Soccer AM Axed


I didn't mind it but I hadn't watched for years.
Maybe it just needs new presenters to give it that kick up the arse that's sometime needed.
 
Andy Goldstein was on Talksport last night talking about. He said when Lovejoy went he took all the writers with him and halfway through the season in a meeting he sat there and thought “this isn’t as good as it used to be”, which is quite damning from the host at the time.

The writers were essentially what made that golden period of Soccer AM and for whatever reason they’ve never been able to get that back or create something that is of its time and funny.

I can imagine - but the funny/entertaining parts of the Lovejoy/Helen period wouldn’t be allowed now. Go woke, go broke…
 
Miss Sunday supplement and goals on Sunday me
Bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee… pulling myself round after a heavy Saturday night… missus out of the way. A crazy decision to take it off the air. Loved it.
 
Lost its way sadly, it was once awesome but just gradually got shut down on what they could get away with. Just the way of the world where people don’t accept anything other than political correctness so anything risqué is just cancelled and nullified.

I do wish we lived in a world where people could try to understand the perspective of other people’s views, cultures and lifestyles and engage in debate to change them rather than simply shut them down but I think that ship has sailed given the power of social media now.
 
I always think of the legendary when Saturday comes review of Lovejoys bio

"There’s something sinister here, too: beamingly positive, thrilled by wealth, too pleased with himself to ask awkward questions, Tim Lovejoy is the football fan Sepp Blatter has been waiting for. "

 
Never saw it. Any good.

This quote always gets me :lol::oops:

“The hardest thing about leaving Soccer AM,” he says regretfully, “is the thought that I might no longer be influencing the game.”
