Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

No problem. We can let them sit in on a recording of FW, via zoom maybe.

Don't take it too seriously. Don't get bogged down in tactics: whether Raphinha played on the left or the right - nobody cares. What did you like about what you saw over the weekend? Good luck fellas, I'll be tuning in.

Jacob - tell us about your goals. We want to hear about them. What were you thinking, how did you feel.

A bit of humour, ideally aimed at yourself: "My fuckup" etc.

Nobody cares about Balon D'Or.

Great stuff, lads.

Get introduction music and have the host introduce himself and the others. Who is everyone?

Tell us what team they are playing for and the context of the game. (2/3)

Thanks Tim and hats off to the Gator. First up, Ben + these lads have spoken more sense in 10 min 34sec than Guardian Football Weekly has in 20 years!

Well done them! They are coming for us and we are seriously running scared 👏

I love it but some (unsolicited) advice ... if you don't mind.

As an immigrant who has come over here, etc and so on, I support Gary Neville on this one.

He has infuriated and enraged all the right racists and media outlet gobshites, in a state of affairs which suggests every word he said was spot on.

As if Big Dunc as the special guest isn't enough, hearing Jamie Carragher say "Kerkez", "Gakpo" and "Chiesa" in the same sentence on MNF almost makes the extortionate monthly subscription to Sky worth it.

Hello Grok, Fritof here: "What is a Tranmere?"

2

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 13d

Semantic detail? Really? You actually thought Brewin was talking about the current Tranmere. Just the 30 years or so out of date 😂

I still have no idea what your point was, whatever era of Tranmere Rovers you were referring to. It is becoming abundantly clear that you don't either.

1 1

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 13d

You repeatedly dismissed a comparison that you obviously didn't understand as being "reductive".

You'll have to explain how this reinforces your point, let alone makes anyone involved seem more dimwitted than you.

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 13d

Tranmere might be in League Two now, but the comparison was with a team that straddled the turn of the millennium, played in the second tier and reached a League Cup final.

Hope that helps 😘

Yes. I'd like you to explain something ... anything. Just once, explain something - it would be a first.

"Yerra, yerra ... dem proper football min know nuthin about the cautious fella"

Will your explanation incorporate Pulis-esque "towels-near-multi-balls" on an Autumn day? 😂😂

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 14d

Agreed. You speak at tedious length about "lazy & reductive narratives", but i have yet to see you explain why any of those narratives you take exception to are lazy and/or reductive.

You routinely dismiss anyone who criticises anything Arteta does as a dinosaur, as if he's a visionary cult leader operating on a level so complex that only you and other brainwashed acolytes can understand his tactics. Not sure best placed to judge how others react to what he does.

1 1

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 15d

They've played the two teams widely perceived to be their main title rivals and have made no discernible effort to play either of them off the pitch. The outcome? One point from 6 and you criticising anyone who makes the very bland observation that they are as lacking in mental fortitude as expected

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 15d

Well quite apart from the fact Everton didn't score an equaliser, people judging Arteta by identical standards to Guardiola or Slot are delusional. Look at their records and look at his. 😂😂😂

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 15d

Liverpool were always going to win and I'd have been hugely confident Arsenal wouldn't, if that's what you're driving at

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 15d

I don't know what you mean.
