A vibrant studio audience of genuine fans will also give their opinions. No lengthy punditry, no football clichés, this is football on 5 at its most exciting.
Record it at 9 then watch it at 10.30 fast forward the ****ing adverts and go to bed before midnight when it would be just starting on bbc.
Yay! Adverts! Thank God for recording and video-on-demand. I wouldn't be surprised if, despite the interruptions, it was better than the Football League Show, because that was just a ****ing shambles.
They haven't announced the presenters of this yet have they? They asked Ian Wright and Stan Collymore to be on it, but Wrighty said Collymore was 'the last person I'd want to present a football show with'.
9pm to 10.30pm then switch over to MOTD. I expect adverts at the end of each league at the very least.
I record most things that aren't live sport and zip through the adverts its the only way, it's a shame that you can't get an Adblock-Plus type thing for adverts on Tv like you do for Firefox/Google Chrome
Surely they can get a better pair than these two?! I'd go for Beagrie and a different one each week, like Rosys dad or even Windass
Can't stand Collymore or Wright but I suppose its catch 22, at least they keep you awake by getting on your nerves!
Ian Wright would be a good choice, talks more sense than most former footballers. Collymore is a raving lunatic, his talking **** to talking some sense ratio is too high for my liking, 8:1 in favour of talking ****. I'd imagine they would go for Kammy and and ex player, Jimmy Bullard possibly? He hasn't been on TV recently (As far as I'm aware), so he would probably jump at the chance, if it was offered to him.
