Number 46 wins by a short head for me, but just brilliant reading. Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: Longy on January 30, 2009, 04:00:42 AM The radio phone in shows was my favourite, I have stopped listening to them cos of exactly that line of dialogue.

I'm amazed that entry didn't contain the words 'Tim Lovejoy' or 'Spoony'. Danny Baker FTW. Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic...

Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: TightEnd on January 30, 2009, 10:12:57 AM Lovejoy should have had his own number full stop. Spoony is worse. I thinkl Claridge might be too, but I ahve a biased soft spot for him Danny Baker appeals to me, the rest I cannot do more than 5 mins of. Of the pundits on radio, I have the most time for David Pleat. Off for a lie down Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: Josedinho on January 30, 2009, 10:17:28 AM 44 and 10 are the worst for me.
Disagree with a couple though. Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: rossfourfive on January 30, 2009, 11:45:22 AM "35. Sky Sports News"
The writer just lost a lot of respect Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: AndrewT on January 30, 2009, 11:46:13 AM "35. Sky Sports News" The writer just lost a lot of respect How so? Apart from Soccer Saturday SSN is shit. Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: rossfourfive on January 30, 2009, 12:03:45 PM "35. Sky Sports News" The writer just lost a lot of respect How so? Apart from Soccer Saturday SSN is shit. Soccer Saturday is SSN. Without SSN there would be no Soccer Saturday. And, I wouldn't be able to keep up to date with the breaking news in between lectures. All hail SSN. Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: TightEnd on January 30, 2009, 12:05:29 PM SSN is utterly dreadful
ludicrous sensationalist lowest common denomiator TV When is news not news? when its on Sky sports news of course Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: TheChipPrince on January 30, 2009, 12:13:45 PM Of the pundits on radio, I have the most time for David Pleat. Really? Sounds like Pleat doesnt know his arse from his elbow sometimes, just spouts off random players names! On TV commentary anyway... Granham Taylor I actually like on FiveLive, probably cos i'm not English and don't remeber his Eng managers reign! Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic...

Not so keen on Pleat, though he does work better on radio than TV, where he has the annoying habit of telling you what you just saw yourself, instead of what you didn't see. Mind you, it's difficult not to appear knowledgable about football when you're co-commentating with Alan Green. Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic...

Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: Josedinho on January 30, 2009, 12:45:11 PM Soccer Saturday is special and part of a saturday routine - watch the scores come in and watch the bets fail
I will never tire of listening to Paul Merson or Matt Le Tissier. I'd love to be there with them. No Paul Walsh for me though thanks. Although it is on SS1 you don't really get your 6 hours worth there with early or late kick offs taking up time so 405 is the place to watch it. 405 is generally a very tedious channel but occasional has some good stuff on. Most of it's news is rubbish especially it's breaking news and i hate the phrase "sky sports news understands". I have to admit to staying up on deadline day until the transfer window shuts while having it on. The only think the trasnfer window is good for imo. Title: Re: This is Just Fantastic... Post by: rossfourfive on January 30, 2009, 02:05:11 PM The reel that repeats through the night and midday is pretty tedious but it's far outweighed by Soccer Saturday and any Soccer Special. Love the banter - what an easy job. Jeff and Kammy FTW.
