[Archived] Robbie Savage At The Hordens

[Brownie]

Robbie was a star on Tuesday. I doubt he would have been as honest and hilarious were he to know that his stories would get out beyond the privileged few who were in the Hordens that night. We have sworn an oath to secrecy and have rolled up our right trouser legs and shook on it. Hail King Robbie

Couldn't put it better myself !

[Ozz]

Brownie-how about Paul Ince next-he can't be that busy these days?

[Sparky Marky]

Brilliant.

[MCMC1875]

I'm sure big Colin would be game for that as he's often at Ewood. depends where he is living nowadays i guess!

I think Tim Flowers would be a good shout aswell

Hasn't sold his house at Lytham yet.

[blue/white]

How about a night w/ Batty???

He couldn't possibly be more boring that his autobiography?

Seriously, thou..... Chris Sutton stories would make me swim over

[mrsjansen]

Did u find out which charity Brownie?

He said he's picking from 1 one of 3 charities based in Derby, I'm sure one was meningitus (sp?)

I saw Sav chatting to Tugay outside the player's entrance just after the game tonight, he must have come to watch us

[Tom]

He was doing commentary for five live, apparently he reitterated the point that Tugay was the best player he ever played with.

I'm sure that he said that was Ryan Giggs tonight on SSN.

Savage is on Radio 5 Live at the moment, practicing for his Hordens appearance as the co-commentator for Wigan v Hull.

His 5 live work drawing praise from the most unlikely source (Brian Moore's column in last Thursday's Daily Telegraph)

Savage a breath of fresh air

Radio 5 Live’s football coverage this week included as a co-commentator a player who would be nobody’s selection in a list of the top 10 most articulate footballers (if that is not an oxymoron) – Robbie Savage.

However, his observations and thoughts made during the Aston Villa v Hull match were entertaining, direct and refreshing; a mile away from Sir Trevor Brooking’s ubiquitous: “Well, I’m sure he wishes he’d done better.”

Savage’s musings were made in the accent and language of the very common man, but this did not matter because he added colour and insight and was not afraid to be direct about fellow professionals when he thought it was justified. Surely it will not be long before he takes his place in the BBC’s Match of the Day panel.

[Derby Blue]

For any fans based in the East Midlands, Robbie is doing another 'Audience With' on Wednesday 7th October at The Royal in Derby. Don't know any more details as yet but will post them if I find any more.

Listening to the MU v Big club match on Radio Five and Sav was partnering Alan Green in the commentary box. Damned good job he made of it too. I think we will hear a lot of Robbie in future in the media.

btw I'd bet that we might be the first club that he's left that would not consider booing him if he came back to Ewood with another club.

btw 2 How many can remember the chorus of opposition to signing him from our resident know nowt 'lady' members when he was first talked about? Hang your heads girls.

He came back with Derby last season and got cheered, best player on the park that day as well if i remember rightly.

Brownie - if you're reading this - and if you still have some kind of contact with Sav,

Salgado was interviewed by Radio Rovers before the home game with West Ham. He made the comment that Rovers were a historic club [that's been quoted on here before]. When asked what he knows about us, he said he recalled that we had won the Prem Title a few years ago. He was asked if he knew any rovers players, - to which he replied "well I remember Shearer and I remember Savage".

I'm sure Sav would be well pleased to know that he and Alan Shearer had captured the imagination of Real Madrid's Michel Salgado!

More like ........ 'well I remember Alan Shearer as the best striker in Europe by a mile and I remember taking a picture of Savage to my hairdressers to see if she could copy the style'.

Might be short and sweet but should be fun all the same.

I wonder which club football fans in general associate Robbie with most? Rovers, Leicester or Brum?

Most likely Leicester I would have thought, he enjoyed the most success there. However with a character like Robbie you never know.

He has been on Five Live quite a lot recently and been very entertaining.

[Neil Weaver]

He has been on Five Live quite a lot recently and been very entertaining.

And I think he's one of the pundits in S Africa for Five Live. Don't know if he's due to be on TV too, wouldn't be surprised.

From Football 365 today ......

"I went for a 30 minute run on the beach with someone this morning and commented that the altitude wasn't really affecting me until they pointed out we were on the beach" - Robbie Savage shows why the BBC are grooming him to be their new star.

Insert blonde gag of your choice here.....

Always makes me smile.
