Steve Morrison on Talksport

[The Crab]

I do listen a lot while at work,but have you heard it when Vinnie Jones comes on AB's show...what a load of crap...always bigging up Leeds when they mention the Championship aswell,but I've never heard so much rubbish as when they have him on,it's cringeworthy.

Has his film work dried up? Don't say Hollywood has found him out too............

No,he's still getting the odd gig with that mate,inbetween playing golf and name dropping his mates in Hollywood.

 

[PokerBlade]

We're still the team everybody expects to drop away.
So called experts and ex players who haven't watched much of us take one look at the budget and just presume we'll fade .

I always like the prediction that a team will "fade". It's one of those predictions that you can guarantee will be right eventually. People have been making it about us since we first topped the table under Wilder. And whether it's this season, or it's in the Prem, or even if it's in the fucking Champion's League, someone will be around to say "Told you the Blades would drop off the pace".

You can see it now can't you "so I said to Danny Dyer (he's fackin royalty now apparently) and Tamar Hussein......."

I bet he doesn't talk about Tamar Hussein much now, not since he gave Jones a beating!

 

[Jonboy60]

It takes some doing to get possibly only one of the top six correct. Not saying I’d have done better, but I’m not a pundit.

Neither is he

 

[Dnblade]

You can see it now can't you "so I said to Danny Dyer (he's fackin royalty now apparently) and Tamar Hussein......."

AB and Ray Parlour usually ask him what he's upto,then it's a run through his old clubs..."what about Wimbledon Vin..good win satdi Vin"..."and Leeds going well Vin"...
"Yeah great to see my old team up there"..."eh lads I'm just havin' a knock around Augusta with Tiger and PDiddy,and I'm in your neck of the woods So later this week...
It's total bollocks,i don't know why they have him on.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

I had us top two at the start of the season, but I acknowledge that we may have to settle for 3rd at worst.....

A bon viveur, that should have knocked the bon viveuring on the head 10 years ago, when the telangiectases first appeared. His head now looks like an inflamed scrotum.

 

[Kenilworth]

Unusual for AB to not go straight into talking about a Premier League team, when discussing the championship.
His knowledge of teams outside the prem is so poor he normally asks one question on the championship subject and immediately revert back to the top 20.
Darren Gough is another prize member, as well - the fecking Spud loving Dingle, know nowt.

Have to admit I had to look that one up . Very impressive use of vocabulary sir , I always thought they were just called bollocks.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Alan Brazil hasn’t got a journalistic bone in his body. He’s too lazy to do his research about the Championship. There is only one United in his vocabulary and TalkSPORT’s vocabulary for that matter. Jim White is the biggest Prem “brown noser” on the airwaves and Adrian Durham is simply a cunt. The stations only saving grace is Danny Kelly and Paul Hawksbee

 

[Deadbat]

Loving the 1 'r' in Morison. He's another player who would be incorrectly spelled on an hourly basis if we signed him with Sharpe, Clark, Brookes and McEverley.

Made sure it was spelt corectly

My Dad used to regularly criticise the defending of Tom Cowans but lauded the work of Gordon Cowen in midfield.

 

[SwissBlade]

I actually remember those predictions being shared on Owlstalk and they were all up in arms saying they would be much higher.

Of course! They are the deluded afterall

 

[Sean Thornton]

Cowen?

 

[Topplayersleave]

I'm sure we were the best team Bolton had played until Norwich wiped the floor with them last Saturday, but it's all pretty subjective, and depends what happens on the day.

With confidence shattered Bolton could go to Millwall or Swansea or somewhere and get dicked 6-0

That would make Millwall or Swansea the best team in the League as far as Bolton are concerned

I tend to agree with that. I often just turn Durham off, when he’s desperate for some controversy and starts talking genuine shite. I’ve got no interest in listening to a bloke pretending to be a simpleton to provoke idiots into calling his show so that he can humiliate them.

The Jim White show is OK but mainly because they kept the same format and guests as Colin Murray’s show.

