Keyblade Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Was watching this clip of Soccer Saturday earlier: Was this the programme people (even on here) were losing their shit over saying Merson and co were being sacked for the sake of "diversity". 'Cause I'm looking at this and they've somehow managed to replace them with 4 achingly boring blokes, 3 of them white. Give me Merse over these guys any day. Jamie Mackie? How is it even possible to be a 3rd rate Joe Cole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm guessing they're being sacked because the viewing figures are down and sky are blaming the presenters rather than the format The format is dead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) BBC article on a French Cup game where a team from Tahiti has made a 20,000 mile round trip to France. Obviously someone has decided to take the piss out of whichever intern wrote this story Quote Remarkably, the Oceania Football Confederation reports this is not even Venus's longest journey in recent years - it was eclipsed by a 10,500-mile trip to New Caledonia in 2015. Maybe I am being petty, but it is pretty easy to fact-check this as wrong by looking at a map...https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/59277738 Edited November 14, 2021 by a-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it even possible to be a 3rd rate Joe Cole? Jamie Mackie. Kenny Miller. Jobi McAnuff. Michael Dawson. An ounce of talent between them, and not a single interesting or insightful perspective to be found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted November 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2021 Came across this. Neville impresses me here - at least he's thinking, and taking on Scudamore. Yep - Neville seems to be talking sense. Scudamore is a "trickle down economics" guy. Fair play Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jono62 Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 Neville is a hack, just like the rest. Only enraged about the ESL because he would lose his gravy train. Doesn't mention it now. If anyone but Ole was in charge of Man Utd right now, he would be moaning about the performances and results. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Gabby Agbonlahor on TalkSport, I’ve only been listening for about 5 minutes but he keeps doing a really fake ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaa over and over. Its really weird and annoying. Obviously can’t think of anything to say so does a really long force laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't bring much insight, and his comments are often inflammatory which builds views. I like Gabby, but don't like the TalkSport format.

Zatman Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Watching clips of Simon Jordan on Talksport is weird, not that he is a bad pundit/commentator but they always put him with somebody like Danny Murphy, Mills or Trevor Sinclair who dont understand the words he is saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Souness just referred to 'the Japanese lad' for Arsenal. Is it really that much to ask you to learn one player's name considering you've been paid handsomely to watch the match? And Jack Wilshere, **** me there's more charisma in a dead wasp. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be bad for us financially, as the top 6 would get a bigger cut then us and we're already playing catch up with FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 What the **** is Conor Cody doing commentating on MOtD. I don't agree with players commentating on other teams when they are still playing. They should be concentrating on there own game. I mean is the no one else they could get?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Karen Carney gets it in the neck on Twitter, but honestly, she's no better or worse than all the other boring co-commentators on TV. Actually, I kind of enjoyed her commentary on our game today. No cliches and pointing out the glaringly obvious, and it's clear she has a keen eye for the game...it's just the way she expresses it that needed work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an uphill battle being a woman involved in the men's game, and she's not fantastic, but give me her any day over Carragher and the usual lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
