I'm just getting bored now of your Matt baiting everytime you post Yudster. Change the record - you're becoming really tiresome.

You just bumped a thread that was 3 months old?!?!?!

I don't think much has been said about Matt for 3 months!

You have just re-raised an issue that was kind of laid to rest.

Not everyone has to like Matt or his input into the show, I personally am not that bothered about Matt. I dont think he adds anything to the show (when on air)

[Yudster]

What a vindictive and nasty person you are Yudster. I've watched for months at the snide unpleasant & rude posts you've made about Matt Fincham and feel it's about time someone spoke up.

As far as I'm concerned whenever matt's on air he seems in awe of the situation he's in. He only ever volunteers information when Chris asks him, unlike the other team members who pipe up with they're comments throughout the show. He seems to be a genuine fan of the show and what the team all do and i think his geekiness is quite endearing.
I for one find him quite likeable and far from arrogant - he is self deprecating in his sense of humour and lets the team rib him in a light spirited way. Theyre obviously quite fond of him
Do you think if Chris and co disliked him that much (as you're keen to make out, even though you don't know any of the team personally, yet seem to think youre an authority on them) he'd be on the show? Surely he must be one of the most able and dedicated Radio 1 assistent producers to be put on the station's breakfast show for so long?

I'm just getting bored now of your Matt baiting everytime you post Yudster. Change the record - you're becoming really tiresome.

Until I change my opinion about Matt Fincham (which could happen, I used to dislike Carrie but ended up loving her) when its appropriate I'll voice that opinion. Which is, in case you were in any confusion, that he is a silly, self-serving brat who desperately hoped that getting a job on the CM show would be his passport to some sort of fame (a la Aled and Rachel I guess) but failed miserably because he comes across on air as exactly what he is, which if you were in any doubt is a [see above]. The exception to this is when they use him for musical features, where he is sublime.

Interestingly enough, you purport to dislike it when I voice this opinion, but if you hadn't stepped in here for apparently no reason at all to say so, I would have had no reason to reiterate that opinion, which is, if you were wondering, that Matt Fincham is a waste of space on air unless he is doing something musical, and the show is a lot better when he isn't speaking. And as for

I'm just getting bored now of your Matt baiting everytime you post Yudster.

- I haven't mentioned Matt for aaaaaages, and if you hadn't brought up the subject I wouldn't be doing so now. However, seeing as you have, I'll just tell you what I think of him (in case you didn't know). He's a bit of a silly tit really, who landed a great job as assistant producer on the breakfast show, but was so desperate to turn it into something on-air that he actually wound up not being a particularly good assistant producer for a long while, although I would hope he's got the hang of it by now. He's also an object lesson in how a high-end education means absolutely nothing when you dip a toe into the workplace - maybe something to note for anyone currently disappointed about not getting into their first choice uni, see, Cambridge didn't help Matt Fincham any did it? All that top-end academic input and he's still a dork.

Anyway - as you were so kind as to enquire about what my opinion of Matt Fincham is (and I thank you again for the opportunity to exercise my right to hold and voice that opinion, its very public spirited of you) perhaps I should ask you about yours? And whilst I suspect it may differ radically from mine, I can assure you that I will be in no way offended if you don't agree with me, and I think I can probably be flexible minded enough to accept that there isn't any requirement for anyone to feel the same way as I do about anything at all, and whilst I might personally hold the completely opposite view, its absolutely ok for you to express your opinion as often and as strongly as you feel appropriate. I think what I might do if I find it in any way irritating (which I probably won't, but lets be prepared) is maybe not read it, but probably a more reasonable response would be to read it and say "Hmm, that's strange, that person doesn't hold the exact same view as me! Oh well". Maybe I'll give that a go.

Thanks whoever you are, you've been really helpful.

Yudster. Seriously?

[Yudster]

Of course, why not?

[John22]

I'm loving the argument Matt Fincham's cover of a Pendulum song has caused...

[chrysostom]

i feel this needs a similar success/failure display as the live election debates had, going across the TV screen up and down.

[chrysostom]

as such

[John22]

Haha, yeah, who are you on FM 2010?

[DevilsDuck]

pffff, FM sucks.

I'm playing CM 01-02 again with the latest updates!

as such

pffff, FM sucks.

