If I was any good at such technical stuff I'd post the Rob Newman "Stoke-on-Trent: Bent" clip. Something about any publicity is better than being ignored to death. Bothered.
I used to like Danny Baker's Sat morning show on 5Live, but I've now switched allegiance to Johnny Vaughan's Warm Up on Talksport. Generally a hoot.

Danny baker is a witty, erudite man, who knows more than anything else, how to promote/provoke a reaction.his success on radio is based upon that premise.his comments about the premier league and its riches are well known, his reference to Stoke is merely an adjunct and we should accept it as such. Several yrs ago I too railed against a " greed league" etc. but now, our team are within the tent and pissing outside. That will do for me

Have I missed something? What was the tweet? The tweet went.... "The actual figure for Premier League right has just been adjusted from £5.14bn to £5.14bn & 85p. They forgot to add in Stoke v Hull". Bad eh? Wild and offensive innit. Just like a serated dagger through the heart that is.

Stoke Vs Hull WAS a terrible game, especially for one which was 11 Vs 10 for the majority. He's a great guy I think and often very complimentary towards us. That was Hull v Stoke

I'm not in the least offended at his attempt at being funny.
Totally unrelated to his comment but I think he's about as funny as toothache.

Anyone familiar with Baker's shows will know he generally gives a good ribbing to most teams, none more so than his own.
Everyone is in their rights to not find it funny, and I don't particularly think it's one of his better digs as he's normally pretty decent on Twitter. But anyone offended by it is being about as sensitive as Mary Whitehouse on the blob (or the average Arsenal fan in new money).

Danny has just simply made a joke, He's taken two relatively ,perceived to be unglamorous clubs ,well as far as Sky marketing would see it any way. Yet to make the joke work in the context of the 'new TV deal' ,He had to HAVE two teams that will actually be Premiership teams once the new deals kick in ... So Leicester,Burnley,Albion and QPR were ruled out ...IF I was making that same (lame) joke ,personally I'd have gone with Swansea vs Palace myself ...but then for someone from London ,like Danny, adding the 'grim up north' angle to the joke would have worked ,in his mind at least. Danny would have loved to use West Ham ,but as a Millwall fan he had to appear not to have an axe to grind against the team he really does dislike. Many ,many years ago, back in our dark days, Danny was forever going on about "loving Stoke to be in the Premiership, because people have just GOT to hear ,Stoke fans singing Delilah " Danny is after all, very self deprecating about his own ,Millwall team,so it's not as if it was someone like Alan Davies saying it ,THEN I would take offence I think just occasionally (some) Stoke fans need to stop looking for axes to grind ,it's not exactly the most cutting thing thrown our way is it ?

I couldnt give a shit about bis tweet. I just have a problem with how such a man is allowed to earn a living doing what he does.
The program he has on BT sport is utter mindless shit that only the most mentally disturbed would watch.
Shit beyond belief and the other fat baffoon.

Danny Baker has been doing more or less the same radio show for more than 20 years. However, since that show is head and shoulders above virtually anything else on offer (anywhere) that is fine. Awful with a script on TV, but peerless on the radio.
Also, he invented 606, and when he was sacked by the BBC it turned into every turgid, nincompoop cliche he predicted it would: "Hello - Keith from Kidderminster here. Just calling to say that I think Chelsea/Liverpool/Man U were robbed today. The ref was awful. No, I wasn't actually there. No, I've never in fact been to a match in my life. But the ref was awful."
Not a great joke. Fish in a barrel, to borrow one of his own images. But in the context of all the other garbage around, it is indeed Oscar Wilde in comparative terms. To take offence at any throw away comment is baffling - but from Baker (who tends to voice the view from the terraces) it is unfathomable.
The only sadness is Lynsey Hipgrave. She is truly woeful - and for me has rendered the Saturday am show unlistenable to.

Younger people reading might find this hard to believe but there was a time when football wasn’t fashionable. In fact, football supporters were pariahs, regarded with disgust and contempt. Walking down a street wearing a football shirt could result in people crossing the road to avoid you and if fathers found out their teenage daughters were dating a football fan it could signal a sudden halt to blossoming love. I remember starting work in 1985 and telling one of my colleagues I was a Stoke fan and attended matches and she nearly dropped her sponge. She shook her head and told me she was surprised because I’d “Seemed such a nice lad”. In the mid 80s football was not something the nation could easily hold close to it’s heart.
Throughout this time Danny Baker was defending football supporters. He looked isolated but stood up for fans when nobody else did.... when you could be ridiculed for doing so. Baker knows it's raucous and in effect ordinary people with an extraordinary passion. With this in mind it's ironicness at it's best when fellow football fans take umbrage and get precious and hurt feelings when he takes the piss a bit.

some years ago, a wolves fan friend of mine sent me the following joke
"I was walking down the street the other day, and I saw a video in a shop window called 'stoke city - the wonder years' So I went in and asked how much The guy said £100. £10 for the video and £90 for the beta max to play it"
At the time I thought it was not bad, the real kicker was, that was the season that we ended up getting promoted. At which point I sent the joke back

I can remember Duncan Mackenzie doing it around 1985 and Danny Baker was early 90s I think DB was the original host, although I have a feeling Duncan McKenzie did the odd slot. As did Nick Hancock from time to to time, when Danny was on holiday or a sabbatical. As someone above has observed, it beggars belief that the BBC considered (taxi-driver nemesis) David Mellor to be a fit and proper replacement. Mind you, some people never learn. Mellor is still employed by LBC. I can bear about 28 seconds of the current occupants - Ian Wright and his co-host (Kenny Dalgleish's daughter perhaps?). But compared with Mellor they sound like Richard Dimbleby and Emily Maitliss. Back on subject - if people took offence and rose to the bait at every minor slight in the media to SCFC, they would spend their lives doing little else. Oh, hold on a moment...

I too think Danny Baker is an excellent football presenter and wouldn't take offence in the slightest at such a comment/tweet.
Danny Baker, as I recall, is a true and proper football supporter. I've heard him speak glowingly of Stoke City and its supporters in the past so a joke like this is just "banter".
After Saturday's game, it was also perhaps very appropriate given what a shocking game it was.

DB is a top, top radio host. Peerless in fact.
His tweets? Not always so much.
I would file this one under 'footy banter' personally - and he could have permed any two from 8 or ten teams tbf for it.
And, as others have said, he wasn't exactly wrong was he, given Saturday's fayre?
