They have Roy Keane, plus two other morons. but whenever they get momentum talking about something half decent, he'll jump in there with cheesiest thing you could possibly and legally add to the conversation, absolutely railroading anything remotely interesting that is raised.

Chiles might be a @#%&! but you don't have to listen to him throughout the match.

Dreary makes me want to puke, he tries to inject so much false drama. There was a cup tie on a few years ago and he started going 'The tension mounts. This is it. The FA Cup. Nothing else counts. Nothing else matters. THROW IN TO TRANMERE'.

£#%&!ing dick.

chiles, i can take him or leave him.

you probably didn't have to put up with this @#%&! much.

Never knew Drury was black tbh.

have there ever been anyone decent on itv's football coverage? brian moore was alright, and as much as i want to hate tyldesley i can remember most of his commentary at the end in 1999 word-for-word. there's keane these days of course. but otherwise it's a £#%&!ing panoply of @#%&!s: chiles, townsend, beglin, southgate, pearce, bob 'primrose' wilson, marcel 'ghanaian' desailly etc.

let's not forget this is the channel that hired gazza in 2002 even though he was £#%&!ing incomprehensible, and gave fergie his short-lived one-game career as a pundit (european cup final 1997, fergie: "juventus will win, absolutely no question about that. dortmund have got no chance". result: 3-1 dortmund )

Rob Shepherd here come

edit :Ben rather the odious #@&%!

ITV is £#%&!ing dreadful.

Tyldesley is the worst commentator going. He scripts most of it before the game, £#%&!ing shite one liners, puns and cliches. Sets himself up for his own shit, smug jokes. It's got to the point where everything he says annoys me now - even down the way he mispronounces Budweiser as "Boot-viser" during the Cup games.

The way he also tried to justify the booing of Evra last week by saying that Suarez will be booed at Old Trafford, whilst neglecting to mention that Evra's the victim and Suarez is a proven racist.

As someone on here pointed out last week on the ITV coverage of the Evra/Suarez racism, they weren't concerned with trivial things like right and wrong, but just wanted to stir up as much drama as possible. I'm sure it won't be long before they have mongs calling in at half time to vote on whether they think a penalty should/should not have been given.

Chiles is a @#%&!. He's ordinary-man-in-the-street act wore thin a long, long time ago. He's clueless about football, and he appears to subscribe to most, if not all, tired myths about our club - United get all the decisions, none of the fans are from Manchester etc, etc.

Beglin is an ABU who has absolutely no insight whatsoever. Clearly picked up nothing during a decade of playing for Liverpool reserves.

Only decent thing about ITV of late has been Roy Keane. You can see his contempt for Chiles burning inside of him.... well, it's either that or self-loathing at the fact that he himself has ended up in an ITV studio with Chiles, Southgate and Tyldesley as his colleagues.

£#%&! the scouse @#%&! Beglin, hope he gets trampled by a load of Ukranians. Then Liverpool fans can blame Chelski again

£#%&!ing @#%&!

£#%&! Peter Dreary as well, my boxers have more charisma than that @#%&!

Bring back Pleat and Big Ron.

Used to have bets in the pub on how many times BFR would say `tempo` in his commentary.

Not forgetting Kevin Keegan during France '98, just before Batty's penalty against the Argies:

Moore: "Will he score, yes or no."

Keegan: "Yes."

BOOOOOOM.

I'm sure Keano is teetering on smacking that bastard whilst the game is on... but you've basically summed up ITV in a nutshell, that evra booing pardon was very @#%&!ish of them, £#%&!'m.

England v Romania....

Keegan: "there's only one side that's going to win this now and that is England"

Think Romania scored the winner within five minutes

And within 8 or 9 months he was the new England manager!

Nice to see a balanced panel on Soccer Saturday today, 2 scousers and 2 ex-arse.

If there is another plague it will be down to all the ex LFC players working as media pundits.
