In the battle of the television networks I think that it has to be 1-0 to I.T.V in terms of footy coverage.

They have a team consisting of Des, Gaby, Gazza, McCoist, Jimmy Floyd, Venables, Townsend.

The B.B.C have stuck with the 'grumpy old men' team.

Hansen, Lawrenson, O'Leary, O'Neil.

Like the Arsenal back four, I think it is time for a change.

Sky are no.1!
It's just a shame that they're not covering the World Cup live.

But in the BBC vs. ITV argument, I have to say that I prefer the BBc better.
So what if ITV showed the England match yesterday, and so what if they've got Des Lynam and co. compared to Liniker and friends.
To me, it's all down to commentary, as I don't watch the analysis unless it's Sky.

With people like Barry Davies and John Motson, there's no other serious contenders except Tyler and Gray!

Look at the FIFA game, it's Motson and Gray in them!
Where are Tyldsley and co.!???

That wasn't a very clever move.

Some of us don't have ITV2.

They could've put the England match hype on ITV2 and the match on ITV but then we'd have people complaining about that.

Bah!

Yes, that was rather annoying.

Surely they could have sorted it so the BBC showed the Paraguay game as watching highlights is just not the same as watching it live...

Did anyone see Ian Wright arguing with Alan (percentages) Hansen?

Wright let fly and said he was fed up with his negative attitude.

I thought we were gonna get fisticuffs.

My money would have been on the younger, fitter Mr wright.

BBC have much better pundits, for a start when Gazza speaks you cannot understand him, he mutters most of the time.And the emphasis that they focus on him, today Gazza we are 're-unioning you with two former bosses, Bobby Robson and Terry Venables' BIG DEAL!

BBC have Mark Lawenson and Alan Hansen need i say more?
