Brainy Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 talkSPORT’s presenter Andy Goldstein has been axed from Sky Sports show Soccer AM after just one season. He is to be replaced by Max Rushden. MORE TO FOLLOW. Link Quite disappointed really. At least he'll be on the radio for the next few weeks, his show the other day was alright. Not quite about Max Rushden though. He's also been covering for somebody on the radio for the past few weeks, i've enjoyed listening to him but im not quite sure how he'll get on. Bit of a shock.
Phube Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 They should have really changed the format after Tim went, so it wasn't just him copying Lovejoy...
The Stig Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 ANDY GOLDSTEIN has been axed from cult Sky show Soccer AM after just one season. He’s like the AVRAM GRANT of telly — the fans didn’t like him, he lacked the necessary charm and quickly got his marching orders. Bosses gave the Man United-supporting Londoner the boot at a secret meeting last week after 41 mornings in the hot seat as host. And bearing in mind his predecessor TIM LOVEJOY lasted ten years, that has to hurt. The writing has been on the wall ever since Andy landed his lardy arse on the sofa next to co-host HELEN CHAMBERLAIN in August last year. As the season progressed and he blundered his way through interviews and made a hash of gags, it seemed more and more like The Helen Chamberlain Show. Watching him trying to find common ground with RAY WINSTONE was as comfortable as trying to put on a pair of wet jeans. To rub salt into the wound, Andy’s job has gone to MAX RUSHDEN from bargain shopping channel bid tv. Max should be feeling confident, following in Andy’s footsteps won’t be too difficult. If you want to hear Max in action, tune into the late show on TalkSport later this month. And good luck, Andy. I hear there’s a job at bid tv. Taken from The Sun. Harsh article, I liked Goldstein but I admit his interviews weren't great. The format of the show needs a change, I still enjoy it but it's plain to see its on its last legs.
Durnerz Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 I hate him, a poor mans Jonothan Ross, good riddance.
Corky Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 Not good enough, bit of a pain really. Didn't have the charm that Lovejoy, for all his faults, had.
FoxesFan100 Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 Get Lovejoy back, Goldsetin was no match for the legend himself. Lets hope this new guy does good.
lildave3 Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 I didn't mind him at all. Got better as the year went on.
CKB Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 Never got used to him myself, interesting to see if this new guy does better!
Simi Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 Soccer AM is dead now anyway. Glad Lovejoy left though. He's a willy puller.
Samilktray Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 Soccer AM is dead now anyway.Glad Lovejoy left though. He's a willy puller.
lavrentis Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 Get Lovejoy back, Goldsetin was no match for the legend himself. Lets hope this new guy does good. I thought Lovejoy was quite up his own arse. Goldstein wasn't bad.
Simi Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 Get Lovejoy back, Goldsetin was no match for the legend himself. Lets hope this new guy does good. Lovejoy is an arsehole. Arrogant **** who always thinks he's right.
Matt Posted 10 June 2008 Posted 10 June 2008 When it first started and he had took over I didn't like but he definetly got better through the season. ...Who is this Rushden bloke?

The Stig Posted 13 June 2008 Posted 13 June 2008 I really think that was harsh, so does this facebook group. Link
Simi Posted 13 June 2008 Posted 13 June 2008 I really think that was harsh, so does this facebook group. Link That's possibly the worst facebook group I've ever seen. "Sacking him was a little harsh" :laugh:

Brainy Posted 25 June 2008 Author Posted 25 June 2008 “Shocker AM” with Andy Goldstein says the Daily MirrorAdded: Wednesday 25th June The Daily Mirror newspaper has described Andy Goldstein’s Eurostars show on talkSPORT as “Shocker AM” and the presenter as sounding “desperate.” Sorry for bringing this up again but I think the critisicm of him is becoming a bit of a joke now.
Uncle Albert Posted 25 June 2008 Posted 25 June 2008 I like Andy Goldstein to be honest, he knew from the start that he was never going to be liked as much as Lovejoy, so he didnt try to be like him. Helen Chamberlain is the person who needs to go, she brings nothing to the show no more. Helen out! Sheephead in!
Staf Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 Max Rushden replacing him - lifelong Cambridge United fan Meet Max! Last updated: 25th June 2008 Max: can't wait to start Soccer AM has welcomed its newest member of the team; Max Rushden. The new face for Soccer AM will join our very own first lady, Helen Chamberlain in a brand new studio for the start of the 2008-2009 season. Max is a lifelong Cambridge United fan and joins the Soccer AM team from BBC London where he co-presented the Breakfast radio show. The Sony award-winning presenter will make his debut in front of the nation on August 16th when the show is back on your screens and he told SoccerAM.com he can't wait to start... Max on the show... I'm a massive fan of the show. I was actually on it on Boxing Day in 2000 as one of the Fans of the Week with some other Cambridge fans. The car park game at the time was Chips which I think was probably a lot harder, it's got easier over the years. I scored one though and one bounced out which I'm still a little bit disappointed about, but I presume I'll get lots of time to practise now! His first football memory... My first memory of watching football was sitting with my dad at half time and being 2-0 down to Exeter City in about 1986 and wondering, is this genuinely fun or not! But we drew 2-2 in the end so it was ok. My first playing memory was scoring an own-goal for my scouts football team. I was about three years older than everyone else and I hit it with the outside of my boot into the bottom corner. On Cambridge United... I was a season ticket holder for about 12 years and watched two years of complete dross. Then we had about five good years - we won our first ever play-off final at Wembley and got to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. The next year we won the old third division and got into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup again. The year after that we got into the play-offs to get into the Premier League and then it all went very horribly wrong. His football hero... Well when I was young there was the right-winger for Cambridge called Michael Cheetham, he was very quick and skilful. I base my game on Teddy Sheringham - a very slow striker, first 20 yards are in the head, good touch, but I don't score any goals... is that a problem for a striker? I only scored four last year for my local team, Polytechnic 6ths, in Chiswick and I had the same strike rate as Emile Heskey someone told me. His TV hero... My TV hero is probably Jeff Stelling, but I'm also a big fan of Danny Baker and worked with him at BBC London World which was great. His world records... I used to hold two world records. I did have the record for the longest ever radio show, which was six days in a shopping centre in Cambridge, but I think someone started to try and break it before I had even finished, so it actually took longer to get then what I held it for, but it was fun. I also had the world record for the most number of people tied together to run the London Marathon, but then 25 coppers did it this year so they now hold the record. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but it was a great feeling when it was over.
