TalkSport went drastically downhill…
TalkSport went drastically downhill ever since the Company who own the low-life tabloid paper, The Sun, took over. Seemingly financed by Gambling ads, sports commentary is just screaming, and the majority of presenters are terrible. It's as if it's been put together by Primary School kids. Both in presenting and production. Excessively biased 'experts' such as Keown, dumb experts' such as 'Agbonlahor' are unlistenable to. As is Matterface. Jim White embarrassingly blokes smoke way up everyone's back side. Simon Jordan is okay, but does point out he used to own Crystal Palace in nearly every comment he makes. Hawksby & Jacobs have always been a favourite of mine, although Jacob's brings Chelsea in to every discussion. Most callers are shouted down with the opinions of presenters. The good thing about TalkSport is it's forced to search for decent Podcasts elsewhere! Will I listen to TalkSport again. I wouldn't bet on it!!!
Cant listen anymore.
Anyone using the waste of time App,constantly has adverts cutting in,ie they are doing an interview and "On the Beach" cuts in playing over the interview,there is no pause,rewind or play another time,way to many adverts,i think you get about 30 minutes programme time every hour,drives me mad,the app constantly keeps cutting out,i cant listen to it anymore.
Love this station
Love this station. Only negatives are that talentless no mark Shebahn Aherne. Used to love hearing Natalie on a Sunday morning but SA is grating. Likewise that Crook character. Never says anything original.
Anyone but her
Was looking forward to the breakfast show this week ,but unfortunately Alan Brazil off ill , so they choose Sheban the most annoying irritating voice and presenter ever ,do they not read reviews on here ,so switched off till 10am every day ..could of chose Katie or Natalie or anyone so annoying .
Game of 2 halves ...
First the positives....
Simon Jordan is fantastic and so refreshing in today's 'woke' world.
Cundy and O'Hara are great fun as are pantomime villain Andy Goldstein and surprisingly knowledgeable Benty.h&j show really good too providing they both attend...Alan Brazil still great, Gabby unintentionally funny and party Parlour always on form would love to hear more of him.
The bad
Charlie baker, Max Rushden the failed comedians that just talk over everyone rushing out the jokes nobody ever laughs at.
Womens hour: anything between 5 and 6 which unfortunately is my commute time...since the awful Shebahn O'Hern somehow took over it's as though there is an unwritten rule that the show must be lead by a woman and said woman must have an annoying,high pitched and far too loud voice!(Were looking at you Olivia!)if you insist on a woman Laura woods and Natalie Sawyer were both good to listen to.in fairness Katie is fine,she is a likeable character.the token male allowed on the show thinks he's funny talking about "boffins" but he really isn't!even the travel news reader that time of day just mumbles incoherently!!
Saturdays too are unbearable until the actual game coverage.
Good content/presenters but
Overall the presenters and shows are really good, but the massive amount of gambling adverts is terrifying, running through every show at least every 15 minutes. Even during the school run they are on, which prompted my daughter to ask whether everyone needs to put a bet on when they reach 18! This is the start of a pandemic, with betting companies trying to normalise betting;its horrific.
21 minutes to go podcast DISASTER
This feedback is based purely on the Andy Goldstein/Jason Cundy new 21 minutes to go podcast.
It is by far the worst thing I have heard on a podcast ever. 2 schoolchildren giggling away at something they think is funny does not cut it with me. I expect more of professional broadcasters who to be fair provide decent content on their other shows “Drive” and “Sports Bar”.
Need to have a re-think about this one lads.
Sports Bar and Simon Jordon too 👍
Best programme by far is the Sports Bar with Cundy and O’Hara. They are brilliant comedic value and tell it how it is. The only other programme I listen to is when Simon Jordan is on and although I don’t always agree with what he says, his opinions are worth listening to.
Simon Jordan best presenter
Without Simon Jordan i would stop listening. Jim white i do not care what politicians you like or dislike this is talksport . journalist you should be neutral
Could be a lot better!!
They do not talk about sport enough!! Too many money making competitions and too much presenter in jokes!!
Free.bets
Spent 40 pound to the free bets got told I can't get them because I had account with a different company stay away joke of company
I can't stand Simon Jordan
I can't stand Simon Jordan. He's so rude and insulting, almost like he believes that's the character to portray. Touch of Katie Hopkins going on there.
The other presenters are atleast polite to guests, Simon gets an expert on, then proceeds to insult and abusive them.
I won't listen to the gobby little twit anymore, Talk Sport doesn't go on the radio until 1pm.
Paid by City's owners
We all know 115 FC are frauds, but it feels like talksport is constantly doing damage control for them. Nobody at talksport seems to have a shred of integrity whatsoever.
Bring normality back to weekend mornings, PLEASE!
I always listened to Tony and Natalie on Saturday and Sunday Morning. Then found Sheban very abrasive and not the right fit for the programme. Tuned in today
and was delighted to hear Katie Shanahan's voice, which is clear and easy on my hearing. Please can she
become permanent
Brilliant no sheban aherne today it's…
Brilliant no sheban aherne today it's Katie shanahan can finally listen for the first time in months
Unethical never ending gambling betting…
Unethical never ending gambling betting ads ...its like audible spam you get in your email ....very creepy weird radio station 90% gambling propaganda with some moaning in between
Sam matterface.. Drivel
I'm on here again. Currently Everton v arsenal.. Sam matterface asking his co host what music he is into and discussing it while the game is on.. How he has a job I don't know, talks absolute drivel most of the time.. Switching to 5 live
Too many awful betting ads
Too many awful betting ads and every time I tune in on digital radio I hear ads. The only reason I ever listen is to hear blokes talking about football not fecking pub games.
Man Utd West Ham
Appalling commentary! Some woman can she stick to women's football please. Can't listen to it.
Generally I love talk sport especially…
Generally I love talk sport especially drive time. However, the sheer volume of adverts if over whelming, it's more like an advert channel that has interludes of sports chat. Even when some of the show kicks in you'll get an advert suddenly playing over them without stopping the show, so you come back to try them midway through another chat. Happened twice so far in 36 mins of white and Jordan this morning with a jack Daniels advert.
