bulivye Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 i think this show is confined to north america, but does anyone watch it? i usually don't but the other night i tuned in briefly for fun, & noticed the presenter who usually sports a L-pool shirt was wearing the B&W stripes of newcastle! i was wondering why? anyone know?

Happy Face Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Newcastle must have made more yardage that week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I don't usually watch it. Sometimes I put it on as background noise while I do something else but not this past week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Joke of a fan really, he just wears whichever shirt he fancies that week. Three weeks ago it was a Man U shirt and then he went right back to Liverpool the next week. edit: joke of a show as well. They had Lalas on and were berating him as to why Beckham wouldn't show up on their two bit show. Completely full of themselves and I can't stand that Chelsea supporter host.

jstinger Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I watch the show every few weeks and regularly listen to World Soccer Daily online while at work. The host in the Nufc jersey was Nick Webster, and I have seen him in several other kits from time to time. I didn't catch the reason why he had on the black and white this week. The show often gives us a hell of a ragging, and Stephen in particular is merciless. As for Liverpool, I think you are remembering the other host Nick Geber from Fox Football Fridays. He is more heavyset and wears a goatee. He is a rabid Liverpool supporter and was always in some sort of Liverpool shirt. I mainly listen and watch because its the only US shows I know of with anything close to relevant comentary on the game. Thats if you can get past the 80% focus on the big four, Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the unending commentary on Beckham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have Fox Sports World but outside the Sky Sports News they run, I rarely tune into the channel, the wife limits my football time to the live games on Setanta involving NUFC because she would kill me if she missed any crap like, Hulk Hogan knows best, Some show about parents of sextuplets and that new lie detector show ! I need to buy a cable box for my TV in my computer room, when I do I'll check it out see what I've been missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulivye Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 well, i don't really ever watch the show, i just happened to see it and the presenter (whom i may have confused w/ a liverpool supporter) was wearing an NUFC shirt. i wondered why, but nobody seems to know...

Mike Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The phone calls are fucking atrocious. Wondered why he has the shirt of too, though. Other guy called the appointment of Keegan the worst hire in..did he say the clubs history? Still, it's all we have here, so we all watch, huh. Sorry, but... fucking yanks! Devil Rays Fan?

Guest Texasmag Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Nick Webster is an Arsenal fan. I watch the show, but I don't know why as I get mad every week. I have DVRed this weeks, so I will watch it and see why he wore our shirt and get back to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Texasmag Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Nothing much to report. Webster didn't say why he was wearing it, but Cohen made a sarcastic comment to him along the lines of that he is trying to show support and interest for other clubs than the top four, but why he had our shirt on was a joke. Webster said nothing, just smirked. BTW Webster doesn't think we will be relegated, he reckons KK will turn it around at the eleventh hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smarty2006 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The shows a big circle jerk to the "Big 4".......other than that not too bad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer9 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Terrible show, callers are awful, and not only do they focus mostly on the Big 4, but when they talk about teams outside of that group, their lack of knowledge is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Texasmag Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I watch it cos theres nothing else to watch which is solely about football. I switch off when they start on about the MLS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufcfan76 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 First off, Iceman should check himself- in 10 years this world will have a lot more top players coming from and to the US to play, not to mention a growing fan base and appreciation for the sport and its culture. You can go to Dubai or Maryland for any FIFA conference you want and any and all will agree with this simple fact. So Iceman, why all the hate? You should be proud that people overseas love and adore NUFC as much as you, I or others do. For the past 13 years I've bled black and white and have had to prove my knowledge or loyalty to no one - but I've been praised by many for such. I've enjoyed the same glories and suffered the same heartbreaks as you. Show some respect FFS. Second, FFPI, the erm, "television show" in question is simply awful. Yes, the hosts are fairly knowledgeable, seem pretty fair in their assessments but, yes it tends to be one giant tugjob for the big 4 while putting up with over-the- top, annoying, unknown ex-pats who seem way above their station- guffawing with handkerchiefs like. I could care less about any other league than the Prem and the MLS coverage is poor. It pales in comparison to Sky Sports News, Premier League Preview/Review or Setanta Sports News, Friday Football Show, The Special One on FSC and Setanta respectively here in the States, both of which, only on DTV, I strongly suggest.

Guest guyb Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I've seen this in the states a couple of time and by god, they are a pair of prize doyles. I agree with nufcfan76 too - once the US gets its act together, they will be the powerhouse of world football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
