talkSPORTS Own Goal

[gerrard]

talkSPORT have scored an unbelievable own goal, they are replacing Mike Graham and Alan Parry (Parry has apparently resigned) in their morning show (10-1) with Andy Gray and Richard Keys

whilst i found Parry annoying at times, himself and MG were an entertaining and good listen

i for one wont be tuning in anyway



Gray said: "I can't tell you how excited I am about joining the talkSPORT team. It's an ideal opportunity for Richard and me to do what we do best, and that's talk about sport."

Keys said: "This is the start of something new and exciting for Andy and myself. We are delighted to be joining the talkSPORT family and can't wait to get going."

some Mike'isms for your perusal


Have a National Guard made up of farmers armed with shotguns who could hunt down anyone who goes on a rampage with firearms.

Fit wing mirrors on racehorses to prevent collisions during a race.

Put ejector seats in Formula One cars.

Someone one day will complete the 100 metres track race in one second.

Professional golf tournaments should have transparent bullet proof protected walkways to prevent a golfer from being shot dead.

There should be shops that sell individual shoes for people with only one leg as it was unfair on them having to buy a pair.

Racing pigeons should sport "Colours" that would be representative of their owners so spectators would see who each pigeon belonged to. In order for the pigeon to win each trainer would have to sport a hat with a platform on it and wait at the finish line. For maximum effect the hat would be in the same colours as the pigeon and the pigeon that landed on the correct hat would win, to add to the fun spectators could go up in a plane and follow the race by having the plane fly alongside the pigeons.


People in the modern age are in general much taller from when football first started and soon we'll average 7ft in height so the height and width of football pitch goalposts should be increased in accordance.

Humans will soon have six fingers and an extra thumb on each hand due to our increasing use of computers.

Deploy helicopters to fly behind the runners in National Hunt races and scoop up any horse that has fallen or unseated its rider so the loose horses can’t interfere with the rest of the field.

Have double-decker buses ferrying passengers around the course at major golf tournaments.

Novice skiers should wear flashing blue lights on their heads so that experienced skiers can avoid them.

Any player playing the Williams sisters at Wimbledon should start a set up.

Every bath in every home in the country should be removed to save water.

Arsenal have never won the Champions League because they cannot play under floodlights.

Football managers should all wear bright luminous caps and run up and down the touchline during a match.

All dogs should wear nappies.

Football players should wear lead in their boots to slow them down.

Footballers should warm up throughout the half time interval.

Motorists should turn their engines off at the top of hills and freewheel down to save the cost of expensive petrol.

It is safer to drive around towns and cities in reverse gear in the snow.

parry & graham cover all subjects - not just sport. not sure if the gray/keys duo will be as entertaining,

[gonzales]

Parry was a legend, bad move ts

[gerrard]

and where will MG (mike graham) go? i like him too

[gonzales]

Talksports idea of sport is football, i didnt listen today cos you can only talk about Rooneys goal for so long so i listened to a local station instead, bring back MG & Porky

[craig johnson]

heard the show today for the 1st time.

Keys: Andy, who was the best keeper you played with?

Gray: Has to be Neville Southall.

Keys: And on the phone we have Neville Southall

Now that was a coincidence!!!
