Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

No wonder neville wears a mask...he stinks of piss

Do his employers actually listen to him?
He's employed as a commentator and is supposed to be informing us which player has the ball, but all he's doing is rambling on about anything but

I turned the sound off..... again

My mother is 84 and nearly blind. She has mentioned to me a few times how she has no idea what is actually happening during the game when he is commentating

I just think he’s getting too old.

Commentary in general is in a bad way. The last truly great commentator I can remember is Barry Davies.

Hugh Johns was quality although only usually employed for Midlands teams. He always praised City.

I think he needs to retire or be retired.

No chance of that happening. Still riding the Gravy Train

Just watched that. So refreshing to hear a calm voice describing the play without the need to quote a billion stats at the audience.

I have to say that I hadn’t heard of him, as he was before my time, but he’s clear, concise and energised perfectly to match what is going on in the game.

Its also great not to hear some ex pro with the IQ of a kumquat saying “Totally Johnsy”.

Absolutely.
The plot-loss is in evidence repeatedly.
“We need mud” was one of his on-air lines tonight, met with many seconds of silence/bafflement from Neville, who clearly had no idea how to respond.
His comment about Ferna being brought on to commit fouls in midfield was also beyond the pale. As was his constant first half references to the cost of our players.
City, report him, complain to his employers.
(They own shares in our club too don’t they?!)

Hugh Johns is totally forgotten in the annals of history as the commentator for ITV in the 1966 World Cup Final because Kenneth Wolstenholme is revered because of what he uttered in the 120th minute on the BBC

Disgraceful comment from Tyler when Fernandinho came on, embarrassed himself

When he said "this will be the only time Foden and Kalvin Phillips will be on the same pitch this coming week" it just summed up the horrible bitter prick perfectly. Old, past it, and says things he shouldn't out of spite. No need for it. He needs to retire.
