Sky team..ahh!

Are you saying that Andy Gray has brain washed Arsene Wenger??

I can assure you it's the manager of the club that dictates the style of play from a club. They train with the players week in and week out, graining a certain style or tactic into them.

Bolton have a completely different style from Arsenal... you're not looking close enough if you can't see the variation in your league

 

He does say that a lot. What a natural he is behind the microphone, though. I'd love to have him and Rawling commentating together. I live in hope that ESPN are still going to save the day and pick up the ITV team when they announce some major boxing deals; a fool's hope but still, no point being pessimistic:?:good.

 

Sky and Floyd have got a nice relationship going. Sky licks his ass and he licks theirs back by way of bigging them up all the time. If mayweather/pacquio were to ever happen i think we all know who sky would be behind.

 

I like Mayweather and Jim Watt but that was the funniest post I've heard on here

 

woah, the Sky boys are getting a lot of hate on here.

Personally I Like Watt, although I gotta say that he sometimes picks a fighter and just keeps giving praise throughout the fight. I can see how the casual fans would be swayed by his opinion.

Smith is very passionate about the sport and knows his stuff.


I find Nelson pretty boring.

McCrory is okay but he was pretty much worshipping Floyd during the Marquez fight. Yes it was an awesome performance but no mention of the fact that he was fighting a lightweight when he could have fought Mosely. To top it all off, he even wrote an article praising Floyd on the sky website, which makes Floyd sound like Ali, SRR, SRL and Duran rolled into one.


Piper is not afraid to disagree and I loved the look he gave to Colin Hart during Khan/Prescott. During Floyd/Marquez he was asked if Pacquiao had a chance against Floyd "of course Pacquiao has a chance". I thought that was pretty cool because McCrory and the others were just nuthugging Floyd.


They can be annoying sometimes but they're not a bad team IMO. Buncey would probably be better than most of them but even he can sound a bit patronising. Some of his rants can get irritating too.


And yes, the Sky boys are hyping up Khan, Floyd, Hatton and everyone else who they'll put on Box office but don't try and tell me Setenta didn't do the same. I watched the Bunce show every ****ing week and David ****ing Haye was the main subject on every episode. If they weren't interviewing him in the studio he was on the phone, or they had Adam booth talking about him. They should've just called it the Bunce and Haye show. Even Sky didn't nuthug Hatton has much as that.

 

:yikes

Did he REALLY just say that?

 

Okay so maybe its not quite that bad, but you have to admit Buncey's nuthugging of Haye was almost there. Pretty close.


Anyway, my solution is to get Geoffrey Boycott, Mark Nicholas, Bob Willis, Beefy and Nasser Hussain commentating on the boxing. That would be a dream come true for me.

 

**** off!

If I tune into England's first match in South Africa and hear Johnny Nelson, Jim Watt and Adam Smith doing the commentary I'm putting a shoe through the screen.

 

Dude its only fair. Bunce can talk about Haye on all of his shows and get away with it but if Sky do it theyr'e ****? c'mon now. If Haye had half the support that Hatton has, Setanta would also be proclaiming him "the peoples champion", "man of the people" etc.

 

Sky in general are awful at plugging there own. It wasnt until setanta sports came along you realised there was other sports news in the world
