I used to quite like it when Sky had it as a red button option during games. Think I only bothered when it was a match I wasn't too arsed about, though, ie not Villa.

How much did it pay and what happened if you swore? This is Davina and you're live on Channel 4. For the love of God, don't curse.

I think I did it for the Villa Blues 5-1 when the largish Villa lad whipped off his top and shouted "look at me tan".

[eamonn]

Yeah, he was quality, especially the one he did with the Everton fella with the squashed-face when we threw it away at Goodison before winning it again. "Oi've just doigested me poi!"

Jermaine Jenas, who presents The One Show and appears on Match of the Day for the BBC, has been sacked by the corporation following complaints about workplace conduct.
The former footballer, 41, has been taken off air from both primetime shows.
A BBC spokesperson said: "We can confirm Jermaine Jenas is no longer part of our presenting line-up

[Footy-Vill]

It’s actually not right he’s on air on talk sport as he has been inappropriate by BBC it’s very odd going by any broadcaster the to allow him to present as he’s live on Talk Sport

There is always a little pathetic part of me that is a little gleeful when someone you find a bit off is proven to be so. I wonder what he's done. Now can we check Alan Titchmarsh's basement please?

The news literally broke 5 mins before they started on Talk Sport, so I would imagine they will deal with it after the show. Considering some of the things that some presenters have done down the years I doubt talk sport are massively concerned, expecially if it means more people are listening to rubber neck.

Ive met jenas a few times seemed like a lovely fella

Must be pretty serious for the BBC to instigate instant dismissal. Must constitute Gross Misconduct you'd think ?

I'd be amazed if he were a BBC employee. He'll be a presenter for hire, gig-by-gig.

So he won't have been dismissed, they'll just have decided to stop calling his agent if they need a pundit or someone to sit in a cardigan and talk to Gyles Brandreth.

[eamonn]

According to the BBC news report, he's contracted for his MOTD/football-related work with the Beeb, in the salary band £190k - £195k.

His work for The One Show is through BBC's commercial production arm and the salary is not in the public domain.

Apparently he referred to a new 'Top 4' on air and said Villa were title contenders this season.
