Peter Drury replaces Martin Tyler on Sky Sports

This from a Celtic fan on a general football forum:

"Surprised no-one on here has mentioned it yet, given the "general attitude" shall we say, towards Liverpool on this message board, but did anyone else find Sky Sports' (and particularly Martin Tyler's) coverage of the game yesterday to be an an absolute joke?
He must have mentioned the "strange" atmosphere about 100 times throughout the match, constantly going on about the silence, how it's usually rocking, how the players seemed relaxed, how they would have to "field serious questions about their performance" after the match. When Dzeko scored to make it 2-1, he sounded almost disappointed, or unenthusiastic at the very least! Gary Neville even said at one point "I'll be honest with you Martin, I'm bored watching this game".
I for one didn't see many disappointed faces in the crowd when Barkley scored his wonder-strike, and to question the Everton players/manager's willingness to win the game was completely unjustified as they gave it a bloody good go! I for one thought it was a really good game, with 2 teams doing their utmost to win it.
I know it's not exactly a secret that the overwhelming majority of Sky Sports pundits etc want Liverpool to win the league, but the completely biased nature of the coverage yesterday was so clear, and really rather embarrassing."

It seems the twunts at Sky know they need the armchair dippers to replace the armchair rags.

In a nutshell.
 
At half time he said something along the lines of "I don't think anyone will be too disappointed about that half, other than the neutrals."

Really? A team goes 1-0 behind and scores 2 goals to take the lead and that isn't an exciting 45 minutes? I think he meant to say 'other than Liverpool fans'.
 
I don't think we had Tyler on my commentary. We did at one point think about doing a drinking game when you had to take a sip every time he mentioned Liverpool. Would've been wrecked by the end of the first half. Bonus shot every time he mentioned the fact that Lukaka and Kompany were both from Belgium.

Sky and the media seemed determined to convince us that every neutral in the country is praying for Liverpool to win the league.
Nothing could be further from the truth. A quick browse of other teams forums will tell you that Liverpool winning the league is most peoples worst fucking nightmare.

If dippers lose tomorrow can we win it on Wednesday??

Nope. Chelsea would need to drop points too today. Besides, even if both happened, Liverpool are going to score 12 against Newcastle.

It shows how far removed from the football community they are, the reality is that most fans dread Liverpool winning the league because it will unleash a whole mawkish carnival of flowery prose, songs you name it will be subjected to it for years, I have not met one neutral who wants them to win it for that very reason
 
Hate him with a passion. Tosser of the highest order and the sooner he pisses off the sooner I can watch footie again with sound.
