I'm sick to the back teeth of it already. Does it really matter who wins anyway? Is it going to change anyones life for the better? Sooner the better they go out and then all the stupid merchandise can be consigned to the bin for another four years. Lets get back to normal life which is a lot more interesting if you look a little deeper.

Right, now I've upset everyone, rant over........

yes but some people enjoy watching football, i like watching all the games. a normal summer without football is really awful. all you have is tennis, golf and cricket and they are sports for the posh or the dead.

Yeah, I know and I dont want to sound like a killjoy and I'm not against it in principle. Its just all the hype that gets on my nerves like we should all be lapping it up. I've never been a football fan and I suppose I cant understand why people can get so whipped up into a frenzy about it......... :confused:

just been on the phone with a guy at the BBC regarding the noise, & i said on the red button there is a choice of commentaries, the TV commentators, 5Live commentators & no commentators, so i said to him why don't you have the option of no match sound with commentary & that would solve the issue of the vuvezelas,

he said it was a very good idea & will defiantly make sure it's passed on as a option.

Been listening to Moyles since 7 o' clock and all hes done is talk about the bloody world cup. I dont want to know, I dont care who wins. I wish it would end NOW. The world has gone mad. Its a bloody GAME, and not a good one at that. Roll on Christmas and frosty mornings, cant wait............ :grrr:

when he goes on and on about big brother that's how i feel, and i've had it year after year. and it goes on longer than the world cup. maybe i can go into the big brother thread and comment about how i hate it and how people who watch it should get out and get a life on every page.

I think Korea showed great determiniation, and showed that you gotta pay attention right until the end of the game! Doubt they will get any further though!

Brazil were another class. By far the best team i've seen (although i did miss the Holland game, and heard they were good), they were knocking it around for fun and the first goal - even if it wasn't supposed to be a goal - was insane.

North Korea played very well, i disagree that Brazil were in another class, without the first lucky goal, North Korea could have held on for a draw & maybe even a win.

the :( thing is that they won't show the game on the TV in North Korea because they will only show games if the North Korea team win :(

the North Korea team is far better than England,

they are disciplined,

can pass the ball,

determined,

have technical skill,

can keep the ball,

are fast (all round)

work together,

if England had been playing they would have gotten squashed by Brazil.

always had a bit of a soft spot for North Korea :)

jono, are you doing your own world cup thread like 4 years ago for people who don't understand? or are you amongst the elite like myself and john now?

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
