I’m all for diversity but FFS have people on the TV that speak eloquently. None of this cockney gangsta **** or scouse.
I used to enjoy soccer Saturday with some of the old guard. It wasn’t their football knowledge but some of the stories they’d tell from their playing days.
The new crop is crap.
I’m not gonna slate women’s football. It’s in its infancy compared to the men’s game. It’s growing in popularity which is great. What I hate is the entitlement that some feel that they should get paid the same as men. I see that the Arsenal V Chelsea game got 59k. However, Brisbane road was largely empty for Spurs v Man Utd.
As for BBC SPOTY - it’s merely a popularity contest that personally I have no interest in.
