Nothing against the ladies but all these are valid points, especially the panel world cup one!
I have to turn commentary down when they're on :old: :shock:

My memory may be playing tricks on me here but wasn't it Soccer AM who used the phrase "it's not for girls"............. ;)

Didn't watch it but if it was the same one who did Leicester v Coventry on Sunday for Sky before our game, I agree. She was awful.

It's a shame because the rest of their coverage for the EFL Cup is quite good.

Mark Chapman is arguably the best football presenter on TV. Actually bothers to educate himself on lower league clubs that he probably doesn't know much about. I would say if Dave Jones or David Prutton ever decide to stop working for Sky on their PL/Championship coverage then they should look no further than Chappers. Always been good on Five Live too.

:lol: Yeah the Yorkie bar advert started the phrase but I'm sure Soccer AM referred it to football. I can hear Tim Lovejoy saying it in my head.

As I said though, my memory may be playing tricks on me :lol:

Same on the cricket coverage by Sky.. experienced and respected commentators have been replaced by cricket girls who present in a lunchtime chat show style. It doesn’t work, and it’s cringeworthy.
