Ugh. I feel cheapened

Her absolute insistence that it was the fans' fault that Leeds United got themselves into serious financial difficulties is ridiculous.

And I don't like her voice.

HER: You heard Ron Noades there - fans don't understand anything about running a club (aside: Cockfarming of uber-quality from Noades in pre-recorded piece)

ME: Well, if people don't understand the full picture, then maybe they should be told and given the facts - you can't criticise people for not having the full picture when you're the person playing things close to your chest. (Should have added: Many Chairman don't know much either)

HER: Fans are too fickle...you just hear them on 606

ME: Well, 5Live choose to have people on 606 saying 'sack Alex Ferguson, he's rubbish' instead of people talking about the major issues...

HER: You can't run a club with 40,000 fans, you'd have a million opinions.

ME: Well, you'd have 40,000 opinions actually. But you can do it. Look at Real Madrid. They've done it. (Should have added: How right you are. These Iraqis have it right - one strongman and fuck democracy)

Interview ends as john Kettley arrives in the studio to do the weather.

They used to be so much better - I used to defend them as innovative and connecting versus staid middle-class radio 4. They've dumbed down so much - tabloidy, abandoned investigative stuff and reportage for bite sized chunks.

For instance, two weeks ago on the mid-week 606, Adrian Chiles (who until this incident I thought was OK) was called by two people.

One was a Tranmere fan I know, wanting to raise the issue of the potential buy-out of Tranmere by Chester City and how bad this was. Chiles responded by saying 'Well, er, may the best team win'. WTF?

Next-a Notts County fan who'd come back from a packed meeting in which one of my colleagues had spoken. He'd gone to the meeting full of despondency and dejection and came back buoyed with optimism after hearing about what a Trust could do. So he rings Chiles, who says 'Well, er, there's a fan who's happy and his team haven't even played!'. Cocking great mincewitted Cockfarmer.

That's better. Breathe...

I can't bear to listen to 606 now, though, because of the fuckwits they let on it, but like you I'm disappointed Adrian Chiles sounded so clueless.

They got me in as they rang a colleague who couldn't do it, and he referred them to me.

ME: Well, you'd have 40,000 opinions actually.

That reminds me of a manager being asked "Do you think you'll have to finish above Manchester United to win the league this year?" and responding with "We'll have to finish above everyone to win the league." (Who was that?)

The dangers of this sort of thing are obvious even to a child. I advise you to take steps or your career and all future prospects for happiness will soon be in the loo.
