New MOTD Presenter

[Dr. Winston]

That’s very true. I hardly ever watch the Saturday night show. Sunday morning is more my thing with a butty and a cuppa.

That makes more sense.

Anyhow, when Paul Merson still makes a living from talking about the game despite being a complete Moron I can't imagine that Kelly Cates represents anything other than a big improvement.

Merson, Tim Sherwood, Micah Richard’s, Clinton Morrison, the list goes on.

It's cracking choice.

It puzzles me when grown men get so wound up that a women gets a job to talk about football.

Never had a problem with female presenters on football. They're usually as good as, if not better, than the men, because they tend to play it a bit straighter and avoid straying into banter territory.

Female ex-player pundits punditing on mens football? Male ex-player pundits punditing on women's football? Not so keen. For me it's false equivalence. In both scenarios, they don't really know what they're talking about because they haven't got the same lived experience. I just think it's all a bit forced, a bit daft.

But I think Cates, Logan, Woods, Hipgrave etc - all brilliant presenters, really good at what they do.

I can't watch results show on Sky during the 3pm kick off's on a Saturday. The pundits on there are awful.

Couldn't agree more. It's borderline unwatchable these days. Sherwood in particular, just the worst.

At least Merson doesn't take himself too seriously and half heartedly knows deep down he is chatting shit.

Sherwood on the other hand.

It’s the same show. Literally.

 

[Cooperman]

It’s the same show. Literally.

I’ve got better things to do on a Saturday night than watch MOTD. Sunday morning is a different story.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

I get people waiting up to watch MOTD before t'internet, but when all the Prem goals are available for free about an hour after the game on the Sky website anyway I'm kinda surprised that people still do, no matter who presents it.

Waiting up? It’s on at 10.30pm mun it’s not like you’d have to delay your Horlicks.

Yeah but you said you don’t watch the Saturday show but you do. You just watch it on a Sunday.

Out of interest, what are these “better things” that you’re doing in your glamorous life at 10.30 on a Saturday night? More often than not you’re on here talking shit with the rest of us.

The downside of having an internal clock that wakes me up for work whether or not it's the weekend is a bedtime well in advance of 10:30.

I’ve got absolutely no problem with women presenters. Much better than the male presenters who’ve been mentioned on this thread. When it comes to women commentators I’m afraid I have to admit to being a

I never said it was a choice driven by content, it’s very much about timing.

If I was to knock up a quick list of ten things to do on a Saturday night which is more interesting than MOTD, chatting shit with my PS chums would be on there

Why?

 

[ThurrockJack]

Fuck me and people wonder why footballers struggle to come out.

I took the comment as highlighting how ridiculous the comment above it was myself.
