My Favourite TV Program




My favourite tv show is Soccer Am


Soccer AM is a British Saturday-morning football show presented by Helen Chamberlain and Max Rushden. It has been broadcast on Sky Sports 1 each Saturday morning of the football season since 1995 between 0900 and 1200 and recently broadcast its 500th episode. It is also simulcast on Sky1, since the spring of 2007. It is also shown on Sky's Sky Anytime service in a cut down version of around 50 minutes. This is available to view from the Monday after the show broadcasts until Saturday.

The success of Soccer AM has come from an eclectic mix of football, comedy and entertainment every week, and has seen its influence spread well beyond the world of football. Parts of the show have remained since the beginning, whilst new items have been introduced each season. In that respect, it is almost the same every week, the difference being new football footage and comedy skits. Every week sees a new group of celebrity guests, generally featuring at least one footballer who is free on the Saturday, and a mix of musicians, TV personalities and other sportsmen. The show is well known for promoting stereotypes of various ethnic groups and nationalities, and often includes skits of 'typical' Northern Englishmen, Americans, Scotsmen and White Frenchmen.

R.I.P Jimmy Sirrel

                                                                           

Sir Alex Ferguson led the tributes to former Notts County manager Jimmy Sirrel following his death on Thursday at the age of 86.

The Manchester United boss, a good friend of Sirrel, said: ‘All I can say is that I’d be confident in Jimmy Sirrel managing a team I supported.

‘People like Jimmy have had to work with either no money or little money and if you look at his career, you’ll see he’s done fantastically well.’

Glasgow-born Sirrel played for Celtic, Bradford, Aldershot and Brighton before taking charge of the Football League’s oldest club in 1969, leading them to the top flight in his second spell as boss in 1981.
