John Motson has died.
Quite sad really. The voice of football for many of us growing up.
Just came here to post that. Yes, that is sad. He wasn't that old really.

Well done, BBC. The world is now a safer place...
Bowing down to their political masters
Don’t agree with what Lineker said, people that compare things to Nazi Germany are usually a bit thick no matter where they are on the political spectrum. But the most that should have happened was an eye roll the same eye roll he gets when he retweets Hamas apologists….because he’s a bit of a nitwit when it comes to politics.
He is for me under no obligation to meet BBC impartiality standards as a sports anchor, and this is Richard Sharp being a bell end and is quite rich considering the questions he needs to answer about securing a loan for Boris Johnson (especially as anyone lending money to Boris Johnson with the expectation that they’ll get it back should have their head examined)
He was specifically referring to the language being used as similar to that in 1930s Germany. Whether it is or not, it doesn’t matter because it is his opinion which shouldn’t matter because it isn’t as if he is the presenter of Newsnight.
Anyway, Ian Wright is now off air - his choice, as well.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Why do people say that as if a) I didn’t read what he said and b) it makes any difference whatsoever and c) I already said I agree that he has the right to that stupid opinion without being punished by the Beeb
No the language is not similar and this comes back to my Lineker is being a bit thick. The language against Jews was explicit…they were vermin undeserving of German citizenship. Yes Braverman uses irresponsible language and far right dog whistles but that’s because she’s an idiot vastly over promoted.
I don’t agree with the government policy because it’s just a rehash of policy it’s proposed time and time again, it failed before it will fail again (and it’s intended to fail)
But it’s not the language of Nazi Germany.

Anyway after a short round of negotiations, it’s been agreed that I will be standing in for Gary L tomorrow night
The agreement is I don’t get paid, I front the cost of my own transport but in return I can liberally use the word cunt during the program, and I have the bonus option of referring to one of the pundits as a chinless nonce
