    That is good news Mat. Apparently he turned down the screen test a month ago and they offered job to Alexander Armstrong, who then backed out and then they came up with a better offer for Stelling. I think he is class on Soccer Saturday but all the women in my family and female friends dont like him, they all remark on him whenever he is on! Of course I always put them right but not sure how he'll go down with the 'oldies' on channel 4!! :)

    It's a bold move by Channel 4 to say the least but he should be good value for it

    I can hear it now.

    It's 14 games since the word Perfectly has scored points


    If someone gets the word Brown, is he going to get his musical doll out?



    Hope he does well at it, he is great on a saturday.

    It was announced that Alexander Armstrong was getting it though. Stelling turned down the original screen test interview

    He was tipped for the job just over a month back but pulled out of negotiations a few days later. I certainly didn't see anything saying he had got the job before today's announcement

    It was in a number of papers that he was getting the job, I seen it on Sky somewhere. He did pull out of negotiations , but that was mid-October.
