Agreed. I find Jordan frustratingly knowledgeable and persuasive. White is just full of clichés and as for Trevor Sinclair (different programme) I find him incredibly big headed and taking reflective glory for the most obscure things (today I heard him say the Willie Donachie had one told him that when they were apprentices he knew that one day TS would score a wonder over head kick goal!)

Exactly the same, I could never stand him before, thought he was a total prick, but have over time really come to admire his intelligence and 'say it how it is', directness. He talks a lot of sense, and I often agree with him
White, Jordan and Danny Murphy are all so different, but compliment each other.
Do you mean that White sucks up to everyone??

Hes not really the opinions guy is he, just the guy steering the conversations between the others who have the opinions. He doesn't bother me tbh.

Always been a TS listener but struggling these days. White and Jordan mid mornings is just about the only things I enjoy now. Bring back The Two Mikes.
I like him.
But I rarely listen, only because I forget he’s on. Always a great show when a club’s in crisis or they keep making transfer blunders (Spuds, ManUre, Everton).
He reveals all the shenanigans in an unscrupulous sport eg agents.
Plus he calls it early and correctly on subjects such as Solskjaer being shit, when the rest of the football were in silly reverence.

Except the excellent Danny Murphy.
When he talks, Jordan actually shuts up (a miracle in itself), bowing to his knowledge of the sport itself.

100% agree with you. I think he's superb and actually don't think he's argumentative either - it just seems that way because he challenges the non-comments by 90% of other pundits. He talks so much sense and is so refreshing. He is also complementary about the Albion as well.
I listen to him every day now on Talksport. Not a huge fan of Jim White - enjoyed it more when Natalie Sawyer covered for him the other week.

Expand…this is interesting, Albion fans praising Jordan and a Palace fan turns up who seems to want to grind an axe…I think?
I think I may have an idea why though

Thick ****, using words he doesn't understand, hilariously out of context.

B....You can help by going to a Palace board and ( hopefully) never returning.

I’d love to but I fear the OP finds my appearance on his thread to be unwelcome so I best not continue.
Maybe next time he posts that he’s standing by waiting for the Jordan haters he might make it clear that opinions of palace fans aren’t welcome. Bizarre on a topic such as this but it’s his bubble.

Agree about Jordan, he provides a great insight into what goes on behind the scenes, his first hand accounts on agents, transfers, FA, PFA are always really interesting.

What I generally do when WFH is just switch on the smart TV and put it on YouTube. Whenever the ads / traffic / news etc comes on, it breaks to blissful.....silence. Till the show resumes. Ideal.
As for Jordan, he clearly loves the sound of his own voice and if he was an ice cream he'd eat himself. But he knows football, and football finance inside out, and doesn't bother to filter his views. It makes for very good radio, because he cuts through all the bullshit and 'tells it how it is'. Annoyingly he's nearly always bang on the money. Its unfortunate that he's lumbered with the SUPREME sycophant Jim Shite, who feverishly RIMS just about everyone he speaks to, but I like how Jordan takes the piss out of him.
Its pretty much all I listen to on TS as it fits in with my morning work routine, a bit of background. Max and Barry are good on Sundays as well, but the rest of it...nah.
BTW, Jordans book Be Careful What You Wish For is a cracking read.

Has there been an official line on why they went their separate ways / fell out?
Been listening to the back catalogue recently and it works!
