I know hes ex Palace and I should dislike him........but this guy has got me hooked on Talksport in the mornings...

I love his argumentative approach.....how he can work with Jim White though?



Stand by for the Simon Jordan haters.

Just add Savage and Chris Sutton in the mix and you have a wining team.

I don't listen to that station but I have heard Jordan in the past and agree with you.

If you like listening to him and Talksport you'll love hitting yourself in the face with a frying pan

Not me - I'm with you - slightly annoyingly find myself agreeing with his views much of the time. White is an absolute bell though, does nothing but big himself up and interrupt unnecessarily.

I thought Talksport was 55 mins of adverts per hour, then 5 mins of footy talk?

Jordan talks sense, sticks in my craw to admit it though. So does Keown but White is just an irritating noise

I listen to TalkSport occasionally and find Simon Jordan ok too - a lot of what he says seems the kind of common sense that's too often overlooked by TalkSport in the rush to controversy. He's also regularly praised what's going on at Brighton and a couple of weeks ago was singing the praises of Graham Potter for the way he rejected speculation about the Everton job and saying most managers don't have such integrity, so he's got a bit more of an objective angle on a lot of the stories than some of their other presenters who can view things through the colours of their clubs first.

He's always complimentary about us - usually jokes about how it hurts to say so though

No, Talksport is that annoying radio station played by the sort of cabbies who "support" Brighton but would rather spend Saturday in their Sherbert listening to adverts and taking Wilma back to Hollingbury from the shops.

Actually, I think I've partially agreed with you.

That's not bad. 18 words in.

You may as well have read the other 16 as you'd done most of the hard work.

I'm not a talksport defender but in this case your generic comment about this show is inaccurate.

The show Jordan is on has mostly been discussing the situation at Derby (covered really well), Everton's manager search and the relegation battle in recent times.

Jordan speaks A LOT about us and how we conduct our business.

I listen to this show and the Rushden/Baker show on saturday mornings which I find entertaining. The joy of smart speakers is, when an ad comes on, just ask the speaker to play something else for a few mins.

I listen to it most mornings and find myself agreeing with what he says. Palace or not, if some one is speaking sense and is consistent with what they say, then they are ok in my book.

I don't mind TalkSport it's preferable to radio 5 IMO. At least people are allowed to have an opinion on there even if it is daft and just trying to be confrontational to provoke debate. Huge big six bias on there but that is hardly surprising given they have the biggest fan bases and they've got ad slots to sell.

As for Jordan he does talk a lot of sense when he's not reminding everyone he was once a chairman of a premier league team.......which is every other sentence.
