I know.
I actually upset myself with that post

Now imagine her looming at you in 4d through a VR headset and dolby surround sound?

Despite being a rag supporter, when I have watched him Mark Chapman comes across well imo , just so long as he doesn't have to have Micah Richards making a tool of himself apart of the deal.

Phew, saved by the first comma.

Does all this mean the cost of our tv licences are coming down?

To balance things out, I agree with most of his political comment.
I think that he has been the best presenter of recent times. MOTD has become rather irrelevant now though, as we get 24 hour coverage of the game elsewhere.

I know what you mean although I’m not sure I’d use the word irrelevant. MOTD is still essential viewing for a huge number of people who don’t have the subscription sports channels and don’t / won’t stream games illegally.

Despite enjoying Lineker’s affable personality and presenting skills though I find it to be almost unwatchable these days. Ten minutes of highlights of a match are usually followed by at least the same amount of time engaged in a dull as ditchwater, overlong discussion of it which often includes lengthy and patronising tactical “analysis” which is usually blindingly obvious to anyone who watches football. I imagine that most people just TiVo it and fast forward thru all the chatter.

That's very true but it also might really be a white male. Depends how much weight is given to experience of the men's game (as far as I know MOTD is a program about the men's game`, why not have a version of MOTD for the women's game?)

It might turn out to be a white male. And I doubt a single person would then question that.

Although it seems that numerous people on here know for a fact it’s going to be a black female, so it’s probably a moot point.

It gets more collective viewings per season than Sky’s Super Sunday actual live games.

Ambivalent about him ,until his smirking and giggling comments, when they were showing the wrecked City coach being towed away after the dipper scummy's had taken Turkey Teeth's advice and given the City team " a warm welcome". After that I have no time for the self important pillock.

Good riddance! The rubber faced smarmy twat!
