Am I the only one here who thinks their coverage is completely crape? For a start their pundits are shocking. I mean Robbie Earle wouldn't know Champions League if it bit him in the arse. Andy Townsend is the best one despite still being a poor pundit. Finally, David Pleat is the biggest waste of commentating space ever. He talks about aload of crap that is irrelevant and tries to make jokes that aren't funny or he says the most obvious things. Personally I think ITV should leave football to BBC and Sky Sports.

David Pleat is an absolute idiot. The only good ITV Commentator is the main one that does the Champions League Finals and evrything.

ITV are so crape at football, especially the main presenter guy whose name escapes me (Annoying guy who also does F1??). BBC are great, they have the best Commentator by far in John Motson (and Jonathan Pearce for that matter), best pundits (Lineker, Shearer, Dixon etc) and even Gordon Strachan is quite hilarious (especially when he couldn't stop laughing one time and he was literally choking lol). To put the icing on the cake Alan Hansen is so annoying that he's gold. Oh, and MARCEL DESAILLY is the greatest pundit of the lot. lol. |

ITV is shocking.
BBC is good except from Motson, he is horrendous he can't pronounce any name which isn't British.

I also hate Pleat, one classic moment was this:
Tyldsley: Utd last beat Anderlecht blah, blah, blah
Pleat: Ahh yes I remember that game
Tyldsley: Err.. it was in 1903.

You've got bloody senile Motson who should be in an old people's, that gay Lawrenson trying with his crap one liners. Hansen's the best pundit I think, usually agree with him until his slight Liverpool bias creeps in. But then there's Alan 'I'll just echo what Alan's (Hansen) saying' Shearer who doesn't have any opinions of his own. Oh anf Linekar who's links are cringeworthy at times. ITV's not much better though. Clive Tyldsley's decent and Jim Beglin's seemed alright. And you have to laugh at some of things Pleat comes out with no matter how bad he is. Sky's easily the best. |

Yet you think BBC coverage is 'great'...
If anyone has Setanta I think you'll agree with me that it's the worst.

The BBC's coverage was awful last night.
They cut to the crowd, you see Zidane sitting next to Wenger but Motson only mentions Wenger. Stupid thing to get annoyed about maybe, but add that to the way he pronounced the names of half of the Spanish team and it quickly becomes a pain in the arse.
At least that prat Garth Crooks hasn't been on so much though. Do they feel the need to employ him just because he's black?

It's pronnounced Di Natarlie but he kept on saying Di Natalie. |

i do indeed hate itv's coverage. at half time i'll go and do something else so i dont have to watch their half time bit. whereas with BBC i enjoy their banter at half time,a couple of times its been more entertaining than the football, mainly thanks to martin o'neil. as for the commentators i think both channels are pretty annoying. Mark lawrenson is growing on me just as he is so awful.I prefer him when hes not with motson(as motson laughs at all his jokes).its much funnier when hes with someone else and his jokes are just followed with silence and a quick change of subject

David Pleat is honestly the worst comentator I have ever come across, he seems unable to pronounce any foreign name correctly and his attempted jokes are just terrible  BBC 1 isn't much better but atleast they have Martin O'Neill and Marcel Desailly ;D |
