Soccer AM Axed


Max Rushden is an excellent host of the Guardian podcast, one can only assume he looks back on his Soccer AM days with pure disdain. Type of fella who holds his hands up to be fair.
 
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!
They'd never do stuff like Ho Chi Minger or take the mick out of womens football, like Lovejoy did. Not acceptable today.

Nice bloke but his shows are shit. He’s got the main Saturday morning slot on talkSPORT as well which is ‘fun’. On a Saturday I want good sport show, not some daft **** doing quizzes and ringing his mates up.
Aye, i would love to see the viewing figures when his shows are on. Bet they drop rapidly!
What was best about the show and what made it a laugh just wouldn’t be acceptable in the modern day, that to me is what makes it shit today as much as (if not more than) the change of presenters. Great show of its time in the 90s to early-mid 2000s but society has changed dramatically and the show having to adapt to that just didn’t work.
The world has become a boring place mate.😜
I like him but listening to TS on a saturday and autobigraphy wars comes on it promptly gets turned off...its fking awful
It's cringing as mate.

It's honestly absolutely awful, agreed.

Years ago pre smartphones and wifi etc, I used to switch it on to check the tables or genuinely to get informed news as it was quicker than plugging in the old dsl cable into the pc (from the phone socket downstairs, upstairs to the pc) and taking about 5 minutes to switch on and 5 mins to load up google and the bbc website via dial up internet. This was like early/mid 00s.

It had a purpose then.

It's pointless now, waffles on about not much at all. You could read a page on a website within seconds rather than the same things being blandly repeated on a loop on SSN every hour all day.

Them 2 blokes who rattle on about transfers / club finances give me the creeps anarl.

I bet one is Kaveh Solhekol. The boring **** would send a glass eye to sleep.
 
Was an ok watch back in the 90's early 2000's , but got dated obviously recently they changed the format, and became more PC. But never really caught it the same way again. Probably right to cancel now.
 
A staple of Saturday mornings growing up. Fond memories of the Christmas specials as a kid. Even though I didn’t understand half the jokes and innuendos.

Happy days. Save Chip and don’t let Sarah win.
 
Stopped watching a few months before lovejoy left, I realised then how annoyed I got at seeing his face and hearing his voice

I later found out that after a few replacements jimmy bullard got the nod for the role, I was never going back to watch it with that knob on, people might hate ronaldo, maradona or rodwell, my main hate in football was always that screachy, greesy haired prick, can’t stand him
 
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.

Not sure that’s her son. Mark Durden Smith innit? Unless there’s a relation there.
