Park Life 71 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I absolutely loved Fantasy Football, but I wonder whether it was the Pandaro's Box for laddish rubbish like Cordon and Lovejoy. It's a fine line many producers can't distinguish. Baddiel and Skinner and Danny Baker and Danny Kelly know an absolute shitload about the game and they use their knoweldge and shape their comedy around it. Corden and Richard Bacon know fuck all and are brought in to do inane shows for people who only like football once every 4 years....they frame their references for people with that level of knowledge. Nicely summed up. Richard Bacon once admitted he'd never played a game of football in his life. Not even a kickabout down the park. A bit like HTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like HTT Thinking about it a bit more, I think the best football shows are just about what the creators loved about it when they were younger. Fantasy football was largley based around old football....phoenix from the flames, St and Greavsie investigate, Jeff Astle etc. The theme tune based on the 1970 world cup song. Their own world cup song based on the last 30 years of England failures. You wouldn't guess a ball had been kicked prior to 1992 if you watched Soccer AM and i can't imagine many people involved in the show would know if one had.

DanTheMan 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Could you imagine any modern footballers doing the 'Jeff Astle sings' feature or being made a tit out of in Pheonix in the Flames? They wouldn't be having it I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whole I think Soccer AM at least used to be tolerable and/or funny but I remember one thing summing it up when they referred to "League 1" being the "second division in old money" - no you should have said the third you stupid twats.

Soccer AM is unfunny but that James Corden show was on a different level, he's just an unfunny, fat, sycophantic twat with absolutely no redeeming features. I genuinely can't fathom his popularity. I flicked on once to see he had Chris Moyles on as a guest. I took it as a sign that the apocalypse was imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Never saw the footy show but we get a dire sketch show with Corden and some other bloke in NZ. From the 15 minutes I watched it was terrible, like two sidekicks and no funny man. I suspect we get shows like this on the cheap here because they've gone down with all hands on deck in the UK. The article in the OP is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It was a while before I realised who Corden was, and was baffled at how this fat, obnoxious unfunny cunt was appearing on panel shows everywhere. I assumed someone from the crowd hand wandered up unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 7084 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Agreed, unfunny wanker got lucky. He should be removed and isolated from tv. Corden Off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
