Exactly.

Totally unacceptable excuse for not attending court.

He was so drunk he was weaving around on the road according to a witness.

He could have killed someone.

If he wants to go to rehab fine but he has to attend court for his actions.

He should be further punished for non attendance imo.


Guaranteed promotion at talkSPORT I'd have thought.

The two mikes are the best thing on Talksport right now and there podcast ranking suggests that many feel the same way. I'm a massive fan and love the show.

HOWEVER: Not feel them on mid morning. Never have. Their natural place is the overnight gig where they are given more free reign and discuss the goings on of the day from sport to politics. There is something of the night about the two mikes and they are wasted in the rigid nature of the day time slots.
I must agree. I think they can hold their own on the mid-morning slot, but the overnight show is superb, a perfect mixture of sport, politics, tech and just plain weird, no wonder the podcast is by far the most popular. What about the idea of them doing say 3 overnight shows and then the breakfast shows or the warm up on the weekend?

Parry and Graham in the mid morn spot is the worst piece of scheduling since Gaunt had that job.
Parry shouting out from the start ( usually it is elderly people who are going deaf themselves that shout as Parry does) and Graham tries to match him so they seem like a pair of pensioners arguing in a corner of a pub that everyone else avoids.

Parry is tipping ManU to do great in the league and Chelsea to do badly and is so far into Jose that he is there with Alan Brazil and most of the Talksport staff.

Back to R5 (apart from politics) and LBC. BFN.
Talksport pundits and presenters are in love with Jose all the personal attacks on LVG last season because he dared challenge the media.

It seems that way. Let us hope that there is not another 'Dr Eva Carneiro' moment for our "hero" this season. He was so piss**ed that most people were speaking up for her that he went into a huge sulk which lasted for weeks, how dare anyone get more attention than him ..

Had to laugh at the mental torture Ray Parlour put himself through trying to work out when an evening kick off in China would be "live" over here.

Hearing Brazil and Parlour try to answer questions illustrates how thick they are , as are most of the staff at TS.

Parry told a tale about someone getting his shop blown up which prompted a round of guffaws from his companions.Are these yobbos oblivious to what they say and do?
(happened when Parry and Graham were on the Brazil show between 9.20-9.30 this morning).

Our old pal Beeky ( a decent person who used to get bullied endlessly by Brazil but stayed a gent) was on the "Parry Show" and sounded as if he was reporting from the bogs. I do like Graham Beecroft ( to give him his real name) though who was unusual at TS because he wasn't a n**head as 95% of the rest are.

At least ole porky Parry has got a bit of comic timing and a great ability to tell or relate a story or an event.

He can mangle the English lanuage like the rest of them but he can be funny(for a while).

Adrian Durham has somehow managed to have a pop at Arsene Wenger during the discussions relating to the [possible] appointment of Sam Allardyce as the next England manager. Cannot see the correlation myself.

I've lost all interest in the English national team, but even with that in mind have to say I found the choice of Allardyce disappointing.

Well they've all got their way, made the station unlistenable, even H&J have descended into BFS worship. Jacobs saying we've never tried someone like him before. We did, it was Graham Taylor, he turned a side that were semi-finalists in 1990 to not even qualifying in 94, Who will be Sam's Andy Sinton's, Carlton Palmer, Jeff Thomas or Tony Daley?

Oh and then there was Keegan and McLaren. People that believe playing more direct in International football are mad, we've tried it, we lose possesion constantly and don't get it back.

Yet I guess the calls will be it can't be any worse than that Iceland performance, but so would have any change, so it's not really an argument.

Allardyce is good at training donkey's England are a team of donkeys so he might at least get them to walk without falling over.

Brazil must be in sheer wonderland right now with Allardyce the new England boss. [Gee Whiz doesn't that indicate the sorry state of our national game if he's their top guy for the job and Brucie boy their second choice] Then there's wee Jose Mourinho at Man Utd, wee Brendan Rodgers Northern Ireland boss and wee Davie Moyes being tipped for Sunderland as Fat Sam's replacement.

Alan's pants must be wet through.

Naaa all our worries are now behind us with Big Sam in charge he'll add a bit of the old Brazil technique into it and be a mans man, get them all playing, we'll win the next three world cups and a couple of Euros under Sam that's why they're paying him sixteen million a month and he's worth every dollar.

