Just reading an atricle about Jeff Stelling in a north east paper ( no internet link ) and it got me thinking just how good he is as the man who holds together Soccer Saturday.
Jeff says " the show itself is unique , we are very happy about how positively it has been received by football fans from a wide variety of clubs its taken on all-comers the BBC have a show behind the red button itv did the goal rush and BT have plans to rival it next season when they get their PL coverage.
Soccer Saturday is my first love but the chance to work on the Champions League at the Bernabeu was an amazing expeirence I looked around I'm a council boy from Hartlepool and this is where I have ended up."
What do people on here think of Jeff Stelling and Soccer Saturday ?

Quality presenter but a bollix in real life. A fella I work with is the coach of a youth team who Stellings son plays for. A constant prick on the touchline giving dogs abuse to the linesman, referee etc. Apparently it's fookin incessant. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

I don't mind Stelling he can be quite funny. What I can't stand is the over dramatic, over cockneyed 'pundits' such as Le Tissier & Merson. All of a sudden both are comedians & love to scream "WHA' A GO JEFF" at the top of their voices. By far the worst on it though is "Po' Walsh", possibly the most over cockney & uneducated man ever to appear on Sky Sports. Stelling is good & I enjoy Kamara but the rest do my head in almost to the point where I can't watch them for any more than 5 minutes. |

Yeah sometimes they think they are comedians when they're not really that funny
Eg - that xmas special they did once were Le Tissier, merson, Stelling were managing underage sides and they filmed them on the sideline, Stelling might have been the ref infact.

Merson is the worst on it. Purposely mispronouncing player's names to make himself look funny. Little does he realise it just makes him look more idiotic than usual. Sometimes you just have to cringe for them as they crash & burn live on tv.... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo8mP7XHq1E |

| Do Merson and the like actually write their pieces in papers? When you hear some of them talk on the t.v you would wonder do they know to spell their own names. Surely they just tell journalists what they want to say and then the writer writes it for them but in a particular style. |
