if clinton morrison gets the gig, we will need subtitles, init

I used to do subtitles for Sky, trust me most subtitlers can barely subtitle a coherent sentence accurately, never mind some of the bumbling half-sentences that the Sky pundits put together.

You need a mix of knowledge and humour, Kamara and Stelling are brilliant, football lads relate to that.

Let hope they don't put 4 robots on there to justify quotas.

Merse is funny but he’s no expert

Thommo can fuck off into the Mersey 

Le Tiss is decent. 

Champagne needs get rid of that earring

MOTD for years had Hansen, Lineker and Lawrenson, analysing PL football. Even when none of them had ever played in the prem.

They needed to go, they did right by getting in Shearer, Wright and Murphy, younger players who have played the modern game.

Sky sports have it ok now with carra Neville Keane.

If they’re gonna freshen it up then it needed to be modern top level ex pros bollocks to their race or gender

Stelling is a great anchorman and does that role really well imo.

Merse hasn't got a clue what he's saying but it does make good TV.

All the ones that have got sacked, yes had good chemistry together, but Nicholas never said anything of value, Thompson was just average and was the "scouse opinion", Tiss was measured and decent but not charismatic or special in any way.

Alex Scott is really good pundit and I get the point that she doesn't have the true experience of Men's top tier football but I don't think that should hold her back, seen as most of the pundits that do have experience can't express their ideas with any cogency.

Some of the best football opinions and articles I've seen are on that Tifo Football Youtube channel/The Athletic website who are just writers and normal people interested in football. 

Glad they're shaking it up a bit. They need to keep that banter element though, otherwise it just turns into Football Focus.

Presume you mean stelling?

Does nowt for me

Makes it worth watching for me

The other show i like is the CL goals show on BT sports, particularly when there's several games on, presented by James Richardson and his foreign counterparts, all journos, not a footballer in sight, can't say i care whether they've played or not, just need to talk a good game

I prefer the CL goals show to actually watching just one of the games they’re covering.

Presenters are professional presenters, not bothered what background they have 

Pundits need to have played at the level they are giving punditry on, for me anyway. You may have the best pundit in the world, but if his Background is playing for Wycombe he won’t have the gravitas required to be a solid pundit on the Champions League final. That’s why I’m not a fan of that Black girl who’s always on BBC, don’t have a fucking clue who she is or what she has done 

Clearly discrimination going on at the BBC and now Sky, all discrimination is abhorrent even if it’s ‘positive’

Why are so many people shitting themselves with rage at the meer thought of Sky Sports employing a black presenter? It's really fucking odd. Have Sky even announced any replacements yet? 

Especially when most of those very same people claim "We don't have a racism problem in the UK"...

Perhaps it’s because clearing some white middle age folk out and swapping them with Black people, right at the time you’ve got BLM telling white people in this country that they don’t know their born, would seem like too much of a coincidence 

I thought BLM was all about not having any discrimination based on race, this move (if indeed they are replaced by black people) would be a clear sign of discrimination 

Black people make up about 5% of the country, BLM et al bang on about parity all the time. With 3 pundits a week you should see 1 black pundit every 7 weeks, I wonder if it’s going to be more than that, let’s see 

Its the minority Chinese and Indians who still won’t get a look in, then again they aren’t crowing about being held back because of their skin colour. They are just getting on with out performing both whites and Blacks in every measure
