PS: Sorry the dogging Dj in question is Stan Collymore.

I tell you who I do like on talksport. The Dogging Dj isn’t to everyones taste but he never sits on the fence (probably peering through a hole in it). He sticks by his guns if anyone dares to disagree, i’ve heard it get quite heated on his shows. Good on him, he got hold of Sharon Stone too which is about the best it gets in my book. Craig Burley is another who is never afraid to speak his mind although he maybe a bit hard for us down south to understand.

I’m bored of all the Alonso debate, he wanted to go so Rafa couldn’t do anything about it in the end. Yes he may have unsettled him wanting to bring in Barry but Barry let him down at the last minute opting for City. Most players are moved on when they want to move or are getting replaced. Alonso felt let down and Barry let down Rafa with a last minute change of heart (which he was entitled too). Everyon keeps banging on about why did Rafa let him go, well, the season before, Alonso wasn’t half as good as he was last term and I don’t blame Rafa for going for Barry who was superb. Aqualani is 3 weeks away from a start. I tick by my guns and say the Scousers will be in it come May as long as you know who keeps fit. Simples.

Drogba, I hate him but cannot disagree when he’s not diving about, still world class.

Bonzo, Legend, pure and simple.

Agree wholeheartedly about Bright. His Confederations Cup analysis was awful. I’m not looking forward to listening to him during the African Cup of Nations. Maybe I’ll just watch it with the sound down.

One co-commentator who is simply diabolical is Dave ‘Harry’ Bassett. I listened to him earlier in the season on football first covering the Hull Spurs game. He could not for the life of him pronounce Palacios. He kept saying Palio, and then went on to mistake players for each other. It was cringeworthy. As for Cascarino, you’re right James, it makes me angry to read such lazy journalism. He should step aside and let other more talented individuals take his place

Merson comes across as if he bunked off school one day and never went back. But you are right, he can be funny. I think Wise should stick to what he does best – taking cab rides and ending up in court.

I was thinking exactly that! Denis Wise is terrible. He is so unarticulate it’s a joke. Paul Merson is not the cleverest bloke but at least he’s funny!

I have been wondering for many a season now, just why I am paying the BBC to employ Bright. But let’s not stop there… Can anyone see the point in having Alan Shearer give analysis, or Steve Claridge as a pundit who has always belittled those views of those that pay to watch the game over his own.

But even worse than all those mentioned above is having to listen to Dennis Wise’s inarticulate comments and deafening pauses while covering Chelsea games in Europe for Sky Sports recently. There must be ex football players and real journalists pulling there hair out. It was so bad, I nearly put string around my teeth and pulled them out by closing the door on the sorry affair.
