Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

Re: Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

Have you watched her interview Bob?

She asked to go on the show and wanted the coverage; she thought she would come out great on it and thinks she's a brilliant pundit.

I watched about three quarters of it before I gave up because they were just repeating themselves as they went round and round in circles - it was a useful reminder as to why I should continue giving Talksport a wide birth. I had no time whatsoever for Jim White who’s just a hack continually trying to make the mundane sound sensational, but thought both Aluko and Jordanmade some good points while also having quite a few weak spots - in football terms, I would have rated it a low scoring draw with both parties showing more weaknesses than strengths.

At one time. Jordan said “I have a daughter” as if that meant he knew exactly what it’s like to be a (young) woman in the mid 2020s. He’s not alone in thinking like that as there seems to be an awful lot of middle age/old white men who talk as if they know what it is to be black and/or a woman today -i don’t know what it’s like to be in those demographics, so try, but don’t always succeed, to not allow my opinions to be guided by preconceptions.

If that's your opinion, it's your opinion, it's a weird one, but it's yours

I thought he tied her up in knots and that she came out looking daft, but each to their own.

Fancy saying he has a daughter, when he does have a daughter, shocking

The language of "this one" alone tells a story

Also Alex Scott has received more abuse than probably any other presenter, she was even threatened with acid being thrown in her face

So you've done a great job of proving Bob's point there

What are you going on about?

"This one"
pronoun
A specified object, thing or person (especially one nearby or known)

Next time I'll use her full Christian name, if I'm allowed to say Christian.

She seems to be a woman with a massive chip on her shoulder.

I think he is satirising you Delm. It's not too hard ;)

Re: Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

You’re either very naive or just fancying an argument (again). For many, arguments are very often down to skin colour, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation etc. Sadly, the early to mid twenty twenties will be recalled as a time when such matters were more to the fore in forming opinions than they often were in the past - I spent 90 per cent of my life thinking that I was living in an age where the world was becoming a more tolerant place, but in the last seven years or so, I’ve come to think differently.

Are you one of the ‘many’ or do you set yourself apart?

Having met Paul on a couple of occasions, but more importantly having read a huge number of his contributions to this message board over the years, I’d say he very definitely stands apart from the ‘many’ he refers to. That much is blatantly obvious, isn’t it?

That's all to his credit.

Here's looking at you Bob!
