Alex Scott and Micah Richards are front runners for it. now im not being sexist or racist here, but theyre so shite to listen to. whoever gets the job should be on merit but not because of a politically correct stance. Did the previous lot manage to keep their jobs for so long on merit? well yeh because they didn't lose their job over that. they lost it because they didn't wear something for BLM. they were part of a very entertaining show and what made it entertaining was the chemistry between them all. football will always be a game of opinions.

So how would Alex Scott not be getting the job on merit? Assuming she is getting the job, which there’s no suggestion of really outside of people assuming it would be her. For the record, I’ve always thought the show was pure shit but it’s amused me how triggered people have gotten.

I'm not in the UK so don't watch Soccer Saturday, used to when I did still live at home though. But honestly, couldn't care less about them replacing the old guard, and if it's women and people of colour who gives a shit, as long as they are entertaining and know what they're talking about then fair enough. So I don't have a dog in this fight, I just wanted to say, and not having a dig at you Kojak, but this new thing of saying anyone annoyed about anything now is "triggered" is annoying as fuck. Hopefully it dies out pretty damn soon, 'cos I'm well fed up of seeing this everywhere I look. I'm an old fart admittedly but can't people just be angry or annoyed about something today? Do they have to be triggered?

I just think it will go all very safe and serious just to make it absolutely clear to, this has nothing to do with race or sex.

I can get replacing the old guard with players that have not long retired as long as the new faces improve the program but I feel far to many broadcasters are just getting the PC boxes ticked before the woke crowd move onto them(there is 0 chance the replacements will be 3 white male ex footballers even if they where the 3 best candidates) saying that sky itself is starting to look a bit dated with streaming etc. soccer am - good in the 90s and early 00s but well past it’s sell by date. soccer Saturday - does anybody actually still watch this with live streams and live scores. hold the back page - was decent when it was just 4 people in a black room discussing football then sky in its wisdom decided to get that boring twat jimmy hill and set it in a kitchen(renamed Sunday supplement)and it went downhill from there. goals on Sunday - never really liked it as it just goes on for too long.

I haven’t watched Soccer Saturday for years. Absolute trash. 4 stuffy old dinosaurs who really speak no sense about the game.
It’s about time they freshened it up and why anyone would have an issue with them looking at doing it in a more diverse way is beyond me.

It’s free to air and it’s good to have on in the background if doing something. Im not bothered if it’s more diverse but do you honestly believe Alex Scott and Micah Richards are the best that’s out there to fill the void. Alex Scott is the best female pundit I’ll give her that.

Mortimer & Whitehouse gone fishing. Genuinely love this show. I get a serious belly laugh every episode, but its also a little sad. Gets me in the feels. Brilliant show. Bob Mortimer is such a nice bloke. If you can get a chance to watch it, give it a go, even if you don't like fishing.

As is his Phil Jones Netflix show trailer. Yes, that Phil Jones!

The Phil Jones “Nutflix” trailers started there too. Gone Fishing is the best half hour on telly. Don’t know anything about fishing, but the chemistry between the two of them is just superb. Such a genuine warmth there amidst the stupidity of Bob putting Party Rings over his eyes.
