Had to pick someone up from the airport this evening and tuned into this pile of shite while driving and waiting, Chris Sutton & Robbie Savage. Dear God they couldn’t lace Danny Baker’s boots, cringeworthy, awful show.

Savage is like a drag queen and Chris Sutton sounds like the village idiot
Sutton is stealing a living as a football pundit. He's a tediously predictable wind-up merchant.Quote:

I spoke to Danny Baker once on air after I'd had a breast pump confiscated at Twerton Park around 1989. He kept mentioning it for years. He's a Marmite character but I've always liked him, the king of the football phone inQuote:

I like Savage, he can be annoying at times as he isn't the brightest but he can be quite engaging with the football "banter". Sutton on the other hand is regularly just unpleasant for the sake of it and on 606 I'm sure it is a factor in the "quality" of calls to the show. I'd suggest the broadcasters need to pay attention to it and why nowadays on that show they seem to spend a significant amount of time having to ask for callers.Quote:

Sell the thing whilst it has some value .
Get the burden of the overpaid celebrities of the tax payer.
I avoid Sutton and Savage like the plague. My nightmare Saturday afternoon would be Alan Green commentating on a match followed by these two clowns discussing it afterwards.
I agree about Danny Baker by the way. Really miss his show and his occasional appearances on 606.
It's getting very difficult to disagree nowadays. It's almost as if they want it to get so bad it is unsellable as a justification for continuing with it!Quote:

I like Chris Sutton. Robbie Savage is a ****ing **** though.
I listed to it occasionally, but I find that the presenters tend to argue with everyone who calls in with an opinion. They also interrupt them, which is really annoying. Thumbs up for Robbie Savage though. One of those guys that you're not supposed to like, but you can't help admiring.
It's with a fortune ,someone would buy , sadly the grey rinse brigade love it .Quote:

I left when Peter Allen did plus Pinear ,Phil Williams , both now on Times Radio .
Danny Baker who had /has no equals when it came to phone in's,
his books are very good .
Employing Nihal Arthanayake on a prime time slot take some doing can't listen to the whimpering fool .
Mind you will miss the local Radio where you get storylines like Mrs Jones of Ferndale being upset with the quality of dish cloths .
