Xela Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Was listening to the radio earlier and some pundit (didn't get their name) was talking about Messi, saying he's motivated by winning things and isn't interested in money He's on £700k per week you chump! He's not going to sign for someone on £50k per week is he?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will still get paid a fortune but he will surely take a pay cut if he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be the cheap rent-a-gob freelancers that probably bring their own microphone. I assume those three were on exclusive Sky contracts and relatively costly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 They seem OK with it on twitter, not leaving on bad terms What is apparent on there though is the amount of Alf Garnett word spouting "they'll get a black guy on there, or even worse a woman, don't let BLM win" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thought Charlie Nicholas was ok, but Thompson spent most of the time trying to keep up with the Liverpool game instead of watching the game he was meant to, and Le Tissier was boring (and now seems to have gone full blown conspiracy theory nut judging by his twitter). It had gone completely stale anyway, an old boys club where their 'mates' would be immune from the level of criticism they would dish out to others. Unsurprisingly the people who love to talk about 'lefty snowflakes being offended by everything' are themselves apoplectic with rage about a sports tv show replacing a few pundits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be better sacking Stelling with his bullshit pro British manager crap. Is Van Gaal. As good as Pulis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It needed freshening up in my opinion. Also I’d lost a bit of respect for Le Tiss during this lockdown after his crazy conspiracies on Twitter. Never nice seeing people lose their jobs though no matter what you think of them.

Taking about football in a air conditioned room with too much make up is barely a job. The after dinner circuit will welcome them with open arms, when social distancing ends. They will smash it.

These are all from the first dozen responses: Out of all the hopeless Alf Garnett word though, this guy takes the biscuit. Guess who he supports. Yeah, bet Boris Johnson and UEFA will be right on the blower mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
