Talksport

[Modo]

I just discovered this radio station, probably because it just popped up on my youtube recommendations.
So I've been listening to it at times during a few weeks and seen some old clips as well.

My question is, why is Simon Jordan so hated?
I mean sure, he seems a bit full of himself when he talks, but he's one of the few "pundits" who isn't afraid to call out the likes of Lampard and Maguire for underachieving and I sort of agree with much of what he's saying.

He's marmite mate. Either love him or hate him. Some of the stuff he says is very insightful as he's been there and done it as an a chairman and ex owner of Palace. I don't mind him so much as he usually no always gives shit to City

Fucking hate talksport. A lot of the pundits are there solely to provoke debate, by having a stupid opinion and getting stupider people to ring up. Every now and then they make points you can agree with, but those opinions are just to rattle someone cage. Praise us to the hilt and say we're one of the best teams to play in the PL; provoke city, united arsenal fans to kick off. Say maguire is shite- provoke united fans to defend him, and some england fans too.

Jordan himself just comes across as a prick. Cocksure, massive ego, etc. I do agree with him on some things, it's just the way he holds himself as the authority on the matter at hand

Laura Woods is actually pretty good.

She also owned that cunt Idboneawhore

 

[Richey]

Not listened to it for years. I always used to be full of presenters who were as obnoxious as possible, hoping to get stupid fans riled up enough to call and have a row.

I can't imagine it has got much better.

It all gets very samey after a while and too Arsenal centric.

The wums like Durham are just dull these days, Simon Jordan whips up way more disagreement and discussion just by talking from the educated / business pov. I think that’s the answer to your question maybe @Modo , he’s a money man and not scared to tell the rest of them when they’re talking shite, which they very frequently are.

Agbonlahor is indescribably stupid, so much so that they take the p!$$ out of him for it on Talksh!te even while employing him.

That said, I don't actually agree with you about this. Agbonlahor wasn't saying they shouldn't celebrate. He was saying that they overdid it, and IMO Laura Woods - who as you say is normally reasonable but who happens to be an Arse fan herself - "answered" a point the poor thick cnut didn't actually make.

We celebrated a draw against Palace one time that no doubt drew lots of laughs from opponents, but was about creating unity between team an supporters. Arteta doing good things there.

Sadly

he might actually be a really good manager, hopefully there’s a car crash or shock departure in the near future
