I guess it doesn’t really matter as it’s only 10 games – I just hope they don’t even think of doing any of this sort of stuff on other PL games.”
Way overstaffed for what it is - 4 people at the stadium (Kammy, Tyler, Smith and Shreeves), 2 at a pub and 6 people in the studio.
As I've said seems to be a trend at the moment on all football coverage to include more people on-screen, more pundits and make shows longer for no real benefit.
As someone else said, seems all style little substance so far, all sorts of filler and a very deliberate attempt to go informal.
Definetely could do with 30 mins less pre-match.
That dancing nonsense gave me Oxlade Chamberlin PES vibes. Do I not like that.
Have to say the more I watch the more I think Colin Murray would suit this given its jokey, informal style
