Watching this at the moment. New shorter show is quite good to be honest. No more boring segements , not keen on the socerrete being in several parts though!

3 hours was too long, now its like all the best bits with no filler....apart from that crappy skills school.

That blimps bound to be whacked off by May

Helen is still looking gorgeous though with a short dress on, showing her cleavage and legs.

Why did they think they had to keep the Ant & Dec in the jungle thing, it got so old after a couple of weeks. 'I'm blind !'.

Bring back 'Man in a caff'.

I miss the Iron Soldier, and the comedy bit around the Soccerette. Still, it was much less self-indulgent, and might give the show more legs.

2 hours still to long,relegation this season.

Sorry, but she looks rougher than a dog. I fail to see the attraction. Couldn't understand her either.

Thought it was decent, poor guests though i thought, some decent segments some not so.

Stopped watching it when Lovejoy and the others left, watched the best bits on anytime last year and wasn't all that impressed. I still go back to when it first started with "Soccer Locker" used to love that.

If any tv show needs a massive format change its this. Seems more like a helen chamberlain ego fest than it ever was when even Lovejoy was on.

I love Soccer AM. I've recorded it so will watch it later, but I Iron Soldier was brilliant.

They should ditch crossbar challenge, or maybe alternate it with skills school. They should also only have guests who are actually interested in football!

Tim Lovejoy made that programme what it is today. I much prefer Max to Andy Goldstein. I love the fact that Helen dispels myths that girls don't like football, or are only interested on a superficial level.

Looks wise I think her best days are probably behind her, but I think she makes the best of herself on a show where actually it doesn't matter what you look like anyway!!!

I think its pretty funny when they have Americans on and they blatantly know nothing about football but try to fit in (like the guy from Superbad last series), has anybody on here been on as a group of fan?, or even been a soccerette;):)

Helen is now astoundingly unattractive. Her ridiculous hair cut ages her by at least a decade and her clothes are just awful.

Helen is a tomboy trying to look girly, it doesn't work.

Dino M · 15/08/10 - 20:55

I can remember when Soccer AM used to start at 8 and go through until 12, then it went to 9 and it is now starting at 10.

Is it just a format change, or is there another reason for this only now being 2 hours, falling viewing figures or just simply a change.

I did not see yesterdays show as I was working, but will be watching again this coming Saturday, as it is almost a ritual to watch this on a Saturday morning now, even though the show has got worse over the past few years, especially since Tim left and took a lot of the crew with him. It still worth watching, but nowhere near what it was.

tinman · 15/08/10 - 21:07

Dont think its ever been on 4 hours,has it?

Yes, it did use to start at 8 am.

I now record this to watch on a Sunday morning to skip trhough the rubbish. Really surprised they still have Tubes question which is cringeworthly bad.

degsyhufc · 17/08/10 - 16:46

A couple of seasons back I used to watch the highlights show but even that could be skipped through and there was only about 20 mins of decent content and that usually depended on the guest(s).

It was when Lovejoy first started on the show, as I always used to think it was wrong to get up at 8 on a Saturday just to watch Soccer AM, but it was worth getting up for back then.

I think the 2 hour format now might work, but without seeing it in full I cannot really comment.

Yes it was when it first started.

Infact I was a moderator of the biggest unofficial soccer am website (socceram.net) until it went rubbish a couple of years back. Used to do a fair few clips way back when, still find a few of them on the internet, youtube etc...

[Deleted User] · 17/08/10 - 19:55

I used to enjoy Soccer AM but I stopped watching it 6 or 7 years ago. I catch it now and again and chuckle but it was much better in the past. I can remember getting up early as a kid on a Saturday and watching it before going to play football, back when it first started. As I got to my late teens, I kinda just stopped watching it.

Having seen how terribly she was dressed today, I am now convinced that she is doing it for a bet. That would explain why someone kept with the worst haircut in the world for so long.

Hey there!
