Another thread on TalkSport where the almost universal conclusion is that Jim White is terrible.

I can only imagine that he has a long, large contract that they can't get out of as I barely hear anyone say they like listening to him. The fact that they've changed the show twice in the last two seasons to add new regular presenters (first Natalie Sawyer and now Simon Jordan) shows that the TalkSport bosses know White is poor.

He puts the graft in mind.
He's on TS from 10 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon, but he probaly gets in to the office at 8 ish to prepare - then he's on Sky Sports News in the afternoon early evening. His wife must never see him - I bet she's owa the moon.

Keeps him out of the pubs at least? Think he used to be an alcoholic?

I remember Mike Parry saying it about him 😁😄
 
I can't listen to Gough at all. The bloke can barely string a sentence together and its painful listening to him trying to read his script.
He's like an illiterate who has just that minute walked in from the street and asked to read what's on the screen
 
Hawksbee and Jacobs are still superb after many years. Their little quips and corrections give me a laugh every day, really good listening - it will be a real shame when they pack in, because anyone who stands in doesnt really cut it (Max Rushden). Jordan and White also good together but its nowhere near as good when Jordan takes his days off. Does White know the West Ham owners?.. anyone know? he certainly doesn't mention it six times a day.

Durham and Gough is bordering on unlistenable (if thats a word). I don't know why Durham still needs to put on the act anymore, surely they make enough from advertising without the need to goad people to ring in reacting to deliberately laid bait. Gough's forced ramblings just add to the misery. I also find the breakfast show hard to listen too, although Ally McCoist always comes across well when he is on.

Durham is pretty knowledgable and is good on the Soccer Saturday around the ground style thing they do (can't remember what they call it). Then he goes back to clowning around during the week.

I still listen like.
