The link takes you to a review of a Tim Lovejoy ” Autobiog,” and it is evisceratingly brutal…
I don’t know much about TL part from two partial viewings of the ladfest Soccer AM and I don’t really have a dog in whatever the fight was, but When Saturday Comes has tweeted the link for World Book Day – and God bless them..

This is the first thing I think of when I see Tim Lovejoy mentioned too!
MC Escher says
Wow, being dissed by Charlie Brooker. That’s like a cockroach slagging off a dung beetle.
Rigid Digit says
He really is the end of a bell.
He was a Watford fan when he started on Soccer AM. Then Chelsea started winning stuff. Result. He became a lifelong Chelsea fan
Lovejoy’s Partridge moment when challenged by Martin Freeman to name 3 Ramones albums.
“The Best Of The Ramones”
count jim moriarty says
As he once said: ‘You’ll never see me on a cooking show’. Current gig: Sunday Brunch on C4 with chef Simon Rimmer.
Moose the Mooche says
The appropriately named Rimmer claims to have invented pulled pork (why would you do that?) and was last seen being shite on Strictly.
Bring back Keith Floyd.
DogFacedBoy says
My only problem with the MartinFreeman Ramones thing is not only does it stink of snobbery but Freeman is a massive cunt.
Have you seen the cover of that Jazz comp he has done? The canary yellow slacks, the Michael Caine specs and the smug look on his face. Vomit in pictorial form. I would post it here but I wouldn’t want to scare the animals
Rigid Digit says
There is that – Martin Freeman does come over a bit sneery, school bully-ish.
Martin Freeman has built a career on smug looks (combined with vacancy).
(He wasn’t so annoying on the Jam doc though)
Gatz says
For some reason I once found myself looking up his Wiki entry, which contains ed the memorable line ‘He is considered by many middle aged women to be attractive [citation needed].
Moose the Mooche says
That made me laugh.
As did this, from the review: … he complains that “all you’ll hear blasting out of the team dressing room is R&B, rather than what the rest of the country is listening to” – by which he means indie bands. The rest of the country is listening to R & B, you big twat.
Not being interested in football means avoiding hearing jizzbubbles like this. I like my life!
Lemonhope says
Ahrr – you lot are mean. Mean boys.
He’s alright isn’t he? Pretty harmless sort of fella I think, the programme is mostly perfect Sunday morning fodder, Rimmer seems ok too, [despite being a Scouser] The bit about him ‘inventing’ pulled pork was a running joke on the show – you can’t believe everything you read, apparently.
The bit about RnB is twattish, I’ll give you that.
Anyway, until he does something truly awful, I shall continue to find him unobjectionable.
count jim moriarty says
He does something truly awful every week. He turns up at C4 and goes on air…
Uncle Wheaty says
Seems like a nice enough chap to me on the odd occasion I have watched him on TV.
Never watched Soccer AM so can’t base my opinion on anything else.
Sitheref2409 says
Every time I see his name posted anywhere, I link to that article.
He’s everything worst about TV celebs.
Moose the Mooche says
I have to say, I enjoyed his contribution to Slave to the Rhythm.
Black Celebration says
Changing the team you support to follow one that wins things? What the…?
The only other adult I have known who has openly done this is David “Kid!” Jensen who loves football and changes allegiances towards the one that’s currently doing all the winning.
Ahh_Bisto says
Some people even change allegiance between teams that win Sweet Football Association
Sewer Robot says
All fair⬆️
But he was excellent in Deadwood..
The Good Doctor says
I know nothing of Sportball so this person does not impact on my world – I suspect I am missing nothing whatsoever. Taylor Parkes on the other hand I’ve been very much enjoying on the Chart Music Podcast -him discussing, at length and uncovering the dark and queasy truth of ‘Reggae Like It Used to Be’ by Paul Nicholas or ‘Little’ Jimmy Osmond or Driver 67 etc…
