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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
