What a day to be alive.
The lull of no early Premier League kick-offs has been lifted with an absolutely cracking Sky Sports News gaffe.
It seems that a fire alarm in the building has seen the Soccer Saturday team evacuate SSN HQ and, in a panic, someone in all their wisdom decided to run a Tony Pulis segment on loop.
From the top of the hour at one o’clock, we were force-fed Pulis propaganda as an interview with the new West Brom manager and his impact at the Hawthorns just played over and over. And over and over. And over again.
Sorry folks, the Soccer Saturday team have had to evacuate the studio following a fire alarm. Jeff is currently trying to put the fire out!

Naturally, the fantastic folks of Twitter latched onto it and produced some hilarious tweets.

6 – Tony Pulis has won six of his last nine Premier League game as a manager, drawing two and losing just one. Repeating.

But, of course, Jeff Stelling was there to make it all okay. What a guy.

The Soccer Saturday anchor reappeared with a fire helmet and three firemen and brilliantly pretended to introduce the Tony Pulis feature again.
