Love a shot at her though. like a Kwik save Meghan markle.
Imagine a vaccine so safe you have to blackmailed into taking it, for a virus so deadly you have to be tested to know if you have it.

:D

Wouldn’t be upsetting her though, definitely wouldn’t be wanting to take a kick in the bollocks off her.

3 pages in and no one has yet mentioned Ian Wright. For shame. He's an appalling 'pundit'

Also Paul Merson. He's just a thick fucking wanker.
A joyless arsehole.

The Soccer Saturday crew are a bunch of berks, when I see them now I can't get past the fucking betting adverts of them shouting BOOST! with that Icelandic thunderclap shite.

Punditry from the 1980's, even Stelling has become tiresome in recent months.

I’ve softened to Wrighty over the years since he’s behaved less of a clown and can actually articulate himself better. There’s far worse out there.

Steve, one thing that’s stuck in my head about him, other than his fixation on his “collection” on TS’s Drivetime was comments that the widow of Cliff Bastin made on Wrighty beating his all time Arsenal goal scoring record and they were very unflattering about him. Do you remember that? Tried googling that weeks ago but couldn’t find any reference.

Victoria Pendleton - BBC thought she was going to be the big thing of London 2012 and were going to piggy back off that by giving her a glittering media career but they killed it stone dead beforehand when their big "road to 2012" documentary on her showed her up to be a nasty little cow with the personality of a week old potato.

They quickly parachuted her into Strictly but she came across as a horrible person.

Last seen dumping her husband to go over the jumps with that well known retired jockey.

Shane Warne- Warnie loves to call everyone by their nickname. Phenomenal cricketer but a dreadful commentator and doesn't come across as a nice bloke.
