[mixindave1]

[hhumpo21]

Live down south. Been to Middlesbrough. I'd say it isn't doing it's rich history justice nowadays...

[Rachaelcharlson]

Brilliant!

[mathewf9882]

Damn you Everton!!! You interrupted him!! -:(

[OrtegaRob]

Incredible

[FootballJudgey94]

Jeff would be unhappy with the title. He said it wasn't a rant hahaha! :P

[ephabouyed]

Go on Jeff what a way to defend your roots and past ties, always be proud of where your from.

[richred111]

Go on Jeff!! Hartlepool!!

[IrishWidowMaker]

Brilliant, simply Brilliant!!

[MCFCdaniel]

Jeff Stelling is a fucken legend!

[ArticulateDon]

If he ever leaves the show... THE SHOW MUST STOP

[Murphy94x]

[Murphy94x]

Absolutely quality! Unbelievable Jeff!

[94samboy]

shows that everybody hates us, they cut him off half way through :/

[superally09]

go on!!!

[Bennyboy138]

GO ON JEFF!!!!! :)

[judgejudyslover]

Just got back from London and it makes me appreciate Teesside :)

[Nosteratees]

@judgejudyslover Exactly how I feel each and every time I go there. Teesside's got its problems but everytime I've been to London I can't wait to get on the train / plane and get away from the hordes of moody and apparently discontented people.

[MrJohnPip]

one of the funniest things I've seen on soccer saturday, have a bit of that you southern sofites with your watered down lager and stuck up women

[StigGT2]

Nottingham is a much worse place to live. I should know.

[shanecarroll84]

Team news - Saha still sidelined, some things never change

[TeMpOuK1]

MIDDLESBROUGH IS ABIT OF A SHITHOLE BUT ITS WHERE I REST MY HEAD AT NIGHT SO FUCK WHAT THE STATS SAY MOST OF ENGLAND IS EXACTLY THE SAME ANYWAY CHAVS COUNCIL ESTATES TWOCS ROBBERYS IMMAGRANTS SMACKHEADS DRUG DEALERS AND VIOLENT TOWN CENTRE ON A WEEKEND ! WELCOME TO ENGLAND WIPE YOUR FEET ON THE WAY OUT !

[IrishWidowMaker]

BRILLIANT!!!!!! LMAO, go on "the Jeff"!! :)

[IrishWidowMaker]

Briliiant!!!! :)

[weatherallc05]

lmaooo did any1 from the south discover australia?? nooo did they fuck, the legendary james cook , put his life on the line to get to australia. no southener wold do that. just fuck off you cunts who make these surveys, do you have a village like yarm? nooo, and you didnt make sydney bridge

[weatherallc05]

yeah guys the people who made this survey are obvo southeners, and plus if they said some part of london was worst, then they wold get in trouble. you see at least northerners dont say the south is a shithole, yet southeners are so arrogant that they think its alright to downgrade any other part of the country. selfish, cocky and greedy. never good attributes to have

[devtherevLS]

@weatherallc05 To be fair a lot of Northerners seem to hate the South purely for the fact that it's not where they come from. Regional elitism works both ways. Believe me, I come from Leeds which is full of people trying to come across as all "proper Northern" by slagging "Southern cunts" off.

I find regionalism to be petty, stupid and a catalyst for blinkered arrogance. Everywhere in the country has shit parts, and everywhere in the country has some cracking parts too!

[weatherallc05]

@devtherevLS fairrrr :)

[weatherallc05]

the thing is, middlesbrough isnt the worst place in britain. i hear places like coventry are absolute dumps, some parts of london are shockingggg!! but i live in middlesbrough (yeah yeah i know, but i aint biased), and tbh i havent felt worse about where i live

[Nakke144]

Chris Rea - there is one reason why Middlesbrough owns.

[AJwalker99]

Jeff for mayor of middlesbrough get rid of mallon lol

[delboy933]

fantastic rant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SammyPop1]

Yes Everton! COYB.

