arguing with him last night because he mentioned that Madrid were missing three of their back four - so many offended Spurs fans saying he was trying to devalue our win, he continually saying that he wasn't, it was a fantastic achievement, BUT the fact stood they were three defenders light etc.

Not one had the brains to ring up and agree and discuss the fact that Madrid's squad is lacking depth but disguise it by having an absolutely stellar starting eleven. That would've been a great discussion, comparing their squad from a few years back when they had three mega stars for every position, but no - just a torrent of bottom rung fans griping at Goldstein slagging us off.

The guy's a United fan and was praising Citeh's result (and rightly so - Napoli are on fire right now), why would he feel the need to take a dig at Spurs, and why do fans ring up to argue against flat out facts? Think a moment, THEN pick up the phone, don't just rage and ring in, it reflects badly on all of us.

Some Spurs fan rang this morning to point out that Napoli had played most of their games against the bottom 5 of Serie A. Instead of saying 'oh, I'm actually learning something here' Micky Quinn just kept to the script. Clearly taking calls is just for the money as there's no room for any sort of conversation.

Same rubbish this morning, Citeh’s result was better than Spurs bla, bla, bla.
Who cares? We’ve just beaten the European Champions and qualified for the last sixteen when most people gave us no chance of making it out of the group.

I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could seriously believe that beating Napoli is a bigger result than beating Real Madrid. Napoli look very dangerous this year and a certainly no mugs, but Real Madrid are probably the best team in the world and have won 3 of the last 4 CLs. Just absolute nonsense as usual from Talkshite.

Oh yeah, they won't change the narrative once it's set.

They follow a very clear narrative most of the time, you either play along with it, you're a dimwit that's easily shot down, or you don't get on air.
It's pretty clear to see.

I must admit that I do enjoy listening to H&J and the 2 Mikes.

They're great, no shame in admitting that, although the Two Mikes are an aquitred taste, H&J are pretty universally liked.
Pretty sure H&J is the only show on there where they don't have phone ins like the other shows do...it's all guests and their own material.

I don't dislike Jim White either, he's pretty inoffensive.

I won't give you a disagree rating, but I disagree with every fibre of my being.
He actually has some pretty good co-hosts who I quite like, Danny Murphy, Bob Mills is funny, Micky Gray, Luke Moore, even, and I'll whisper this, Perry Groves, are all pretty good...they make his show listenable, if it was just Jim White i'd rather listen to white noise in all honesty.

Perry Groves is from that breed of players who was a genuine fan of the club that he played for and achieved his dream.
