Overall it gives a far, far better overall view of the Championship, Leagues One and Two and the National League.
Adrian Durham and Darren Gough's show always makes me smile. It's like having bad cop/good cop, presenting a sports show. I fail to ever get riled by what Durham has to says, as I firmly believe he only spouts 99% of the garbage that he does to deliberately rile people up, and get idiots (in the main) to phone in to the show, and have a go at him. I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually believe in a lot of what he says, but does it to cause controversy and through fuel onto fire of any current topical football debate. He needs ignoring! Winding people up over football matters is part of his airtime personality, and it's my bet the powers that be, behind talksport, actually encourage him to do this. His daily piss take of Arsenal "The Daily Arsenal'" does get me grinning from ear to ear though. It's a pity more sports presenters didn't rip the pee out of "The Big Five", and their in the main, plastic fans
