I really hope this is a ruse too.

But if it isn’t, why? This show is so successful and brilliant. What am I going to do now after the saturday football?
Just imagine how brilliant the next few episodes could have been, with the Benitez – Ferguson spat, and United vs the Special One in the Champions League…

I really hope this isn’t true.

I sure hope you’re right about this being a ruse. We can’t be without Jose, just as Rafa is showing signs of falling to Sir Alex’ mind games. Two more weeks and Rafa’s going to succumb to the altitude sickness and ManU will be back on top of the Premiership where they belong I can just imagine the show when Rafa has to explain how the Scousers fell from the top rung! Come back Jose and friends. We need you!!

I think the voyeur is innocent of any wrong doing, I think it’s the Winston from Jamaica who got It in trouble.. so they had to pull it because of Legal Minefield!

The apparent lack of explanation WHY the show is going off air is indeed pointing towards a ruse. And what Eric said just now makes it all the more likely.

Kinda makes sense too, because the first rule in television is you DON’T can a show that’s successful. There’s good shows that get cancelled all the time because of poor audience, and crappy ones staying on the air because ~~idiots~~ people watch them.

And I don’t buy the “quit while you’re on top” idea…

There is a rumor circulating that this is sort of a ruse — that this will be the final episode IOSS, but Jose, It and Wayne will return on a show called Special 1 TV. Setanta does have that show listed, one for 5 minutes on Jan. 11 and one for 15 minutes on Jan. 18.

Shut up Setanta

-Season 1 Phone Convo between Becks and Sven-
Sven: I am with the Special One.
Becks: Ohhh, nice one. What’s her name?
Sven: No, no no, David. The Special One…is a man.
Becks: Oh. Um. That’s great, Sven.
Jose: Okay, okay, okay, shut up!

Cruel, cruel world this is, taking something with so much quality, and so much obvious support away from football. What am I going to do without my weekly helping of my lovable hapless Sven, the witty antics of Jose, and always illuminating Wayne? It just doesn’t make any sense.

Someone at Setanta is going to get a very…firmly worded email, if it’s the last thing I do.

Shut up and be champions.
