How the hell did Spoony ever get the job as compere? He knows less about football than Gavin Mahon ........
I think Spoony has experience of "celeb footie," which is obviously useful. To be fair, he is only following in the footsteps of Danny Baker and David Mellor, so it's not like he's usurped the golden throne of Egypt.
danny baker was great, always got to the point and wasn't afraid to say what everyone else thought. until he told everyone to go round to some ref's home and stone it. went a little too far then
I'm sure some people will love Baker, but I can't help thinking he's an absolute, gold plated ******.
I used to like AG, but the fact that he is constantly astonished at everything that happens throughout every game is wearing a bit thin. "It's utterly unbeleivable class from Ronaldo," or "I can't beleive that Savage is still on the pitch," or "it's taking an unbeleivable amount of time for Bolton to take this free kick."
I heard a bit of the programme earlier while I was driving and there was the makings of an interesting discussion about abuse from fans but most of those contributing were so inarticulate it didn't seem to go anywhere.
