Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

[City Raider]

he didn't use tevez as an example but he notably did not name young, just as neville excused young 'because others do it' - just not every match gary

 

[Dirty Harry]

He says " Tevez (slight pause) tumbling to the ground at the merest contact".

For those that think he was making a snide dig, well my Mrs did aswell (a united fan) so you're not the only ones.

 

[Bald fraud]

He said tevez going down at the slightest touch! Words can't describe how much I hate this rag loving twat! He loves the old 'sky four' anyone notice him trying to give the commentators curse with about 3 mins to go 'well I'm sure Wigan have reached the point where they can't lose now' I hate the wanker!

 

[grim up north]

Only watched first half tonite, he was constantly trying to undermine Wigan and tried to take the piss out of them, fair play to Quinn he tried to be reasonable about the game

Keep the faith banner was lost on Tyler as well

 

[LoveCity]

An insufferable bore and a biased idiot, I used to like him but can't be doing with him anymore. I used to think Tyldesley was bad but he is great compared to these wankers on Sky despite "that night in Barcelona"...

 

[Notinmylifetime]

Did anyone catch the dig at Tevez when they were discussing diving during arse/Wigan game? He used Tevez as an example of a player who goes down at the slightest touch! Thought I must have misheard at first but a few others have confirmed it. I know sky are accused of bias but it's blatantly staggering that with an obvious choice of a great example of theatrics plying his trade not to far away that they choose Tevez as the example!!

He definately used Tevez as an example of a player going down too easily....he said it just after a challenge when an Arse player went down near the Wigan penalty area ( and it was a foul by the way ). I nearly rang Sky up there and then!

AND IT'S LIIIIVVVVVVVVEEEEE

how irritating is it when he says this or is it just me that find it highly irritating?

Not just you, I mute the sound before he says it!

Re Tyler, he was definitely reeling off trending topics and it was "Tevez - pause - diving", not "Tevez diving"

yeah, i noticed that as well..straight over his head that one.

 

[jimharri]

Sorry but you did mishear it

He was going through a list of topics trending in premier leave football and said title race , relegation battle , Tevez , Going down too easily.

It was 2 different topics

Did he? If so I apologise I was only half paying attention but that's what i caught and a fair few on twitter have interpreted it the same way

Ah well; that confirms it then!
