Aye DM, ITV has an impressive set and setting there.
The Beeb usually has the best coverage but this time it’s a snooze fest like MOTD. Dull to look at, dull to listen to, only the lack of ads save it.
Pundits? Both sides should both have big squads lined up to reinforce the pre and post match. They’ve had all season to trial and prep them. On the Beeb, up front Lineker’s dry wit and cutting crit are badly missed. The girls can’t deliver on the big occasions. Rooney is unimaginative and just plays it safe, he needs a couple of clever wingmen.
On ITV Pougatch tries too hard and comes over like an estate agent. Wright needs to get stuck in more, he can entertain if he’s allowed. Same with Keane – there’s always a chance he’ll say something off-piste. Maybe they’ll line him up with Duncan disorderly after getting pre-loaded and the fancy riverside set will end up in the Hudson.
