Bit 'arsh - the BEST thing about him his prep and effort is putting Fatso in a really shite light - Liam MUST make a change on that Brekky show.

He's been sailing a little close to squawking for me ...buhhrt...what I've heard so far I've liked. The Danny Murphy-Kath Merry combo worked well yesterday...much better than the usual Arsenal Screamer.

Bob Mills is a great guest presenter, it's a crime that he hasn't been seen on our screens since In Bed With Me Dinner

Agreed. Mills was hilarious this morning, actually taking the piss out of Murray.

Murray seems to divide opinion.

I listen every day hoping I'll warm to him but so far, no good.

I'm afraid I got fed up with the Usain Bolt love-in. These top guys are people ultimately and too much star struck behaviour is no good for anyone, including them, I reckon. What does all the fawning and over exaggerated laughter achieve?

At the Tennis Fantasy Camp I've talked about on here where the greats of the 70's attended, held at the Texas tennis ranch of H & J favourite, John Newcombe, there was a 'Suck-up' award given each year to the camper who was too nauseating in their attempts to disappear up the Legends' backsides.

Even though, in a way, the whole Camp was a 'Suck-Up, there were limits which the mainly Aussie stars just would not go beyond.

I think Murray has a narcisistic side to him too which for me, makes him OTT.

I was turning on and off when I got fed up with it but at one point in his interview with Bolt, instead of just asking a question, he went off on one of his usual over long preambles to a question ad actually said, 'I'm going to tell you what I think. I wrote about this the other day'.

Colin, we don't want to know what you think; Bolt is being interviewed so ask him the question.

Also, most of his questions were structured in a way that Bolt could only give one answer; although this is a trait that lots of the presenters have - 'You must be so pleased with that result?.....'Oh, yes, I'm so pleased'.

I saw Mills on the the Fighting Talk webcam on what turned out be Murray's last BBC appearance. To say he's filled out a bit would be understating it a little.

Did they let you keep the trophy after winning it three times, Tennisman? :lol:

Good one, Bas. :mrgreen:

I kept a very low profile, I assure you.

And there were plenty of others performing brilliantly in the stakes to get the award.

In fact, one year when waiting for the bus to take us to the airport, I asked Fred Stolle if he used the same grip for every stroke.

He looked at me and replied, 'You mean to tell me, you've been coming here 5 fuckin' years and you've only just noticed!'

I don't like Murray, I find him to be a cunt.

However, I have to say his show is a breath of fresh air. Keeps it fresh with his guest co-hosts rather than use the usual TS dullards (Quim, Pawa, Cunty or Matt Netherlands). He also seems to have insisted to put his own stamp on the show rather than sticking with a tired format.

I like the competition where a listener is offered the choice of three different bets and his interview with Harry Gregg the other week was superb

An all too familiar trait these days. For some strange reason people seem to turn to jelly when they see someone they have seen on a screen. It is sad.

I agree with you, Murray is a wanker.

Me too, he's so fucking up himself, 1st rule of interviewing, "let the interviewee speak", Murray can't help butting in and droning on, or as ever trying to crack his "hilarious" funnies.

The bits I've heard I thoroughly enjoyed. He appears not to take himself too seriously, which is always a plus in my book.

As for Murray meets ,I'd like to meet him in a dark alley with my Jacamo clothes wearing mates . I'm not sure whether their gay or not but that really isn't the point right now.

I like Danny Murphy.

Intelligent, has a nice dry sense of humour and doesn't act like a cunt.

Balances out Murray's hyperactive excesses.

The problem for talkSPORT is that the show makes the shows either side of it seem even flatter.

Colin Murray will never be better than H&J even though they are not as good as years back. In fact they have been good this week.

My mate is an actor and worked alongside Murphy in an episode of long forgotten police drama Merseybeat.He said he was a really cool bloke.

Best thing on the station. For the first time in as long as I can remember, someone has tried to do something different with a slot rather than just the same old tired routine. Thie thing that makes H&J so good for me is that neither one of them has 'played the game' and it's much better for it. At least Murrays show is trying to get away from exclusively ex-footballers as co-hosts and it's showing in the quality!
