I hate MOTD - that Gary Linekar and Alan Hansen are a pair of jokers. Surely it's time to kick those patronising b'stards off our screens!


I think Sky Sports are head and shoulders above ITV, BBC and Setanta. I know Jamie Redknapp can be irritating but their usual Champions League panel of Souness, Gullit and Hoddle is quality.

Lineker and Hansen maybe tools, but the BBC's coverage of ALL sport is far better than anything sky have to offer. Hoddle is probably the most inarticulate pratt I've ever had the misfortune to listen to, this is probably a punishment for him being a twat in a previous incarnation. Irritating is not the word I'd use for Jamie Redknapp, it would be something far, far, stronger. The only advantage for Sky is that they cover footie more than anyone else including Spanish footabll. I'd rather watch most Spanish games than some of the Premiership games on offer like Bolton, or Blackburn et al.

I don't suppose that has anything to do with the fact Hoddle and Redknapp used to play for Spurs is it Atila?


Liverpool 2 v Sunderland 1

Portsmouth 0 v Chelsea 2

West Brom 0 v Arsenal 2


Blackburn 1 v Everton 1

Fulham 2 v Hull 0

Man City 2 v Aston Villa 3

Newcastle 1 v Man Utd 4

Stoke 2 v Bolton 2

Tottenham 2 v Middlesbrough 1

Wigan 2 v West Ham 1

Hoddle was good player but spouts poop evertime he opens his trap, the same as Redknapp. The way Redknapp tried to explain that Nolans sickening challenge on an Everton player whose name escapes me, in the Newcastle V Everton game, wasn't malicious in spite of the fact that he stamped on the guys shin in a two footed challenge with his face contorted in anger, beggars belief. I think he said something like " he's not that kind of player", oh well that's alright then!!! What a load of Ballacks.
No doubting the mans ability, but if I remember rightly the England manager at the time thought he was a "luxury" player. I disagree quality is quality, and thought he should have had more games for England but unfortunately our managers at the time were only interested in the work ethic, which has put our national game back many years and goes some way to explaining why our home grwon players don't have the touch, skill, technique, and vision of the foreign players that grace our game currently, and was evident in the England v Spain game.

Can anyone else spot the error in this statement?? ;)


Pompey are gonna get bumfooked tonight. It ain't gonna be pleasant - just hope Chelsea wear condoms!

Atila, you are right, although lets be honest, most of the current England players don't have the work ethic OR the skills! Oh, and just to go back, I like BBC coverage best, and think Andy Gray is a tool. A funny bloke when not talking football, but just annoys me when on Sky Sports!

Yes jah. I remember tony currie being a great player. Was wasted with games in the home internationals and then dropped for the real games.

Tony Currie was a Sheffield United star in the days when I never missed a home game. Even when we lost you knew watching him had been worth the price of admission alone. He once came to my local pub with half the United team because Geoff Salmons (United midfielder who had gone to my school) was having a party and the Lads all met up there first. It was rather irksome all the women in the pub swooning and drooling at this long blonde-haired, muscular-thighed Norse God who had entered our presence...with his scowling wife in tow who wanted to move back to London...He eventually went to Leeds but has been back at Bramall Lane a while now, no longer blonde and somewhat portly...

What I cant work out is that if a club like the gooners had a world class player who performed briliantly for the first couple of seasons and then drought kicked in for 3 years they would sell the player, thats a given. Maybe Arsen has got Teflon shoulders?


Nice blokes don't win premiership titles, maybe a change is in order.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
