It was crap when Richard Desmond had it, and used the same single-minded dedication to quality that he has displayed in his years of ownership of the Daily Express to drag it firmly into the shit, and Viacom have done nothing to change that, nor will they. We're talking about a channel that is literally following highlights of the cricket today, with, at 8 o'clock on a Sunday evening, a show called 'Monkeys Make You Laugh Out Loud'. At least in the Dawn Airey era of 'films, football and ****' football was center stage. And there's more artistic merit in Shannon Whirry's tits than there is viral videos of monkeys, that's for sure. I dunno- I used to like their amercian sports coverage. MLB on five was good fun with Johnny Gould. Still miss it- had to record it on long play VHS and watch it the next day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to stay up all night watching Mike Carlson and whoever the host was chatting about games. Sadly, they used to show absolutely no adverts, which meant the shows cost a fortune to run. It's a miracle they lasted as long as they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they had knowledgeable people on the shows and a bit of anarchic fun due to them being on the middle of the night. Much missed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Higginbottom talking absolute billhooks on sky just explain 3 "great examples" of play from lesta, only to finish with "nothing came of it" "again nothing came of it" & "I know nothing came of it" Higginbottom, Dowie, Wilkins are all useless. May as well employ Gaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 When you hear Phil Neville try and analyze a game it is perfectly clear why Valencia and United were so horrific whilst he was assistant.

rodders0223 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 An underlying theme now of certain pundits and presenters wanting to stick the boot into Leicester and Ranieri. Cannot wait for the rags to riches to rags story. We love building them up, but we love knocking them down more. Started a few weeks ago when Lawrenson said "Morgan looks like he enjoyed the summer too much." Now questioning certains players desire and hunger. Leicestee losing at United and Chelsea isn't cause for an inquest. Normal service is resumed. Move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Leicester's season is basically enjoying the Champions League and getting as far as they can, whilst staying mid-table at lowest.

I moved recently and didn't get the more expensive sport package that includes PL. Don't miss it one bit and I'm fine with just having the spanish and italian leagues.
