Match of the Day

When i was a schoolboy in the previous century, Motd showed highlights of two games. On Sunday, the ITV region usually showed another two. If I was at my nan's Sunday, I could squeeze two ITV broadcasts in as she had a different aerial. Depending which way the wind was blowing, could get Huge Johns on Midlands or Gerry Harrison on Anglia as well as Keith Macklin on Leeds, sorry Yorkshire. So on a stellar weekend, I might get highlights of six games. That was all we had and Motd was pretty essential to a ten year old. Sadly, it's had its day. Pretty much all games from all divisions are available now. I only tend to watch if we've stuffed one of the darlings to see the boilt piss steam from pundits and managers. Fine by me if it continues but no longer a must see.

Lineker is an excellent host who effortlessly bridges the divide between pundit/presenter. You either replace him with someone who is more a pundit or someone who is more a presenter, at which point any discussion reverts to pundits explaining what you can see for yourself. His BBC salary is high, true, but he attracts flak because it is paid directly, whereas others have their salaries hidden via production companies.

Yes, it's amazing how many probably get paid more than him by the BBC but use any means open to them to hide it via different routes. Kudos to Lineker for not going down that route.
I love the way he takes the Mickey out of Shearer. Shearer used to be ok but this last couple of seasons he is getting more and more boring and as if he doesn't really care as long as he is getting paid. No interest somehow.
As for Jenas well he is just absolutely sleeping pill time.... actually he might cure my insomnis!!! ;-)
 
They should get a few youtubers to host Match of the Day and they can incessantly shout in high pitched voices and chaotically jump around the studio and tell us all how to think.

Not for me he won’t, he’s a sanctimonious, hypocritical, champagne socialist fucktard..
People are not hating on him for his ability to present a football show it’s all of the above, I think you will find …
 
Lineker's podcast is brilliant. Could listen to him talk football all day. I also don't pay the TV license fee so I couldn't give a fuck what he earns.
 
For everyone who says it’s had its day, there are plenty who still enjoy the familiarity and the tried and tested format.

Having Jenus hosting it would test my resolve though ‘innit’

Should go back to the days of having an experienced host from a journalistic background rather than football, maybe?

Gabby Yorarth would do a good job though. Not even sure if she works for the BBC these days.
 
Lineker's massive salary is collected by burly debt collectors knocking on the doors of single parent families on the poorest Council estates in the country.

He further bolsters his income selling crisps to the already obese inhabitants on the same council estates.

He has the worst 'beard' I've ever seen on a man. In fact not just men, I've seen grannies with more luxuriant facial hair.

Puns don't work. 400 years ago they didn't work for Shakespeare in the Globe and they don't work in the 21st century either.

To be clear I don't like the ****.

I'm also not sure why anyone would listen to any of these ex players or presenters. If you have to watch a game on telly, turn on the box with one minute to go, do something else at half time, and turn it off at full time.

There's no such thing as a good pundit. They're all stealing a living.
