Premier League 2024/25

Checks who his 11th in a row opponent will be . . .

Oh.

It's 'oh dear'.

I was wondering from the description if it was a RedZone for football - that's a great show, will be giving this a try!

Obviously the set play nature of NFL lends itself to live following of the games better than football and they don’t go multi-box, but it’s probably as near as you can get it and Stelling is a good host for it. RedZone is a tough act to follow though, so I’m not knocking it, I still thought it was decent.

 

[jb5000]

Yeah, I can imagine the energy Stelling used to bring to Soccer Saturday being absolutely perfect

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Yep, I’ve been watching it too and it’s good. Not as good as RedZone for NFL, but a decent enough copy

If they can make that format a regular, sports bars in the UK might actually work.

I managed to watch a bit of Liverpool v Man City on Sunday and wow, I know I've said it before, but I cannot stand Peter Drury. He's an absolutely shit commentator.

"IT'S PETER DRURY"

He's bloody awful.

"IT'S PETER DRURY"

He's bloody awful.

Exactly, he just shouts names out all the time, it's painful and there's no real commentary to it.

 

[Billyjof]

If you watch the Aguero goal highlights and compare Drury and Tyler. Tyler just doing his job before losing it just a little bit.

Drury sounded like he was an emotional wreck at 80mins, with Man City losing “Where will they hide, how will they find the conviction to get out of bed in the morning”

Don’t get me started on Jim, specialised subject stating the bleedin obvious, Beglin.

 

[Billyjof]

Ange next in the sack race then?

 

[Miles Away]

I think Beglin is ok.

 

[homer]

Man Shitty **** up again and bloody give Palace a point

Hopeless ****s

 

[pork pie fox]

 

[Blaarev]

That looks quite awful! Hope all involved will be ok

Not great for us. But at least watching the fall of the house of Pep is a good laugh to compensate.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Stelling was host.
Dublin & Sherwood were 2, I don’t know who the other 2 were..??

Hard to comprehend that it was decent with those as pundits I know, but it was - in spite of them.

****ing Sherwood. How does that dozy twat keep getting work?

It's bad enough having to put up with games where Shearer is co-commentating. That soulless ****ing monotone & the inane observations of Captain ****ing Obvious while whoever the main commentator is struggles to describe the action thanks to having his tongue wedged up the Geordie wanker's arse for 90 minutes.

Makes me want to shit in my own hand & chuck it at the screen.

Properly hilarious Barnstoneworth United defending going on at Old Trafford. Fabulous stuff.

Best league in the world mate innit?

 

[fitz]

Onana (what's his name) time wasting with the free kick at the end was just the icing on the cack there. Rare to see that sort of shithousery from the side that's losing.

I know I say it every year but it's true. The standard in the PL gets worse and worse.

The defending is tragically bad. The managers are almost entirely shite. There aren't even that many good forwards.

The league is full of pissy passy mid-level midfielders that ponce about and earn millions for it.

There are some exceptional players. Salah, Palmer, Saka, De Bruyne, Van Dijk and a few others. But blimey the gap between what I see and what they tell me I'm seeing is staggering.

The football just isn't worth watching most of the time. As we're in the end days of Pep I do wonder what will follow. I can't imagine all leagues down to semi pro level suddenly abandoning this philosophy (lol). Maybe a year or so and teams might play individual styles to match their players' abilities.....
