Soccer Am. Is Am Short For Amatuer?

It's a programme in-joke. They also call Bournemouth 'Ballmouth' every time their name comes up, because of a time an American guest picked their name out of a hat, pretending to become a supporter of whatever name he picked out. He shouted out what sounded like Ballmouth! When he picked them, so the Soccer AM team now refer to them that way. They have others - 'Tottingham' being another one. I think the Raith one started when Jeff Stelling accidentally called them 'Ravers' during a Soccer Saturday score flash.

My bad. In my defence I seldom tune into the shows as I found them a bit repetitive in the past.

I'm currently rolling on the floor laughing at their superb wit.

I don't mind them, it reminds me a bit of TISWAS or Swap Shop on a Saturday in my youth. Live TV and a bit off the wall.
