Slagging off moyles in the mirror today. Even though hes a red sh*te fan usually he talks sense (more than tony parsons who only talks bout staying out of the euro) but his piece today is just lazy. i bet most on here could guess what it says without reading it.

I bought the Sun yesterday expecting there to be loads on it, but there was only a little paragraph at the side of one of the pages.

If you cant read Reade's story - then here is the words:

RADIO 1 bosses believer they're going to halt the listener fall-out by letting Chris Moyles take over from Sara Cox on their prized breakfast show.

Bizarre. How can swapping one breathless, self-obsessed, over-grown student banging on about the hangover they picked up at some D-List party the night before for an even grosser male version, some how be a turn-on?

Moyles has only ever been a poor man's Chris Evans. Which by definition must today leave him undeerneath the arches, burping cider fumes on to a whippet. His potty-mouth malcontent act was funny for about five minutes but, sadly, he took that fame as proof he was the voice of disenchated youth. Then brutally found out that he wasn't even when his telly show proved as disastrous as his diets. It was car-crash TV. Without the rubberneckers.

From what I can work out, Moyles has three "talents". He draws false laugther from sycophantic sidekicks by shouting synonyms for arse, fart, poo, fanny and willy.

He bangs on about dominating "hilarious" pub conversations with mates whose names all end in "ers", remembering to pepper his boring tales with Leeds United references to maintain northern street-cred. And he bullies mid-life crisis-suffering Radio 1 producers into allowing only half-a-dozen records to interrupt his daily three-hour mathon. Because they think he's "dangerous".

Sure. About as dangerous as Jennie Bond. And more dated.

Can't argue with that.

I can't ever remembering him saying 'fanny'. Some people just don't get it. Also how is Moyles a poor man's Chris Evans. Evans just used to spend all show talking about what he drunk at the weekend or how he was looking forward to this weekend whilst his cronies sucked up to him.

daily mirror - their readership is sinking like the titanic. who cares about them, if they dont buck up, they wont be here in 3 years. Though Moyles will.

Looks like Moyles is more popular with the high brow types now, this is from today's Guardian:

The Guardian wrote:[Reasons to replace Cox] Chris Moyles is better than her. Cox is foxier than Moyles, sure, but that doesn't play so well on radio. I don't say that with an evil misogynist agenda. He's just a funny guy.

I agree with you about the Sun after what they did to the Striker strip. Has anyone seen the Striker comics?

Every paper seems to claim to be newspaper of the year. Best burning newspaper of the year?

The Daily Mirror used to be better than it is and out of habit people (including me) still buy it. Although I do think it is the lesser of the evils that are the other papers.

If you want an unbiased view of the world do not buy a newspaper, basically. Even in the 'neutral' broadsheets you will find biased views on a lot of the stories they report on.

Brian Reade is a twat, today he was writing about the difference between football and rugby. Rugby is a clean honest sport and players would never strike and all that bollocks. and the football is full of primadonnas loudmouths and cheats and England rugby players are better than footy players. Bollocks
Englands Rugby players threatened to strike last year because of money, but they(and i stress).they aren't prima-donnas. Loudmouths? Has Joe Cole or David Beckham or even Robbie Savage evr been told off for publicly calling an opponent a "Lardarse" no Austin healy has. Danny Grewcock wasn't a cheat when he battered a fellow England team mate in a game was he? And Rio Ferdinand failed to produce urine for a drug test but he didn't go bragging to undercover journalists about doing cocain like the (then)England captain Lawrence Dalagliogliaglio.
See Reade you tosser stick that in your column you idiot and Oliver Holt can go and lick his own balls too

oliver holt talks a lot of sense but i agree with all the points on that reade article. once again hes mis-infomed and lazy. i think this delusion is affection all red sh*te fans at the moment.

Oliver Holt puts a good point across in his column but when he is on Jimmys Hills sunday supplement he comes across as someone who isn't open to hearing other peples opinions and truly believes his opinion is right. And Woolnough is a fence sitter.

he is a bit posh an aloof but even when i dont agree with him his writing is good. i wouldnt watch anything with jimmy hill anway...

henry winter is an arse too. he cant see anything beyond highbury....

#124408
He also appears on Jimmy Hill maybe the Highbury thing is a sky thing because Kenny Sampson, Frank McLintock and Charlie Nicholas also can't see past Highbury. Alan Mullary is brilliant

While we're on journalists that Kevin O'Sullivan seems to be the most arrogant man I've ever heard. He was always on a program called Tabloid Tales or something, fronted by none other than his guv'nor Piers Morgan (who I think puts his point over well) and O'Sullivan was just a twat, never accepted anything people said that contradicted him - it was like 'no she's lying.' Trouble is I think being arrogant is probably a requirement for journalism because of the type of work involved.

Good to know, thanks!
