Agree with both Horneris and Baron. Think Gray is limited in his knowledge and past his best he's probably still one of the best Sky had. Alan Smith, Gary Birtles, Don Goodman etc are all pathetic and don't get me started on Waddle on ESPN.
Think the standard needs to be higher though.

I don't understand half the peoples views on here of Andy as a pundit/commentator.

Whenever i watch sky matches he sees things that no one else sees on the field, he makes remarks that are so far above what you hear from all other commentators and its like he knows whats going to happen before it happens. His analysis is brilliant too.

Fair enough he was a knobhead in these clips and maybe deserves to lose his job (i personally think an apology and a major slap on the wrist would suffice) but questioning his ability to do the job he does??? He is the best out there by a country mile!!!

Mondatoo says he is biased, and HitlerBoshi agrees but who on earth is he biased towards? Who is he supposed to support? I've never heard any biased and being the sad young man i am, i watch almost all of skys televised football games.


+1 zillion

I seriously don't get this whole thing, has the world gone mad??

All these leaks show the shady agenda from those up top, dare to sue for the phone taps and you'll be got rid of, rupes won't have that.

I love my football, but hate the monopoly sky have over the game, gray and keys made the whole thing bearable.

Gray on commentary was brilliant, always spot on, and biased- give me a break. LOL

Loved his studio analysis post match too, no doubt keys who is the perfect presenter wil be caned too, joke.

Big fan of stelling on soccer saturday where he is amazing, just hope he dsnt make any comments off air about his attractive countdown co-host rachel, couldn't stand to lose him too from sky, then i'd def cancel the thing.

Having said that when he presents live matches, i don't actually think he comes close to keys who is almost unnoticed when presenting live footy-the way the presenter should be imo, bar on a colourful talk/results show like soccer saturday.

Jees is banter not allowed anymore.

2011 = PC Central-meh. Sad

They came for the racist football commentators but I didn't speak out, because I'm not a racist.

They came for the old lady presenters but I didn't speak out because I'm not an old lady.

They came for the sexist football commentators but I didn't speak out because I'm not a sexist.

Then they came for me... Nobody cared because I'm not on the telly...

It would be a new dawn in TV gold if Chris Kamara got the gig, could you imagine him trying to work all the the new bits of technological nick nack Gray had at his disposal?

Think Redknapp is nailed on, he seems the perfect choice, a bit of eye candy for the ladies and all that

Yo cove I may have said it in a jokey way but I honestly believe women have no place in football as do probably most of the people who read this post. Obv some won't say so though

Every single female Chelsea fan I know knows the reason why Chelsea are associated with celery, after reading your answer in the Chelsea thread apparently you didn't,perhaps these female fans might be of the opinion that you have no place being in Stamford Bridge or calling yourself a Chelsea supporter if you don't even know basic stuff about Chelsea's history and the origins of certain traditions?


im so impressed that you know every single female chelsea fan that i struggled to get past the first four words of your post.

Obviously you did,otherwise you wouldn't have mis-represented what I said,and I doubt I'm going to struggle past even one word of your posts anymore,lifes too short.



Unlike someone from Croydon to not want to argue.

Smith wouldn't be an improvement - he's a limited in his view as Gray.

There are plenty of very talented people (many of which aren't at Sky) who could do a very good job.  Please not Redknapp. Nice lad, very limited as a pundit.

Also, a lot of the 'insight' Gray comes came out with in the studio wasn't from his own analysis and the gray-metter (see what I did there, no, ok, moving on) - but a team of researches and background staff.

If Jonathan Pearce or David Pleat get airtime then you can kiss goodbye to my subs.

Andy Gray has been fantastic over the years, and while he has fooked up here, it strikes me like a bit of a witch hunt.  Sky need to be seen to be doing something about this because of the amount of negative publicity this has received.

Standard company line IMO.

Seems clear to me that some employees/bigwigs have an agenda here to get rid, and this is all the ammo they need.
