will matt chapman spoil cheltenham for everyone who has not got

Just make sure you have batteries in for the remote and mute.

he is annoying on a mediocre Saturday...........he will be unbearable at cheltenham

Blokes a loon a wannabe mccririck , why anyone would wannabe that god only knows. Mute wouldn't be without it.

will be unbearable if this Theatre Flame goes in.....cue " they had it right off "

His ego is uncontrollable

Already itching to be lead presenter

Keeps chipping in and interrupting Chamberlin and Bell trying to undermine them at every opportunity

I wish he'd been strangled at birth.

he tipped crapper

Reading his column in the Sun earlier, his tips for Cheltenham are all the shorties. Money for old rope.

Listening to this reptile over Cheltenham is going to be excrutiatingly painful and could well ruin the itv coverage . Having lambasted the programme in its early days i've started to feel that both Ed and Ollie are really growing into their roles however Chapman,the stupid woman in a hat who interviews stable girls and the weather girl should be dumped.Not sure McCoy will improve the festival coverage.

John from Wales is up for it.

Mute button never been used so much , starting to think i preferred the last CH4 offering.

The old Highflyer production by a million miles !

Current output is just tediously bland. So little charisma and formulaic

Horrible specimen of a human being, me me me me me, that is all he wants, mute, shame he isnt

to be fair as an atr employee he,s been on the outside looking in for years ,doing his best to give atr viewers a flavour of chelt through on the line,morning chelt interviews,irish angle etc ,so who can blame him if he makes the most of the biggest gig in his career,certainly prefer him to the monogroans of bell,fitz,harvey chamberlain ,pendo etc

'10/1 the winner,remember,that means if you had a pound on u get £10 back plus your pound stake.Just divide the bigger number by the second'

didn't realise he was such a shortar$e,reminds me of something off spitting image

His pathetic soundbites suggest to me he has the intellect of an average Daily Star reader.Unfortunately he seems to think that's his audience.
ITV just do us all a favour and dump him forthwith.His contribution to the programme is negative and I would suggest a turn off to anyone tuning into racing for the first time.

He won't spoil it for me as I much prefer him to Big Mac or Tanya.

... or Fitzy and Plunker

Big Mac had a personality. Chumpman does not. Tanya gave a totally factual accurate account of the betting. What was wrong with her? Not pretty enough? Sexism run riot. Alice has a demanding job trying to make an interview with the breathless winning jockey sound interesting. Not her fault. Blame the producers. Clueless. Totally out of touch and totally ignorant as to what racing fans need.

All we need are pictures of race and pre-race, with a factual race commentary.Nobody else required or their opinions andI doubt many listen to pundits choices or bookmaker fluctuations.
Most people have made up their minds well before these programs commence,so get rid.
Just my opinion and experiences.

Was hoping that ITV would ditch these pointless Plunkett "interviews" (and also Plunkett herself) by the time Cheltenham came around, but it looks as if we're stuck with her.
Depressingly, it also appears that Fitzgerald is here for the long term.

I'm really pleased he is on ITV as that means a little less on ATR.

i think he's great....most of you are miserable *******'s

Morgan in the words of Mcenroe   ...you cannot be serious.

He is entitled to his opinion, but he is obviously A, the man himself, or B, in need of urgent medical attention

Is Chapman's voice loss permanent? Here's hoping!

Yes, definitely will be watching the racing in future with the sound turned down apart from listening to the actual race commentary.

Looking at Morgan's posting history he was advocating adding 'chappers' to the C4 team....in March 14

the bbc model of osullevan \Wilson and jimmy lindley or john hamner..........with Dickie pitman in the winter months is the one I would like to see adopted.........you rarely saw pitman or jimmy lindley.........just heard them........the betting was done by graphics ..........no need for anyone in the ring..........no one shouting...........they did employ ex jockeys but a flat jockey never did the analysis on the jumps or vice versa ala micky fitz

Some real nasty types on here, ranging from Strangulation to being a mute !!! no less. Get a life and some humanity about you.

And this beauty from someone who cant spell or just does'nt check his work. Intellect Lol, what a nasty piece of work.

On the downside MR CHAPMAN, stop writing for the disgusting SUN. Akin to Blood Money.

Hope everyone enjoys Cheltenham.

I like Matt C in the ATR studio he does a good job there , i dont like him in his ITV role.

Two months into the ITV show and i'm not really enjoying it , not sure the characters involved are right for the job like someone said its "all a bit bland".

Didn't enjoy the last CH4 offering that much but i think this is as bad if not worse.

wasnt graham rock the beebs betting man along with statto?

the BBC also have a lot to answer for,they were the first ones to inflict fitzgerald on us,i believe.

barrowboy
rock and statto
then we had gal and parrot

Kevin blake would be a refreshing change imo.

barrow..........stato was with aussie jim..........never saw graham rock in the ring

Used to see Graham Rock on Saturday mornings doing greyhound live commentaries for Excel

with Dave Smith

at Hackney Wick

bbc had it right,you couldnt make it up
julian wilson despised the ordinary punter and grahem rock who landed some notable gambles wouldnt tell you where a birds nest was, ,
imagine chappers saying he should get on before the great unwashed and timeform jim landing an almighty sat gamble [ pasternak ] while sat in the studio and saying nothing,this forum would be in meltdown

Julian Wilson was a presenter...........don't remember graham rock being on that much

but wilson thought owners should get on at the best prices before the great unwashed because theyn pay the bills etc, code for not today josephine if the price has gone,

don't think too many people watch racing in order to follow someones tips

What gets me with the new set up in itv is we have three or four pundits/guests standing around a table outside in the winter months blowing papers about brollies up hat and scarves on, why are they not at least in a studio style set up it would look a lot better. moan over just bugs me

Yeeeee Haaaww. Cant wait
