Simply brilliant. I was once dragged onto Soccer AM by some mates. We were 'fans of the week', and apparently we were only going on to wind Lovejoy up. In the bar after the show, one of our group approached Lovejoy and asked him at what point he had switched allegiance from Watford (who he apparently used to support) to Chelsea. His reply, and I quote, was delightful: "Shut the f**k up, you c**t." As arrogant and self-delusional a man as I've ever met in my life. - Lemmiwinks Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:11:52 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_1326 An astonishingly good review! At Mudhuts Media in Wigan we have been demonizing that man and that programme for as long as I can remember. The loathesome and insulting way that he used to seriously think he could play for any 4th division club (sorry, old fashoined me!) just about summed up his horrible attitude. "Save Chip", "Bouncebackability", "Easy, Easy" Sad, sad warnings about how easily modern football fans are duped and follow the "Monkey see, monkey do" way. We recently started a thread on the worst football books ever written, however, the book needs to have been read to be included, so even though Lovejoys book probably deserves the top spot I don't think any of us are brave enough to do the deed! - Les Bagg Mon, 28 Dec 2009 21:42:36 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_1319 I used to do a lot of things I now regret when I was an ignorant teenager. Complain to my parents about "life not being fair", join in with that despicable chant aimed at Wenger and also watching and enjoying Soccer AM. I still occasionally complain to my parents, but mercifully the latter two are things of the past. Lovejoy and Soccer AM probably set back my knowledge of football by about 3 years - a bit like falling in with the wrong crowd at school - it takes a while, but you realise in the end that you've been a bit of an idiot. - uninformedandunbalanced Thu, 24 Dec 2009 23:05:46 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_1297 The sad things is it's wankers just like Lovejoy who work for TV companies commissioning new shows. No wonder shallow twats like him are on every channel these days, they're moulded in their maker's image. - madmickyf Fri, 18 Dec 2009 03:48:44 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_1236 I could never get along with SoccerAM, it was too polished and trying to be this "down with fans" programme. It was Skinner and Baddiel that came from proper footy fans, and i so want to start a campaign to get "fantasy Footy with Baddeil and Skinner" started up again. Lovejoy was the right sort of cock to front such a crap piece of TV. The sky generation doesent speak for proper footy fans - Mulder Fri, 04 Dec 2009 20:26:41 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_1162 He's too busy doing one of those property programmes on BBC1. - George at asda Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:35:27 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_1158 bring back Standing Room Only - with that fella off Brookside, I think he played Damon - stuart77 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:40:57 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_923 "Hopelessly banal and nauseatingly self-assured, smirkingly unfunny, it’s a £300 T-shirt, a piss-you-off ringtone, a YouTube clip of someone drinking their mate’s vomit. Its smugness is a corollary of its vacuity. I hope it makes you sick." Brilliant. - Terry Savage Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:51:55 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_811 I realise now that it was seeing the football, not the presenters, that made me enjoy Soccer AM. - El Nacnud Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:08:57 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_532 Sadly, he has been removed from 6-0-6. What a loss to football he will be. - Liffrok Tue, 12 May 2009 17:23:33 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_347 Possibly the best review I've read since Shark Sandwich ... brilliant. The man's an arse ... the personification of a WKD advert - vacuous, unfunny, trite, unoriginal and offensively representative of lowest common denominator 'lad culture'. I get the impression that he's the kind of 'New Blokey Man' (tm) that you'd only need to be in the company of for a bare four pints before he'd start driviling on about being at the birth of his child with a whistful look in his eye. A tw*t ... synonym, a Chelsea supporter post 2001. An embarrassment to the beautiful game of Finney and Shankley. My grandad would've hit him in his L'orel man experted f*cking face. And his cooking programme's sh*te aswell. Tart. - HectorCuper Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:49:13 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_249 Man, this Lovejoy is a plank! What a superb article, makes so much sense if you've seen this dude on telly. Influence football? Don't make me laugh!! I'd "love" to see him in another celebs match, and this time have a certain Vinny Jones clattering into him full on. It would give me so much "joy". All he ever said that he thought was remotely funny was "dirty Leeds"...and this from a bloke who doesn't have the faintest understanding of the English game, its history or any feel for what football is about. Another plastic glory hunter!! Oh please, no one buy this book. It deserves to be the biggest lemon in history. - SpunkBubble Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:34:08 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_214 Lovejoy is the biggest arse licker i have had the misfortune to watch, did anyone see that allstars programme he did? Or david beckhams soccer USA? If he was made of chocolate he would eat himself! - dtruck83 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 18:12:05 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_127 I used to like Lovejoy when I was about 15 and Soccer AM was still fresh but yeah he is a rather vile, pseudo trendy character. - benfawkes Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:22:17 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_22 Does he really mis-spell the name of his "mate", Austin Healey? - Etienne Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:56:18 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_20 Soccer AM ran out of ideas about five years ago, and should have been put out of its misery. As for Lovejoy, 606 is the best place for him. After all, the alternative is that he presents something that might otherwise be listenable, or that someone with half a brain occasionally tempts you to tune into 606. Like Victoria Derbyshire doing the morning phone-in on 5 Live, this kills two birds with one stone. So to speak. - Zorg the Leveller Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:07:51 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_16 Four or five years ago i would have been a big defender of Lovejoy and Soccer AM, but since Sky has cottoned on to what a minor success this show has been it's slowly but surely been commercialised and has taken away from the show. As for Lovejoy, i think the author here is spot on, and his bitchy little comment towards Gail Porter after she made a Beckham joke was not particularly becoming of the man. - Psycho Charlie NobCheese Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:35:18 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/145/29/#pc_15 Why would anyone seriously want to hear what this guy has to say? - Jonas77 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 19:21:47 +0100
