Can't say I find him too posh though, yeah he is slightly better spoken than Chiles, but I don't think makes him posh. I also think he has more confidence than Chiles in what he is talking about, and as such can put his points across in a more intelligent, balanced and passionate way. I generally prefer the BBC coverage for that reason.

I guess it all comes down to preference really. I don`t think being an ex professional footballer necessarily makes you an expert though.
