Forde & Jon Richardson

[sjbarca]

Also this is Saturday, the premier day of the week. Both may see themselves filling in on other show's Colin Murray, H&J, Sports Bar etc too. Also yes from what I've seen of him I like Jon.

Mate you are fucking depressing me now, I wish Forde would fuck right off talksport and take his irritating mate Stuart Pearce with him??!!

[JW90]

God I can see it now, Forde and Pearce's Forest love-in show with special guests Kenny Snideburns and Bitter Birtles.

[great question]

They were both on H & J earlier , it was instantly irritating . It's a word that's rarely used to describe presenters on here in fact it may be the first time . The word? CUNTS.

talkSPORT can announce that Matt Forde and Jon Richardson will team up for talkSPORT weekend show The Warm Up (11am – 1pm), starting this Saturday.

Matt Forde and Jon Richardson will present the build up to talkSPORT’s live exclusive Premier League match every Saturday, and give a fan perspective of the weekend’s football action as well as a comedic take on the big sports stories of the week.

Matt Forde has been a talkSPORT presenter for over five years, and now also presents live show The Political Party with Matt Forde, which mixes topical stand-up and political debate. Award-winning comedian Jon Richardson is best known for being team captain on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and has completed several stand-up comedy tours and appeared on Have I Got News For You among others. The two also worked together Grows Up, a comedy show on Channel 4 last year.

Matt Forde said: “I’ve worked a lot with Jon and he’s an incredibly talented guy and I know that the talkSPORT audience will love him. Football is hugely exciting to our listeners and this is a great slot as people will be listening while they get ready to listen or go to the match. I’m really looking forward to it.”

Jon Richardson said: “I can’t wait to get back on the radio and Saturday mornings on talkSPORT with Matt is the perfect place. I'm not a natural optimist, but even I feel like anything is possible on a Saturday morning before the reality of 16:45 sets in and with it the autopsies and the blame.”

Liam Fisher, UTV National Radio Controller, said: “It’s great to have Matt and Jon together on the radio as they’re very in tune with our audience of football fans. talkSPORT has been leaning more towards mixing humour with sports content recently, and this has gone down very well with listeners.”

And a spokesperson for Billy said, "Thank fuck for off switches on radios so I will be able to switch it off on Saturday morning while it's being aired."

I forced myself to listen to 2 minutes of that; couldn't take any more.
Toe curling stuff.

Horrible.

[ccreds]

Good intro music and a good start by Matt and Jon.

[m4rkb]

Has he started cackling yet?

Saturday's Hawksbee and Jacobs?

I swelled with pride listening to the show this morning, simply divine.

Loved the Gary Kelly bit and if Fordeys impression of him doesn't make clips of the week I'll be astounded. Vintage Matt.

[Lou Grant]

You clearly don't understand what clips of the week is.

It's a good job he picked someone I had to google to do an impression of. It will stop a lot of people from realising it sounds nothing like him.

I'll defer judgment on the show until one of the less biased contributors has his say. Until then, I'll just presume it was utter trash filled with a load of prepubescent cackling.

[fattmaude]

So you're telling me you've never heard of Gary Kelly? Over 500 Premier League appearances and a Leeds United legend?

Get real

[kevin04]

Anyone mind his terrible impression of Miliband? The one and only time he's been on QT.

[ccreds]

Left me wanting more. Very satisfactory debut's and a good bit of business from Liam Fisher of talkSPORT/UTV.

[JimmyDee]

Well, I gave it a go.
Not as bad as I thought it would be, but that's damning with the faintest trace of praise. The first half-hour or so was spent:-
talking about themselves (which works if you know the presenters and like them, but didn't in my case), then there was a weird anagram quiz thing which was something they should have done before the show, as it probably only entertained them, and then they invited the listeners to send in their "Lewandowski" moments. Yeah, no chance of anyone just making stuff up
At that point I switched it off and went for a lie-down. It wasn't offensively bad, but not very good either. I'll listen again to see if they got over what may have been first-night nerves, but without much eager anticipation. To be fair, I thought JV's Warm-up was awful the first few weeks, and now I really miss it

[ccreds]

I'd buy them both a drink if I saw them.

They'd probably expect you to

[great question]

I heard a bit in the first 30 minutes and I was smugly satisfied that my cunts prediction was spot on . The next bit I heard they were talking about Cloughie and Motson which was not so bad but they were playing clips of Brian Clough which is quite clever as most football fans have a soft spot for Nigel's dad .

I listened to the X radio podcast it's pretty good

[sjbarca]

Listened to Radio 4 and caught up on the real world a bit and remembered that's where Radio educated me??!! Fuck Off err "Fordey"??!!

Yep. I went shopping today for new trainers. Before this weekend, the Warm Up on a Saturday was the one show I'd purposefully tune in for. Forde is a complete turnoff.
