Please no!!!! I remember the last time ITV showed Premier league highlights and it was awful...about 4 minutes of football followed by a torrent of adverts. Adrian Chiles on a Saturday night...the very thought of it brings me out in a cold sweat. I know MOTD has it's faults but I pray ITV don't get the highlights.

A disaster the last time they tried it. If I recall I think they even had it on early Sat evenings !!

MOTD is shite but ITV was significantly worse. Awful opening theme, awful punditry, a fuck tonne of adverts. Yep shite.

Ugh, fucking hell. Imagine MoTD presented by Adrian 'fucking' Chiles and Andy Townshend (the Godfather of insightful footballing knowledge and punditry), with the already poor amount of coverage from Match of the Day cut by half due to it being littered with adverts.

Although both have their fair share of shit pundits, BBC's production is light years ahead of ITV. Also, despite being a smarmy twat Lineker does quite a decent job as a host.

Never really understood the comments about MOTD being shit, it shows football highlights so it'll do me, I don't really care who the pundits are because I have a channel flick when it comes to that part.

1 hour adverts, 20 minutes of Townsend drivel, 10 minutes football. NO!

What stops them taking the pundits as well?
BBC can keep Lineker though.

Am I the only person who doesn't mind Linekar?.. seems people are easily pissed off on here. I'm with you mate, I've never quite got the hatred for Lineker. Does a decent job for the BBC, even representing sports you wouldn't associate him with (like the Olympics the other year).

I dont care either way - Saturday Night Football, Match Choice, Goals on Sunday - they make a mockery of the lesser products on terrestrial TV.
Anybody that watched ITVs coverage of Sco v Eng on Tues that switched to Sky for their superior coverage would know instantly!
Clive and Andy vs Martin and the excellent Dave Provan
MoTD is just a vehicle for Lineker to promote himself these days, silly goatee n all. Fit missus though Its lost a bit from Hansen and Lawro not doing the analysis now - Shearer is just dull, Murphy/Harston etc are big club biased, they lost a real gem in Lee Dixon switching.
Even Motty is missed a little, although Barry Davies is still the king!
ITV with Chiles (I dont mind him tbh, at least he is a footy fan) is painful to watch, their flagship commentary team are just awful.

ITV shouldn't be considered for any football until they sort out their laughably amateurish standards.

Everything ITV do with football from the opening titles which look tacky, through the endless adverts, inane punditry, awful Brummie presenter, Clive Tyldsley and, to put the tin hat on it, Andy Fucking Townsend.
They even managed to make Des Lynam shit and he was fantastic on BBC.
I like Match of the Day and I like the BBC.

MOTD has been shit for years, so I would never be surprised if ITV took it over.

BBC coverage has some really big faults, but ITV coverage makes the beeb look like a fucking carlsberg advert.

Imagine MoTD presented by Adrian 'fucking' Chiles and Andy Townshend (the Godfather of insightful footballing knowledge and punditry), with the already poor amount of coverage from Match of the Day cut by half due to it being littered with adverts. I thought Chiles was decent enough when he presented MotD 2 on BBC. Just like Des Lynam was good on the BBC before it all went pear-shaped when he moved to ITV. I don't have a problem with Lineker either. I have about a 2-3 year blank on Premier League football (for however long the highlights were on ITV) because I stopped watching the highlights.

I think one thing we can ALL agree on is that ITV football is truly abysmal. The presenter/s are shite,pundits awful and the one thing that annoys me most is Gabriel fucking Clarke with his little stories before the match. Then they show close ups of the players like they are making a french film noir or something. Awful awful shite. "The Premiership" made me hate u2 overnight with that god awful Beautiful Day shite every week and on every advert. I read somewhere that in a hour and half of the programme they showed just 38 mins of football. Match of the day may annoys us sometimes but it MUST stay. ITV will go for this bigtime though having lost the FA Cup and Champions League.
