The only thing I like Gabby for is the Villa links, he bring us up more than any other pundit.

Without him I doubt we would ever be talked about, its very top 6 bias.
He gives your club a bad name with the absolute arse gravy he comes out with. There must be someone else you can call upon for representation. Bring back Andy Townsend??
 
Agbonlahor is the very worst that you can get on the radio , he just scraps in below O Hara

They are both awful and there for pure click bait purposes only

Tell us what you really think of him?

I often smirk when people suggest having ex players in the VAR booth, Imagine people like him in the VAR booth!!

He isn't employed for his tactical analysis. He's another box ticking exercise.

I think when they say that they don't mean to imply that being a player was the ONLY criteria. :LOL:
 
You are right, I will add Jamie O'Hara and, to my mind the worst, Gabby Agbonlahor. Just tries to court controversy to keep the focus on him. Not sure he adds anything to any show he is on.
O yeah, Gabby. Forgot about him. Another that winds me up in the football "analyst" world, like Collymore and Sutton (both not part of Talksport I don't think). I usually completely ignored Gabby anyway, as he is pointless. Although, when Casemiro got sent off, I overheard that he said Casemiro should have been arrested. Talk about being overdramatic. At least when some pundits are dramatic, even if you disagree with them, you can see that they are truly feeling those emotions (e.g. Keane saying Maguire and De Gea shouldn't be allowed on the bus home, or Carragher's reaction after Liverpool lost to Madrid). Whereas Gabby is just trying to be controversial for the hell of it. Was nice to hear McCoist's reaction to Gabby the following morning :)
 
If Ive learnt one thing this morning its that Im not missing much by not listening to Talksport :)

Sadly it is the pick of a bad bunch. Not a music fan in the morning and gone right off 5 Live breakfast and so it is Talksport on the days when I have not got a decent podcast to listen to.

This!

My go to pods are:
Rick Shiels
Bunkered
Fozcast
Peter Crouch (when on)
Football daily (5 live but a good show)

When I have no pods left its talk sport all the way for me!

The morning show with Laura Woods and Ally McCoist is good , and The drive show is ok at times , you just need to avoid Jim White and anything Cundy and OHare are involved with
