The Wetherspoons pub in Gosport that refused entry to people wearing poppies, gets a makeover by patriots 🇬🇧

He looks proper pissed off & doesn't want to be there lol.

I admitted last week that I’ve stopped enjoying Match of the Day. And this week’s programme illustrated exactly why.

Just look at the way Mark Chapman opens the show. Flat. Lifeless. Almost uninterested.

Football is about passion, enthusiasm, banter, anger, love, joy and despair. Yet the BBC has somehow managed to package its highlights into a programme almost entirely devoid of emotion.

Chappers, as he’s affectionately known, comes across well on the radio. But on Match of the Day, he looks bored rigid. Like the last person on earth you’d want to sit down with for a conversation about football.

To be fair, Steph Houghton and Martin Keown did a reasonable job. But as somebody pointed out in response to my previous post, where’s the humour? Where’s the fun? Where’s the sheer joy of football?

Everything is so painfully serious. The pundits deliver their analysis within such tight parameters that the whole thing feels sterile.

Bill Shankly famously said football wasn’t a matter of life and death. It was more important than that.

But the real point is that people love football because it makes them feel alive.

Watching Match of the Day these days is like observing a post-mortem conducted by a forensic pathologist who regretted his career choice years ago and is now just counting down the days until he can collect his pension.

Surely, in the post-Lineker era, there must be a better way of presenting football highlights? Give us people who love the game. People who can laugh, joke, argue and get carried away. Give us proper analysis, certainly, but make it feel like the conversations we have with our mates down the pub.

And for those chauvinistic throwbacks who complained about women presenting men’s football, let me say this: of Match of the Day’s three presenters, Chapman is comfortably the worst. Give me Kelly Cates or Gabby Logan any day of the week.

Someone needs to have a word in Chappers’ ear. Tell him to bring some of his radio personality to the television studio.

Because his dry, bored, dead-eyed delivery is sucking the life out of a programme devoted to a sport that should be anything but lifeless.

Football is supposed to be fun. For God’s sake, can somebody tell Match of the Day?

@AnfieldPapers Liverpool knew he had a shit injury record & so did the Newcastle fans, but the club still went out & paid a mind boggling £125m for him & along with Wirtz being an absolute lightweight & struggling with the PL seems like it's £240m pissed up against the wall on these 2.

@LFC We're getting dicked

[Rich @RCAV76]

@Corballyred He was just as bad John when he played for Newcastle & for Liverpool to go & splash out £125m on him with his shit injury record was madness!

[Rich @RCAV76]

@AnythingLFC_ What a surprise Isak is out injured again

[Rich @RCAV76]

@britmatters What is that security guards job exactly?

[Rich @RCAV76]

@AnythingLFC_ @Ekremkonur Will go down as one of the worst signings for Liverpool. I'll take him to Barca myself if true 🤞

[Rich @RCAV76]

@LFCTransferRoom @ptgorst The kid is injury prone so unfortunately that RB position will never be his.

@FabrizioRomano 🤷

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Six years ago today, Diogo Jota became a Red.

Today, as every day, all of us at Liverpool FC are thinking of him, his brother Andre and his family and friends.

Forever our number 20 ❤️

@Corballyred Give Macca that new contract

[Rich @RCAV76]

@NRJ3zrz I'm in love 😘

[Rich @RCAV76]

@_yxan14 They know the rules, yet they lost focus how the hell do you come up with that assumption?

[Rich @RCAV76]

@_yxan14 FFS Get that coffin Dodger Dermot back in the old people's home he hasn't got a bloody clue!

[Rich @RCAV76]

@centrekop This guy is with out doubt one of the worst refs in the PL.

[Rich @RCAV76]

Go on Jay 💪

Jay Bothroyd calling out Howard Webb on live TV was cinema. GOATed behaviour.
