Totally agree, the prize for the fans is seeing your local club play at the National stadium, and that's what it's all about...
If some ginger bloke who thinks that season tickets come from sky, and doesn't understand that for a lot of smaller clubs the chance of seeing your team play at Wembley (in your lifetime!) is the holy grail... well he can go fuck himself frankly!

He's just a presenter who's on a constant wind up. 99% of what he says is reaction provoking stuff to get callers ringing in and having a go back.
Before the game with Burton he was going through the games that were off and he said ours was still on because we had hay on the pitch! Oh, how we all laughed!

Ah the old hay on the pitch scam....back in 85/86 we played six away games in a row and won the lot because the CG was frozen despite the extravagant amounts of hay on the pitch...which was costing us a small fortune billed to director Colin Howard, the excess added up to just about the difference in money, between the perceived gates receipts and actual gate receipts....  |

I'm sure he is a peterborough fan.
He is winding people up,its what they do.Its a bit of a back handed compliment him taking the mick on a national radio station, shows how much attention we are getting.And personally I find the hay on the pitch idea funny.

Quite simply is his job to provoke a reaction. It would be a boring show if everyone agreed all the time.
Or maybe he is just a nob
A little from column a)...a little from column b)  |

Whoever he is, what does it have to do with him?
The Football League obviously want to run the competition for its members.
To add some incentive they choose to hire Wembley stadium to stage the final.
Wembley Stadium Ltd (and their parent the FA) are happy to allow this to occur so why not? Who is it hurting?
I presume he uses the same argument for play-off finals too?
Would it also apply to the FA Cup or Carling Cup if a lower league team happened to make the final?
And should there be a rule to make Premier League teams field their strongest team is any cup finals just to make sure that sub-standard players didn't touch the hallowed turf.
I've never found anything remotely worth listening to on Talksport and don't think I'll start searching now.

And then there's the FA Trophy Final... perhaps that should be played at Hereford. Just to make it fair, you know.

I remmember him saying that Pompey shouldnt be allowed to be promoted to the Premier League after they had won the 2nd tier title by some distance, because Fratton Park was a dump.
The bloke has been peddling this sort crap for years.
Are there any Talksport presenters with any credibility at all?

Keys and Gray? They at least get some decent guests on and have a basic grasp of their specialist subject. |

George Galloway is a good listen when he is on there.

I quite like Mark Saggers.
The one who annoys me is Collymore.

To be fair the only presenters who don't try and be as controversial in their views are Hawksby & Jacobs. They generally talk a fair amount of sense. Alan Brazil has calmed down a lot, Keys and Gray are awful, and Durham and Gough are just on the wind up, constantly.
