    There's only 12 teams in the Women's Super League and she used to play in the States, where there's only 6 or 7 teams in the league.

    Whatever mate, no ones bothered when a talentless white bloke gets a job. If its a woman or a black guy people start losing their minds.

    Chapman is by some distance the best sports presenter the BBC has.

    Holds his own comfortably with the ex pros in football, rl and NFL- not satisfied with pat answers either.

    I assume BBC have written off Football Focus, as Dan 'pictures of cute dogs' Walker has been replaced by Scott.

    Focus is a lost cause
    MOTD is smug and chummy, Lineker ought to do a Hansen and accept it's time to move on
    MOTD 2- see above comments on Chapman, it's the only football prog except The Big Match Revisited worth watching
    MOTDx- a programme for ****s about ****s

    Completely agree about Chapman. Class act across football and NFL

    NFL !! Chess on steroids with no time clock. (or too many time clocks). An abortion of a "sport". A "Show us your tits" parody.

    There’s a big difference being a sports pundit and a sports presenter, I don’t think she will do anywhere near a good a job as say Gabby Yorath would, who is really good on Match of the Day,

    the number of times on 5 live you get sucked in to news of a man city goal away at chelsea or other only after a minute or so realise its not the real thing.

    im intrigued as to what attendances the womens football has been getting this season to see if it is indeed worthy of broadcasting to millions.

    Care to provide some linkage? I find that hard to believe, but am too lazy to research it. Far more?

    Maybe its the lack of opportunity to find alternative entertainment for some people who wouldn't have been bothered about football on a normal saturday. It will be more interesting to see if there has been a continued increase in viewing when fans return to the stadium or if it drops back to "normal".

    While I agree your point, your maths is way out. He "only" played 1262 matches in total (excluding International) so he would have had a mere 883 caps.

    Yes, because so few of the ones that get employed have any talent. Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas are as thick as pigshit.

    True. A bit remiss of me dividing his total appearances including internationals. Makes Alex Scott's seem a lot more reasonable.<laugh>

    Quite a few very sick human beings on this forum it appears. I'm probably being generous using the term "human beings".
