Does this SSN-esque filling of the screen with information panels always happen in the build-up to Sky's Saturday lunchtime match?
All felt a bit unnecessary on that. Not sure what's got into Sky this season - a lot of the changes they've made this season to their football coverage seem pointless at best. |

New today, been used all season on Super League.

Of course if you haven't noticed, Sky are using this setup for the ATP World Tour Finals,
Goodness knows how that benefits the viewer, though. |

To be honest I find it pretty useful in some ways to get some information. You do wonder though how we would react though if BT used this sort of layout..
![]() Another trouble is the Sky Sports DOG on the upper left overlapping with the main graphics a bit. |

It's useful to have the team news rolling along the bottom of the screen for those just tuning in but the rest is unnecessary.

How cheap and Tacky..
Hope this isn't the norm otherwise I will only watch the game from now on. I know they do it for the World Tour Finals in tennis but there is a lot more info with that, rankings, the match through the week etc. |

With all that crap on screen I have switched it off and will just watch the game. BT sport 3 has this sort of thing and people hate it. Truly awful thanks SKy Sports

And while I'm having a little rant, they need to stop branding individual games. It's something you'd expect in America. The ones they've done this to so far haven't lived up to the hype during the actual game (I.e that 0-0 at Anfield). What's with the obsession of everybody using Ryan Giggs on punditry too? He added very little on ITV the last week. Makes very basic points. Suppose he's better than Yorke. |

This looks terrible and will make people think it's Sky Sports News
We pay extra for Sky Sports yet now they want to turn it into Sky Sports News! My friend is in the pub and he text me to say that people are shouting at the bar staff to turn over from Sky Sports News to the football! |

Sky using a SSNHQ layout on screen for the build-up with a rolling list of today's fixtures/team news on the bottom and stats of Man United V Arsenal on the right and news in the bottom-middle. Of course if you haven't noticed, Sky are using this setup for the ATP World Tour Finals.
Simon Thomas is with Graeme Souness, Ryan Giggs and Thierry Henry. Geoff Shreeves is pitchside. Thankfully the on-screen graphics have gone. |

Sky were posting about who had the bigger online presence on social media, Ibra or Ozil.
They have lost the plot, BT would have been slammed for this nonsense. |

These are absolutely awful and incredibly distracting. Sky need to get rid as soon as possible. What an awful addition to their coverage!

He added very little on ITV the last week. Makes very basic points. Suppose he's better than Yorke. The F1 promo though is much better, it's being nicknamed 'Duel In The Desert' and sounds so much better than what Sky can give for PL games and makes sense for the following reasons: 1. It is a duel for the world championship. 2. The track is desert-based. |

They also had an utterly meaningless stat on the news 'L' - Arsenal have been behind for a total of 59 minutes this season, the lowest in the league.
A team could, at the end of the season, have been behind for a total 38 minutes. But if all 38 were the final minute of injury time... I could see why England were terrible under GN. GN is a failed coach. |

Gary Neville talks rubbish too. He stated in the first half that Martial has played terrible so far for MUFC. GN does not not know that MUFC's attacking players are played out of position for many years.

The L bar thing as mentioned - Sky have used on the Tennis this week - they've actually used on the Tennis for 2-3 years at least. Was prominent when they had the US Open.
