Yes, that's a lot isn't it?? The most shocking thing is that its not even a footballer....in fact its for sharing an opinion for a few minutes a week! Who?? Alan fooking Hansen!!! Match Of the Day have him on a contract of 1.5 million/ 40k per appearance.


Sack them off, get John Barnes in on minimum wage and we can at least laugh at his shit autocue reading

I'd guess it might have something to do with licencing of Premier League Highlights and Football League Highlights.

There's probably somewhere in the contract that says that premier League has to have it's own show and must have first billing before the football league Highlights can be shown.

It would not surprise me considering how the Premier League treats the football league.

Yeah but Sky pays for most of the premier League's wages. They're bound to get special treatment.

Scary to think what they pay Gary Lineker and that bore Alan Shearer to get his arse down to London.

The main guys at BBC - Hansen, Linekar, Shearer, they are worth listening to because they are very decorated players in the game and deserve respect, they know what they are talking about.

Its the clowns like Garth "im only employed cos im black" Crooks, and Steve "Lower league journyman" Claridge I got an issue with.

On a similair note Ray Wilkins is brilliant on SKY. Far better than Andy Gray, puts a bit of humour into his commentating, and got a voice thats easy on the ear.

Graham Taylor on Radio 5 live is another good un.

Hansen has been oweful for years and has no personality whatsoever. Rumour has it that both he and Mark Lawenson only got the BBC gig because the person who hired them was a massive Liverpool fan.

Let's be fair if they were any good they would have been poached by Sky ages ago.
