If she's not prime minister by then of course.2 -
Do you know where to find it?randy andy said:Saw a documentary following Jeff for a day. I literally don't know how he does it. He has multiple conversations going on in his ear piece, multiple screens in front of him, conversations with the pundits and talking to camera.
Made my head hurt just watching it.

Personally I’ve not really ‘watched’ it since they ditched the regular panel of Le Tiss, Thommo and Nicholas. It was like a group of football fellas meeting up for a Sunday drink, there appeared a real connection between them all and the banter was natural and great.
it’s still on now but I’m only really following the scores rather than any of the chat. Can’t really take to some of them and there’s no real bond between them.13 -

Never got the hype around her. She’s a bit ‘look at me’ if you ever see any of her tweets about nights out etc.bolloxbolder said:

Nope. I still have no idea what the hell you are going on about old son.addick1956 said:
That is a pathetic argument. I never really connected with this bloke and if you like him I know I was correct.Off_it said:

Different back in the 90s, early 2000s when we'd happily sit in front of the box in the social club on a Saturday afternoon with a pint of coke. There was no other way to follow a performance, other than the radio or of course being there.
You can literally watch any game you want on a stream and there are hundreds of apps, betting or otherwise to get near instantaneous score updates.

Couldn't find it when I looked earlier. It was probably just an extended feature with a normal sky sports broadcast, so unlikely to be available in isolation.0

The dependence on using former players is annoying and really dumbs down football coverage in this country. I would rather have a proper journalist in that role. Playing football and being able to articulate what’s happening in a football match (or in the sport more generally) are different skills entirely and the vast, vast majority of former players are not very good at the latter.SELR_addicks said:Think they should keep a presenter like Julian Warren who is able to host and fill in when games are a bit dull.
But please please start hiring people with intellect that actually know what they're watching and give us updates with the correct names and passage of play.
Getting 'names' like Merson etc. etc. that can't commentate to save their lives has stopped me watching it for the past 3/4 years.3 -
Tim Sherwood is terrible when they go to him for live updates, the silence is cringe making.se9addick said:

Stelling asks 'what's happening Paul'?
Merson replied 'Number 4 passed it to number 7 who crossed the ball and number 9 headed it'.
Couldn't even learn the players name.

For absolute top end experts of the game outside of the Premier league we have a treat tonight. Ali Maxwell is the guest with Curbs and Scott Minto in the studio tonight. Him and his wingman George Elek also do sky and the show on quest, which is a shocking indictment of the lack of knowledge in the media of the footballing pyramid. Two young lads who properly know their shit.
He will break down and analyse the game in a way similar to how Bielsa held Frank Lampard upside down and shook the knowledge of his Derby team out and showed Frankie that Bielsa knows more about his players than he did. It will blow your mind7 -

He'd learned his numbers up to 10.3 -
I still watch if I'm at home. Midweek is good as they show all the goals. Good way to follow the scores and Stelling's obscure references are brilliant.
The way people go on about Le Tiss, Nicholas, Thompson you'd think they always been on but there were plenty before them. George Best, Frank McClintock, Rodney Marsh for three.
Things change, people retire or are let go, Valarie Singleton doesn't present Blue Peter anymore and Sylvester McCoy isn't, thankfully, Dr Who.
Hope I die before I get old.3 -

Were they binned to "tick a few boxes" or is that another victim myth?alan dugdale said:

"oh dear, us poor oppressed white men don't have single every job so anyone who isn't us only gets the job because of do-gooders/PC/Woke/cultural marxism/whatever the word is this week"
Presenters change all the time, people retire or move jobs all the time. It isn't always a conspiracy, it's just business.

And Best, Frank & Marsh we’re binned for Le Tiss, Champagne Charlie & Thompson.alan dugdale said:

As Henners says, you got to move with the times.
I watch it, whilst my Bruv, Stubbers & Browny are in one ear. Out of all of them, the one I will happily hope to never see again is Alan McAnally (don’t know if I’ve spelt it right, don’t care). He is a complete knob.1 -

And just to think, Daniel Levy employed him as First Team Coach at Spurs. How did that actually happen?!1 -
How about Scot Minto?0

It will blow your mindI'm guessing he's a Charlton fan as well judging by the top that he's got on in this video.0 -

Best. Assistant. EVER.........

I’m pretty sure they weren’t binned en masse. Marsh was sacked for inappropriate remarks and Best became ill. Their replacements, unlike the current lot, could string a sentence together as well as having a bit of banter. As could others in the past - Walsh, Mullery for example.KBslittlesis said:

Twins probably, sisters…I’m just watching.
Haven’t a clue who should replace JS1 -

Plus the name of the podcast0 -
Unfortunately we are being conditioned to having the characters and good presenters taken away from us in favour of the endless desire to satisfy the inclusion quotas.I think it’s an argument that’s been done to death and there some merits to it as well but the bottom line is the best person (Jules) should get the job but the high chances are he won’t and instead and a black , gender fluid person , disabled with ginger hair will get the gig7

The best way to watch the programme is with the sound off and Radio 5 on. That way you get the atmosphere of the live game on the radio and the score updates on screen.
The yardstick for me with TV pundits and co-commentators on Live matches is, am I interested in what they have to say? A bit of insight is what I'm looking for, rather than guesswork, cliches and jargon. Unfortunately the trend for TV stations is for the latter at the moment. Sky Soccer Saturday is now full of pundits with nothing to say.0
