I used to enjoy him on the radio years ago,when he did 606. Sounded like a normal WBA football fan who would listen to the callers and seem to know what we were all going through following our teams. Spoilt big time now,by savage and wright telling every caller,they are wrong if they don't agree. Think that's why I went off him,when he went on tv,I had to see him! Defiantly a face for radio.

It won't be much of a leaving do then, by the sounds of it.


They're having a party but he's not invited...

Edit: dailew's not invited either.
Probably worried his carer might go missing and he'd spaff in the punchbowl...

I once queued behind him buying bread in Stuarts hot bread shop in Killay, he was perfectly polite and personable as I recall.. Cant remember what he bought, mind. I had a rosemary and sea salt focaccia, as usual.

I never met or heard from anyone that liked his presenting skills.
About time too.
Any link?


I didn't mind him at all - I thought he had something warm and friendly about him. There are worse on the box. Part of the reason for his demise must be his off the cuff comment during an England v Poland game, about not annoying Poles because 'I'm having some work done on the house next week'. A totally innocuous and mildly humorous comment that was denounced as 'racist'. Christ on a bike, as they say. Bloody Nora, as they say. WTF? As they say. Racist? To quote the great SuperMac They "cannot be serious'! But they were.

Anyway, I hope he doesn't fade right away - I thought he did MoTD2 well a few years ago.

He is the exact opposite of that.

I used to enjoy the awkwardness of him and Roy Keane on set together. Keane would just stare him down, looking like he was restraining himself from sticking the head in.


If you "enjoy" watching a bully (and great footballer) intimidate another person we're very different people little wonder we have a differing view of Chiles.

The orthodox are always orthodox, regardless of the orthodoxy.

I can put up with Chiles, there is something 'human' about him.

Townsend on the other hand, thank God he's going.

Are there two Adrian Chiles?

Quite shocked how he attracts such hate. Always seemed humble and witty to me. Vastly preferable to the slew of monotone ex-footballers.

Never a bad thing to be in a minority on here anyway


Totally agree with these comments. I've always wondered why there has been such animosity towards Adrian Chiles on here. I really like listening to him, because he is one of us - a fan!

Indeed. Don't like Andy "Not For Me Clive" Townsend though. Will it mean the end for @ItsObviousAndy? That would be a shame.

Universally loathed by all the production staff who have had the misfortune to work him.

Thoroughly obnoxious, billy big bollocks c*nt.


Dunno anything about these rumours. just judge him by what I see on TV. Would rather him than Gary Walkers Lineker any day.
And he supports a proper football club - not London, Mersyside or Manchester.

Chiles really hasn't worked on itv (the awful coverage they provide doesn't help, Lee Dixon is utterly wasted on there). Always liked him on the radio though.
Randomly remember seeing him talk at length on a tv programme about how much he loved the Gower, seem to remember him saying something about getting married down there too.

He tried to be controversially awkward.. which he wasn't
He tried to be clever.. but failed
He didn't offer any worthwhile footy chat.
He was an annoying dry presenter.. cringeworthy

He deserved the boot.. he wasn't good enough for ITV.. lacked the sufficient skills.

We can only hope that he doesn't have a clause in his contract to say he can go back to theBBC if thing went t*ts at ITV.

Not rumours mate - my missus has worked in telly all her life and knows most of the people who worked with him.

Jumped up little prick who thought he was God's gift.

Won't shut up about England, but had no qualms about playing for ROI.

Just took this quote from Wikipedia

'His contribution to Norwich's successful season saw Andy selected for the Republic of Ireland, making his debut against France in February 1989. He qualified for Ireland due to his brother's barman's friend's sister's boyfriend's Irish grandmother, despite the fact that he is not even remotely Irish.'

I've never met your wife and I've never met any of the people that your wife, who has worked in telly all her life, knows who has worked with him.

So yeah, rumours. Anything that you learn 2nd, 3rd, or in this case 4th hand, is a rumour.
Might be true, might not. Still a rumour.

So, are you saying that Warwick shouldn't belive his wife's first hand feedback on Chiles?



Mind you, I think he's wrong about Corden.... I like him a lot. Please don't tell me he's a c@nt as well Phil?

It's just the internet, init.
