Exactly right.
Des Lynam also appeared at the time a good signing by ITV but he couldn't cope with their appalling format.
ITV just seem incapable of doing football to any kind of acceptable standard.

f*** up by the BBC all because for some reason they wanted Evans for the One Show on a Friday. Very strange.
Can't see how Chiles is going to present GMTV and the mediocre coverage of football on ITV though, what happens when he has to be in London for GMTV but Milan for Champions league on same day?

Ryder has been badly treated by ITV and I hope he returns to his spiritual home of the BBC soon.
Chiles, Townsend and Earle will be a great team for the WC and beyond for ITV with Matt Smith backing him up on the smaller games.

why not? Thousands of people have jobs that means occasionally they have to put themselves out with travel meaning very little sleep on the odd night. And they do it for a lot less than £1m per year.
Townsend and Earle - part of a great team? Are you serious?
I find the ITV coverage of any football match poor at best and the world cup games even worse. Usian Bolt would be impressed with the speed ITV can get to an advert break so soon after the final whistle.

I'm convinced crodonilson is on a perpetual wind-up, dribbling all over the Premiership, lauding the FA, waxing lyrical about the mediocrity ITV serves up and so on.
At least for his sake I hope it's a wind-up.

I'm not sure I want to look at Chiles in HD though.
Might just stick to ITV's abysmal SD picture.

well anything is an improvement, but it doesnt address the underlying problem that you cant take the opinions of their nobody pundits seriously. i know people like knock Shear, Hansen et all on BBC, but at least they won stuff and played for top teams, rather than the likes of Wimbledon and Chelsea (when they where shit). the commentators also get a hardon for the big four, and will often contradict themselves about who good/bad a player is within 10 minutes.
No. He don't speak proppa.
To me he's one of the best pundits out there, seems to know what he's talking about. Prefer him to townsend and earle by a long distance, and the moaning and droaning of Hansen and Lawro.

Mmm, not really.
The Masters coverage was worth the subscription fee alone. And you really can't appreciate just how bad the picture is for football on ITV till you flick over to their HD channel. Thats an ESSENTIAL World Cup upgrade in my book.

Its official. Women are OBLIVIOUS to HD.
The number of times I've walked in and she's watching a film on Sky Movies standard definition because "301 is easier to remember"
She also doesn't see the point of Surround Sound.
