Who is the person on the Nick Luck show on now ?

Neil Channing, lol, always looks like that. Pro punter, pro poker player, ex bookie, gravy train employee, quite intelligent though.

I like him and is quite an interesting bloke, much better than most of the boring people they have on.

In Victoria Coren's brilliant poker book For Richer Or Poorer I'm pretty sure he is the player described as The Chimney Sweep, good description!

Left wing grifter,you could have had his Cheltenham tips for £180

Ha ha, thank you.  I had heard of him but had no idea who he was.

Yes Doorman,  chimney sweep is a very good description.  With danger of sounding like Victor Meldrew which I'm not - surely you would have a shave and put a shirt on to go on the telly ?   
I've seen tramps better dressed.  haha

Probably the most interesting guest he'll have on for some time.

Does he not possess a comb?

Does it worry you?

Exactly

Spot on.

And if you ever do see a poker-pro wearing a suit - it's probably not going too well imo!

Nick Luck should get Y@tes, Channing and 'Nevo' all on at the same time. What's the collective noun for champagne socialists?

People should at least make the effort…..

ffs it's all faked up for his carefully crafted citizen smith persona. what could be better than putting on some bansky tat for the telly.

Has the politics forum been closed down like chit-chat?

Did you not watch the Sunday broadcast of LoS? Plenty of politics discussed on the show, Luck doing his best Paxo with the minister for gambling. Usual sly comments from Channing. So maybe take the sarcasm and place it where the sun don't shine.

I don't think I've ever seen Channing on one of these shows where he hasn't somehow crow barred his political proclivities into the chat.

You don't seem able to post on any topic without reminding us of your political views.

The collective noun for such people is a livid.

There was a lovely bloke on the program a few weeks ago , well groomed , smartly dressed and really looked the part.

May as well have been deaf & dumb for all he contributed.

Yes but was he a communist or was he far right?

You're going to need to show me where I've posted my political views on this thread. The thread is about Channing and I've commented on his. He's hardly hiding them under a bushel. The OP commented about his attire, and I am explaining it. Directly connected to his brand of politics.

He just can't resist and hang on for a minute or two and he'll start talking about covid.

Desperate for the show to finish so he can empty the plate in front of him……

it's like dumb and dumber, sparrow. Channing has literally been sitting on that sofa adorned with Labour supporting t shirts. I sense, that may be political. At least, he wants everyone watching to know where his politics are. What do you reckon?

I couldn't care less about his politics as he is not there to discuss them.  Go and watch your GB News or whatever they call it.

It's WHY he looks like a tramp on the show. The OP was about that. Would you prefer a dot to dot ?

Any in any case, politics is exactly WHY he is currently being invited on. As he is supposedly an expert on the political machinations of gambling reform. So the fact he is extremely, unashamedly politically biased is absolutely relevant.

Oh sorry didn't realise it was a fashion boys thing.

It helps to read the OP.

Says cider who hardly ever follows the script.

Cider,absolutely spot on,a few months ago Luck posted a pic of them pre show with Channing with an ordinary T shirt on,when the show started he'd changed it one with a silly political message on it,can only assume he knows where some bodies are buried as for all I know he might be the best poker player ever but his racing knowledge is limited to say the least.

Who you agree with Farage or Eddie?

Or this one with Russell Brand

Not good viewing but you still watching the BBC

As Rico would say THICK AS......................

Right wing idiot talking about Farage at 2 in the morning and wanting me to watch all that crap. As rico would say........

I have never seen or heard anything about him apart from when he is on Luck on Sunday. He has some sensible views at times but he is there to fill a woke spot-not a trainer, owner or jockey therefore willing to be critical but he is on far too often.

wearing a beatles tee shirt, and you like his politics when he,s been the number one fighter amongst mp,s against the gambling white paper for last 3 to 4 yrs,its the right wing tory party stopping your freedom to bet,drink,smoke,vape as you please,NOT CHANNING

Successful professional gambler just there to fill a "woke spot" whatever that is supposed to mean.

pro punters woke,other than union jack underpants and jackboots what isnt so called woke these days

You lot never learn! Even your beloved BBC had to say sorry for calling people far right yesterday

Your a typical far left, now calling your own bbc crap you really couldn't make it up and thinking there's not 24 hours in a day.

Conclusion: Far left, do one of 3 things, take all you can of GOV: be in a union all your life and pretend you care about others or go on marches and cause chaos for the people who want to try and pay taxes for their country.

I guess your number 2, probably done number 3 and wishing you were number 1.

What you would you know about my tax paying and anything else, carla? 

Go back to bed you fool.

there hasnt been a left wing gov in the uk since the 70,s ,over 50 yrs ago and you still bang on about these imaginary socialist govs weve never had or voted for, the ones that tried milliband,corbyn got hammered at the ballot box

Sparrow....u need a bit more sleep m8....u dont seem to be able to string a coherent sentence together

obviously other than BORIS JOHNSON who was most left wing PM since harold wilson and who everyone on right on here voted for

Thank you for alerting me to my grammatical errors.

And what would you know about me sparrow?

Oh forget number 4, far left always say you're a fool when they can't answer.

Watch the 2 clips and if you still think Farage is wrong, it's people like you why this country is where it is today, hope you and your family got private health care.

As for bed, been up 36 hours still working to pay my taxes for the people you love

Typical pompous right wing types with such high opinions of themselves.

No problem sparrow.....ur grammatical errors a clear sign imo you are getting flustered and frustrated.....i would take time out if I were you

farage was wrong about brexit ending/cutting immigration,helping fishing,farming,export industries,wrong about usa FTA , backed trusses budget,  stood his brexit mp,s down to back johnson said putin wouldnt invade ukr 12 hrs before they did.basically never been right about anything in his entire life, points out all the problems to the gulible morons without any of the answers

channing wants to nationaliss the railways, water companies,energy companies along with 80% of uk public, not exactly a far left crank,all failed by thatcher/tory privatisation

With regards Brexit the establishment didnt like the way the majority voted and have never implemented what Brexit was supposed to be as a way of punishing us. Many parties have manifestos to woo in voters but rarely implement the manifestos when in power. Democracy is an illusion.....the establishment do what they want whether the electorate agree or not

The current favourite excuse of those who foisted this disastrous decision on our country. However, the younger generations who did not vote to leave will eventually put things right.

1st time poster- how can he be wrong about Brexit when we still in the EU, remoaners hating the latest data that we are finally doing far better than they thought even though they've been back to supreme court a thousand times and stopped any sort of Brexit paper.

None so blind as those...........

68% of voters want a return to EU.obviously dont think its going as well as you think it is

This is what is holding our country back, people like you telling your kids/grandkids that you can reverse Brexit!! It can't happen and never will.

If you think 68% of population want open borders then I feel sorry for you, both of you must live in the only parts of UK where this madness hasn't hit you yet.

Trust me he won't be paying 80% tax to pay for it, our grandkids will be though.

Wasn't he the front for badbeat.com what went bust in 2014?

It can't happen and never will.





Well I expect a few thought the same after the 1975 referendum.

1975 The EU is a failing state today, strong as hell back then.

There are many people who are just too stubborn to admit they were and are wrong. They will NEVER change their views even if the blatantly obvious is staring them in the face. Not naming names but you KNOW who you are

Says that man above looking in his mirror.

Imagine getting invited onto any channel and turning up disheveled showing no respect…..making statements with a top that’s never seen an iron ffs…

They wouldn’t give him the time of day if he stood next to them being an everyday punter (fodder)…
