I heard Jordan a couple of times and actually thought he talked a bit of sense considering I wanted to dislike him

I think this was the 'monkeys writing Shakespeare' parallel - give some enough air time and the odds are that at some point they might say something sensible........................(I utilise the same principle with my NSC postings.)

Why on earth they put the 2 pricks on in the Saturday warm up slot is beyond me. Let them stay to Talk Radio, they know nothing about sport whatsoever. I used to listen to Talksport a fair bit, but I don't anymore. It is obsessed by three or four clubs and they spend the entire day talking about the same thing. Crisis at Chelsea, Crisis at Arsenal etc.... Tabloid journalism on the radio.

Each to their own I guess...I quite enjoy listening to some of the shows, in particular when they have journalists on who actually know what they're talking about and have insight into current sports (normally football) stories.
Sunday night they have a show with three sports journalists where they discuss the weekend's football which is good, then followed by Danny Kelly's "European Express" which is very informative.
Too many ads though on Talk Sport, disrupts the flow constantly

I'm not having that. The Two Mikes are heroes among men. Can't believe they have been shifted to Talk Radio.
It does have some good presenters and some are woeful. Used to avoid Brazil and Durham in the drive time slots as the first was clueless and the second desperate to be Howard Stern.
When Murdoch bought TS I stopped listening altogether.

Now that I agree with. I hardly ever bother listening live these days as it feels like 70% of the time you are listening to adverts for Vanarama. All about the podcasts.

2nd that haven't listened since Murdoch bought it. Tabloid radio but there is a market for it
The one thing I did learn from TS (every 12 minutes) is that the trade go to Selco.
and that is why the BBC is worth every penny, even if they do spunk my money on dubious experts.

Mike Parry surely is the worst of a bad lot. Just unlistenable noise.
Indeed, and as Michael Gove said last year, we've had enough of experts.
I'll be honest, I used to hate it but have come around to it of late. Brazil is a bit of a dinosaur, but is generally harmless enough, Kelly is decent and the Sunday night press pass is always pretty good too. On Durham, I used to hate him until I realised that he's just baiting people to call in, now I just find it funny how many bites he gets. Monday he did a whole show on how the Community Shield doesn't matter, and Arsenal fans fell for it hook, line ans sinker.
That said, there are some people I really can't stand. Jason Cundy is an absolute tool. Typical ex footballer that only knows about Chelsea and eff all else. Mick Quinn, see. Cundy but sub Chelsea for Liverpool/Newcastle. And the two Mikes. Literally, I turn on the radio and they're on and I'll turn it off immediately.

I'm in the minority I know but I cant stand Danny Kelly's high voice
Adrian Durham is just a wind up merchant who has a lot of knowledge, but just cant be taken seriously (plus the berk blocked me on Twitter for AGREEING with him)
Mike Parry is an embarrassment to his profession
Paul Hawksbee would be better without the out of touch Andy Jacobs

I agree. I'm not sure what Jacobs adds to that partnership.
He's up there with shite-stirrer Durham and the tyke drone of dimwit Gough.
