Well they've had their first week. What do you think?

I've listened on and off every day this week and think they're great - slick, seamless and professional.

I like all the interviews with Managers and ex players and particularly enjoyed their chat with Gary Speed the Wales Manager. I think good times for Wales are just around the corner with the likes of Bale, Ramsay and Bellamy, if he stays fit.
Also the reminiscing with the great Frank Mclintock and good to hear his thoughts and views. Was really pleased to hear of the player he found the hardest to defend against, and not surprised he said George Best.

I never did see much of Keyes and Gray on Sky TV so can't really comment, but I think they are perfect for Radio.
It's as if they've been there for years, and much prefer their format compared to Durham and co with their continual shouting and arguing all the time.

What do you think guys?

They're ok but I really liked Parry and Graham, their slagging eachother off and irreverent conversations on how to make tea properly or how to write a love letter and such things, although a bit overcooked, used to make me laugh, Gray and Keys aren't remotely humorous.
Gray and Keys are just football, Talksport is better when they diversify a bit.
Where is Parry now?

It's all about opinions isn't it?

For me I'd had a belly full of Parry and Graham and so find Keyes and Gray a breath of fresh air. Don't get me wrong, Mike Parry at one time was Talksport, it was mostly his drive and enthusiasm that helped to make Talksport what it is today. His handling of the Twin Towers disaster was truly phenomenal. But things move on.

For me there is a place for serious discussion on football and sport, and the fun part comes from Brazil and Irani in the morning, with the comedy of Hawksbee and Jacobs in the afternoon.

Don't know what Mike Parry is doing now but I'm sure he has something lined up.

:cool:

mike parry spoke the most guff i have ever heard in my life, when someone did this or that he had done it more times and better,he was funny tho,
according to website he was having contactual disagreements since the world cup and now has gone to 5 live.
keys and grey are good, i am wondering when the gonna get the female assistant ref on?
 
Keyes is a bit of a fifth wheel but Andy Gray contributes a lot. Dont like talkshi*e that much but can see myself tuning in more often to this show in future.
