Still remember the rocket he scored against us when they lost 2-6 and the commentator screaming: Jenas by name, genious by nature
Jermaine Jenas | Sacked by BBC
- Thread starter Hoof the ball
- Start date
Sad news. Some of you lot celebrating his demise should give your head a wobble. I happen to think he's a great pundit and more importantly, a top bloke.
Also if the colleagues aren't under legal age then he's going against BBC policy for covering it up/hoping no one notices for a few decades.
So will this be an expensive divorce coming up for Mr. Irresistable.
Jesus!
I tried to watch for a few seconds there. But even with the schadenfreude and deliciousness of knowing he’s been sacked, I just can’t listen to him.
We always knew he was a dodgy cnut
The segment he is doing right now is called 'Jermaine in the membrane'. If this is his last show, at least he went out true to himself - being a cringemonster.
How do we write in to TNT Sports to get him taken off that too?
Has he be involved in any inappropriate behaviour with anybody on here?
Better than any transfer news. Never thought to live this day. Can’t stand him.
He had the personality of a block of wood. Good riddance.
Maybe Chelsea will sign him.
I still don't understand how anyone working in TV went "yeah, he'll make a good presenter". I don't even dislike him, he's just so bland. Watching him is a bit like watching commercials clearly not aimed at you.
Here's an example of the first class analysis and insight we've come to expect from the man. He will be sorely missed as a pundit and is an all round top bloke.
No white text?
You can't break it to him now, he's doing crucial work that cannot be compromised. Like an astronaut on the moon whose family has died.
Can't even be a top bloke without being fired for inappropriate behaviour these days.
Surprised he's still hosting a show while it's announced. The beeb wouldn't have fired him on the spot without speaking to him first - it would be a HR nightmare.
Nothing wrong with a harmless bit of groping. Political correctness gone mad. These days if you say you’re English you get arrested and thrown in jail.
I mean tbf, he's going to have known before he went on air with talksport. They would have to go through the whole investigation process and inform him formally before they actually sacked him, and he'd have probably known informally before then that he was effectively screwed.
Why am I not surprised the so-called squeaky clean looking ones are the ones who are up to no good? Those videos of Richard Keys and Andy Gray made me cynical towards pundits in general.
It’s even worse now for the current day heads as they have to do the whole ‘respect diversity’ thing these days and be upfront about it as part of the broadcasts, where as when Keys and Gray were there it wasn’t as present.
‘Women need to be respected in football and by the way send me nudes and I will smash’

This is the station that employed Richard Keys and Andy Gray after Sky gave them the boot.
Indeed. Sad times we live in. World's gone mad. Stay strong Jermaine.
I mean...come on, look at BBC's track record! Jenas probably refused to touch a child or something.
Now that the insufferable boredom of Jenas is gone, we can look forward more to the far more exciting punditry of his charismatic colleagues, such as Alan Shearer and that one with the generic hair who used to play for Hull for a bit.
Oh for sure. Don't doubt Talksport will milk this for all it's worth. I'm just surprised he decided to still go on air
This is his Churchillian moment. His finest 3 hours.
Pressure? What pressure! Pressure is for tires!
Maybe nobody's told the cnutHe's talking about Eddie Howe as potential England manager, as if none of this is happening.
I'm not allowed to post links but you can watch it live on their youtube channel. It's a bit surreal that they are just carrying on as normal.
Nah, he's a cnut

Well comments are turned off.. so not as normal.
I knew someone that worked as a runner on the "Match of the day X-tra" they did to try and appeal to "da yoof" He was very much being groomed to takeover from Gary Lineker as the face of football on the beeb. I always felt he was pale and insipid as a presenter but he appealed a lot to the "focus group" type of fans.
This won't be a case of a few "near the knuckle" texts for them to have decided to very publicly bin him off. I suspect much more details will come out soon!

Chris Finch, bloody good rep.
Whatever he's done aside, he's was bloody awful as a commentator! Couldn't stand the guy.
Having said that, I'm not surprised he's done something dodgy. He looked like the sort that would finger the lettuce at the Pizza Hut Salad bar.

Never thought much of his punditry and could stand him on The One Show (mind you, can't stand that bit of fluff at all)
See, I've always found him to be bland too, and perhaps this is contradictory, but also genuinely irritating and unlikeable. Leaving aside his consistent ability to be wrong about everything, he had a sort of petulant arrogance to confidently assert his terrible takes that made him so much worse than just a charisma vacuum.
"I would say to the Director-General, as I said to those who have joined this organisation: 'I have nothing to offer but
Always thought he was just a solid, top, top bloke. This news has grazed me.
