ITV upgrade!

[Cicada]

Not happy about this at all.

ITV4 give us 45 mins of build up and we get to hear Peter Drury (who actually likes us).

ITV will give us 15 mins max of build up and if I have to listen to the Scouse loving twat Tyldesley I'll go fucking apeshit.

I couldn't care less about the tight twats who haven't got ITV4. I have and that's all that matters.

ITV1 sucks bolllocks.

+ rep for that

itv1 is for fucktards anyway

I was going to say something like that this morning but
didn't want to upset someone.

Its like The Sun on a goggle box.

i hate itv coverage of sport.

so other than its better than not being on tv thats all i have to say...

 

[DC_Boy]

well it's all about opinions - for me the ITV4 UEFA Cup coverage has been the best coverage we've ever had - at least since the days of the Big Match (also ITV) and 60s Match of the Day

I think Sky's coverage is anti-Spurs rubbish - the Beeb are better but not as pro-Spurs as ITV - be it 1 or 4

Maybe there was a period in early Sky history when they were nice to us - but in my despair and disgust of the last decade or so I've airbrushed that out - if it ever existed

just watch ITV's and Sky's coverage of last Sunday's final - on Sky you get the same ole big 4 big 4 - 'spurs haven't beaten Chelsea for 100 years' and nonsense like - 'this is Spurs only realistic chance of Europe' (hello we are in the UEFA - oh sorry Sky don't recognise that - just like they kept telling people City were unbeaten at home for about a month after we'd beaten them there)

then on ITV the way Drury describes Berbs pen - '90,000 people, are you sure'

That's brilliant news. My satellite dish has been blown of the wall!!

I thought you may enjoy this. Zangeef (sp?) is the shit.

Oh yeah, to keep this on topic. I seriously can't stand ITV anything...or is that ITK. :shrug:

 

[al_pacino]

Will there be no ITV4 preview then a switch to ITV1?

 

[coldasice199]

It was Peter Drury who did the the semi vs Ar5ena1 and the cup final. He's brilliant.

Thats the one, He's very good. I'm a fan of most on radio London as well. There so bias towards spurs its brilliant

Hello fellow Eastbourne Yid!!! :grin:

Hey dude, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Here for uni from London. Which pubs do you frequent for matches when your not at the games?

 

[fieryjack]

Probably cos we are playing Philips Sport Vereniging.

Always wondered what that stood for, thanks:up:

Secretly you knew it wasn`t going to be anything snappy.

Just checked... and it appears not!

 

[al_pacino]

Just checked... and it appears not!

Shame, they give the match the attention it deserves. Even for the champions league the itv 1 coverage is shocking.

-Talk for 30 seconds then adverts
-Watch the players walk out then adverts

And then about 1 minute talking over the chances at half-time, it's not worth them having someone hosting it.

At least that tosser Atkinson does not work there anymore.

I liked him before he went racist.

Couldn't agree more DC. I hate sky, really hate them, if they could have the big four only they would, the rest of us are irrelevant to them, I hope and pray that in the future contracts for coverage are split and sky get less of the pie. They also have a complete love in with the goons.

 

[Cicada]

i'm sure Drury is a yiddo, and having pleat in there doesn't hurt..ITV1 coverage is always crap though, cause they have to get their adverts as well as Emmerdale and Corrie in there...


much prefer us on ITV4....it's not as if everyone doesn't have freeview now anyway

 

[nightgoat]

I can't believe how many people are bigging up Drury, he's probably the shittest commentator ever... He must sit there with his Big Book of Six Big Words to Use When One Small One Would Suffice...

he's not great, but at least he's not sky biased...

i remember him doing the race a couple of years back. hearing him talk for 25 fucking minutes constantly about nothing was kinda irritating i'll admit

So did i.

Was this before or after he was West Brom Manager?

 

[nicdic]

Do they just have the home games?
