Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

It's the cult of personality with many of those operating on the peripherals of the game - refs included. Listen to Tyler and see how many time he brings himself into every little anecdote: "I was talking to Jose Mourinho the other night...", or 'Myself and Mike Riley were having a chat recently...", or "I was playing squash with Pep Guardiola recently...". He's trying to make out he's a part of the cliquè, on first-name terms with the biggest in the game.
Hardly the most dignified way for a man of his years to behave.

It's as if they seriously believe we tune in to hear what Jonathan Pearce has had for breakfast, or what colour socks Tyler was wearing last Tuesday morning.

I prefer the one where he says "me and Gary Neville were tromboning each other the other night.....".
 
Just posted this in the Colin Bell thread but Tyler deserves some credit tonight for his words on Bell and our side at that time. You can listen via this link at the top of the page.

He says Bell would be the most expensive player in the world today, based on ability.

He started a story about Walcott as a child being a ballboy and would not give over until he had finished it, even though there was actual football ongoing in a penalty area that nearly saw a goal. Shut up you silly old ****. Hes like an old woman at the bus stop.

I don’t think the clown has realised that Alan Partridge is a parody, as he is increasingly turning into him “striker”.
