World Cup Nonsense

[Seafront Plodder]

Am I the only person who thinks that the quality of presenting and commentating by both channels, especially the Beeb has been awful?

John Motson should have been put out to pasture yrs ago - he is just rubbish and I'm fed up with the Beeb treating him as a legend.

Gary Lineker is just a smug tosser and spends his time pallying up with Hansen and his golf buddies. Ian Wright is at least a proud englishman but talks a load of rubbish. Shearer is just dull - Can't the Beeb find some decent English summarisers - Hansen (so repetitive), Strachan (bit better) & O'Neill (has he got alzheimers?) are all Celts and Leonardo is some sort of quasi David Ginola replacement who the rest of them spend their whole time sucking up to like a bunch of sycophantic schoolchildren. (Aren't Brazil so wonderful?)

Adrian Chiles is the best presenter they have.

And as for ITV they are full of Welsh and (pseudo) Irish but we don't have to listen to them so much as they 'go to a break' at every possible moment. At keast they had Pearce, Venables and Allardyce - all Englishmen for the Sweden game

Finally can someone tell me why leSaux got kicked off Beeb just before World Cup - who did he upset?



p.s. Funny comment I read somewhere (was it here?) Isn't Mick McCarthy the most northern man in the world?
