Jeff is the reason I watch Soccer Saturday. Others have hosted the show when there are no premier league games but come nowhere close to Jeff. Sky are gonna have to get his replacement right.

I'd quit if I had to talk to Kris Boyd every week!

I think it has to be Julian Warren doesn't it? Just as good as Jeff IMO and he certainly knows his stuff. Promote from within I say on this occasion but please not Clare Tomlinson lol. While most of the country were rejoicing last Sunday evening at the Man U defeat, her depressing presentation of the debacle on SSN was as if someone had died. I seriously had to check which team she supported. I know the presenters are supposed to be unbiased but honestly I could have swore she was a Man U fan. Turns out she supports Spurs.

I'll miss Jeff but if I had to sit next to Tim Sherwood, Clinton Morrison & Michael Dawson every week I'd probably quit too.

Won’t be the same, he’s really quick thinking and knits it all together.
Love his banter with Kammy too.

Haven’t seen enough of Warren, but I’ll trust your judgment, Wilsden.

Big loss.

He has defended a few times this season as well.

He is the main reason to watch it. When Sky decided to be more inclusive they lost the banter from the older, experienced players who were not frightened to voice their opinions.

He made Ross County v Dumbarton sound dramatic 😀

Dave Clark sometimes replaced him. Leeds supporter too. I think he then went to boxing and darts coverage.

Julian will probably sit in for Jeff at the international break Finn so you can check him out
