Old Sky or New Sky?

We all hate certain things about Sky's football coverage but did you prefer how it used to be?

Old Sky:

Martin Tyler and Andy Grey on commentary, both distraught when United scored, Keys and Souness in the studio (Souness blaming every ill in the world on United). Jamie Redknapp later on and it was like one big boys club. Deadline Day when #@&%!s were being waved about as a poor presenter tried to say something. Geoff Stelling in his pomp. Phil Thompson blathering like he'd had Alzheimers and none of the panel knowing anything about world or European football.

New Sky:

Drury (only just though), on commentary, Izzy Christiansen on commentary (remember her doing a United game, it was £#%&!ing terrible), other commentators who you dont know because they're so bland, Neville and Carragher with their own very obvious agendas, women everywhere just so Sky can get their quota in and a variety of dopey ex footballers in the studio saying nothing intelligent. That #@&%! Kaveh guessing at transfers and takeovers and still managing to get everything wrong. And let's not forget Dermot Gallagher now has his own spot telling us all how every bent decision against United was bang on.

Or, have you always hated Sky and still do?

we’re shit now so of course preferred the old days

I’ve never really been a fan of Sky’s coverage. Enjoyed Soccer Saturday at times, but haven’t watched it since Stelling left. Drury does my head in as much as Keys and Gray used to.

Weirdly, I’ve found myself loving the Amazon Prime coverage of games when they’ve had them.

£#%&! Sky.

I didn’t really notice anti-United bias from Tyler and Gray…maybe because they coincided with us being dominant so it didn’t register.

I miss Gray’s commentary tbh, proper nostalgic for me.

It wasn't really a bias, just the palpable sound of disappointment when we scored. Give me Tyler and Grey over the £#%&! we have today with Neville/Carragher though.

Pretty sure there’s loads of scousers who think Tyler had a pro-United thing going on.

They think Michael Oliver has a United thing going on

My point is that I don’t actually think Tyler was particularly anti-United. I think he sounded miserable a lot of the time and people confuse that with being prejudiced against their team.

An obvious example of him seeming to genuinely buzz off one of our goals -

I never had a problem with him tbh. Drury makes me actually miss him.
