Adrian Durham - Talk Sport

[stevenurse]

Nearly as bad as the Strachan clip suggesting abusing Adam Johnson is the same as abusing Black players. Wow

 

[Gb160]

Jesus what a moron, embarrassing that he's a Spurs fan as well.

Clinton has been on the radio quite a bit recently and comes across really well, speaks a lot of sense, and a Yid as well I think.

Dave deffo tells people to sit down in the South Stand.

Dave deffo tells people to sit down in the South Stand.

And tells people to shush in paxton

Like so many media clips there exists edits that uphold the hegemony of said radio station etc. The fella ringing in sounds relatively reasonable...it’s the prepared perspective of the presenter that sets the agenda. My onions

I was rolling up listening to that last night. The last few have been a bit cringey, waking up parents who were clearly in on it, but that was a masterpiece.

Does no-one else find it a bit cheap that they only have him on for a race discussion? Like, lets find a black guy to get on the show, that makes sense! How about just book the guy because he talks sense and does it without the pomp of a lot of the ex-pros on the station carry around.

By booking him based on the colour of his skin they are just low-level encouraging the divisive way that far too many fans think and act, imo. If society really valued everyone equally the discussion could've taken place among regular presenters or guests, but they had to go out of their way to book a black guy to get his opinion.

Felt very cringey when Jim White was quizzing him but, like every topic Jim White tackles, it sounded like it was the first time he had heard this was happening, perhaps even the first time he'd had a discussion with a black fella.

Rather strangely, out of all the presenters and guests they currently have on the station who i'd trust to tackle the issue in a show with some real genuine worth would actually be Durham and Simon Jordan. Durham can bait like a champion but underneath that he is a very shrewd host, gives his guests time to speak and is willing to play devils advocate for the sake of moving the discussion on and, while it pains me deeply to say it, i really, really rate Simon Jordan as a radio guest. I might not agree with everything he says but I do surprisingly often and think that he tackles topics with an opinion that he's prepared to defend with actual facts and common sense. Great to listen to him sometimes.

We have a lot of thick fucking fans, thankfully it was on Jim White so nobody was listening

Can't say I've ever disagreed with anything Jordan has said. I think he's fantastic, always try and listen in when he's on.

Ask yourself who owns Talksport..... ask yourself then who owns skysports.... ask yourself then who owns Sky and pretty much every media outlet in the World. It is all a puppet show anyway and they reel everyone in with bait and everyone takes it. No matter what show it is, people still listen or watch.

The World will be a better place when the Murdoch's are not around

Haven’t Comcast pretty much bought sky nowadays?

Just watched that on Twitter this morning : There's PC and trying to be PC. It made Gordon look and sound really idiotic.

 

[razzmaster]

Has Durham changed his tune?

https://talksport.com/football/5231...enham-new-stadium-adrian-durham-arsenal-fans/

He was bigging up Jimmy Greaves for honours this afternoon, AND backing Danny Rose all the way with the racist chanting issue.

Durham plays it safe with his trolling. Winding fans up about their clubs is the easy option. If he trolled where racism or footballing legends such as Greaves are concerned he would find everyone was against him not just a small section of supporters from one team.

None of what he says is his genuine opinion but he isn't brave enough to upset the masses so is never truly controversial.

It's a shame as he is a very good broadcaster but on Drive he has become a puppet and Gough has always been a muppet

Durham is a pretty liberal minded guy and wouldn't put himself on the wrong side of an argument about racism.
All the spurs-baiting/ arsenal-baiting is just bants really and I find it quite amusing occasionally. Don't know why people on here get so wound up about him.
Darren Gough is an idiot though.

I don't think Darren Gough is that bad to be honest. He is much better than his predecessor Ronnie Irani.

It's just that his Barnsley accent makes him sound stupid but he seems to have good understanding of most sports.

 

[riggi]

Wright and Durham were a decent mix.

 

[felmani26]

Simon Jordon is fantastic on Talksport who quite clearly doesn't sit on the proverbial fence with his forthright views but always back these up as opposed to the likes of Dean fucking Saunders who still believes he was a successful manager who regularly provide us listeners with his 'pearls of wisdom'.

Always adds value to whatever conversation he's taking part in and provides great insight into the role of a football club owner.

Anyone else finding Ally McCoist way more enjoyable than Brazil?
He doesnt goad fans, focus on negatives all the time like Brazil. It isnt all dark.
The worlds a brighter place with Ally.This probably belongs in Talksport thread so I'll post over there.

I pretty much agree. I stopped buying the Sun Times when it became another mouthpiece for him & I gave a jump of joy when he lost out in his attempt to taking complete control of Sky.

People get so wound up when it's suggested the EU dictate to us, but what winds me up is an Aussie having so much say in what goes on in this country.
