Honestly, I'll be surprised if this decision isn't the beginning of the end.

Yep, the show is all about the banter, mates watching some footie games rather than in depth analysis. Shoe horning anyone in there just because will not work, could be the beginning of the end
Think it was a poor decision to get rid of Thommo as his rapport with Jeff Stelling is superb. I wonder if Stelling himself may consider his own future with the changes as the dynamic won't be the same and I am sure he'll have no trouble finding alternative employment

Yeah I agree. Leaving Merse on his own doesn't make a huge amount of sense, because if they get a younger brigade in alongside him you'll just get a divide. Unless they choose the new panellists very carefully.

Very true, this show is all about the banter. If they wanted to try and give the show some new impetus, rather than change the pundits they should have got them drunk before going on air, that would have made interesting viewing. Though maybe not the best idea for Merson

Come on, how many genuinely care about Soccer Saturday etc, most of us are either playing Golf or playing Football or busy doing something else on a saturday afternoon and probably catch no more than a few minutes here and there.

Saturday AFternoons are my downtime, wife out, kids doing whatever and I get to sit on the sofa in the warm and watch tv. Saturday AM and Sundays are m y playign times, not Sat PM.

So you’re one, I did ask how many.
I enjoy the bits I watch, but I switch it on for the scores, not the presenters.
I think the presenters make it. If you think otherwise then watch the BBC version, it's awful. The banter and chemistry of the sky one is spot on, it adds to the basic premise of the show.So you’re one, I did ask how many.

I like the three who are going but so far sky have a good record of bringing in decent people. They tend to be brought through gradually, trained so to speak in midweek games before graduating to Saturday's. I'd be surprised if their replacements are completely new, it is not easy to just slot in to the role.

Mate, have you ever seen watched any scores from Everton’s games and thought, “I wish X had said that instead of Y”
Like I said, I enjoy the bits I watch, I just don’t get the fuss over it, people are always looking for conspiracies or ulterior motives etc, maybe those who are being binned only appeal to a certain audience and Sky want to refresh the show.
It’s a long time since those binned actually played at the top level and a younger audience might wonder who they are.
Also, if you want truly awful, try BT Sport’s effort.

Me. If I’m not watching footy live. Even my two youngsters watch it!

Will you still watch it next season when you can?
I saw a bit of BT stuff with the recent CL games ??. Terrible.Mate, have you ever seen watched any scores from Everton’s games and thought, “I wish X had said that instead of Y”

I've no problem with a refresh, it's part of broadcasting. Thomson and Nicklaus were about done, they are probably the most detached from the current era.
The undercurrent of the outcry is disappointing, and disturbing. Not nice to see.

Yes. I’ve watched it since the year dot. I probably watched it more in the Championship as more likely to play on Sat at 3pm ?

That’s great business for Leicester. He is frustrating to watch. Gets into great positions on the left, but almost always lacks the conviction to make a yard and get a cross in and turns back inside. Makes life easy for the defending right back. I suspect that the Chelsea fans won’t be so forgiving.
