Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

We used to have people like Barry Davies, John Motson (before his senility), even Brian Moore, but now we have that bloody awful Jonathan Pearce with his screaming, adrenaline-laden, soprano voice because some team has made a substitution (“Oh my god! I’ve never seen anything like it in my life...a substitute is coming on the pitch...absolutely extraordinary!).

Like that fella who did that commentary for Palace v Spurs.
Makes a five yard square pass seem like Jesus Christ has just popped round for tea and scones
 
He was more annoying than usual yesterday :

On United - FERNANDES good effort on target
- Close by Maguire (not even on target)
- Fernandes is player of month for third time
- Good response by United , Ole has beat Pep 3 times etc etc

On city - to many negatives to mention
- Sluggish , passing slow , this is not a Pep way of playing , not scoring enough goals , Foden not on , Foden not starting, missing David Silva, tactical foul by Fernandinho.

No impartiality at all. It’s like a Bingo card how many negatives can I get into the commentary.

And then there is Tyler. A man who wouldn’t know the meaning of impartiality if it burrowed its way into what’s left of his brain, set up home there, and invited all its friends and family around for a barbecue. His obsequious grovelling to all things rag is truly nauseating: has been for the best part of thirty years, too. He makes no attempt to hide his fawning sycophancy when commentating on them, and even when he’s watching a game that doesn’t involve the rags he shoehorns them in somehow or other. I’ll bet at dinner parties the other guests get sick and tired of him going on about them (“Tyler, you biased fucker! Mention them once more and I will set light to that mess you call a face.”) The prick is going to end his days in a straight jacket, in a padded cell, dribbling, and muttering under his rancid breath the names of every ex-rag who has played a prominent role in his bukkake fantasies.

Thing is the commentators back in the day let the football do the talking and would only talk when they absolutely needed to. Barry Davies was brilliant at that.

Now there's an incessant need to constantly talk constantly for 90 minutes and just bombard you with drivel and useless facts
 
The Big match replayed on a Saturday morning shows of how it used to be and how should still be but waffle leads the way nowadays the anti city agenda set by those two yesterday was nothing short of a disgrace the whole reason Sky took away the option of no commentary was to get their rhetoric across.
