    So more than 3 out of 4 viewers chose to watch the final without Andy Townsend's insightful comments.

    Jesus. ITV need to shame themselves up after a thrashing like that. The BBC are clever, they get ex-pros in who are utterly polished. Lawro and Ferdinand aside, let's not mention the final score clowns either.

    ITV feels a like a jobs for the boys type of affair to me.

    In a way it was like asking if you'd rather be stabbed or drowned.

    How the fluck do the BBC select lawrenson ffs. He is an absolute bell end of the highest order. He gets the England games. He played for Republic of Ireland. I despise him

    It was Alan Hansen's. I would imagine Lawro believes he has to keep us all entertained for some years yet

    Football got by without pundits for many a long year but had some very good commentators. Queen of them all came with Sky in the form of Andy Grey. Who needs them.

    its the adverts to be fair, absolutely hate them during big games and it ruins the whole atmosphere of the living room.

    BBC would have got all of the viewers if they didn't have f**ing Lawrenson, I hate him more than anybody else on the television and I'm convinced he'll be exposed in Operation Yewtree soon enough the scruffy little toilet brush looking mother f**er. Always coming out with crap like "Look at his nose" and "Look how dirty his top is".

    I actually didn't mind Danny Murphy's commentary during the WC - showed some good technical insight, and his enthusiasm was above suicidal.

    Have to agree with this, to be honest. The pundits are unimportant but adverts, hate them. We never watch commercial television at all unless it is pre-recorded and the adverts fast forwarded.

    I actually thought he was ****e, whatever happened he'd already done it.
    If you had a blue ****, he'd have had one before you.
