Soccer AM Axed


It’s crap now, was good at the time with Tim Lovejoy and Helen Chamberlain. That was a different era though and watching it back now, I don’t think it’s aged well.

The odd time I watch it I think it’s better now. Don’t like Bullard but Fenley is good.

Also interesting the love that Lovejoy is getting. He got absolute pelters on here when he actually hosted it.

Social media made a lot of it irrelevant. A lot of what would be their content has been seen by most on Twitter by the time Saturday morning comes round.

Also they’ve slipped back to focusing on the top clubs whereas with TL and HC they covered all leagues. For example the background of the set now is portraits of players from the big 6 and WSL.
 
I didn't mind it, it is what it is. Unsure why some had such strong opinions about it. I hope they replace it with a better alternative.
 
Used to enjoy watching it when I was a kid with Helen and Lovejoy but if I rewatched it now I'm sure I'd find it just as shite as it is now.
 
Soccer AM was very much like the Fast Show back in the day. Lots of catch phrases delivered by characters like Sheep Head “light drizzle” and Barry “that’s a right touch”
It was funny.

Interesting that the guy on the Social show replacing it was Baby Elvis ( or similar) on Soccer AM.
I think he’s also Judith Chalmers’ son, so he’s had a leg up in the industry.
 
It worked back in the day, but half the stuff they had on it back then wouldn't be deemed suitable for viewers now...the piss taking, the Soocerette.

They'd probably pull the old 'Big Breakfast' from airing these days due to having interviewon being held on a bed!

You could say social media like Twitter etc has done the same thing to other shows like fantasy football
 
Shame that. I still quite enjoy now. Some of it is genuinely quite funny and I enjoy the drills, fan volleys etc. They also have some decent guests on and have had some quality bands on over the years.

Aye I'm nee Bullard fan but on the odd occasion I watch I do enjoy the bits where he gets his arse handed to him doing the drill challenges. Usually funny seeing the fans and celebs fuck up their challenges too.

The show is nowt special but it's easy enough to take it or leave it.

That's what I'm feeling as well mate. I don't know why people take it so seriously it's meant to be a laugh and an easy watch.