I'm playing CM 01-02 again with the latest updates!

once i taste the new features (team talks etc) even though they're ridiculous - i can't go back to not having them :p

i'm arsenal - standard, they're a bit boring to manage, but i just love seeing what it's like to actually see us sign players of quality, and sell the shite ones

as such

it's amazing the lengths i'm going to not to write my dissertation. i've also started a communal football blog, and cleaned my room.

Me neither...

Until I change my opinion about Matt Fincham (which could happen, I used to dislike Carrie but ended up loving her) when its appropriate I'll voice that opinion. Which is, in case you were in any confusion, that he is a silly, self-serving brat who desperately hoped that getting a job on the CM show would be his passport to some sort of fame (a la Aled and Rachel I guess) but failed miserably because he comes across on air as exactly what he is, which if you were in any doubt is a [see above]. The exception to this is when they use him for musical features, where he is sublime.

It's comments like this which proove how blinded you are by your own self righteousness. "silly self serving brat" - ironically thats the image i have of you each time you make one of your posts. On what basis do you make the comment that his joining the show was a means for him to find fame? My impression is that he always shys away from being on air, a bit like rachel did. She clearly didn’t want fame either as she is now an executive of weekends. Yes you can tell he loves all the music stuff and might be bit * doing it all on air, but the team seem to respond well to it.

Interestingly enough, you purport to dislike it when I voice this opinion, but if you hadn't stepped in here for apparently no reason at all to say so, I would have had no reason to reiterate that opinion, which is, if you were wondering, that Matt Fincham is a waste of space on air unless he is doing something musical, and the show is a lot better when he isn't speaking.

Yes, youve made this point over & over again – we get it.

I haven't mentioned Matt for aaaaaages, and if you hadn't brought up the subject I wouldn't be doing so now. However, seeing as you have, I'll just tell you what I think of him (in case you didn't know). He's a bit of a silly tit really, who landed a great job as assistant producer on the breakfast show, but was so desperate to turn it into something on-air that he actually wound up not being a particularly good assistant producer for a long while, although I would hope he's got the hang of it by now.

Ages? From looking at your recent posts you mentioned only a few days ago in the desk thread that if moving desk meant someone was moving off the show, you hoped that was the case for matt. And by using “Silly tit” – again you’re showing you’re total hypocrisy – what was it you said earlier about him - “what vitriol have I ever directed toward him?”.
In case you haven’t noticed the whole spirit of the show is for chris to take the piss out of the team – dom’s rubbish weather, aled’s frequent mistakes, matt’s * ups. The whole ‘blame matt fincham’ thing came out of him not coming into the studio till 9.30 which meant he couldn’t be around to stick up for himself with things go wrong. Do you not think they play this up to its extreme on the show? Its how its always been (lizzy, aled, Melinda, etc.). Do you also think the bosses would have some one as incompetent as they make out on the radio 1 breakfast show? Perhaps this is maybe why your not working at a radio station (or maybe you are – please correct me if im wrong)

He's also an object lesson in how a high-end education means absolutely nothing when you dip a toe into the workplace - maybe something to note for anyone currently disappointed about not getting into their first choice uni, see, Cambridge didn't help Matt Fincham any did it? All that top-end academic input and he's still a dork.

Again, comments like this are just plain nasty. Have you ever matt personally? Did he do something so horrid to you that you feel the need to slag him off at every oportunity? Im not his best mate nor have I ever met him, but this just seems harsh. You also seem to have an inferiority complex about your eduction.

Anyway - as you were so kind as to enquire about what my opinion of Matt Fincham is (and I thank you again for the opportunity to exercise my right to hold and voice that opinion, its very public spirited of you) perhaps I should ask you about yours? And whilst I suspect it may differ radically from mine, I can assure you that I will be in no way offended if you don't agree with me, and I think I can probably be flexible minded enough to accept that there isn't any requirement for anyone to feel the same way as I do about anything at all, and whilst I might personally hold the completely opposite view, its absolutely ok for you to express your opinion as often and as strongly as you feel appropriate.

Oh well". Maybe I'll give that a go.

Whilst matt isn’t the b all or end all of the show to me, I think he adds something to the team and really doesnt deserve the amount of scorn you pour on him.
Unfortunately, from what ive seen of your posts, im not hopeful for ever particularly respecting your opinion. The only conclusion I can come to is that youre suffering from some sort of intense jealousy or envy at matts position on the show? Your behaviour strikes me as pretty spineless and slightly bully-ish, coming on to here to attack someone who cant fight back.
