Sky Coverage

[Stretch]

A lot of justified praise was heaped our way, especially at half time but I did have to laugh at Kelly what's er face's impression of a TV presenter, bloody awful. Prutton is fucking knob as well, apparently Leon Clarke has had a 'thoroughly successful season'?! Now don't get me wrong lads & lasses he has been fantastic since he returned and in a few matches prior to his extended lay off. I happen to rate the guy BUT I am fairly sure that even Leon himself would say overall he has had a frustrating season due to injuries and only now is it truly paying dividends?

Do your homework ffs! All he had to do was look at the number of games played.

Serious question...

I forgot to record it. Does anybody have a way to email me a copy of it?

They normally replay them during the daytime or early hours, search for it and it should be there.

She's worse on the radio. Radio 5 phone-ins used to be the dogs bollocks, back in the day. These days I find the combination of herself and Savage literally unlistenable. Even David bastard Mellor was better.

Absolutely spot on, although you missed out her sidekick Wrighty, who seems incapable of completing a sentence without a "know what I mean".

Prutton did praise how well Clarke has been leading the line all season at half time, so they were clearly well-prepped to cover the game.

I heard him say that. I was amazed he was so uninformed about us.

I thought Prutton started to say it, realised it wasn't right but on his feet couldn't think of a way of getting around it.

Pruttonn is actually a top bloke. Met him at a wedding when he was at the pigs and we looked to be going up under Wilson. I wanted to really dislike the guy....but couldn't.
Talked very well, articulate and intelligent. Must be his private school upbringing at Hymers.

Didn't realise he was a Hymers boy.

I watched the coverage when I got home, I thought Prutton was pretty good apart from the point about Leon.

Went to the game, thought we were good first half and just coasted in the second half. To be fair it's all we had to do. Tufty for sure is pushing for 100 points, looking forward to MK, albeit (initially) sat on my hands....
Haven't got sky so can't watch the coverage back, what was the feedback from the commentators and pundits?? UTB

Sky coverage was good and the comments were very positive

Dalgleash's daughter was presenting as was just as bad as she was before being fired by Channel 5

Now let me explain. In the age of inclusiveness we have to get used to the idea of women commentating on football matches. Either a woman or someone from the disabled or LGBT communities. Nothing wrong with that either before you all dive in. But the crux of the matter is that when she is useless and only gets the gig due to a bit of nepotism from daddy, then that's when the whole PC bit goes to shit and loses credibility.

She's not a bad looking bird though and always looks chirpy, unlike pops who always looks like someone just shot his dog.

It's the sky sports news philosophy..
Don't care about anybody's journalistic background as long as they look pretty and can read an autocue

 

[Northyorksblade]

All I heard were Barcelona, Real Madrid and the Blades in the same sentence and that was good enough for me

I am so glad I recorded the game, can't wait to watch it when we get home!

What more do you need for sports news though? It's not like it's Newsnight. Would you prefer Alan Biggs?

True... I was just going on some people saying Kelly Dalglish wasn't very good at presenting

She has zero inflection (hence me suggesting earlier that she's even worse on the radio, where inflection is, well, pretty damn important).

No idea if she can kick a football, but she's certainly inherited the Dalglish monotone.

I find the way he talks over co-presenters very Jon Pearson like personally. Amazing what did personas people have in work to personal life though at times
