For years now one of the highlights of my televisual week has been They Think It's All Over which has consistently made me laugh.
I have been very disappointed with the current series and think that perhaps they have run out of ideas and it is now time to knock the program on it's head.
At one time Phil Tufnell and David Seaman were talented sportsmen but that doesn't make them particularly talented television performers and it shows, as the scripted gags are now too obvious and the onscreen rivalry that Gower and Lineker had is missing.
The program has become too predictable and by the time they have made the now customary couple of jokes about Phil Tufnell and drugs, David Seaman letting in goals, David Beckham's IQ, Wayne Rooney's size, Pete Sampras's body hair there is no time left for anything new.
Anyone else think that this program has gone stale or am I just an old curmudgeon
