Views on new Football Focus

Nothing lasts for ever, and FF used to be an ok thing to watch, whilst grabbing some lunch etc, but maybe im just getting sad / old and grumpy, for me its turned into a giggly, who can try & be the funniest / loudest etc.
No doubt life is great for both Alex Scott & Micah Richards, but come on, it aint that funny. Format is a tad boring, same old teams / faces etc, i suppose its either this or James Martin!

Agree100%

Micah Richards seems like a kid who can't control himself - booming laughter at what??? Alex Scott?? no real feelings - but never watch BBC anymore as everything has got to be "Inclusive" to the point where it's hard to find an interesting white male proffesional footballer getting any airtime.

Spot on. White (middle aged) male is an endangered species. Has anyone noticed how men no longer buy motor vehicles? Nor (apparently), do we drive them any more (unless its one of the hybrid Lexus models and then it makes us look like a demented James Bond!). We're not trusted with anything more responsible than acting as bag-carrier for female sports personalities advertising yoghurt or narcissistic idiots who are clearly inferior to their female partner.

Nice to see the advertising moguls have finally caught u with reality😉.

could be worse. you could have a cackling witch that slept her way to her job within a heartbeat or stroke from the leader of your country.

I'll take a laughing stooge that runs a football program any day over that. I can turn off the tube or radio anytime i want. don't have an option on the cackling witch.

I like Micah Richards but I feel like I see him on everything and he isn't a presenter, he is good TV but thats it.

That is the way TV, films everything is going. Everything has to be 'funny', I've lost interest in films these days as they're all just comedy based with crap jokes throughout and no real storylines. But don't criticise it because you know, someone might get their feelings hurt.

Really wish they'd hire people for being genuinely good at their job. Commentators, pundits, football presenters are all crap these days there aren't many who make anything remotely watchable only ones I can think of are McCoist, Carragher, Neville and surprisingly Jermaine Beckford! Yet we get the likes of Joe Cole and Karen Carney spouting absolute nonsense at least with Gabby Agbonlahor you know he is doing it for a reaction the other two (and many others i just can't be arsed listing them) have just said the first lazy comment they can think of.

Just look what they've done to Question of Sport and it tells you all you need to know about TV these days

I also like Micah Richards and yes ok it might be for the wrong reasons of course. But hes Ronseal isn't he, that means he does exactly what it says on the tin lol.
Hes always going to giggle a lot like hes just a little bit drunk at a school disco, and thats more entertaining for me than a lot of the so called expert pundits.
I watched Final score on the Bbc today for the first time in ages, and they still keep putting that cretin Dion Dublin on, the bloke who thinks hes a Bbc property presenter in his days off.

Me and Mr Wortley stopped watching Football Focus a long time ago. It steadily got worse over the years. It (IMHO) has now become a poster show for Political Correctness and the Woke Brigade. I don't mind Alex Scott and I admit I think Micah Richards is good (could be an age thing). I just long for a "proper" football discussion show that remembers there are 92 clubs in the leagues in England and there are a further 42 in the Scottish Leagues.

They just seem to obsess over the "so called" top English PL clubs with the odd piece on some other club just so they look as if they are about the whole of football. Yes, I know they can't mention every single club every single week but there are plenty of interesting stories to be told over a season.

Even Soccer Saturday is becoming boring a perfect example is today. I swear there was some sort of wa nkfest going on over Ronaldo before, during and after the 3 oclock kick offs. And call me an old fart but how I long for Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas and Matt Le Tissier.

Hello again our missis Wortley.

Ohh I haven't watched Sky soccer Satdy for ages now, and it angers me to hear that they messed about with their great line up of messrs Thompson, Nicholas, Merson, and Le Tiss.

Why mess about with a successful line up ehh when it clearly works and is clearly popular ?. I don't know why they got rid of them, and hey does Jeff Stello still present it these days, or has he been replaced by some obvious PC thing ?.

[norfolk white]

Why they kept merson on there is beyond me
