I quite enjoyed the lockdown top 10 motd's.
I see you and spurly watched a few during lockdown, couldnt think of anything worse myself but then I'm not a fan of many who appear on there, dixons probably the only one who doesn't irritate me massively.

Loved hearing stories from Ian Wright. The one about him smashing up the officials dressing room was jokes.

Hope they go with younger guys who sail a bit close to the line. The thing that made soccer Saturday is the banter between the ex players. Get some lads in who will speak their mind. Even someone like Joey Barton would be funny (I know he is currently managing).

There will be certain criteria to fill. We'll end up with Aluko. She ticks alot of boxes.

I just want to watch lads have that changing room banter whilst watching the telly. Hopefully they will get it right.
Aluko is an odious, obnoxious ****wit imho

Alex Scott, Ian Wright, and Neville are good to listen to.
O'hara and Roy Keane just say whatever ever comes into their heads snd have no filter so are hugely entertaining.
I liked Maureen when he did some punditry ... was interesting listening to him give an honest unbiased view .

It used to be the thing you didn't miss on a weekend usually, but that was down to lack of other options imo, which people have now so yeah it's dying a slow death.

Dont think I've ever paid a TV license, never will either

I used to love rolling off the nest just in time to hear the start of the theme tune

Maureen embarrassed them all, it was so painfully obvious that the pundits truly had no idea how the game was managed and coached.

Honestly, you don't need to be a former footballer to comment on what mistakes people are making.
 
Oh yeah, I'm not saying that girls don't know their stuff but I'd rather hear a Roy Keane give an opinion on what he sees and his opinion on what must it be like in that dressing room etc than someone who played for Arsenal Ladies. It probably comes across as being sexist as f**k but that's not my intention.

For example I remember a few months back a question put to the panel about dressing room dynamics after a Premier League game. The panel was Jamie Redknapp, Alex Scott and Ruud Gullit. Alex Scott interrupted Redknapp whilst discussing a mens dressing room after a game. If it was a woman's game and I was on the panel I'd just shut up as I have no experience in a womens changing room after a woman's game.

If your on a lads night out and some soppy bastard brings their girlfriend it affects the dynamic of the group. Soccer Saturday is a bit like that (had gone a bit stale though) and I think a female analyst might screw up the banter.


Only sexist if you didn’t watch because she is a woman.
 
No one gives a **** how good at analysing the game they are. Merson is a medical miracle just to still be breathing and can’t string a coherent sentence together but the chemistry between them all is great.

Can understand losing Le Tiss who is becoming increasingly batshit mental while the other two are waning a bit. Just hope they’re not trying to take it down too much of a Soccer AM forced bantz route or attempting to bring in people actually qualified to comment on the football but dull as **** at doing it.

I don’t dislike Clinton Morrison when he does it. Stupid but can have a laugh with the group. It’ll probably be Matt Murray with all the personality of candle.
 
The two Jamie's and Neville to replace them.

Or... Souness, Keane and Eamon Dunphy. I'd defo watch that, just for the straighteners.
