Back on Channel 5 at 9pm this coming Saturday. Apparently the Channel have angered the Clubs in the EFL who thought that last seasons presenters George Riley and Lynsey Hipgrave were doing a good job by cancelling their contracts and handing the job to Liverpool fan Colin Murray who presented the programme between 2006 to 2010. Murray has been looking for a new job to compliment what he does for the BBC since Rupert Murdochs News Corp bought the Wireless Group who own the radio station talkSport and as a result Murray resigned on a point of principle because of Murdochs links with the Sun. One thing I hope he does is change the introductory music.
cant wait to watch the players lining up before the match. Their coverage really nailed that last season.
Thats annoying I thought Riley and Hipgrave were fairly decent. Nothing against Murray but he isnt as good as Riley was and definitely not as good looking as Hipgrave. They arent bringing Steve Claridge back as well are they
Thought both presenters where terrible last season. Although can't stand Colin Murray either. Only watch it if we win anyway! Which isn't all that much usually.
Couldn't stand that nob head Riley and his ten bob shirts anyway, so it's a welcome change from me, although Hipgrave was alright, certainly easy on the eye.
Don't understand the stick Colin Murray gets. Very genuine bloke, maybe it's a generational thing but I don't think there's an ounce of ******** in him.
Happy for Colin Murray, good on radio 1, good on match of the day 2, good columnist, good on talksport & a decent, principled bloke
I actually preferred Kelly Dalglish to the bird who replaced her! And they tried to get Steve Claridge back but hes starring as one of The Walking Dead this autumn. And he doesn't even need to get dressed up for that part.
Good. I'm pleased to hear that although I never watch it on a Saturday night. I usually wait until Sunday morning and watch the repeat then. Do you know if Ch5 will still be doing the catch up show on Sundays as before. Great viewing over breakfast.
you will be pleased to know that they are indeed doing it on sunday morning matey.I like you watch it then having a lazy sunday lie in with a bacon roll and a mug of tea....bliss.
