BFTD Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 34 minutes ago, Miguel Sanchez said: Relevant: Danny Dyer's "feud" with Kermode was fucking hilarious. Hopefully it gets revisited if he's ever allowed to have a screen role again. It's hard to imagine William Friedkin's biggest fan ever being involved in a scuffle, yet there's no way that he'd come off worst in that slapfight! 29 minutes ago, throbber said: I remember watching that film and Gillian Anderson sodomises a guy with a machine gun. If you liked that, you'd love the remake of I Spit on your Grave. The IMDb probably has a tag for "firearm sodomy" or similar. Perhaps this is a genre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same I didn't have Sky and felt quite out of the loop at school when you heard your pals making jokes about Soccer AM. I didn't really get so many folk fancying Helen back in the day either. Some of the breakthrough indie bands they had on the goals reels were good though and my pals band managed to get on it one week thinking that would be their breakthrough but alas no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Typical wokeflakes. Soccer AM could still be absolutely top-notch on it's day and propped up traditional working class values; something sadly lacking these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember a(n extremely unladdish) mate of mine going on about Lee Trundle because he was a recurring joke on the programme.

The actor was Brian Regan who had a downward trajectory into drugs and crime. Did the judge tell him to “calm down, calm down”? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me. Lee Trundle was one of those cult hero type players, although he did have a great record at Swansea when they were in the lower leagues. He's also a player I've always thought should've signed for a Scottish team at some point, could definitely see him turning out for Hamilton or someone like that. His Wiki record page is elite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen and I had enormous Mr Tickle-like arms made out of papier-mache and chicken wire that cut your hands as you waved them about pretending part three was in all-new 3D TV. There were jokes that didn’t make it. The week that Richard Keys and Andy Gray went we were expressly told not to mention it. I suggested a lifesize stuffed elephant in the studio that we didn’t mention for the whole show. It didn’t get through." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s as bad as it sounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was because of watching Soccer AM that I discovered the magnificent Wolf Alice when they were unknowns and had just released their debut single. Soccer AM played it as the music over a lower league goals highlight reel, and my ears instantly p***ked up. Thought ‘who on earth are that band, they sound great’… Saw them first at King Tuts in front of a hundred folk. I genuinely had a feeling they were going to be big. Fantastic band… So for that alone, thank you Soccer AM. Edit to add… cannae’ say your ears p***ked up on hearing something. Oh well.

8MileBU Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 They shouldn’t cancelled it 10 years ago. It was a long slow painful death but was never the same after Lovejoy left. Very much a product of its time tying in well with the Brit-pop and Lad-culture eras from the mid 90s to early ‘00s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
