You know that you’re well and truly in the middle of an international break when Paul Jewell makes an appearance on Gillette Soccer Saturday.
We’re sure that football fans around the country had the same experience as us when they flicked over in the hope of seeing Jeff Stelling, Matt Le Tissier, Paul Merson, Phil Thompson and Charlie Nicholas.
Rather, we were met with utter disenchantment at the sight of Julian Warren, Iain Dowie, Paul Jewell, Tony Cottee and some fecker named Gary Johnson.
You know there’s no Premiership football on when Gary Johnson is on Soccer Saturday.

Even the pundits look bored on soccer Saturday today. I’m betting there’s more people on camera than there is watching. — Alistair Williams (@LaughatAl) March 28, 2015
