There's been more political podcasts than usual or just shows based on only one guest/topic

Dots1982 wrote: » Because people would have been noticing he was gone and wanted to know what the story was. It nips the issue in the bud rather than facing mounting questions of where mark is.

But it's hard to differentiate him from the way he carries on, on twitter. He's like a mini Ewan Mackenna, although I don't think even Ewan takes himself as seriously as Miguel does.

Sure, he's not an unmissable contributor and he has annoying verbal tics, but he's not - to my ears anyway - noticeably worse than the other numerous bog standard football journos they regularly have on - but reading this thread you'd think it's absolute aural torture to listen to him. I don't get it. I find the likes of Marcotti far, far worse. Like I said, he's not brilliant or anything and I wouldn't miss him if he never appeared again, but the level of pure dislike some seem to have to his contributions, when they are completely ordinary, is a bit over done.

How did you write down option 1 there, and still think it made sense to continue with the other two? :pac:
Pete Moss wrote: » I don't get the Delaney hate. He wouldn't be my favourite contributer, but complaints about him are OTT. The Delaney hate seems quite trendy in this thread. It all seems to be aimed towards his personality, rather than his content. This thread is Johnny Giles and Miguel Delaney is Ken.
Arghus wrote: » I get that. I'm not on Twitter, I understand about his reputation on Twitter, but I'm not too concerned about that personally. I only go by his contributions on SC and, to my ears, his contributions on SC while, admittedly, being slightly forgettable are also generally innocous. It all comes back to Ken's "90 of the time it's the person who is saying it..."
