    Big fan of Chapman here, its a shame he doesnt present sunday forum more often, doesnt seem afraid to say what he thinks, and can also be very funny at times to, he's used terribly by ITV but then again as others have said, their coverage is muck, some of the lines from the presenters are so cringeworthy at times.

    Is it just me or is there a right smell of the mediterranean around here?

    I hear he had a Sunday forum with Walsh last week. Where could one find it?

    Have been sure I heard him on a few programmes lately but could not find any info.

    Was flicking through the channels and I thought I heard him on Dancing On Ice and sure enough it's him, the ****ing sell out :D.

    Love my racing but he is the only one who makes me switch it off....they took the worst from all the racing channels and put them together on itv racing...just seen luke harvey got racing presenter of the year...jesus wept.

    I thought that was a joke tbh :eek:

    I like chapman but then again I liked big mac if only for the reason he'd have a go at a non trier from time to time and like someone said here you see it every day of the week a horse not running on merit yet nobody ever questions it.
    You don't bite the hand the feeds you either I suppose.

    He's after quitting Dancing On Ice after one week. Too much stick from social media apparently. Wouldn't be caught dead watching that tripe so I've no idea how bad he was. Although I presume he was a little stuck for words as he can't name drop Rich Ricci or Faugheen The Machine (TM) every ten seconds.

    Didn't quit, was sacked by ITV. Pretty harsh after one week but I wouldn't watch that junk if you paid me so not too upset.

    Is Chapman in trouble? It looks like he was stood down on Irish National day after making a comment about the last fence of the national having more carnage than the M25 after a bank holiday weekend. Has not even been on Twitter since.

    There's been a few posts on instagram from him anyway. He blocked me on twitter I think for questioning him about why he writes for that absolute shiithouse of a rag.

    Sensitive soul is our Matt, he's decent when presenting Sunday Forum and his paddock interviews can be very good. However he is a total narcissist and he is absolute cringe on ITV for me.

    He blocks anyone who says anything negative about him.

    You just know the clown is sat at his laptop with his own name in a Twitter search.

    He does go way too far sometimes. Getting jocked off Dancing on Ice after one week should have been a wakeup call for him to dial it down a bit.
    However, I stood behind him at the Open meeting last November for a number of races and he always obliged when people came up looking for selfies.

    People give out about Mick Fitz and Tony McCoy being too bland and never saying anything insightful, can't have it every way. Yeah he can be OTT but there is no denying his enthusiasm and has a decent knowledge as well, more power to him I say.
