Keys and Gray meet Talksport: Dumb Dumber & Dumberer


Richard Keys 'ah-ha!'
Andy Gray 'I'm an entertainer'
"And the public gets what the public wants, but I want nothing this society's got"-P.Weller
It was inevitable; the unfeasibly popular and populist TalkSport has hired Keys & Gray, the Alan Partridge and David Brent of sports broadcasting. Their tiresome and odious sexist ways are ideal fodder for TalkSport, along with their inane and outmoded views on football.

The great British public eat this garbage up with gusto. TalkSport since it dropped the 'Radio' from it's previous incarnation as TalkRadio has become like The Sun newspaper, Tetley tea and Reality TV; part of the landscape-hardcore for the masses.

The opinions of the so called experts are listened to in Taxis, white vans, cafes and work places throughout the country. Every topic designed to generate controversy and phone calls (calls cost up to 10p per minute), TEXT: 81089 (50p plus standard rate).

Along with their reverse auctions (terms and conditions apply: Bids may only be made in pence and cost £1.50 per Bid (UK) or 2 Euros (Eire) if made by mobile phone or landline telephone. You must ensure you have the bill payer's permission before entering How Low. We accept Mastercard, Visa, Switch, Delta, and Maestro cards for bids made online within the UK. Outside the UK for bids made online we accept payment by Mastercard, Maestro, Delta and Visa cards. Online bids cost £1.50 per bid and can only be purchased individually up to 6 bids then in blocks of 11 (£16.50), 16 (£24.00), and 20 (£30.00) and Magazine, Keys and Gray will bring in more calls and more exposure to misguided crap about football. The type of thinking that has resulted in rampant xenophobia to gloss over the abysmal England national team.

I myself have heard so called fans abusing players because Adrian Durham or some other cretin from the station has advised them to do so. Some fans opinions are based on the rhetoric of Alan Brazil and his fellow ex pros. But I guess with Keys & Gray being taken on the good ship spite the public are getting what the public want.
'Yeah that's right send the buggers back'

HATE

Then Now Earlier today Captain Kirk sent me the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG1f-v88-kU&sns=em To say it is both disturbing and upsetting is an understatement. We see the beautiful game as something of a mirror to society and try to look on the community of supporters as a positive force. A set of human beings with some values borne out of an understanding of what this great sport of ours can give us. However, it takes a certain amount of myopia from the Football Authorities to proclaim that all is well. The issues that were amplified over the weekend at Old Trafford cannot be trivialised when we see the full extent of hatred; in any form. The violence is shocking as we see people attacked on a basis that is a result of flawed thinking, and the powers that be proclaim all is well; all is not well. So when I look at those images, I have to ask myself this… http://youtu.be/6RVDQgVxprE

"IF WE BEHAVE LIKE THEM, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT IN WINNING? "- John Connor

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that."-John Connor To overcome Skynet was not easy, it involved time, belief and an indomitable human spirit. To beat a machine equipped with superior weaponry and a ruthless access to resources to increase its arsenal took ingenuity and a "never say die" attitude. Abu Dhabi is the ground zero of Skynet and Manchester CXV are the Terminators. The thing about Skynet is that there are no qualms about what their aim is, there are no notions of fairness.  "Listen, and understand! Manchester CX are out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until someone stops them flagrantly breaking rules"-Kyle Reese In a landscape where one team dominates it is up to a resistance to topple them, this is made hard when using resources that were ga...

LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Sunderland V Sp*rs ended goalless meaning that Sp*rs currently sit third. It was a game that had 0-0 written all over it after about 30 minutes. The baton now passes to us in today’s fixture against Man City. A win gives us a two point advantage and a draw puts us back in third. One side that we need to be mindful of in the shake up for 3 rd & 4 th is Newcastle who have hung on all season and present a threat to ECL qualification. What the SAFC v THFC game showed is the poverty of this current Premier League; it was awful. A cursory comparison between teams in the Premier era makes grim reading for the current state of the game. The Man Utd of 99 would definitely beat the current side, The Newcastle of Keegan, The Chelsea of Mourinho, the Villa of Atkinson, the Blackburn of Dalgleish, The Liverpool of Fowler, McManaman, Owen etc would batter the Liverpool of 2012. Certainly the Invincibles would put the current Arsenal team to the sword. Even teams like Midd...
