Lol, he's a man of many talents.

When will he be getting his own cooking show?

Jack of all trades, master of none

 

[lazerblue]

It'll be Mark Chapman, Danny Murphy and Micah Richards

i'd like to see Paul Calf and fat Bob standing in

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Will be very surprised if Micah appears as he often does the Top 10 MOTD programme with Linekar and Shearer.

Yeah he's probably doing our game on Sky so he wouldn't on been on the BBC on the same day

 

[meeesh]

Chapman,Dion Dublin and Danny Murphy

Where they didn't get it is all the presenters and pundits went freelance coz the BBC wanted to emulate its rivals so all these presenters and pundits have other gigs so unlike days of yore when Hansen and Lawrenson relied on the BBC these days they don't. What do they do with Alex Scott? Bin her off all progs - well Jenas would join in ref the One Show as he knows he'd have a target on his back. Radio summarisers have other gigs too as they are free lancers - the Spartacus style ramifications for the Beeb from this mess are huge

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out,
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out,
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out,
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.”​

I don't think anybody tunes in to MOTD for the presenter or pundits on it, they tune in to watch the highlights. As anybody who has been on strike or a dispute with a company knows somebody will always offer to do your job. Actually this could get quite interesting. What if nobody does? What if the commentators refuse to do their jobs?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Good to see his colleagues taking a stand. Going to be fascinating to see who actually ends up on the show tomorrow.

Do the BBC have any women of colour (is that what you have to say nowadays?) who are non binary and transitioning to be male on the books currently?

 

[Coatigan]

Plenty of other people can fill this void with more aplomb than these two imo. He gets paid way too much anyway. Be good to see others get a chance. Amazed that this is headline news. Jesus wept.

The headline news isnt about the motd pundits, but rather the BBC.

The David Attenborough natural history progs are superb, a one coming on sunday about the british isles.
Happy Valley i enjoyed
Better is good.
Quite a few crime serials and docs ive seen on iplayer have been good.
I think people get too worked up about the BBC,
Prob daily mail readers .

Sounds like both Daily Mail and Grauniad readers are at the Beeb's throat today.

 

[I'm Blue]

I look forward to motd this weekend with Sam Smith and cannot wait for them’s pick for their them of the match award

 

[Elbow beards]

Perfect excuse for the BBC to ditch motd at the end of the current deal and claw back the vast amount of money it costs

Bring back 'it's a knockout' . What's Stuart Hall up to nowadays?...oh.

 

[lazerblue]

no lineker, wright or shearer is a great incentive to tune in!

Huh?

 

[Metal Biker]

no lineker, wright or shearer is a great incentive to tune in!

If we lose and Arsenal win, I won't be, regardless of who is presenting.

 

[bowp]

Huh?

He is a lefty. Sad really.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Huh?

???

I don't get the relevance of the quote regarding this issue.
