Martin Keown is very boring, just watching the Cambridge v Man Utd & he's just rambling on, even on MOTD he's the most boring pundit, he talks like he knows what he's on about but just his general dull tones.
No one seems to like any pundit. I don't really care about them, I'm happy enough so long as they're accurate, and get simple things like a players age right. Neville and Carragher can be quite insightful, but they drone on for far too long, and can spend so long explaining and re-explaining everything as if to a child it can get quite patronising, boring and tedious.
Can't believe the oafish **** was on nearly 4.5m a year, no wonder they couldn'tafford anything but pathetically ****e co commentators
I kinda saw his appointment as part of a wider British tradition of putting people into roles for which they are woefully and painfully unsuited. And incompetent at, to boot. Infact I just assumed that all football anchormen, commentators and expert summarisers where merely in place to fulfill some FIFA driven find-gainful-employment-for-tedious-twats quota system. I'm surprised to find that this isn't the case at all. Because now I have to question afresh how any of the ****ers are in a job.
It's maybe worth pointing out BT are looking for a new presenter for their Champions League coverage next season (and clearly they don't think Jake Humprehy is up to that) so maybe they went for Chiles? Gary Lineker is their original target but he turned them down last year and they recently tried signing him again - much depends on whether BBC keep the PL highlights since ITV have bid heavily for those. Hope the BBC dont lose Match of the Day though... ITV's The Premiership was awful.
In the studio, I agree. On co-commentary, Andy Gray was/is still better (another name heavily linked with BT next year). Incredibly BT asked Sky to share Neville for their CL coverage. Maybe we can ask Manchester City to share Aguero.
Delighted Chiles is off. He's developed the very annoying habit of starting a sentence, stopping, returning to the start of the sentence for a second run-through, before repeating the process at the same point that he originally failed. Give him three or four attempts, and he'd get there eventually, even though the completed sentence was stammered from start to finish, and liberally peppered with 'erms'. For a presenting job, I think you need to be able to speak.
Agreed. But the whole ITV presentation is ****ing awful. Even the ****ing colours and contrasts (reminds me of those parodies of American news on Brass Eye/ Day Today). Alarm bells must surely ring at ITV when the BBC utterly pulverises them when they're put up against each other (World Cup Final). I think, all in all, Tydesley is the biggest evil though and genuinely puts me off watching. At least you can quite easily skip the prematch , half time and post match Chiles and co.
Neville is the worst too, the other Neville that is. I'm starting to wonder if he is a hidden genius though after he said Cambridge could beat Man U because they are 'tall' and they nearly did too
