I don't have Sky Sports (except SSN) but I understand there is a new feature this season for Premier League games; they do a short 'interview' with one of the players during the half time break Surely there can be no dumber, more pointless gimmick than that. During half time players surely want to rest a little, clear their minds, listen to the gaffer... not give a stupid interview to a Sky camera crew. What are they expected to say?? It will be live cameras in the dressing rooms at half time next. Nothing is sacred to these TV vultures.
They'll be interviewing the players in the showers after the match next. You'll see. The segment will be sponsored by Brut (used by real men).
This. Players are all media trained from an early age. They have to be, otherwise the press will slaughter them for the slightest indiscretion. All interviews will be more or less the same bland nothingness.
Muppets on Talk Sport asking "is it too early to say we've seen the match of the season?" (Liverpool v Newcastle). Yes it is. Honestly, that station should be re-named Talk Bo**ocks.
As opposed to the above link, Andy Woodman is absolutely hilarious. You MUST watch this all the way through, and also part 2 where he comes out with an hilarious story when he was in a pre-match warm up Nicky Weaver.
Of the last 1000 players signed by the current 92 clubs, it would be very interesting to know how many of these have been seen live by the managers.
Absolutely, all cobblers. I think the xg is based on probability of doing something, total horses***.
