I totally agree. Pundits on ITV and Sky won't rock the applecart and say what they are told for fear of never getting invited back.

Clive Tyldsley has generated some of my favourite quotes of all time. And I watch a lot of terrible television! Aside from the obvious from the last final, some of my personal favourites: 'Manchester United have a throw in, a base camp for the last, final assault on the Bayern Munich lead' + FULL SPEED AHEAD BARCELONA! ++ 'RooneyyyyyAHH! How good was that!' Just typing them gives me shivers! There are loads, whereas the only quote from Andy Gray that has a similar effect is from the '99 Liverpool FA Cup match - 'heh heh heh, I told ye, didn't I tell ye...this is Liverpool's day!'

I would choose ITV if I had the choice...I`ll be stuck with that daft twat sadly!

Alex · 7th May 2008, 02:27

I havent a problem with Derek Rae, Smyth is pathetic though, I think Rae could do a good job himself, would like to see ESPN get someone good alongside Rae because I feel he carries the tempo of the game fairly, even when Tommy is spouting his made up shit

Cornell · 7th May 2008, 02:36

SBS with Gary Bloom or David Basheer.

Can't wait for their monotonous coverage.

"Oh and er...here's Ronaldo with the winner in stopage time. errr good goal that. Screamer from 40 yards. He's, um, quite a player this Ronaldo."

Furious George · 7th May 2008, 07:06

I'm going to watch it on sky but have the sound muted so I can listen to Alan Green dish out the plaudits on Radio 5.

Feed Me · 7th May 2008, 08:45

Red Clive all the way.

rimaldo · 7th May 2008, 08:48

ITV for me.

rocha · 7th May 2008, 10:01

Rcti ....

A1Dan · 7th May 2008, 10:14

If I were watching on TV, it'd be one of the rare times I'd chose ITV.
Andy Gray is developing increasing pro-Chelsea tendancies at a worrying rate...

kristinson · 7th May 2008, 10:26

Fucking ESPN bollox you lucky gets having the choice

or should i(whome happen to be english) start telling people i am "honglais" because french people pronounce it that way?

i fucking HATE andy grey the total ABU prick!!!
his hatred for this great club is only superceeded by his irritating inability to pronounce manchester united like "manchesh u nigh'ed".
i would love it if sky dropped him, fanzone is easily the best commentry,imho.

PJ · 7th May 2008, 15:34

either i go home and watch it on itv, or i stay in belfast, watch it in a pub and just go with the flow

General build-up and punditry seems better on Sky, but as far as commentary goes, I'll never be able to forget Clive Tydlesley in 99, although David Pleat's a moron so it kind of balances out.

Not sure at the moment, so what's it to be?

Neither. RTE 2.

Havak · 7th May 2008, 20:49

I'll probably watch the build up on Sky Sports, it's usually much more in depth and they have more time.

But as for the match, even though everything will be of better quality on Sky Sports, the magic it'll have on ITV wins me over. So I'll most likely watch the game on ITV.

penfold52 · 7th May 2008, 20:57

ITV for me ,I dont have Sky sports .
Could watch it on Digitalb which will be the SKY feed ,but will stick with lucky Clive

IBleedRed · 7th May 2008, 21:00

I like the commentary on fanzone
being an american i love hearing crazy limeys yell at each other and the players/coaching staff/refs

a_devil_inside · 7th May 2008, 23:47

it wouldn't be the same if Clive wasn't doing commentary

Stobzilla · 8th May 2008, 01:03

i give it 30 seconds before clive says something about "that magical night in the nou camp in 99"

p_ps_sock · 8th May 2008, 07:10

Sky

they will have HD coverage and pleat just pisses me off

Scholesy · 21st May 2008, 18:00

I have decided for Sky tonight. Gray, although he can have his bad moments, is the master of anylasis, and although I hate Tyler, he is the sacrifice for Gray. Rednapp and Keys are also OK.

I think the other guests are Souness and probably Wilkins, Souness is a cunt though although makes some interesting points.

Number7 · 21st May 2008, 18:01

ITV for me

olesmyhero · 21st May 2008, 18:02

ESPN2. Hopefully United 'bulges the ole onion bag"'.

Spoonov · 21st May 2008, 18:02

ITV. Sky's got a 10 second delay. Which is too much for me.

GE · 21st May 2008, 18:05

Pre-match build up on Sky. then I'll watch the game on ITV.

Vidicious · 21st May 2008, 18:33

Reasons to watch ITV

1) Sky will constantly refer to Terry as 'the ironman'
2) 'Hero Frank doing this for his mum' x 50
3) Steven Gerrard will be brought up frequently and a masturbation session will comence during the match, completely offtopic.
4) Sky has a 10 second delay. Fact
5) Why you would choose Martin Tyler over Red Clive would be unexplainable

Andy Gray vs Wigan was a total ABU ... lost all respect for him... it has to be ITV.
