Football Heaven.

Podcasts, both those dedicated to the blades and those about football in general. I did listen to the BBC ‘Blades Heaven’ podcast but that seems to have disappeared.

Stop talking bollox. Plenty of good stuff offered by the BBC, for me anyway. I know it is a target for a certain demographic though. #dEefHunDdErbBc

To completely murder a quote in a Dickens book, they employ Luxmy Gopal, therefore I declare it to be good…

People still thinking the BBC produces anything worth consuming in 2025 ffs

Whitehouse and Mortimer gone fishing

Whitehouse and Mortimer gone fishing

That sounds like Partridge's back up to Inner City Sumo

Well, I’ve recently acquired a VPN so take a wild guess…

Then you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Wonderful TV.

Agreed, but we’d be here until next year if we start listing all the brilliant programmes the BBC broadcast!

I disagree in general, but decided to reply as today I have watched the first three episodes of Adam Curtis’ new documentary Shifty on BBC iPlayer. I think it is brilliant (so far), and every review I have read agrees.

Curtis has been making some of the best TV in the world for decades, mainly for the BBC.

I think FH is fine, although it is difficult to regularly get ‘quality’ callers so that lets it down. Staton is normally well balanced, and although I agree he can close down debates sometimes, most often when the calls are embarrassingly stupid, he has done this for both sets of fans.

 

[Willglynning]

I made the mistake of flicking it on for a couple of minutes yesterday for some background noise.

Heard some fuckwit talking about ‘these AI’ players as if we literally just used chat GPT. Then demanded Sean Dyche come in immediately.

I turned it straight off.

Are you sure you weren’t just on one of the threads here?

 

[Rodley]

Kids TV output is pretty unbelievable, not the cynical lab tested Cocomelon bollocks which destroys attention spans. Great f’little uns.

 

[Tom Heffernan]

Notice their account on here hasn't commented or posted recently.. might be down to them alienating any listener who's not a pig.

It's not their Wendy love in that annoyed me , it's their arrogance and belittling of their listeners , when they have not understood the possible ramifications of the Caceres sale, with regard to ESC spots , maybe they are not as clever as they seem to think they are ???

Agreed. CBeebies has been a staple for us over the past 7 years. Some great and varied output. We’re now moving to CBBC and the same quality but the kids discovering new shows. Excellent.

BBC Film has produced some brilliant films over the years and continues to do so.

As do all radio stations, including local ones, as well as Test Match Special. The best programme out there!

And away.

 

[Swinton Blade]

I still listen to FH and don't find it biased one bit.

 

[loyalblade95]

Football Heaven hasn't covered all SY clubs with even coverage for ages, these days it's mostly just us and pigs (and whichever one of us gets more coverage/focus on each night), with barely any mention of the other clubs in the region.

Maybe there's no one wanting to talk about Rotherham, Donny, Barnsley or Chesterfield.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Near the end of tonites FH,someone asked is it safe to sit in the NS now,what work has been done ?

The font of all pig knowledge Staton...side stepped the question by saying he did not have the expertise to pass on his thoughts.

Second Hillsboro death trap just waiting to happen......#hammeriteowls

 

[Stretch]

Suffering through listening to these two morons to check out if any transfer updates but they just had a lovely little exchange mocking a Blades fan for daring to suggest that the Caceres departure
Might kick start at least one incoming. Literally chuckled to each other a minute or so of self-important drivel.

Forgot how much I hate this programme!

I was listening to it live and I did think it was a bit cheap. The Blade texter was just pointing out that Jefferson leaving frees up a spot, which is correct, but the FH lads decided to mock her as if she was saying that it would free up a load of money.

It does seem like a few Blades taking the piss out of Wednesday's situation lately has generally rattled the presenters a bit, to the point that they feel they need to have a few digs back. Giddings made a point of saying the other night that out of all the local club's fanbases, we are the ones who love a scapegoat. A debatable point, but why he even felt the need to say it was beyond me. It singled us out as being petty and resentful.

"Morons" is a bit much though.

I'm suprised FH Team have time for anything other than the self-pity fest down at s6

Yep - he’s gone from 2 weeks ago proclaiming that it needed 8-10 weeks of work to conveniently side stepping the issue. It’s all very strange that it miraculously now has a safety certificate & no-one is asking exactly what work had to be done to make it safe……and did Chancer pay for it? All very strange …..or was it just all part of the ‘woe is me Pigs sympathy’ strategy!

 

[Wards]

I don't think they quite appreciate how much they've pissed Unitedites off this summer. For a show that's struggling to keep listeners you think they'd restrain from being quite so fucking tedious but they've let Staton run his gob all summer so they've made their bed and they can lie in it. I certainly won't be tuning in again.

Hypernormalisation, Black Lake and Can't Get You Out Of My Head. All fantastic pieces of work from Curtis...and FH isn't that bad if you listen to it with an open mind. Given me plenty of interesting stuff over the years - remember being in Paradise Square after being at which ever match it was to hear that Blackwell had gone.

All the Curtis docs are incredible pieces of art. Never going to get Netflix turning something like that out.

 

[Jonboy60]

Rob Staton is like a lot of Pigs - totally full himself. He constantly drives his own agenda.

Is that one of them there electric plug-in thingies.

 

[reedy63]

That bloke with a funny voice came on on radio Sheffield demanding Selles to be sacked and replaced by Sean Dyche. What a load of cobblers talking shit as usual.
I would rather get sausage roll in.

How many will be tuned in for the Swansea coverage tomorrow?

My brother lives in the US and dreams of having something like the BBC,
oh and the NHS, national institutions.

Tell him to try cheese before bed he will have some much better dreams
