You already knew that The Special One was funny in I'm On Setanta Sports, and the debut of Special 1 TV last week was a strong start, but none of that will prepare you for the absolute hilarity that takes place in the second episode.
I can't do the episode justice with my words, so just watch and enjoy:
Lines of the episode include:
"I was told the Gene Hackman was lacking in Quaresma, so I gave him some."
'Tighter, baby, tighter."
"Do you think having Arse-shavin will improve your performance?"
"People are talking about a probe into your Arse-shavin fiasco."
"You have Brazilian and Arse-shavin? Pretty smooth voyuer."
"How can I be away when I'm at home?"

HILARIOUS! What was your favorite line?
What a great show. One of the best. I actually got the majority of it and was losing it.
I’d just like to add that I totally don’t get these…
sir alex “just sitting here with a bottle of wine, top of the table, enjoying the circus below.”
This episodes was one of the funniest.
Will anything ever beat Monty Python’s Germany vs. Greece in the philosopher’s World Cup? Probably not, but thank goodness this show exists. I guarantee the real special one watches it every night and laughs his ass off.
I just don’t get what people think is so funny. It’s just too juvenile for my taste, but hey I’m 52 and don’t watch cartoons either. Seems a bit lame, cartoon footy commentators. I pass.
“Drogba, I warned you about simulation”. I love it when Drogba comes on there begging Jose to take him to Italy. Good stuff.
Best show on TV. Are there any media reports about how the actual people feel about being portrayed on this show? I would guess that Jose, Sir Alex and Wayne all love it, but the others, not so much. My favorite episode had Roy Keene doing the “hoovering”. According to the credits, two guys do all of the voices. They are very creative and talented. So glad it’s back.
Rooney ” Get the TANK!!!”
Definitely the Arshavin bit as well as the one with Beckham!
Seems like the man is finally back on his way to Europe where AC will probably be his “Home”… http://www.soccerbox.com/internationalteams/acmilanshop/beckham-ac-milan-home-shirt.html
I’ve heard of this before in other websites and blogs and since this was noted to be a classic I decided to see it…what a snooze….I just don’t get hte humor in it and trust me I know what they are talking about…
what a waste of time, your just mailing it in at this point
I was laughing as hard as the Boy with that Arse-shavin stuff, that was genius defined. And I thank Jose for letting out the word on why Sven cancelled practice on his birthday.
seriously BB forgets that he hasn’t name his squad yet. I mean, when is he going to do it? Tuesday night?
arse shavin… pure awesomeness
lol rooney
That is too funny!
The whole Arse-shavin thing was hilarious.
“Brazilian AND Arse-shavin…very smooth voyeur.” I was like Wayne at that point…
very nice episode
WOW. This might have been my favorite episode ever. Amazing. I was trying to drink hot chocolate while watching… NOT a good idea. hahaha
Sven making it rain…..nice.
Out-freekin-standing.
Favorite lines:
Rooney: Get me the tank!
Sven and Becks: You hang-up. No you hang-up. No you hang-up…
Absolute brilliant writing.
Thanks, Ives.
These are getting better each week — or maybe I just understand them more.
HA HA HA! Can’t wait for the episode after the US runs over Sven and El Tri. Good stuff.
OMG I almost died when I heard the begging of Drogba simply priceless! “Please gaffer!!”
Loved Sven and Becks telling each other to hang up first — classic.
How much did it cost you to have your Arseshavin?
About 11 million, why?
11 million, You could’ve had a Brazillian for that!

Sven at a strip club = gold…
Jamie, totally true. Always personal preference.
I’m with Mike in not finding the Special One particularly funny. But I do think the Mitchell and Webb football clip very funny.
To each their own!
laughed so hard my eyes teared up. these things are by far the best thing on tv right now. nothing comes close.
Anyone know if the episodes will be on itunes?
Best one yet. 🙂 🙂
Hmmmm…still don’t think it’s that funny.
Kahlva, I love the Mitchell & Webb stuff, too (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF_uOgyBK1c), but I don’t see why it’s either/or.
Wayne’s reaction to the Voyeur call was hilarious.
haha who was yelling at rafa?
“What did I tell you about simulation?” Ha Ha
Eh. I find this stuff funnier:

That definitely rates as one of the best episodes I have seen.
Pure gold.