Nothing wrong with Tony Daley! His heyday was before my time, but I've fond memories of his brief spell at Walsall (mainly because he was in the Saddlers team that beat that lot in old gold in the first of only two league victories over them in my lifetime - always worth mentioning ). From what I've seen of his Villa days, Daley was a skilful and pacey player who was a key member of a team that did very well in league and cup. In all honesty I'd rather see an exciting albeit unfashionable player who has done well at club level in the England team than some of the overhyped stars who can't even get into their own club sides who have been picked recently!

That being said, I'm disappointed by the decision to appoint Sam Allardyce as England manager. That's not so much because the style of football he plays, but his track record of the way in which he has assembled his teams since his Bolton days - he's a chequebook manager who goes out and buys the best players available to him, usually those from outside of the British Isles, in a cost effective manner. Which is fine at club level, but I don't feel prepares him at all well for the challenges of international management. I would have much preferred someone like Eddie Howe or Steve Bruce, who have built successful teams from the ground up calling upon mostly home-based players, many coming from within their club's youth system (in Bruce's case during the earlier stage of his management career up to and including his Birmingham tenure). That sort of approach is in my view much closer to what international management is like, particularly when you have limited options in some areas.

But if Sam moves away from an over-reliance on the same small group of English players from the six or seven fashionable Premier League "big clubs" and introduces some of less hyped candidates from less fashionable teams who consistently perform well domestically, that will be a notch in his favour in my book. I'm sick of seeing the same old players getting call-ups despite hardly ever playing on the basis of fleeting flashes of quality in days gone by.

BFS wouldn't get a sniff at a job in the top half of the PL.
Back to 4 4 2 and sticking it in the mixer and a big lad up front. Basically go back 30 years.
Still, what do I know? I was confident you mob were going to have a very good Euros.

Good grief it's wall to wall BIG SAM...............................

Big Brazil delighted with his appointment, which opens door for wee Davey Moyes to get the Sunderland job." Ah luv wee davey ter bits"
By the way, how many times has Brazil seen a team managed by BFUS play, since he hardly ever watches the top teams play so he can't see many of the bottom teams play which is where Sam spent most of his career? How can Al say BFUS is a good or bad manager??

Brazil,Parry,Cundy,Durham,Cund,Saggy are all in favour of Sam so what does that tell you? none of this bunch has a clue.

Switched over to 5live and heard a more balanced phone in re Sam rather than the screened phone ins that TS use to back their myopic view.

Yesterday Ashley Cole recommended Arsene Wenger for the England job saying Arsene knew how to win football matches.
Durham jumped on this with his usual nasty sarcasm saying how come he hasn't won the league for twelve years if he knew how to win matches. He then goes on to sing Big SAMs praises & shouts down anyone that phones in that doesn't agree. So Sam knows how to win games does he? If so why is he always fighting to save relegation while Wenger is always in the top four?.
I'll give Durham credit in the fact that he does research for his show, but he ruins it by letting personal feelings cloud his judgement.
I don't know if Allerdyce is the answer. I will keep supporting England because they are my country but I do think we have sunk to a new low if Sam is the best option.

Well I do remember Daley, and he wasn't really that skilful, for an International player, and not that sure Villa were an unfashionable club then, about a decade before they won the European Cup, oh and he played instead of Waddle who was POTY around then in England, and before had gotten Marseille to an European Cup final.

Seems a bit bizarre that we're discussing the merits of Tony Daley on the talkSPORT Chat thread! He only played seven times for England, most of these caps coming during a successful qualifying campaign, and was overlooked by Graham Taylor during the seasons when Aston Villa were Premier League runner-ups and Coca-Cola Cup winners. It's not his fault that Taylor (who I've never rated) omitted Chris Waddle and I'm not sure if he lost his place in the Euro 92 squad directly to Daley. Anyway, a seven-cap wonder is hardly in the same league as constantly selecting the man L'Equipe call chouchou d'Hodgson! I'd rather have an England manager who gives unfashionable players fleeting chances in friendlies and qualifiers to see who is cut out for international football than one that relies on the same bank of players and repeats the same mistakes over and over again. And to be brutally honest, I enjoyed Kevin Keegan's brief England run more than I did the predictable tedium we got under Roy Hodgson.
