Match of the Day

Not arsed always have it on mute, I don’t need some **** to tell me about the game I make my own mind up.

Gabby still works for the BBC, she presented the London Diamond League Athletics, on BBC1 last Saturday.

She’s very good. She did a stint as a guest co-host on Pointless recently.

Most of them are professional actors and TV personalities/ comedians who’ve trained and worked their whole careers in front of the camera but look ill at ease and amateur doing something maybe a little bit out of their comfort zone.

Gabby was probably the best one they’ve had. Totally at ease and natural.

She’s a very good presenter. Having also had the experience of competing at top level sports, she’s a perfect sports programme host really.

Bring Colin Murray back to host the main gig.

I'm struggling to think of other hosts with the right personality for the role.

BBC will probably go for Leanne Sanderson as she fits their rag quota.

It's getting more and more Americanised, just bring in pundits who have played the game and install a front man who can hold it all together.

Nobody needs a jack Russell juggling fire in the background to keep viewers entertained, just talk about the football and the tactics and football fans will be happyish.

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.

Spot on my man..!

Charmed, I'm sure.

Bring back The Premiership on ITV at 7pm!

Andy Townsend and the tactics truck!!!

It's been too long, good riddance. Outstayed his welcome like England at the Euros.

Time for a change and for it to get back to just the one presenter with a very quick analysis of the match and then onto the next.

She is always very good on the athletics too.

Too many ex-player presenters seem to be still stuck with the mentality that using correct English is not 'cool'.
Don't want to end up ostracised by the likes of Robbie Fowler waving his arse at you on the pitch because you are can use tenses correctly and have a broad vocabulary.

Andy Townsend and the tactics truck!!!

I forgot about that!

Remembering Andy Townsend and his ill-fated Tactics Truck

It was the footballing equivalent of moving Coronation Street to the BBC, making Songs of Praise pay-per-view or simply executing Ant & Dec by firing squad. Back in 2000, ITV shocked the nation by winning the rights for Premiership highlights and unceremoniously cancelling Match of the Day in...

Perhaps the Walking Waistcoat will take it on. Tactical insight would be fascinating…….

I hope not, I want to see him at the rags.

Funnily enough I’ve always thought the complete opposite in Martin Keown’s case.

On the face of it, he appears to be quite eloquently spoken. In comparison to the majority of footballers at least.

It’s only when you take notice of the actual words he’s speaking that you realise virtually every single one of them is unadulterated fucking nonsense.

Nedum Onuoha speaks very well.

Germ Genius is about as insipid and insightless as they get - he'll do for MOTD what Alex Scott did for Football Focus.

It's ridiculous how long they analyse. They even spent like 15 mins analysing the team the Rags used once during the tail end of 2012-13 and they were not even playing that day.
