Saw this last week but forgot to post it until today. My short-term memory is a shambles… where was I? Oh yes, the fat pricks at Talksport:

Get in there Steve. Excellent work on behalf of fans who do look outside the Premier League.

Perhaps if Mike Parry spent less time eating, he’d have noticed Yaya Toure existed before the 2010 World Cup.

Hell’s bells, the level of football expertise in this country is a disgrace. If sections of the mainstream media were less concerned about hiring big-mouthed ‘characters’ (DJ Spoony, Tim Lovejoy, Jeremy Kyle, Colin Murray etc.) and took more interest in the great number of open-minded football journalists who do know what they’re talking about (Jonathan Wilson, Gabriele Marcotti, Rafael Honigstein, Simon Kuper etc.), you wouldn’t end up with so many deluded England fans who think John Terry is better than Lucio only because they haven’t even heard of the latter.

    brilliant, love how they had the cheek say he had looked silva and toure up on wiki!

  3. Aidan says:

    Neither Mike Graham nor Mike Parry are football journalists. Most people (outside of football) haven’t heard of Yaya Toure. Still embarrassing though. Also, Rafael Honigstein was on talkSPORT for three hours last week and Gab Marcotti cut his teeth on the station for five years.

    Quality stuff.

    Typical TalkSport- utter nonsense.

    Agree with everything the City fan said.

    Silva was arguably Spain’s best player in Euro 2008.

  5. Tinez says:

    Laughable comments and the worst indictment of the response is to accuse the caller of being ignorant and impolite. Get your facts straight.

  6. roflcoptor says:

    This is so funny. Talksport just bait people.

  7. mizman says:

    they decided to have a go at the bloke after the call had ended. he rinsed them big time.

  8. kritter says:

    Honigstein is second to none.

  9. supaphil says:

    Even if you don’t follow football outside them Prem, Yaya hasbeen linked with Prem sides since he was about 16. Like every year… These dudes are f***ing morons.

    @ Aidan – If their not that into sport, why come onto a show like talksport and chat shite?! It’d be like asking Alan Hansen to disect Saddam Hussain’s defence of Baghdad.

    A pair of utter bell ends…

    Steve from Manchester gets my vote!

  12. dan says:

    WOW! how thick do you have to be to get a job on this show?
    quite repulsive to be honest.
    seems almost like a hoax.
