& my man Murray, who is No1 & will be SPOTY ... & will be Sir Andy shortly, ? Wot has you're lot got tae look forward to in 2017 ?
I hugely respect Andy Murray, but I was thinking about this and I sort of think that Jamie Vardy deserves it. Just because what he did was so unlikely. Murray is amazing, but he's already won it twice and I'm sure he's going to win more Grand Slams and Wimbledon titles and will be a contender for SPOTY again next year.

Having said that, Murray is 1/7 to win it and it will be thoroughly deserved when he does!

Odd to see that Andy Jacobs was doing The Warm-Up today with Max Rushden. Was that a last minute arrangement or had it been planned for a while?

The Two Mikes are doing a live show in Glasgow tonight, so it's almost certainly something that's been done with at least a bit of notice.

Listened to the latest Clips of the Week podcast and found the compilation of Jim White saying "Roland Duchâtelet" absolutely hilarious.

Surely, surely, surely they exaggerated it, because he couldn't possibly have said it that frequently, could he? Either way, I found it ridiculously funny. Perhaps more so than it actually was.

The one and only time I've listened to the whole of Jim White's show was when they had Katrien Meire on and he did seem to mention "Roland Duchâtelet" like a million times. It got old and annoying very quickly. Was more amusing on COTW though.

The guy behind the glass on the dump button playing music tracks with Way making recollections of them going out on the pi$$ with Tony Adams to a dog track in Romford. Wonderful stuff.

Alan giving us the top of the Prem fixtures again.


Last bit is off-topic for Jim so is enclosed in a spoiler.

Spoiler



Only what I've read in the papers, think Villa are interested too. I don't particularly rate him. Considering we score **** all, don't think Negredo scored in 11 and Rhodes still couldn't get a game, which says it all. Not really impressed here, pretty sure he's on a fairly big wage too. You're welcome to him He's a proven Championship striker.

Thanks. I guess they decided to get the Sunday Warm-Up line-up in in the absence of the Mikes, although Barry Glendenning usually covers football for The Observer on Saturdays, so with Andy Jacobs being a pal of Max Rushden and with Chelsea being away (albeit still in London at Crystal Palace) they gave him a call instead.

Max is often the regular sub on H&J when Paul Hawksbee is away, so I suppose this makes sense, it's just funny to hear Andy on at the weekend. I know he has presented the odd weekend show during World Cups and Euros and once hosted seasonal cricket shows what must be the best part of a decade ago now, but during the domestic football season you don't expect to hear him outside of the weekday 1-4pm slot.

Ray Parlour is driving me mad.

Not sure how much longer I can take any of the following:

Every other sentence starting with "the fing is Al...."

Asking a guest a leading question then jumping in after 5 seconds to offer his own opinion before the guest has even had a chance to construct a response

Speaking over everybody else whether it's Mr Brazil or guests

Constant references to The Rose pub, surely a fictional boozer in East London which sounds like a terrible night out, littered with ex-pros watching the 3pm kick offs on dodgy streams

Ray does talk to much, in fact Brazil struggles to get a word in sometimes, you can hear him in the background trying to force an opening.
Brazil likes Ray, he is a drinking partner the first he has had since Ronnie so Ray is there to stay.
I wish they would take the fixture list off of Brazil, it has got to be an obsession with him now, any team that's mentioned out come the next load of fixtures & we're not half way through the season yet.

He's absolutely the right level of broadcaster for talkSPORT, unable to speak properly, full of premier league claptrap, loves his booze, loves his gambling and knows how to keep onside with his master to keep in the job, expect a long stint of the same old same old for the foreseeable future I'm afraid.

Spot on Billy. The occasional club level seat at The Emirates, a trip to the nags, an invite out with The Lads down at The Rose.

I feel a bit sorry for Alan sometimes. Has the feel of the old boy who's humored by those who do well out of his patronage. Then I remember he probably gets paid a fortune for turning up (sometimes) and reading out loud whatever is printed on the back pages.

I don't feel a bit sorry for him but he's' been for there for years so TS obviously consider that he's fit for some purpose or other. Personally I cannot get past how he spoke to Sandy Warr live on the air and his take (again live on the air) when it comes to the subjects of suicide and depression. I don't care how many gutters he ends up lying in, his choice, it's the lack of humanity that does it for me, and it seems like he is proud about being like this.

Olly Murs (born in Witham, Essex) and Andy Goldstein (born and bred in the East End of London) pick their fantasy Manchester United team of all-time, with the help of some very special celebrity guests. Don't miss it on Christmas Eve.

What a shame, I'm busy.

Me too.
Watching my tea towel dry on the radiator certainly takes precedence over listening to that

Think its called scraping the barrel?

I bet TS loved Arsenal losing twice in a week and Ozil not turning up..

Chelsea 11 wins in a row and 9 points clear - really the "most competitive league in the world"?

Looking more predictable with the top teams all at the top and the half decent sides in the middle.

Bottom 2 look a mess and Sunderland will probably stay up with Burnley going down.

With Arsenal losing two consecutive games, that'll be TS's output covered until Boxing Day at least!

I haven't listened to TS for ages, but I'm listening now because they're talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, although Durham has threatened to switch it back to Arsenal after 5!

Some things never change!

That's a pity I shall be putting everything on hold that day so I don't miss a single second of it, e.g. any last minute Christmas shopping abandoned, various jobs that needed doing around the house put off and our now traditional family visit of the grandchildren cancelled [pity about the kids presents this year but this is far more important I am sure they will understand]

Yes, as always from the earth's biggest and best radio station inventive, pioneering and groundbreaking stuff.
