I wonder do BT actually test these pundits out or literally just hire them on name value?? If there were auditions whoever hired them needs to be sacked. If they didn't have auditions then now is the time to have them....

Why not? Love them or hate them Man Utd are one of the biggest clubs in the world with a proud history. They are also one of the biggest examples of commercialised football. They are at once everything that is good and everything that is bad about the modern game. I thought the bit where Humphreys walked past the busy shirt printing concession stand and then stood by the statue of the holy trinity whilst noting that he was in the gaze of Matt Busby was fantastic. And I really don't believe any of the other main presenters have the child like misty eyed awe of what's happening around them to have pulled it off. Honestly, for me football is still the magical experience it was when I first went to a match and for me, those few moments were magical. I don't think I really care too much if they can't tell me what I've just watched, because I know that already, I've just sat through it. But if you can find a way to come close to giving me the feeling you get when you walk up the stairs and get your first glimpse of the pitch and then the stadium opens up in front of you but on my telly then as far as I'm concerned you're on a winner.
