Extra time

Piggins?

Craig Mitch was on again last night - first time I've heard him - and he was utterly hopeless. Again and again he showed he hadn't a clue about anything he was discussing. He asked some reporter how Mane had played on Sunday, and the reporter, a la the Bob Monkhouse incident, sounded embarrassed as he pointed out the widely-reported news that Mane hadn't played because he was suspended (two different versions, eh, Craig?). Then they had Tim Vickery on, and this bloke acted like he was Tim's best mate, only to ruin it when he ended by saying, very loudly and clearly, 'Thanks, Tom!'

We have indeed borne witness to the rightful heir, the natural successor and the one true adopted son of the late, great and utterly legendary Ronald Charles Irani

Is he edgy as well as professional ?

[Carlos J]

He's a twat, Dk wasn't keen, you could tell. TS Schedule says Catterall, but 'Big' Billy Gavin and 'Simple' Sam Stevens again. Hey, look at this exciting poll:

Is he taking tips from his fellow fattist, Boozil?:

Fat Sam and wee Davie.

Big Billy is a bit lost on soccer chat. Roll on the NFL season when the greatest guru ever, plus he likes men in lycra bodyrubbing. #wrassling A queer old cove.

Click off to good old Rhod.

Tedious cunts, James. Catterall, the worst cunt seems to come and go, should go, utter cunt. And has his own thread. But big Billy Gavin, knowing he has some regular gig has also has folded into complacency in broadcasting and searching lowest common denominator Broadcasting.

Even out of the soccer season he struggles and he's not good on that.

When we ponder our lost overnight chaps, it is so sad. Dear old Russ Hargreaves, a bit rugger, but professional, educated and no shit and top broadcating. Dear old Geoff Peters, 100% professional and sports talk from all over the world.

And lo, we get Big Billy talking nothing on subjects he knows little about. As per, coasting till the NFL starts, Billy, it ain't hard to see. #manhugginglover #fatuselesscunt

The boy latchment

The boy, man Latch chatting to the lad Fletch, 35yrs you know and his appearance on Rushden and Oirish's 'Sturmey Archers' and asking what a 'Sturmey' was. Fuck sake.

Craig Mitch on again yesterday. 'Wow, we've already talked SO much about FOOTBALL! And SPORT! And we'll talk even more after the news!' He made it sound like some kind of charity challenge. You're on TalkSport, mate. In the minute or two I listened before gratefully turning off, he once again managed to mess up just about everything he attempted. A journo came on to discuss 'what's all over de backs of de newspapers' and after he'd suggested that a deal was going to happen soon, Mitch concurred sagely and observed, 'The hourglass is ticking'. This bloke is profoundly naff.

Never heard of him.

Lucky boy. Imagine Joe Swash, crossed with Ian Wright, suffering from concussion. That's him.

That sounds grim.

That sounds grim.

Apparently he started out as a 'bedroom vlogger' and was then picked up by TS when it noticed he had lots of followers. That seems to be how new broadcasters are selected these days. You can be utter shite but if you have enough YouTube followers, here's a contract. Mitch's interview technique is to waffle away in his strange cod-Framaican accent, and then say, 'What are your foughts?' That's the cue for you to say stuff. That's about it. Oh yes, and if he gets your name right at the start of a three minute interview, he'll almost certainly get it wrong at the end. And TS must fink he's so trendy, like, they keep him off Clips of the Week, even though he makes so many ridiculous errors each week he makes Mike Parry seem like Walter Cronkite.
