The two cunts on 'Question of Sport'. Quite how that programme has survived at the BBC when other shows with more merit have been canned I have no clue. Is Sue Barker shagging an exec producer or something?

Matt someone, he's a rugby player and the 'hilarious' Phil 'wifebeater' Tuffnell. Fuck sake, I cannot stand Tuffnell. An absolute muppet-cunt of the very highest order. I am willing to bet he has some very dark days.

One of the highlights of my telly viewing pleasure was Jimmy Fucking Bullard getting voted off first on Celebs In The Jungle. All the cunts at tS assumed he'd win the thing, besotted as they are by any ex-pro. Fuck me, though ... what a loathsome despicable toad.
He was called up to the England squad by Capello and, as a gesture of gratitude, decided to team up with another player to scream "POSTMAN PAT!!" in his face.

I mean, the national team actually chose players like this.

Tommos good value.

Merson is a useless fucking cunt though.

A disingenuous wanker though ... Working for betting companies and banging-on about all his charity work. I hate that kind of two-faced rhetoric.

Is laugh-a-minute Lee Dixon still doing a gig ? He has a personality that could send a brick to sleep.

I’d like to see a system of violent punishments meted out to inarticulate ex-football cunts using the phrase “to be fair”. Watching the Cardiff-Leeds match, it was just used three times in the space of about 15 seconds.

It'd help if you knew their names. It might add a big of substance to your dribbling vitriol.
