I can’t see how Morrison is much of a risk, got him for nothing and only a one year deal. He works out great extend his contract he doesn’t say goodbye. As for the dressing room given what was reported to have gone on at Villa and the results of that I don’t know as Wilder will actually need to do much himself the team will police Morrison like they do everyone else
 



There was an hour and a half “Premier League Prediction Show” before the Blades feature. Long drive down to South Wales tonight so I suffered the lot of it. No research, no idea of signings, just simply “Sheffield United will struggle” but “Villa will be fine”. One muppet reckoned Bruce will get Newcastle swashbuckling and flying up the table. Maybe they’ll be right about us but it was lazy cliches. We have been spoilt by podcasts and fan driven content that is really showing up the “professionals” for the hollow, shallow, “big club”, “big manager” lickspittles they really are.


Yes it was total bollocks. Absolutely shite. Some twat journo from London said we've got Billy Sharp whose not proven in the Premier League and Oliver Norwood up front who has been passed out on loan from other Premier League clubs and err.........

.... that was it. No mention of other signings. Some bimbette agreed with London twat that Blades, Norwich and Brighton would go down and that was it. There followed a five minute orgasm about how Villa would certainly stay up and not do a Fulham.

Unbelievably piss poor research - so fuck 'em.
 
I haven't listened to Talksport for about 20 years.
I can remember driving all over the Country and listening to Alan Parry talking bolox and making shit up in the same way Adrian Durham does now. They used to slag us off in them days as well. Alan Parry said Notts County were the Worlds oldest club, somebody corrected him and said it was Sheffield FC, Notts County are just the Worlds oldest League club.

He wouldn't have it and even said there was no such thing as Sheffield FC.
I just switched channels one day (not because of that) but because the whole programme was shit, with it's Jonny come lately Southern Nigel's talking as much bolox as Parry did.

I never felt the urge to switch it back on again.

They used to slag us off in them days too, where it comes from I don't know, it seems that they've picked out a reasonable sized Northern club to crucify, the club had to be of reasonable size because if they picked Halifax or Morecambe it wouldn't have any effect.
Any other club promoted to the Premier League would get some decent comments for what they've achieved, they'd get some good luck messages hoping they'd stay up, but us, no chance, same old patronising bullshit with zero knowledge about us or anything we do.

The only thing worse than them is it's listeners, at least they get paid for being pricks
Think you might mean Mike parry. He was very entertaining when he was with Andy Townsend coming up with shit like race horses should be fitted with ejector seats and wing mirrors! Some people did use to ring in and take it seriously too!

Maybe you don’t understand the format. It’s like tuning in to a Keith Lemmon show and complaining that he talks bollox (which he does).

Mike Parry always talks bollox too, he deliberately plays the fool for light entertainment. I remember him saying that horse racing is dangerous so horses should have wing mirrors strapped to their heads to aid the visibility of the jockeys.

Talksport radio is often the click bait of radio stations, they deliberately make ludicrous suggestions and have little spells taking the piss out of most clubs.
They generally slag off the big 6. Adrian Durham had a slot called The Daily Arsenal where he would ridicule Arsenal and their players,
A few months back he was saying if Liverpool don’t win the league then Klopp should be sacked because he’s a serial loser, then he asked Liverpool fans to call if they disagree and to give reasons why he shouldn’t be sacked.

It’s not always a serious radio station but does have more listeners than any other sports show, so must be doing something right. Adrian Durham plays the pantomime villain (that’s the role he’s been given) and some sensitive souls think he’s being serious when he spouts extreme and controversial opinions.

Instead of offering negative criticism (which is all you ever see on Facebook) why not break the mould and make a posting suggestion.
I prefer Talksport because it’s light hearted and entertaining for background listening but I’m open to suggestions for better alternatives.

Another good one was when el hadji diouf got done for spitting.parry was asking for spitoons to be placed around the pitch and the refs to have paper towel dispensers attached to there backs so players could wipe their hands afterwards!!

Parry comes up with some hilarious suggestions, which he says with such passion and seriousness.
 
I like Mike Parry, he's an amiable and harmless buffoon, who can be very entertaining at times.
Amazingly he has held some extremely powerful positions in his colourful past.
