Those Damn Pundits

Sometimes I wish Sky just got their way and won the rights to show international matches. Not because I’m Mr Murdoch’s number one fan or a sky fanatic, far from it.

It’s purely because I can’t stand the pundits from both the terrestrial channels!
Clive ‘one liner’ Tyldesley and Andy ‘mockney’ Townsend are enough to put anyone off football. Adrian Chilles' infamous rise from the ‘One Show’ to ITV sport anchorman may prove to be their saving grace. Bring back Des Lynam I Say

The BBC is a slight improvement as they have managed to get everyone’s favourite cheeky chappy Harry Redknapp as well as the godfather of football ‘Woy’ Hodgeson. Who between them should be able to give us a more tactical insight, instead of the old clichéd dross that we’ve become more accustomed to.

Now getting back to the Sky team. Could you imagine Jeff Stelling and the boys let loose in South Africa? It would be instant TV gold. Chris ‘Cabanga’ Kamara jumping up and down with the fans screaming 'Italy are defending like beavers'! While Back in the studio Jeff Stelling is doing his Hartlepool UTD victory dance to the tube of 'I feel good' by James Brown. Then after all the excitement is over Georgie ‘smokey voice’ Thompson steps up to do the post match interview in her lowest cut top. Ahhh We can only dream.

But hey ho, it’s the football that does the talking right? So I will do what most do and go down the pub! or put the TV on mute and switch on the radio. Give me 5live or talk sport commentary any day!



Georgie Thompson shows us why she would have the players queing up for a post match interview!
