[@johncoppinger3208]

Great point 👏👏 the fact he was a fanatical fan of a team just relegated from the football league puts him with the real football fans who regularly go through the trials and tribulations of loving their club no matter what . That gave him a great perspective.

I got goosebumps right at the end when Jeff said good bye, I’ve seen him on Sky Sports since I was 13 years old, I’m 43 in a few weeks. Saturday football season afternoons will never be the same, Jeff is indeed the GOAT and I will compare the filling of his role to when Fergie left United, Massive shoes to fill. Thank you for all the laughs you’ve given everyone over the years.... Us viewers, the guys on the panel and I’m sure all the staff in the Sky Sports studio, enjoy your retirement Jeff. PS is was great to see some of the old boys in the tribute reel.

@@TheWoodIsPoo Ah mate, you’ve took me quite literally there haven’t you ! I have indeed seen a lot of Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday over the years but it’s been more of a thing on in the background while I work or I’m doing something in the house, and I’ve never sat down and watched it from start to finish. I do ofcourse follow my hometown club and get to a game whenever I can but it’s a lot harder nowadays as I live abroad. I occasionally get to watch a Malaga CF game but my lack of Spanish mates stops me getting there as often as I’d like and my English expat mates would rather just get pissed in the sun on a weekend. I do however have lots of mates who are of different nationalities as well as British, and the mrs and I have lots of ‘couples mates’ - not to mention all our mates from the UK who come to visit. Its all very social living where there’s lots of expats. You’re right though pal, Jeff isn’t my mate, but he’s a good presenter and a funny guy who’s provided great entertainment to many over the years. Thanks for your friendly advice though fella, and roll on next season Ps apology accepted 👍

Think you hit the nail on the head there, probably gone stale about 5 to 10 year ago. At its peak it was fun to watch, should have started to replace Thommo, Nicholas, Le Tissier and Merson slowly fading them out and replacing them with 2/3 maybe even 4 potential new panelists on rotation.
