Speaking of ITV Sport, I noticed that they are getting rid of Andy Townsend. HALLEFUCKINGLUJAH please log in to view this image
He should be ok, he's an intelligent and articulate fella. He might moan about players passing the ball, when they had an minute chance of scoring themselves though.
I've just got in from work having had a **** day arguing with a bunch of utter, utter ****s who a) don't know they are born and b) don't know their arses from their elbows. This news has made a thoroughly pissed off man very happy. Pint glass in hand. Slippers on. Townsend gone.
What time do we kick off that day? I know we're in London so it's not a big trek, just seems tight to be at our game and then getting the others watched before the show. He could just do selected highlights, but then what's the point of him being there as the expert pundit if he's just watching what others have prepared anyway.
To be fair the entire ITV team is going to be pretty redundant, they're losing their rights to pretty much everything.....thank christ
The only thing they'll have from next season are England games. Wouldn't be surprised if BBC tried to get them back too now they've lost the Football League rights.
