Came to say exactly that. Like pissed up mates in a pub, nothing remotely professional about it.

You’d hear better down the pub. Savages random predictions throughout is classic pub talk.
Robbie and Rio absolutely disastrous all night. Muddling up their words, Savage just being nasally and talking where there should be silence. Just rubbish.
Rio shouting ‘come on pleaasseee’ at the end there 
Absolutely shambolic tonight, Fletch, Rio and Sav like excitable kids shouting over each other. Hard to follow what’s going on.
Tv coverage is becoming a YouTube watch along. Poor.

I quite liked it. Especially when Rio went OHhhh Harry Maguire get up there PLEASE.
What’s with this new fad of co-commentors cheering and yelling like they’re fans. Neville started it but they’re all doing it now.
I enjoyed the commentary but as a United fan I would. It just sounded like two United fan ex players and a commentator.
Have no issue with it. Understand why mon United fans may complain though.

Everything Savage said in praise the opposite then happened. The first free kick with Fernandes tracking back "Look at this." "Game management has been better."
He has been a total betnoir. I wish he would fcuk off.

Jenas already at it in the pre-match.
I’ve been critical of EtH this season but where were the ‘He’s got no bench’ shouts earlier this season.
Hopefully we get one over his former lot, idiot.

I find it really difficult to listen to Jenas. Savage isn't much better either.
It's really strange, you would have no idea they were former professional football players from listening to them.
I mean what special insights do they offer, anything?

Interviewing Hojlund to give him his MOTM award. They ask him to watch Neto's goal and say how he felt. What a strange idea.
TnT is absolutely atrocious. I saw that interview and felt the same. Felt for Hojlund being put in such an awkward situation. They are the worst coverage going.If they didn’t have the champions league and Serie A i would of cancelled by now.
It was extremely weird that they made Hojlund watch that, never seen anything like it.
For a start, we won the game. Who gives a feck? Secondly, he wasn't on the pitch. Lastly, why would you put someone through that? Just bizarre.

Piss poor that. I wish Højlund just said I couldn’t care less about Neto’s goal, it meant nothing in the end. now show me Kobbies winner!!!

Listened to Horncastle quite abit during lockdown on the Gazzetta Italian Football podcast with Richardson and Marcotti. Informative and witty.
I loved the Goals Show for the Champion's League they've hidden away this year. Proper insight and a deeper view of football than the YouTube direction sky sports seems to be going.
I have listened to pretty much all of them. Was gutted they stopped doing them. Made the commute into work a lot more enjoyable. Marcotti could be a little annoying at times.
Can't stand their coverage. Their main commentator 'Fletch' in particular is just horrific.
Agree, but we know sky, bbc etc go for big names rather than anyone whos got something intelligent to add.
Sure the employ ex-pros just to make sure they don't go off the rails when they retire.
True. But the fans are becoming more informed and I think there will be a trend that tilts toward better analysis. I give BT sport huge props for bringing in specialists in leagues. Horncastle, Raf Hogenstin, Sid Lowe etc for serie a/bundasliga/la liga is a great move. They give super interesting overlays on foreign opposition pedigree.
Bringing in James Horncastle post match is all well good but it would be nice if they mastered the art of not showing replays whilst teams are on the attack so we don't have to miss any more goals.
