I did something on Saturday that I haven't done for some time - I watched Football Focus - and wish I hadn't.
Football Focus is a legacy TV show but this was pedestrian, vacuous, uninspiring and uninformative.
I grew up with Football Focus, informing myself about the state of the game and listening to people like Bob Wilson, Ray Stubbs and Mark Lawrenson who had kudos and cachet and yet I sat there last weekend and thought: what am I watching here?
Why is it a primary aim to select a fan – in this instance a gay West Brom supporter – seemingly based solely on his sexuality to talk about his club?
