To be honest there isn’t much diversity on there.
Soccer Saturday sack Thompson, Nicholas and Le Tissier
- Thread starter Nico87
- Start date
How many ex-Liverpool ones do we think there’ll be?
Micah Richards would be perfect for this. He would tick the diversity box too if you wanted to put your cynical hat on.
Micah Richards is a walking City advertising hoardings. Count how many times he says ‘Etihad’ on TV even when City are not involved. He stopped playing for them some years ago, but I reckon he must get some kick back for the free advertising of a loss making airline. The Le Tiss and co are all ABU’s anyway and delight if we lose. No great loss.
Roy Keane please. Would love to hear him giving live commentary on games.
God knows how Merson survived the cull.
This has made me happier than it probably should do.
Decent pundits:
Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand, Pat Nevin, Gary Neville, Liam Rosenior, Thierry Henry, Alex Scott, Dion Dublin, Danny Higginbotham, Glenn Hoddle, Jermaine Jenas and Kevin Kilbane .
Decent presenters:
Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman.
Pretty much everyone else is shite.

Worried that he'd top himself probablyHow on earth has Merson survived the cull
Do they still bring on the hotties?
Good riddance.
no doubt with a female partner, taking turns on cue. Zero expertise and pure tokenism.
thre won’t be any real discussion - pure sound bites and tv version of click bait
It’s not about colour. They just too stupid.
It was time for a change. Glad Stelling and Kamara are still there.
Jimmy and Fenners? Yeah, they're the hosts now.
Stopped reading at Pat Nevin.
Wonder what Charlie Nicholas is doing now? I bet he's sitting there thinking...
He’s also an absolute clown that’s offers no insight either. But I guess he ticks the diversity box which is all TV cares about these days.
And added comedy value as he's thick as pig shit.
I'm all in favour of diversity but getting pundits who are funny,intelligent, a bit tongue in cheek is what they should be aiming for.
A black, lesbian, one legged Roy Keane would be perfect
Remember when Charlie Nicholas said African players have no self discipline. This was after the Chelsea/Arsenal fight in the league cup. Too bad social media wasn't about then.
I hope Soccer Saturday get relegated for this!!!!!
Oh how Ill miss..
Arsenal arent in a great run of form. Lost 5 in a row but I fancy them to come good here.
Liverpool 0 - 3 Arsenal

Even with his massive scouse bias I wouldn’t have minded Thompson staying as he at least understands the game. Le Tiss can only blame himself.
Charlie Nicholas won’t be missed, he’s a very bitter little man with no humour or insight.
Jeff Stelling should go as well. He’s outdated like his colleague Jim White.

Holy shit. This is legit amazing and unexpected. I'd like to them to get in actual likeable pundits who know their stuff. Would love to see Rio in there.
Lots of outlets going with “Sacked”.
What a way to dramatise things, sacked is a bit strong, most likely their contracts weren’t renewed

It's funny seeing all the gammon getting mad because of "PC hires" and "diversity quotas"
Embarrassing.
Embarrassing.
Wtf is that?
unbelievable Jeff.Yeah, interesting to see what direction they're going. If it's all a box ticking, diverse, woke, controversy free exercise, it'll be gone for good pretty soon. They need spice, they need humour they just have to lose the smugness and insert a bit of actual intelligent opinion.
I wasn't a fan of any of them and Merson too, definitely needed changing
Can't say I minded any of them when I used to watch. Haven't watched it in a long time though, just don't find the format interesting enough to hold my attention.
If United are playing I'll be streaming that. If I'm in on a Saturday afternoon and they're not I'd rather generally surf the internet/watch youtube and look at the latest scores 2 or 3 times during the afternoon rather than sit there for 2 hours or more giving eyes and ears completely over to waiting for goals to be scored. I don't care enough about other teams for that.

Loved Soccer Saturday growing up. But that was like years ago. Times have changed but none of this lot have and they've been irrelevant for years. I can't remember the last time I even watched it.
The show has had its day.
The rise of online scores/streams/instant highlights has made it irrelevant.
They could replace all of the panel and it won't make much difference.

You were doing so well and then suddenly, out of nowhere... Hoddle!
Man is a walking, talking tit.
It’s all he’s got left bless him. Totally clueless of course, but I do feel for him.
I find him insightful sometimes. Admittedly I've not watched him very often, but there was a game a few months back, maybe just before lockdown, where I was really impressed with him. It might have been 3 years since I'd seen him before that.
I used to love it in my teens and early twenties but now I can't watch it longer than 10 mins at a time.
I'll give it to the full 90 mins now if they hire someone decent.

I can barely understand a word Nevin says.
About time, all three are cretinous & have zero objectivity.
Happy days, Nicholas in particular was super annoying and anti United. I get that these guys have ties to their clubs, but at least the likes if Neville and Carragher offer genuine insight and entertainment. Will be good to see game predictions done by someone who isn't so clearly against us.
Wonder what Charlie is sitting there thinking now
