Perfect example of that is the new 'Saturday Social' on Sky Sports which took the spot that Soccer AM once occupied, it's just a load of 'influencers' with no credentials other than having a large social media following waffling pure shite - It feels like what out of touch, old middle age TV execs think football supporters want to seeBaller League: KSI, Gary Lineker, Luis Figo & John Terry among names involved in new football league
Social media has been abuzz with talk of a new football league over the past 24 hours. What is Baller League? And why is there so much intrigue?www.bbc.co.uk
I really dislike the next generate who idolise gimps such as Chunkz and that "Speed" who just chat nonsense. Will try to make it like WWE like they have with boxing.
Stick to the masters football.

Soccer AM was way past it's peak and had it's day and the most recent hosts were never as good as Chamberlain and Lovejoy but as a show it was miles clear of the utter dross that Sky are churning out these days
Can’t believe the likes of Lineker, Shearer, Figo, Pires etc would degrade themselves to the same level as “AngryGinge”. Embarrassing.
I do not get this "YouTuber Ticky Tocky" craze, especially when it comes to football/gaming content.The “influencers” attached to this project do churn out massive numbers in terms of their viewership so I can see it gaining some initial traction with younger audiences. Whether it can keep them remains to be seen.
Fed up of seeing that fucking Chunkz character, mind you
I live in Tamworth and people have genuinely visited from all over the country just to see potato wagonI had a mate ask if I wanted to go and watch a "youtuber" thing at the Oval in Bedworth. I was nearly sick in my mouth and told him to sort his life out... To be fair he also queued up for a potato in Tamworth and posed for a picture outside Binley Mega chippy. Would never let him babysit put it that way.
There was a happy medium between Soccer AM in it's final guise and what is on now thoSaturday Social is embarrassing; it's literally gimps who glory support teams and probably never really went to games until they got freebies.
Yeah Soccer AM was being dragged out with Bullard on there and I don't think they could get away with the humour that made it funny back in the day.

All of them just seem like loudmouth yobs with shit patter, but presume it is me that just isn't "getting it".
People behind it making a mint from the "celebrity" boxing thing. It's not for sports purists it's about celebrity.
Ok so it’s a 5 a side competition, which could be really good to be fair as should attract quality players, but they’ve ruined by involving absolute cretins who will make it unwatchable?Baller League: KSI, Gary Lineker, Luis Figo & John Terry among names involved in new football league

Those youtubers have a huge audience. They've sold out Wembley for a charity game next year (90k tickets in 3 hours), sold out West Ham's ground (65k) for a game last year. The live Youtube audience for that charity game was over 2.5 million live. Dwarfs any Sky etc viewing figures.They aren't really celebrities.

It's on similar lines to the German Baller league and the Spanish King's league which are pulling in some big viewer numbers. They're also run by a combination of football people and online creators.
Different worldI hate every other word in this post.
Biggest problem in all of this is the term "Baller"
I missed the 'Glory Years' of Soccer AM, Andy Goldstein from TalkSport hosted it the first time I watched it and he was swiftly replaced by Max Rushden (also on TalkSport these days)The best football progs/ radio shows ever have been:
1. Football Italia (James Richardson GOAT presenter)
2. Danny Baker phone-ins (606 was great under him, unlistenable ever since)
3. Soccer AM (circa 1999/2002) - the background to many a comedown
Yes I am 48, and have no interest in the modern world.
Because of his incompetent defending?Dasilva would destroy this league!
Imagine the limbs when a team scores.Biggest problem in all of this is the term "Baller"

Yep, agree. Think football shows work best when they don’t take it too seriously. Really can’t be arsed with and hour and half of dissecting tactics.Fantasy Football League was decent too.
Yeah, it was good. But Lovejoy quickly disappeared up his own arse.I missed the 'Glory Years' of Soccer AM, Andy Goldstein from TalkSport hosted it the first time I watched it and he was swiftly replaced by Max Rushden (also on TalkSport these days)
Having seen clips from when Lovejoy hosted it, it wouldn't have lasted a full show in this day and age
The sale of selfie sticks to film it would be through the roof.
