It's been a while.. on 14:12 - Jul 7 with 667 views | Steve_M | I saw the WSC link before I clicked on the post, it had to be that one. It remains highly amusing, indeed might even be the only reason anyone remembers Tim Lovejoy in another decade. On the same subject, Richard Evans' review of our current Prime Minister's pitiful Churchill biography is always worth a read: https://www.newstatesman.com/books/2014/11/one-man-who-made-history-another-who- | |

I mean, re-reading that who could ever have known how lamentably sh1t Johnson would be as Prime Minister. | |

It's been a while.. on 14:33 - Jul 7 with 631 views | clive_baker | Amusingly written, but I've never quite understood why Tim Lovejoy offends people so much. Soccer AM, in hindsight, was pretty average viewing, but it was what it was and at the time I'll admit I used to enjoy watching it nice and early on a Saturday morning as a teenager before playing football. The beauty of having multiple channels on TV is that you can watch any one of the 100's of others if you don't like it. There's so much crap on TV and average, arrogant presenters that I've never quite understood why Soccer AM & Loveloy particularly comes in for so much disdain. Feels a little odd to have such an unhealthy obsession with the bloke that you would buy and read his book, with the sole predetermined purpose of talking it and him down. | |

Do you not understand how book reviews for publications work? | |

I guess it was the way Soccer AM became pretty stale pretty quick and seemed to position itself as the voice of football fans etc. while maybe not being the most evolved of viewing with the "lads lads lads" kind of stuff. That and Lovejoy does seem to have been full on Partridge at his the height of his powers. It all just sort of passed me by i have to admit. I never really got it or into it so don't really loathe him and the show either. | |