[maceyj2]

Amazing rant, wish i was one of the gss team

[weatherallc05]

babyshambles as their ringtone? tbh that band , i gave a chance, listened to them abit but they bored me to death. another indie band who try come accross as clean and snobby but fails. the strokes another example, but that time they had potential in my eye. and then i found out that recently they were taking drugs. just absolute criminal

[weatherallc05]

i think to name a worst place in britain is disgraceful. some areas of london are diabolical, and yet get away with it

[IrishWidowMaker]

TOTALLY BRILLIANT!!!!

[sifunmon]

wow he talks pretty damn fast. and yes he seems like a cool guy

[kstring24]

Who the hell disliked this video? The people that compiled the survey?

[beefysteampig]

What a man

[1978ipswichtillidie]

Jeff Stelling You Legend 

[Bucketheadhead]

Middlesbrough is quite shit though

[UnknownUserName4267]

@Bucketheadhead

Has its advantages though, no need to wreck the place through rioting.

[metalrhubarb]

Jeff's been taking promo lessons from Chris Jericho. :D

[wak4life]

Jeff's the King!!! Go on lad!!!:-)

[zeroalphayf]

haha this is a legendary rant... did he forget to mention PARMOs? Garlic sauce boss?

[pooka543]

What the fuck is Alan Smith doing with his hair?

[topsturner]

A man confident in his position and confident of his roots. Love it Jeff. Sarah (Yuen) x

[SWOOPisCOOL]

[TeMpOuK1]

[BOROBOYJORD11]

JEFF IS THE FUCKING BESST, I MAY NOT LIKE HARTLEPOOL, BUT HE IS A FUCKING LEGEND, MIDDLESBROUGH <3

[Kallytom]

I could watch this all day!!!

[maguirezbeatz]

GO ON JEFF!

[andyjhardie]

hope boro as well as leeds are back in PL soon northern pride!

[rsw4ever]

Don't think ANYBODY was expecting that from Jeff, looking at Thommo's face after he urges Jeff on at 0.38

[bfcricky]

NOTHERN NORTHERN NORTHERN!!!! AND WE'RE PROUD OF IT!!

[jackdalad19]

up the boro

and up the yarm

[andyjhardie]

jeff is a god the north is so much better than the south i'd much rather be from hartlepool than skatesmouth (portsmouth)

[NorwichMusicMan]

here here, im a southener who should be from the north and it annoies me when my fellow south muppets say the north is grim, i often visit Bradford and it is a wonderful city

[tudor312]

LAD

[nightside242]

The most amazing fact in all of this is that Middlesbrough came top, and Stoke-on-Trent didn't. Madness I tell you.

[unkownmale91]

EPIC!

[MFC10MALTBY]

He's Absolutley , correct , if you havnt visted middlesbrough , you cant criticise middlesbrough , theres loads of great stuuf in boro

[MFC10MALTBY]

Legendddddd - Boro one of the greatest towns ever

[oORedeemerOo]

I have never met anyone who doesn't like Jeff and I don't think I ever will. LEGEND

[carolineclapton]

I really, really want to hug Jeff Stelling.

[pualbradshaw1]

All it's Picasso's? Can't remember seeing them but he's right, isn't he?

[dannycheesums]

Jeff is right to give props to most of the stuff on that list, but that hate-mongering cunt Roy Chubby brown would not be on my list of anything good thats for damn sure.

[MikeMarks91]

I LOVE THIS!! LMAO!! Jeff Stelling For Prime-minister!!!

[verygoodbrother]

LOL this is not a rant, then he goes on to rant

my life is complete with soccer saturday

[arsenalchick07]

[nathfrancis01]

You've got to love Jeff Stelling.

[bigborofan54]

JEFF IS THE BOMB.

[MichaelaTHEMoose]

Legend. LOL

[JonsMaName]

GO ON JEFF SON!

[fez41]

As Tony Wilson (RIP) once said (more or less) 'The north has given us some of the greatest popular music the world has known for nearly fifty years. Manchester gave birth to what we now know as the trades union movement. Football teams from the north of England are admired and loved all around the world. And what has London ever given us? - Fuckin Chas & Dave'.

[weatherallc05]

@fez41 exactly!!! london have nothing to offer

[zozomog]

yay!

[xKEG]

what a legend!

