Hilarious that Sky are pitching this like a big transfer. He already works for Comcast.

He'll just be doing a few extra late Sunday games and lets Sky Sports and NBC streamline production even more than they currently do.

So this means for the first time US and UK viewers will be catered for by an identical commentary feed?

Collymoron at it again in the People. 'It is hard to admire City feat', left him cold etc.
This is another grade a tosser to add on a par with Delaney, Harris and the likes.
As hateful as they come

He's got that strange Villa bitterness.

That I'm not sure about. I suspect they'll be issues with Neville and Carragher and a few of the other pundits depending on if their contracts were pre- acquisition.

It's also still fairly compartmentalized at Comcast, so it will be interesting to see how it's going to work.

As an aside to this, check out Premier League Productions content. They make some great stuff, especially if you can get hold of the US based content. It filters through Sky Sports and NBC, as they have a licensing agreement with Comcast.

Interestingly, they're part owned by Silver Lake, so some of the stuff that focuses on City is brilliant.

We live in hope. However, like the rest of them, he will do as he is told and follow the script. They all do.

True, but right now they need him more than he needs them, going off him only doing 1 game a week, clever really as the rights are up for renewal in the not to distant future and he’s got his feet in a few camps

It can be very cold when you are hiding behind trees at remote forest car parks.

Peter Drury will be commentator for Sky from next season.

I'm hoping that he doesn't lower his standards just to fit in.

It's like asking Sam Allardyce about Pepe Pepeson

Not sure it was shithousery. I'd be surprised if Pep knew who the fucker was.
