Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

AFC Sudbury played Colchester United in the FA Cup last season and it was live on the BBC. Can’t remember who the commentators were, obviously not Tyler, but their favouring of the non league side was borderline hysteria. They were screaming with excitable anticipation whenever they got over the half way line and their reaction to the Colchester goals were spoken in the same tone as a vicar at a funeral.

I don’t imagine for a minute they were huge Sudbury fans. Or hated Colchester. They were just doing what they thought their jobs were that day.

I think this is relevant to a lot of people’s perception of commentators who “hate” City. The fact is, City battering Bournemouth 4-0 is a non story. Whereas Palace or Wolves winning at The Etihad is a major event.

So what happens when we play Liverpool or United or Spurs, for that matter - are they/is he, "just doing their job"?

I just think Tyler is very quiet when the away team scores in general. When you think where most commentary seats are, right in the middle of the home fans, you can see why.