[jogey420]

if i played for middlesboro i'd listen to this before every game haha, would get you so fired up. jeff stelling is a god!

[awesomecaz]

God bless the south of England for providing us with such humour, & the north 4 providing us with real people who point out the stupidity of those unfortunate enough to exist in the arse of ingerland

[MICHAELOWENS1234]

Chris Rea's family makes good ice cream?

[IRLangmaid25]

I love this rant. Apparently he got a lovely bouquet from the tourist board in Middleborough on Valentine's Day according to his book.

[AlphaQGoode]

Jeff Stellings had a facelift!!! he looks so different now.

[carolineclapton]

I love Jeff Stelling

[iibeezy]

LEGEND!!!

[mancity1000]

Well said Jeff!!

[SamMorrison12]

Wat a friggen guy, true Boro lad!!

[SouthamptonSpyroFan]

Brilliant

[Nannyfrank]

liverpool won that game with two penalties :)

[Critchy39]

Jeffery forgot to mention all the dirty sluts they have, and the Parmo!

Did not agree with Mallon though. Robocop, more like fucking homo cop

[McGeown22]

This is LEGEND

[Scotty61993]

I was laughing until I saw Liverpool losing to Everton :( Jeff = Legend!

[benjitaba]

did liverpool go on to win..lol

[Mahxirb]

Defending M'boro and is Northern, yet still says "Piccarso" in a Southern accent?

[mazzam1612]

that's how it's pronounced, it's his name. and if you noticed, he doesn't have a strong northern accent as he is a presenter, and presenters are meant to speak in bbc english.

[Mahxirb]

It's Picasso.

[mattyrm]

Im from Middlesbrough, thats how i pronounce it as well.

What is it supposed to be? Pic-ah-so?

Its not a "Southern Accent" its just one of the hundereds of very different accents that makes up the UK.

What point were you trying to make exactly? That he "fakes" his own voice because he wants to sound southern?

[Segaman19]

@ Lilandra: not wrong there. hope Pools get promoted this season. Sod the snobs at Channel 4.

[Lliandra]

Omg the man is a legend :D Up the Pools!!

[grazzhoper]

Well said Jeff, you are a god !!!

We are not worthy o great one

[TheAnnoyifier]

JEFF FOR PRIME MINISTER!

[Naightdog]

I agree! Jeff Stelling 4 Prime Minister!!!!!!!!!! lol

[JKSJKS1]

dont worry not every1 like that hates middlesboro calm down

[BoroDanny90]

Unreal simple as, Jeff is a ledgend!

[jacobwarr]

ponsy fucking cockney bastards, well said jeff, they dont know about the mima, will manion, massimo maccerone, joseph job, george boateng, juninho, emerson

[rooftopjump]

Yeah - great Geordies, black and white stripes right through 'em like rock - Emerson, Maccerone, Job, Boateng and Juninho... As for the MIMA, don't you bother going as they don't have cartoons or KFC there

[gregriches]

I beg to differ, there is a kfc :)

[rooftopjump]

Should I be surprised?

[rooftopjump]

Tyne/Tees is a dump of an area. Although it rains all the time, the buildings in this wasteland are still covered in the grime of the area's "industrial heritage". Whippets, flat caps, factory skeletons, pigeon-fanciers, discarded pit-head wheels slowly turning in the gale blowing off the North Sea - there you have it. Oh - and the beer's horrible too.

[rooftopjump]

Jacob mate - don't you mean "oop 'ere mon, why aye"?

[jacobwarr]

no i mate, im not a fucking geordie twat, go fuck a barge pole its what youre worth

[jacobwarr]

no i mate, im not a fucking geordie twat, go fuck a barge pole its what youre worth

[rooftopjump]

Jacob - calm doon mon and head oop to tha nowerth east where you belong - with the other bone-headed illiterates wi' potty mooths

[jacobwarr]

go fuck a barge pole its what youre worth. you southern bastard, id like to see you come up here, youll get a battering. Stop talking geordie, im a teessider through and through

[rooftopjump]

Jacob - you are displaying the levels of articulacy typical of Geordies such as yourself - ie none. Calm down, shave your head and go stroke a whippet - it's very therapeutic

[gregriches]

typical of geordies? i'd like a reference to where this comes from please. and also, intelligence is greater down south? i just thought it was full of pretentious morons who think they're something they're not?

