Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas and Matt Le Tissier

[McBrid]

All sacked from Gillette Soccer Saturday by Sky Sports. Bit shocked by that they have been doing it for years!!

 

[McBrid]

This is according to the sun anyway.

Wouldn't be too shocked - they're the wrong generation now.... with Neville, Carra, Richards etc

Yeah but Neville etc don’t do soccer Saturday. I will imagine they will have Clinton Morrison lined up for a permanent role. No mention of Merse being sacked

Yeah, i could see someone like Sue Smith doing it as well

Definetly she has been in and out for a while now. I’m guessing a permanent 4 of Morrison, Merse, Sue Smith and Matt Murray

Old men out, young women in. Its the modern way.

Botham & Gower replaced by the two women on Sky sports.

Ah really. Looks like w shake up all round then. I am not sure it’s for the better though

 

[TeaCider]

Surprised by that, but I suppose it's got
to happen sometime.

Can't stand Sue Smith's punditry, but she's nailed on for it.

Would much sooner Alex Scott came in than Sue Smith.

Agree with that. Scott is better to listen to

I can literally just see it now, Stelling, Merse, Sue Smith, Morrison then Matt Murray.

So long as Jacqui Oakley isn’t on it (commentator I know). The best female pundit is Alex Scott by a mile. She is far better than many of the blokes too.

I hope Jeff stays on. Love him. I actually liked Charlie Nicholas and Le Tiss aswell but wasn’t fussed on Thompson his Liverpool bias was a bit over the top

How did Merse keep his job? Words come out of his mouth but none of them make any sense. He's absolutely terrible.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Thompson is well past his sell by date for me

horrendous too

I actually think with him they have probably kept him on simply because of his mental health. He has said the show is good for him so I reckon it may be the reason

What have his mental problems been?

 

[McBrid]

What have his mental problems been?

He has said the show has stopped him gambling etc and give him a focus. They got him on regularly during the football show during lockdown to keep on making sure he was alright so I’m pretty certain that is the reason he has been kept on. Understandable for me

Yeah, it wouldn't be good for their PR if they sacked him and he fell of the wagon.
