I love Talksport. Lots of cheerful banter about sports, mainly football but they also have good coverage of boxing, cricket and rugby. My favourite presenters are Charlie Baker (funny guy), Ally McCoi... See more

Drive Time is so boring

We always listen to Drive Time when having our tea but Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent have ruined the show between them. Andy announces the phone number and invites people to phone in but they talk so much rubbish between themselves that there’s hardly any time for phone calls. It’s like listening to two men arguing in a pub and talking about what they had for breakfast or something just as boring. They go on and on about nothing. We usually switch off. Get rid of these two and bring back Adrian and Darren Gough. They were so entertaining.

I listen to talk sport mainly early…

I listen to talk sport mainly early mornings must say the why does gabby agbongler excuse spelling run Man Utd down so much. I get he played for villa but he doesn’t now & he’s a presenter on the radio. So should talk normal about every team. Also Charlie baker is rubbish on the radio. Not funny at all.

I just had to endure Paul Ross from 3am…

I just had to endure Paul Ross from 3am to 4.40 am thinking he's a virgin gold DJ playing old dated records from the 50s 60s 70s if he wants to play music get him off Talk sport and stick him on virgin gold music. He's been doing the nighttime show for too long he's monotonous boring and repetitive, get someone with a modern outlook with fresh ideas please

Annoying Talksport,

Talk sport is becoming so annoying these days and should change the morning programme to Scottish FM,
Ally MaCoist, with his childish false laugh is so annoying,
Agbonlahor, is so droning and tedious to listen too,
Jeff Stelling, very questionable????,
Adrian Durham, is so pompous and condescending he’s just annoying,
Rushden and Baker at 10am on a Saturday is the worst ever radio programme, Shout, Shout,Shout,
Jim Boring White every day at 1pm would not have a show if it wasn’t for the utter class of Mr Simon Jordan,
Hawksbee and Jacobs, with that so called comedian Baker, well well well, so terrible,
The two Clowns at 10pm, O,Hara has an irritating voice and an ignorant attitude, and the other clown that’s shouts has anyone seen whoever at the start of the programme, again so annoying.
How ever the good news is drive with Goldstein and Bent worth a listen on the way to work, Goldstein can be irritating but Bent pulls him into line.
Alan Brazil is funny and old school class but needs to get rid of his Scottish counterparts, they are ruining his programme.

Needless to say I’m no longer a fan of Talksport taking the above into account

Miserable boring presenters

I rarely listen now. Been a fan of talksport for many years but wow miserable and arrogant presenters pushing me, messrs stelling, agbonglahor, Goldstein, Jacobs and the oh so boring Jim White. Radio is meant to be fun and entertaining with the above it's a mix of moaning old men, presenters who are arrogant and unpleasant. Wow this station needs a review of presenters who make you laugh ala mcoist and Brazil.

I love Talksport

I love Talksport. Lots of cheerful banter about sports, mainly football but they also have good coverage of boxing, cricket and rugby. My favourite presenters are Charlie Baker (funny guy), Ally McCoist, Barry Glendenning, Siobhan Ahern and Darren Bent. The Peterborough FC owner Darragh MacAnthony comes on from time to time, and has interesting things to say. If you work from home, it's a good station to have on in the background. Simon Jordan is good value, but I just wish he showed more respect to the legends Danny Mills and Martin Keown.

Cricket commentary

Cricket commentary. How long after tuning in do we to wait for he score. Endless adverts then someone realises....better tell the listeners what's happening. Aggers and Tuffers el al....your jobs are safe.

Please replace Charlie Baker with Perty…

Please replace Charlie Baker with Perry Groves for Tuesday and Thursday. Baker is awful, very annoying, and has a profession of comedian. Well I certainly won't be watching his live show. There is nothing funny about him whatsoever

Adrian Durham is a buffoon…

Adrian Durham is a buffoon and total liability to talksport football coverage. He turns what should be a top program into something that no genuine football fan can relate to. He's a pompous, flippant windbag with no understanding of the game. If you love football, listen to a different Chanel.

Just another male dominated media outlet full of misogyny

This morning I caught a bit of the darragh and Jim white show in the car. They were talked about the gender boxing “row”.

I am incredibly disgusted at Darragh and Jim’s comments, jumping on the bandwagon of hate towards these sportswomen. They do not have the scientific knowledge to back up what they are saying. The IBA are very questionable in terms of their rules, testing and witch hunt here. But talkSPORT have joined in. Born a woman lives as a woman is a woman until Darragh (a man!) publicly decides to de gender and refer to the sportswomen as “people” in a tone of voice that conveys questioning if not disgust. And questioning their looks? excuse me!!! Misogyny at its finest.

Chromosomal abnormalities are very personal health/medical matters. I doubt any of your presenters have the medical knowledge to understand it. You have directly fuelled misogyny here, I can see on the socials many men calling these poor sportswomen men and being abusive. It’s disgusting. You should be doing better. So much better. Yes discuss the rules and whether there needs to be stricter rules particularly a need for unity amongst the different boards turning it into a further which hunt and not to call them women is down right cruel and abusive.

Born a woman. Lives as a woman. Has a medical condition. Gets questioned by loads of men on their looks and other things they have zero knowledge of?? Does not deserve this abuse and misogyny.

Darragh thinks he was brave to say what he did saying loads of people wouldn’t have the guts. Brave misogyny and abuse is still just that. Abuse

Do better