[weatherallc05]

@gregriches well i think cockney is the most annoying accent, and the guys who made the survey about worst place in england are obviously from the south and hoped for biased results. fuck the cockneys, the biased arrogant twats

[gregriches]

more retarded comments, not one bit of that was correct, sort yourself out.

[TheNorthernScum]

Cor blimey gov. You want some lemonade in the top of your pint? Fucking shandy pants southerners.

[gregriches]

it's spelt wey aye you silly southern pretentious prick.

[gregriches]

oh and oop ere mon, i think you need to re-visit the north if you think thats how anybody speaks up there?

[TheNorthernScum]

Hahaha. Get some jellied eels in yer.

[Segaman19]

@RooftopJump. Are you scared of Middlesbrough? We Teessiders are better than you lot sown there; Jeremy Clarkson makes a joke, you whinge to Ofcom, we Teessiders laugh at his well-observed opinion. You have a right listening to people who never go to the place they want to criticise, but you should actually come up to Middlesbrough and you will like it, sir/madam!!!

[rooftopjump]

@Segaman19 A spirited defence, but how do you know I haven't, don't regularly, experience the fragrant delights of Linthorpe and Corporation Roads? I have of course. It's still a dump.

[Segaman19]

You're contradicting yourself there. A dump can't be fragrant. Get yourself out of THAT maze.

[jackwardjw]

OK Segaman, don't even bother trying to outwit rooftopjump. It's clear from reading both comments that he's on a different level from you intelectually. This is evidenced by the fact that you appear unable to spell correctly and that he displays a far greater written competency. When he uses the term 'fragrant delights', he is being sarcastic/ironic. Do you understand those concepts? He has not contradicted himself in any way. I'm sure Middlesbrough is a wonderful place to call home. lol

[Segaman19]

I ONLY MADE ONE MISTAKE!!!!!!

[rooftopjump]

@Segaman19 OK, bar-room barrister. What about the waste materials depository (dump to you) at the Schwartz herb and spice factory?

[Segaman19]

Dude, I have no idea where the Schwartz factory is.

[pjm012345]

@segaman19 You still have shit football teams up there though dont u lol

[Segaman19]

At least ours don't take up 3 quarters of MOTD!!!!

[WetWetWet10]

Fan-bluddy-tastic the comments Geoff Stelling makes..about my former (adopted) home town. 30 years I was a Smoggie, but I WON'T have anyone knocking the 'boro, (or Teesside as a whole).

Geoff even manged to get a name check in for MY all-time hero Chris (God) Rea.

Nice one, Geoff

[jacobwarr]

well said mate(Y)

[TrickyBlack]

jacobwarr .. you think you know him dont you "well said mate(Y)"

[bebopuk88]

Anyone who likes anything to do with football are filthy reactionary scum

[djdfca]

Jeff Stelling, totally brilliant. In fact I think a knighthood is long overdue for the best presenter in tv sports history.

It should be Sir Jeff Stelling.

[CJP510]

Absolute Legend!! Incredible host and easily one of my fav presenters :) Not too fussy with the end of the video as a Liverpool fan but at least we won it :P

[PhillDog13]

Jeff Stelling = LEGEND

[JTMusicTeeside]

Finally somone sticks up for middlebrough against the southeners

[SallyB1985]

Legend

[Segaman19]

As a Boro fan, DoodleCheeseBug, I'm honoured. Are you a regular viewer of GSS?

[doodlecheesebug2]

Indeed I am a regular viewer of GSS. I've got most of the 2007/08 season and had started on the 2008/09 season, but stopped getting it after the one for 25th October 2008 went wrong, though not as painful as not being able to record the one when Liverpool lost Barnsley altogether!

P.S. I hope your beloved 'Boro make a swift return to the Premier League soon.

[NorseJohn]

As a pompey fan I agree wholeheartedly - wanted the geordies to go down but not the smoggies... i have always liked boro, and was a big fan of southgate.
