Whilst you're right about Ally McCoist and Andy Townsend, I actually think that Robbie Earle is a pretty decent pundit for the Premiership. Far better than the other two anyway.

I reckon they're all muppets on ITV.

BBC are a lot better, especially when Ian Wright/Schmikes/Hanson are squabbling (FA Cup Semi) but Mark Lawrenson, well, the less said about him the better....

MOTD returns next season, hurrah! it's been gone far too long...

Indeed, but it looks like they have realised their mistake in losing MOTD. That show must be the jewel in the crown between Television Broadcasters simply because of the amount of viewers it's guranteed week in week out and it must have been a big kick in the teeth for the BBC to lose it to the ITV after so many years.

I think the BBC has lost the plot. Schmeichel can hardly put a sentance together and i just find the whole programme boring. Especially thier commentary line ups. Just a complete borefest.

At least ITV is good for a few laughs.

Agreed. If Big Ron was still doing the Premiership week in week out alongside Robbie Earle the Premiership would be top stuff.

BBC should sign the ITV guy that makes good comments throughout the game, but when it comes to a goal, he says nothing. then...

IT'S LUYDOVIC GIULY!

Yeh I agree, he was commentating on the Newcastle v Marseille game earlier today and is a decent commentator.

I'd imagine there might be some changes to MOTD when it comes around next year. The likes of John Motson & Barry Davies seem to be going senile.

I prefer the way The Premiership is set up, with a better studio, and U2 at the beginning. But they need some new analysts and they need to get rid of the adverts.
