Sky Sports is shit. Their presenters actually now spend time in front of a screen to show viewers what pricks are saying on social media about the day’s sporting news. People don’t pay for a subscription to see some twat of a Crystal Palace fan on twitter spouting bollocks. But that’s what Sky Sports is giving people these days…
The only good thing on Sky Sports is Natalie Sawyer. A cracking pair of tits!

Not just Sky sports. For chrissakes, how many pundits does it need to do an “autopsy” on a match or event or babble on about each and every moment of the performance?
When I do watch a match or race (which is rarely these days), I want to see the action and the highlights, not a bunch of overpaid mindless gobshites prattling on about inconsequential trivia.

Absolutely right. The BBC with cunts like Robbie Savage, Garth Crooks, and ‘Fuck Off Phil’ Neville plus many others… I remember the days when there was just one commentator: in the days of Barry Davies, John Motson, Brian Moore and a pre Sky/Knacker’s Yard Martin Tyler. There was occasional input from Jimmy Hill , but that was it. Ever since Andy Gray in Sky’s early days we have been swamped by pundits and they seem to think they have to talk or put a word in every second of the entire 90 minutes. Some in the studio pundits were quite good (Hansen on the BBC. Souness on Sky Sports). But for every one of them there are countless Redknapps, Savages, Shearers and Keowns.
In this clip (from 1975) Cloughie predicts the age of the pointless pundit:

I miss Cloughie. The legend in his own mind, who actually became a legend. He made one of the best comments ever. ‘I wouldn’t say I’m the best manager in the world, but I am in the top one’.
