Channel 5 to show FL highlights next season; Saturday nights at 9pm

[Cowfold Seagull]

I like Adam Virgo, but such a shame he ever got involved with this shit.

All I want from any football highlights show is just that, 'football highlights', not loads of opinions from irritating individuals, most of which I disagree with anyway.

And what are those young kids and old dears doing there standing behind the presenters?, what relevance do they have to the programme? I doubt they are even real football fans.

But we're not. Wolves and Hull also have a 100% records.

We are now.

Who needs it? Sky highlights up now, no patronising commentary, no bullshit analysis.

The timings of the Saturday night show and of the Sunday morning repeat are decent. Tho it's the same old grainy 30 seconds of the Albion showing only the goals at the very tail end of the Champiionship segment. Hardly worth bothering about really.

And might be a trick of the light, but IMHO Adam Virgo is increasingly morphing into David Walliams

Have to agree with that, looked like they had just been walking past the studio and been offered £50 to stand there for an hour. Perfect politically correct crowd as well, a gender balanced multicultural family, just like you see at every football match I'd have thought !!! That Indian lady looked very confused !!

Showing the programme's impeccable equality and diversity qualifications - you missed the two token Asians, the two token Chinese, token young female, etc, all sharing that incredible blank look of total indifference. Ditch the audience; replace with manikins or garden gnomes (which will contribute just as much or as little to the programme as real humans, but possibly marginally more animated) if you can't bear to have just a wall and a logo in the background.

Anyone else noticed that attractive blonde female 'audience member' being strategically placed behind every interviewee, including our Adam? #desperate and archaic strategy to keep male viewers watching.

It seems Channel 5 have made a conscious effort to make the programme very different to the BBC's show and try to jazz it up with needless gimmicks which just take up time. That's a pity really because the only major thing that was wrong with the BBC programme was it was on so late, but that could always be remedied by watching the repeat on Sunday morning. OK, it had 2 things wrong as it also had Steve Claridge, but it did the simple things right like concentrating on the highlights and running the action in something like a logical order. Channel 5's show seems to be aimed at the hyperactive teenager market.
