[Albion] Andy Jacobs TalkSport rant about Brighton (and their fans)

[SUIYHP]

That’s quite funny. Chelsea have been played like an absolute fiddle and their fans are suffering. They needed to be brought down a peg or two.

Never got the attraction of that bloke. Hawksbee is a comedy writer and can be funny but Jacobs just seems to offer the grumpy old man schtick and terrible puns. Summed up by the fact he has a season ticket at Brentford as well as Chelsea. I had not listened for 12 or so years, listened again for a month or two since my iPod packed up and their show hasn't changed in all that time. I can handle the show in the small doses I listen to when going to lunch but couldn't manage more than 10 minutes.

As a regular listener he’s more angry at his Chelsea than anything else, he hates Potter with a passion

To be honest, I've enjoyed some of his rantings about Potter. It's largely how I felt watching his stunted, emotionally repressed football. For all this talk about him being emotionally intelligent, he was never able to get as much out of the individuals as Roberto De Zerbi has done in the last month. It's an incredible turnaround from a team who could not score goals, were not a threat for 80 of the 90 minutes and every pundit said the same thing, "lovely side to watch, great on the ball, won't score enough goals".

They're not saying that any more.

 

[Springal]

Thought it was quite funny, and he had the piss taken out of him for a long time afterwards

Agreed, there’s some very sensitive, humourless so and so’s on here !

 

[The Fits]

He's never struck me as football supporter. I just don't think he really is. Just a gobshite.

 

[highflyer]

Pure panto and quite funny actually.

Not sure there is anyone on this thread who took it as anything other than funny though is there?

Oh shit, a Liverpool 'fan' from Plymouth thinks we will be relegation fodder next season in the replies. We are finished.

Sadly for the rest of the football world, since Potter/Cuckoo, they've spent a further £100m's on some of the best players in the game.

Purely through this literally world-record breaking spend, they'll win far more games and likely trophies. Giving them the last laugh.

NSC will revert to seldom talking about Chelsea. Threads/posts criticising the finances/immorality of Chelsea (pre Potter), Newcastle and ManC were uncommon. There's the occasional poster around who tackles these issues @studio150

 

[brighton_tom]

Anyone would think we’ve forced other teams to buy our players…

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Haha, El Pres in the comments...... As a occasional guest on the show and a Brighton fan I don’t think I’m going to be invited onto H&J again

Just when things were going so well. FFS.

 

[amexer]

I did like his comment Mitoma is latest member of the passing through eleven

Do you think in an alternative universe, there's a Plymouth fan from Liverpool, thinking.......

Andy Jacobs is an elitist cock, of the highest order. I remember his rant years ago, that the Fa Cup should be seeded so teams, like Wigan, Portsmouth, Millwall etc should never reach the final, as it devalues the comp and people only want to see the top 6 in finals....Total prat, as its exactly the opposite that makes the Fa Cup special.

 

[Brighton Lines]

I thought it was funny. Love a little rant me.

 

[Farehamseagull]

We are quite arrogant, why wouldn’t we be?!

 

[nicko31]

Just tabloid radio, not to be taken seriously

 

[dejavuatbtn]

It just amazes me that clubs think that any player can automatically swap clubs and immediately slot into another team structure and hit the ground running. Cuc and Buss proved to be decent players with us. It’s not their fault that their new clubs can’t get them integrated.
