Maybe they should bring back Manish and Mogadon Claridge. Then we'd be grateful for the current shambles.Anyone else agree that the apparent new format is absolute shite. No pundits. (I know we rarely agree with what they say but at least it gives us something to talk about.) No replays of contentious issues. No analysis. It's just boring.
Pundits just repeat what you just saw. Prefer using the time on maximising coverage of games.Anyone else agree that the apparent new format is absolute shite. No pundits.

Doesn't it not make a difference - e.g. the highlights package is sold for X minutes of football and the punditry is padding. I agree I'm not that into two ex players going 'well, it's one of them Clive' but it's nice to get some context and background between games and perhaps a focus on a particular player who is doing well or whatever. When done well, the wraparound stuff can be really helpful.Pundits just repeat what you just saw. Prefer using the time on maximising coverage of games.
Clinton Morrison was the end of punditry padding for me. I'm sure I don't need to explain any further!!!Doesn't it not make a difference - e.g. the highlights package is sold for X minutes of football and the punditry is padding.

I quite like Clinton on the radio. He's amenable. I don't expect him to say owt of any value but he's pleased to be out the house...Clinton Morrison was the end of punditry padding for me. I'm sure I don't need to explain any further!!!
But you don’t get any more minutes of the games as the programme is now shorterPundits just repeat what you just saw. Prefer using the time on maximising coverage of games.
Some of us want to know about other clubs other than our own, and we're given a disservice with this current format. I didn't mind the punditry even last season. Dean Ashton etc were OK.I'd guess now you get highlights packages online that the viewing figures are really low for these round up shows cos people have their own club TV services or just use the Youtube/Sky links.
It's a shame because a nicely put together thing helps you keep on top of what's going on and there's plenty of expertise out there. It's a pity that they just flog to the highest bidder as opposed to a bidder who will make the best of it but that's football innit.
