Amir Khan?

[d000hg]

They were talking about this all week and the iPlayer link for today even mentions it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... Amir_Khan/

But unless I fell asleep during the show, they didn't have him on and they didn't even mention why not. Can anyone help de-confuse me about this?!

[Bas]

I'm going to guess that with the controversy with his fight last week & all the lawyering going on around it that Khan has been told to keep a bit of a low media profile in case something he said could be taken out of context.

[d000hg]

Shame, it would have been interesting. I remember when Haye came on (I think when Zane was doing a week) the day after finding a fight he wanted had fallen through.

Sad they didn't even mention it though, and still advertise the program with Amir...

[Yudster]

He's on today at 8 ...... about half an hour ago.

[Nicola_Red]

And he said the F word! Hilarious. I had a feeling he would for some reason, even though I know nothing about him, I just sensed it.

[Wykey]

No no, Mike Tyson said the F word

[English Bob]

I didn't listen to the Amir Khan interview, as I think he's a twat.

Why do I think this? ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amir_Khan_ ... _incidents

[Yudster]

I am of the same opinion as English Bob. Khan is a pathetic chav and I do not like him.

[Travis Bickle]

I am a boxing fan and I like Amir Khan. I also think he came across well in the interview today. The swearing could happen to anyone. He was telling a story and just lost track of the fact he was on the radio.

I thought we all knew it is one rule for us and a totally different rule for 'them'

Even though he's in a radio studio underground, talking to Chris Moyles, sitting in front of a microphone, wearing headphones with music playing in the background? There's no excuse for a guest swearing on-air.

[bmstinton93]

But tbf to him he's not exactly experienced in long interviews. If it was a TV presenter or someone then it definitely is inexcusable. But he doesn't often have to contain himself like that.

I thought he was alright but I am not into boxing so wouldn't be really interested. David Haye I felt was worse and I think he comes across as someone who is up his own ass!

Well Moyles is pretty used to being in a radio studio underground, talking to guests/callers, standing in front of a microphone, wearing headphones with music playing in the background and he has swore on-air.

If Chris Moyles can lose concentration and swear then so can Amir Khan.

The swearing incident was by far the most interesting part of his interview. Up next as part of the 'let's get lots of (mainly crappy) guests in for the sake of it because it's coming up to Christmas' silly season is Stacey Solomon on Monday. I can't wait.

[bmstinton93]

I love Stacey Solomon. She is so cheery and bubbly.

[a-moron]

And also resembles an attractive horse so if she's ain't for putting out at least you could always strap a saddle to her back and get some kind of ride from her.

[Yudster]

She was lovely on the show this morning.

I didn't hear it this morning , though i don't mind Stacey Solomon* as long as shes not singing or flogging vol au vents & prawn rings, there does seem to have been massive surfeit of guests over the past month. As only a small percentage of the guests will be worth listening to , i tend to turn over to 6Music pretty quickly quickly.





*In Stacey's case it can be summed up with a Simpsons quote,

Cute busty girl: " Uh, excuse me, my face is up here!"
Homer: " I know. but i've made my choice."

See, when she's singing is when I mind her less, it's her speaking voice that grates on me. Hence she's not a great radio guest for me

[DevilsDuck]

it's her speaking voice that grates on me

100% agreed! I dont like her music, but her singing voice is so much nicer than her actual voice
