Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

[Segga]

You could hear him twitching yesterday ready to explode when the ball was bouncing about in our area near the end.

Trouble is BT would get it and the pundits they use are as bad if not worse !!! For us it’s a loose loose situation

Maybe but rumours also that Netflix and Amazon looking into sports coverage. They would definitely be less parochial.

I can see the end of match punditry when streaming site get PL rights. Show the international match feed and that's it. To be fair watching some games with English international commentary it's struck me how matter of fact the commentary is over sensationalism.

Sky/BT promote the PL like it's WWE.

A couple of times I did a double take at stuff he said.

"They're singing 'Come on City'....they used to sing this before they had money, and they still sing it now", something like that....just completely mundane, air filling soundbites.

Why can't there be an option to turn commentary off and just have the crowd sound?

I never watch pre or post match analysis, even if we are sublime. No point. Just wish we could have no commentators just crowd during the match...

Remember a few years ago, in the days of fan zone. There was the option of having just the crowd noise, should have that back.

Agreed. Makes the games more enjoyable to watch.

Yeah i heard that.unnecessary.
Tyler used to be a great commentator at Granada i think back in the day...then he switched to employers with big money....and changed so much,its like chalk and cheese. Full of disparaging remarks.

That said he’s morphed into a nob. He was great on gazetta. Massive decline