The better stuff is after 7.00pm when they have serious presenters and guests. As you say, Danny Kelly is a cut above.

I think the issue with Talksport is that’s it’s place in the market is to attract “The Sun” reader type of male, it’s so “laddish”.
They (especially Durham) say some rediculous stuff, then you realise that it’s his job to say anything (as long as it’s legal) that provokes a reaction. Jim White is the same too but I suppose in the pub after work they’d all admit they are bullshitters just doing a job.

Sometimes Alan Brazil gets very close to the edge. The other week he was saying that “having depression has now become trendy”.
He said he often doesn’t feel like going to work and wonders if he also has depression. He said in his day “you just get on with it”.

He also calls women “love” and constantly boasts about how he does nothing in the house but says that’s what having a wife is for,
He even admitted that his wife gets up at 5am every morning to make him his Frosties for breakfast. He was kind of bragging off about how useless he is in the house because “it’s woman’s work”. Think he’s being serious and not on the wind up.

AB also brags off and tries to glamourise his excessive drinking habits. When any guest comes on criticising the effects of alcohol he always gets defensive making it clear he finds nothing wrong with “enjoying yourself”, he makes himself sound like he’s in the early stages of being an alcoholic.

Early stages? Brazil is more likely in the latter stages!!

The OP wasn't quite how the interview went down, however the sentiment was/is the same. AB asked Morison who the best opponents were, and quickly went on to suggest it was either Leeds or Norwich. To my pleasant surprise Morison said actually it was Sheffield United.....AB and his co presenter (can't remember who) offered virtually nothing in reply! As others have said, poor knowledge and just paying lip service really to the most exciting and competitive division in Europe; hey ho, onwards and upwards eh?!

 

[chesblade]

Would love it if we went up automatically, that would really upset the media. All they are bothered about are Norwich, Leeds, Wba and Frank's Derby. They are not interested in little sheff United so it would really shut them up

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Not sure I agree tbh.

Read and listened to plenty of pundits on sky, quest, newspapers, podcasts and i'd say 95% are extremely positive about the way we play and what Chris Wilder has done.

It's only the odd gimpet like Paul Parker who clearly hasn't seen Sheffield United since he was playing at full back.

Hence the question. Last night I heard Natalie Sawyer say ‘Sheffield United, fantastic team, if they go up surely Chris Wilder is a contender for manager of the year’. I hear comments like that regularly. I don’t buy into the idea that ‘the media’ have any particular favouritism towards West Brom or Norwich, other than, like us, they’re good footballing sides at the top of div 2.

The problem with Natalie Saywer is you can't see tits on the radio.

Agree......our main fans seem to be the Sky pundits and Colin Murray on Quest.
Even I find it a bit sickly how they seem to go on about us being this special “great to watch`’ attacking side.
I remember when we lost to Derby 1-2, many on their forums were accusing Sky of bias towards us, some even said the pundits seemed to want us to win and were still giving us more complements than them even though Derby won.

Watch the game on Saturday and it wouldn’t surprise me if they treat us as the media darlings above West Brom.
They’ll go on about our style of play, our “unique style” of overlapping centre backs
and how we’ll play positive attacking football even though we’re the away team.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Going round and round in circles chaps and chapesses (not sure if that's the correct spelling)........the next couple of months will seem like one of those run-ins that never seem to end. It'll certainly seem close, and at times the nerve-ends will be standing on end, so let's hope that both management and players have the backbone, fortitude, and desire to drive on no matter how tight or close to the edge of the cliff it may seem. No excuses now I think, Wilder has recruited well, especially up front, and we have quality all over the park, so it's time that we, the supporters, became the 12th man we hear so much about. Best end of season since we were promoted for me.

 

[Fanny magnet]

I heard the Steve Morrison interview and how people have come away offended by the presenter ( who let's be honest only gives a shit about booze and horseracing ) amazes me

The content of the Interview was really interesting even if the questions werent
