They know how to wazz off their viewers. when I did watch in it was just hopeless terribly just total pants not again. Gillette must pull the plug soon on that evidence. I'll even watch the BBC thought they were always crap they win by a short head now the laughter and spontaneity has gone what next really was awful.

Its a shadow of the programme it used to be.

Its amazing how they can get it so badly wrong. Id love to see the viewing figures compared to say 10 years ago

They have M2 ....cut their football reporting staff in half, lot of longstanding people gone, some replaced by lower wage newcomers i would presume.

Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to have Neil Lennon anywhere near a microphone should be let go of as well.

Huge boots to fill.

This show was available on freeview a few years ago, so, assuming it gets interest from advertisers, it’s a surprise they haven’t gone for a beefier revamp, especially as they plough dollars in the direction of the spitter Carragher and others for big game punditry.

Seemed to be lots of technical glitches which meant they weren’t able to cover as many grounds. Even the dim but jocular Clinton Morrison seemed to be a bit p*ssed off when they crossed over to him: “Nothing has happened since you spoke to me very recently.”

Jeff Stelling was a graduate of the BBC and I was surprised they didn’t dip into that pool again. I would have thought John Murray would have been a good shout, but having googled him, he has the proverbial great face for radio. Connor McNamara would also be a good shout, imo.

if they have neil lennon on the panel it shows how out of touch with reality they are

I'd have the Guardian football weekly panel on there, Max Rushden presenting and Glendenning for starters would shake things up a bit.Laugh

The Sunday supplement was another they fecked up.
It was very enjoyable  in the days of Jimmy Hill and Brian Woolnough with a panel of senior football writers.
Plenty of insight and stories with some of them having personal relationships with Wenger fergie etc.
They then went woke with women ,coloured and ethnic panellists replacing the old stalwarts.
That wouldn't have been an issue if we knew them or they were witty or insightful but alas they were dull as dishwasher.

The conversation turned to issues inside football rather than the football itself  and it became unwatchable.
Ratings must have plummeted as the ditched it soon enough after.

They just can't seem to help themselves imo.

Maybe they could put an alternative anti woke panel on the red button.start off with big Ron,marsh,Andy gray ,Brazil.that would help the ratings

They have to start realising they are not cheap and the more they lose sports and serve up agenda programmes their subscription list will dwindle.
Streaming already decimating it but losing decent programmes outside of  the live action just makes it so much easier to quit and save a ton a month.
