Matt Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 :crylaugh: What a shite programme?! Have watched it in the past but watching it tonight and it better (or worse...Depends how you look at it) than the Radio Leicester Phone-In. Joe Blogs from Newcastle - Chelsea Fan - "Ah why is the final in Moscow? It should be decided once they know who's in the final...Now everyones got to travel abroad" Gary Newbon - "So did you go tonight what did you think?" The "Chelsea fan" - "Nah not gone at all this season...or ever infact, but I just think it's pathetic the location of the final was decided months ago" (That wasn't a proper conversation that been on this show but it might aswell have been, there have been several similar conversations) Oh yeah there we 2 "die-hard" Chelsea fans texted in from Manchester who have been to an amazing 2 Chelsea games this season..."Die-hard" ah?! Some of the "fans" on the programme are unbelievable and some of the topics are very funny, having said that I don't think I can watch much more of it.
The Reverend Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 I like watching it. I like Gary Newbon. He knows when the callers aint got a clue and usually ends up taking the piss out of them in some sly way, which i like.
Tommy G Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 I like watching it. I like Gary Newbon. He knows when the callers aint got a clue and usually ends up taking the piss out of them in some sly way, which i like. The man certainly is a ledgend, love him. As an aside will you become to the FT game dec? Surely as a spectator at least! Should be some good banter
Finchy Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 Just about everyone who rings that show up is a glory supporter. A typical caller to that show... Ranjit from Exeter - Liverpool fan. or Dave from Luton - Man U fan. And they're ALWAYS Man U, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs fans. Isn't Gary Newborn a City fan? I bet he's just begging for one of us to ring up and talk about Leicester with him .
Bert Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 Who cares. Really? Let them support who they like, they'll never have the real feelings of supporting a club like we will. If they're happy sitting in their armchair supporting their team, then so be it. They mustn't care about "their club" that much.
The Reverend Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 The man certainly is a ledgend, love him. As an aside will you become to the FT game dec? Surely as a spectator at least! Should be some good banter To be fair mate, i've hardly taaken much notice of when it is and that. Suppose i'll have to have a gander at the thread Just about everyone who rings that show up is a glory supporter. A typical caller to that show... Ranjit from Exeter - Liverpool fan. or Dave from Luton - Man U fan. And they're ALWAYS Man U, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs fans. Isn't Gary Newborn a City fan? I bet he's just begging for one of us to ring up and talk about Leicester with him . Proper fans lol
Raj Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 I like watching it. I like Gary Newbon. He knows when the callers aint got a clue and usually ends up taking the piss out of them in some sly way, which i like. I have had a piss next to gary newbon. It was at The Walkers when i was in a Corp Box. He is noDion Dublin....put it that way!!!
Fox You Forest Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 Makes me laugh when someone rings in and mentions a point thats already been raised or they have a really crap point its either Newbon or Geoff Shreeves sometimes make one up and the caller tries to take credit fot it and goes along with it like he said it
Tommeh Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 Newbon is a city fan and doesn't have a clue like the majority. Jeff Shreeves is much better. Football phone ins are the sort of things you listen to not watch. How you can sit there and watch it I'll never know. Having it on in the background however is ok. Poor show though, they only really ever talk about the big clubs although it's not really the shows fault as the fans of those clubs are the only 1's that phone in
Fox You Forest Posted 30 April 2008 Posted 30 April 2008 I dont mind watching when Claridge is on he never holds back and says how he see's unlike Beagrie (sp?) Barton and co.
Tabou Posted 1 May 2008 Posted 1 May 2008 I have had a piss next to gary newbon.It was at The Walkers when i was in a Corp Box. He is noDion Dublin....put it that way!!! Don't let The Singh hear you say that, he will go all mental on your ass ...
Simi Posted 1 May 2008 Posted 1 May 2008 I find the whole show cringe-worthy. The bias towards the big clubs is absolutely unreal and the glorification on the Premier League is sickening. None of them are interested in talk on anything other than the Prem. Any talk of anti-top 4 is thrown away right away.
Dr The Singh Posted 1 May 2008 Posted 1 May 2008 Don't let The Singh hear you say that, he will go all mental on your ass ... But , i bet you would prefer to go mental on his ass! PERSONAL NOTE: Don't go for a wee when Raj is around!!!
Corky Posted 1 May 2008 Posted 1 May 2008 I've texted in to that show a couple of times, and with Gary Newbon presenting it, you would have thought he'd want to talk about his club. But no, they don't get read out. I much prefer 606.

But no, they don't get read out.I much prefer 606. Because we're not in the Prem, therefore the mass audience that watch it (Man U fans from Luton) don't care.
lavrentis Posted 1 May 2008 Posted 1 May 2008 The best bit about the show is the facts they show in the ad breaks.

Loads of fans of smaller clubs probably ring in, hoping to get on.

Really, really hate it and all the muppets who phone up, same with some of the radio ones on a saturday evening coming back from the games. At least their are some actual fans on them, even if half of them are tits. I'm sure they are not, it's just that the producers would prefer them to talk about the bigger clubs so more people would watch it. Loads of fans of smaller clubs probably ring in, hoping to get on. Agreed as well...Doing A level research into this kinda thing...
