ITV Deal for FA Cup and England Home Internationals

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! - BBC is bad enough with bloody Shearer and Lawrenson but Andy Townsend!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOO!! I can only get the BBC on my cable!

Plus the adverts in the build-up, half-time talk etc.

The bright side....... no Ian Wright and that bloke who used to play for spuds who sounds like the biggest condescending git you have ever met. I am sure the players want to just smack him in the mouth... what's his name Cooks or something ?

You talking about Garth Crooks? The man who tries to portray himself as the thinking mans football pundit!

Thats the fella ! What a prat ! (Him not me !)

I didnt mind him when he first started - but hes turned into a complete w**ker

He is the football pundit equivalent of Denzel Washington - both try to find a race angle even when there clearly isn't one

this is not good news.

Hasnt Pleat got some history of a dodgy nature?

(apart from being an annoying twat that is)

He was done for kerb crawling - I think he actually has a record for it rather than it just being a rumour.

That and he likes Spurs

Clear which is worse.

this is not good news.

What the heck is that Kanootey person doing there. Gerrard should play there.

I can't stand David "I almost signed him when I was at Luton" Pleat.

Expect to hear comments such as.....''Join us after the break,'' Now lets go pitch side and hear from 2 w**kers,''

''Teams are ready , kick off seconds away , join us after the break '' ''First half analysis coming up , After the break ''

''Commentry comes from Clive Tyldsley [ Again ] '' ''Robbie [ Mr Bland] Earle gives his views after the break ''

Although football selling out to Sky is bad... they have officially sold their soul now.

- I think he actually has a record for it rather than it just being a rumour.

That and he likes Spurs

Clear which is worse.

He was fined twice while he was managing Luton town, the rumour was that he could spot a pro- anywhere.

ITV IS THE WORST STATION FOR FOOTBALL COVERAGE...channel five and bravo outdo them! I can't believe it...also how thick are setanta...do they really think that we are going to pay for another satellite package to watch the likes of England?
