Re: will Sammy Newman punch on next week?
I didn't laugh once during that episode tonight. I don't know if it will happen. What if the old bloke gets injured? Could he sue nine? Surely they wouldn't risk it unless there is a way they can put all the responsibility on him.

Re: will Sammy Newman punch on next week?
The Footy Show would be alot better without Sams' Mailbag and Street Talk. It has been done to death, was mildly amusing the first couple of years, but they really need to do something different.
In fact The Footy Show would be alot better without Sam Newman. Should of cleared him off when Edie left and thought of other stuff to do.
To answer your question.......Who cares? But they will probably bring the guy in next week and do some silly skit.

I watch it religiously. Sure it may not be hard-hitting stuff but I still find it entartaining. Also, I'd rather find out the ins and outs by watching that, than staring at a computer screen for hours, waiting for them to come on. Good light-hearted stuff I think.
That blatant plug for James Hird's shop was embarrassing for all concerned.
I know, That twit has turned me completely off the footy show. Also is it just me or do they seem to rush through the teams, or anything to do with footy for that matter.Hutchy is a muppet, reports a boring story then gives a stupid looking smile as if he's achieved something - twat.

I caught it last night for the first time in a while.
The show has no flow. They all seem be introverts waiting for each other to speak. The hosts line seems to be: "Sam, what do you think", or "Trevor...", or "Billy...". (As in, "I cant think of anything to say, and no one else is saying anything, so I'll handball to someone else" ) The show takes 10 minutes to introduce everybody....as if we dont know who they are.
Compare that to shows that flow effortlessly like "Spicks and Specs" or even the NRL footy show, and its easy to see why how far the AFL one is off the mark.
It survives because Victoria is obsessed with AFL, rather than the footy show's own merits. Be interesting if Ch 7 ever get a rival show going.
Garry Lyon's media career must be on its last legs.

TFS has lost the plot. Haven't watched it for years.
PHX
Quarterback Style
Used to watch it without fail and would be shattered to miss it but now its 500% better to switch on Channel 7 and watch The Amazing Race and Family Guy.
Family Guy is on at the same time? Crap I never knew. Sorry TFS your now my number two.
It's a very funny show.
Only wannabe feminist idiots think otherwise.
also, it's quite amusing to hear people giving comment on a show they 'haven't watched for a long time'.
It's gone back to more of a variety show (less emphasis on football) and it's been very funny so far this year. The better the panelists the better the show as well.

It's not meant to have 'flow'. Such is something it's never had.
There we go.
Haven't watched if for years yet passing criticial analysis on it.
Beat me to it, Nippy.
For a show that has run it's course it still seems to get plenty of comment week after week........... after week........ after week........after week

Ahhh the funniest bit of this thread are the mofos "who haven't watched it in years" but know what is going on with the show or happened "to tune in for 5 mins last night"
Its like TT..nobody watches the show but a lot of people happened to be "flicking through the channels" while it was on.
Idiots.

Sorry but how could you even compare spick's and specks with The NRL Footy show, A show where they consider karaoke with themselves as the entertainers(I use that term loosely) as quality tv, where they go on funpark rides to see who vomits first as quality tv, where they eat chilli's to see who gets the reddest face as quality tv You have got to be joking,
I do realise the AFL Footy show is following the same path , but thank christ they have not gone as far down the road as that rugby league version. I mean Matthew Johns as the resident comedian compared to Trevor Marmalade what a joke, Paul Harragon who i used to respect as a footballer now just puts a stupid smile on his face and uses his line "THATS GOLD"
And the worst thing is I am in darwin where they play the NRL Footy show at 9.30 and the AFL version at all hours
You can really see the boganism(i just made that word up) of NRL supporters by the show the channel 9 and the NRL puts on for them.
Once again comparing the Spicks and the specks and the NRL footy show you have to be joking!!!!

I haven't watched it for years. I tried again 3 weeks ago to see who the in and out were for the Pies and there was just a hour or two of Sam Newman drunk making unfunny statements, and no input from the footballers.
James Brayshaw posing as a bloke, Gary Lyon feeling ashamed of himself, Trevor Marmalade exhaling unfunny air, and Sam's corpse twitching like he's crawling with maggots. Who honestly watches this crap?
Lame, tired and sad.
