Had to stop at ~0:20, I think I saw Dean Saunders.

Being signed by Frank - explains a lot!

Used to love that show, not sure how I'd react to it today, but there's probably room in the schedule for an updated version.

There is an updated version on Sky already...

 

[Lupo]

Yeah Sky Max with Matt Lucas, not watched it but meant to be good?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Matt Lucas and Elis James.

I can't quite bring myself to watch it. That was then, this is now.

 

[Tredman]

Same, I like Elis James too.

 

[The Bear]

The new one is godawful.

I loved the old one. Particularly Bob Mortimer's team which he called The Beg Tets.

After the first series, they totally abandoned the fantasy team element.

It was of its time, I'd rather leave it there, like I know 95%+ of Megadrive and SNES games do not stand up if I try playing them now.

Good point, don't have Sky anyhow.

 

[Tredman]

Is Max the one on freeview? Or is that Pick?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wigan haven't paid their wages on time again. Fourth time in the last year. Some talk the owner has gone AWOL.

Joke would work verbally, not in writing though

Kyle Walker in trouble for appearing to expose himself in a Manchester bar. If proven, he needs the book throwing at him.

PC who hit ex-footballer Dalian Atkinson guilty of gross misconduct

A panel finds Mary Ellen Bettley-Smith used excessive force, but rules she can keep her job.

Pig cunt who contributed to the murder of Dalian Atkinson has kept her job after being found guilty of gross misconduct. The chief constable intervened to instruct the hearing to consider a sanction of a final written warning rather than dismissal.

Still the police wonder why trust in them is rock bottom. How can the chief constable of the officers own force area be allowed to influence proceedings.

 

[Alan]

They found the first three strikes “lawful”?
