Soccer Saturday.

[Stu Monty]

Gavin Peacock, that's the bugger.

 

At least Peacock seems to ba actually making an effort to do some research and enlighten, which is a bit more than most do. Hansen's analysis of Reading's counter-attacking yesterday was the first time for a while I've actually gone "Hmm, that's pretty revealing". I didn't realise just how effective and attacking they were on the counter.

Steve Coppell has that team prepared, for sure.

[drewy]

Kicking right off it is, over the Jose sacking.

 

Thommo' giving it the "big club my arse" one.

 

Excellent entertainment, BTW Charlie Nicholas is a clueless tool.

[Section_31]

I miss Marsh and Mclintock, Merson and Le Tissier are sheep of the highest order.

[Dirk]

When are television producers going to realise that having been a footballer doesn't pre-qualify you as an expert on the game? I'd much rather listen to an astute sports journalist that has never played the game than some of the idiots they trot out as pundits. Warren Barton, Charlie Nicholas, David Platt, Ian Wright, Bryan Marwood and Alan Shearer are some of the most widely used pundits, all of them are shite at it too.

[Thants]

It was a good montage of Mourinho. Seeing him joke and smile makes you almost like him. Shame they missed out all the bitterness and lies (apart from the ssshhhh) when he lost cos thats what made other fans hate him.

Agreed in some cases - but the problem comes in when they're talking about match action IMO.

 

I used to watch Hold the Back Page and thought it was class viewing at times, but when you're reviewing a missed goal chance or a nasty tackle, you don't want someone who's never played the game telling you 'He should have opened his body up there and burried that.'

[Carradona]

I still don't see the point in Paul Merson. Watching Soccer Saturday there now and he kept agreeing with what everyone says. He also kept looking at Le Tissier a lot and sniggering at him. Gayers.

[coop]

You mean there is other tv channels then LFC.TV.

[dudek#1]

I grudgingly like it.

[Thants]

Pennant on SS next.

[Kopite]

Jeff Stelling has turned into a smug self satisfied cunt to be honest

 

Is right.

 

"Liverpool have completely run out of ideas. What's happening now Matt?"

[kidney]

Is right.

 

"Liverpool have completely run out of ideas. What's happening now Matt?"

 

Matt "Liverpool have scored"

 

Motherfucker of the highest order!:wallbutt:

[andy8ball]

For high quality entertainment tune into Football First when they have Winterburn giving the analysis! I laugh my arse off every time he's on! So shit he's good!

[Kopite]

Motherfucker of the highest order!:wallbutt:

 

Stelling is a smarmy, smug tw*t, in my opinion of course.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The weekly 2 minute laughing session when Kamara is on is also really entertaining. He just loses it for no reason whatsoever.

 

I missed it yesterday, when they gave Chris Kamara a game with 11 goals (plus one wrongly disallowed, plus a saved pen). Did his head explode?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I still don't see the point in Paul Merson. Watching Soccer Saturday there now and he kept agreeing with what everyone says. He also kept looking at Le Tissier a lot and sniggering at him. Gayers.

 

It's so the rest of us, who can say things like "Agbonlahor" with no trouble, can feel self-satisfied.

[marco10]

I liked soccer saturday when it had McLintock,Marsh,Best etc..were on it as they had a good bit of banter but for any of yous that have had the pleasure of watching RTE on a champions league nite then im sure you'll agree that the panel of Giles,Brady & Dumphy is priceless - whether you agree with any of them is another thing - atleast they tell it like it is - there's no holding back.

[Cardie]

Who's mentioned an anti-liverpool conspiracy?

 

Facts are Jeff Stelling is a smug self satisfied twat who's bought into his own hype and Soccer Saturday is nothing but an excuse for the old boys club to go out on the lash friday nights then go to the studio on a staurday to tell us how things were different in their day and manager X Y and Z don't know what they're doing.

 

If the panel consisted of people without drink/drug/gambling problems, people who could string two words together and people that didn't slur every other word all while managing to hold a conversationa and offer enlightened views on football then I'd be with you 100%.

 

It's not though is it, you get more intelligent football discussion on here.

What Cardie said.

[Cardie]

And that's before I even start on that story about Steve McMahon after the Liverpool vs Monaco CL game.

[Paul]

Sky tend to go for the lowest common denominator of cliché-ridden ex-pro arseholes on virtually everything they do. Low-brow is their watch word. That said, I really like Jeff Stelling.

Well come on then.

[Carradona]

I like Stelling and I enjoy watching Soccer Saturday.

[Cardie]

Well come on then.

 

After a scathing Pre match, a summary throughout the game filled with criticism and a post match summary that was underwhelming (even though we won 2-0) he was apparently asked why he'd said what he did and responded with something like 'you have to be controversial to keep being asked back'.

 

It would certainly explain the likes of Rodney Marsh and Paul Merson and it also dovetails with the similar policy TalkSport adopt who link and share news with Sky.

 

Nice conspiracy for you their Chris.
