Is there anyone alive who, given the chance, wouldn't punch Piers Morgan full in the face?

I don't think so....He is totally unlikeable.

Its baffling how he has become so globally famous, considering he has no discernable talent to speak of, and also, no likeable feature whatsoever.

personally preferred Durham with Wrighty as Gough is always against Durham which makes it tedious listening sometimes - at least with Wrighty it was a bit more lighthearted

Collymore has some good points - the other evening he tried to wind up Saggers saying that the majority of journos were middle class twits who didn't live in the real world - the plug was soon pulled on that subject no doubt after the powers that be could see where it was leading.
He,Collymore tries to come across as one of the lads or yer typical lifelong fan and thinks he's speaking for us fans - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
As I said I think he uses long words and tries to sound ten times more intelligent than he actually is which occasionally makes him sound rather foolish IMO

Goughy has improved, but he can't read stuff out, it sounds like primary school. Wrighty has become a very good broadcaster, caught a bit of his show on Absolute the other week, he's good imo

I generally tun off TalkShite now. The only saving grace are the continually excellent Hawksbee and Jacobs and strangely enough I've found myself listening to Keys and Gray a bit more, even though Richard Keys is another one you'd happy run over in the motor and then reverse just to make sure.

The best show on the station IMO, always guaranteed a good laugh, good banter etc etc. Jacob's bashing of AVB is funny.

Isn't Talksport just an extension of the whole 'Jeremy-Kyle-Chav-Generation' form of media that so dominates today?

You can imagine their job adverts.....

'Are you a failed/disgraced sportsman-celebrity??....Do you appeal to brain-dead idiots??...Want to talk rubbish and court controversy on a regular basis??... .If your answers are a resounding yes then Talksport is for you....Don't worry, broadcasting skills are not required.....'

It is essentially white-van-man radio, probably the best way to put it. More like an extension of Sky Sports really, obsessed with Big 4, plus Spurs/WHU

I must admit, only to have stumbled across it on very rare occasions....I'm always put off by the complete cocks who phone up wanting to 'discuss' various matters...Most just seem to be idiot cockneys wanting to talk about football, which is all well and good, but most of what they say is complete and utter garbage.
