Can't believe how sharp he is. The amount of information he Stores in his brain is amazing
Was good on countdown too.
Will miss him
I won’t miss him . Overrated presenter whom Sky overpaid. I could read the scores off an autocue and sound more interesting.
I remember when he had a Hartlepool shirt on , during a crucial relegation day . A complete fool. Glad Newport stayed up that year. Get shot of him, and get someone in his chair who’ s not plastic ,but knowledgeable and interesting at the same time. In other words , someone with a bit of class .
Jeff and Soccer Saturday go hand in hand and I am a fan of his delivery on that show, but I'm not comfortable with his continued betting advertising while sat next to his 'mate' Paul Merson who's a self confessed addict.
Surely that's Sky's problem, not Stelling, although i'm no fan of Stelling.Quote:

Please not Alex Scott!
Is Phil Thompson still on it ?
He's a plank
Julian Warren. He’s very good, and the natural successor to Jeff Stelling. Sky’s job will be to find somebody to act as his understudy, and that won’t be easy.Quote:

Agree, MR wasn't great.Quote:

Oh shit, well I guess I can always watch the scores coming in with the sound turned off!Quote:

I was wondering if it still got the same viewing figures it did during its peak anyway.Quote:

Do you think the viewing figures are likely to have dropped? If so, why? I know the BBC have tried to do a similar show but that’s looked a pale imitation on the handful of occasions I’ve watched it.Quote:

its one of those jobs where you think, this is basically just reading out loud and chatting shit about football, I could do that!
except if I tried I would undoubtedly be awful at it.
Agreed, I'm 49 and I thit it's outdated, a bit too shouty for my liking. Although stelling is fantastic at what he does. I bet he's been offered one of those waiting to die quiz shows that are on between 3 and 5 on a weekday afternoon.Quote:
