Adrian Chiles dropped by ITV

[robbiedee]

Thank fuck for that...I really can't stand the bloke.

Now if only they could get rid of Andy Townsend while they're having a clear out...

Mark Pougatch takes the helm for next Champions League game...

They already have got rid of Townsend.

 

[Spurger King]

Looks like I was wrong. Apparently there is a God.

Really? Good if true. Was this recently? I'm sure he was commentating on our Europa games before Christmas.

Controversially, I don't actually mind Chiles. He's a bit of a bumbling old fool, but inoffensive enough. Townsend on the other hand is the bane of my life. He never seems to have grasped the fact that he's a co-commentator on the TV, not radio, and his job is not to describe what he, and everyone else, has just seen word for fucking word, but to provide some insight into why it happened.

His contract won't be renewed. This season is his last.

with Clark Carlisle obv out of the equation and now Townsend gone....i wonder who they've got lined up?

 

[Coyboy]

Won't they just go to BT for CL next year?

Townsend or Owen? It's like choosing between whether you'd like to be buried alive or burnt at the stake.

They won't have much football left, anyway, would they?

Really? Hard to tell when it was muted.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Good. Pair of arseholes

 

[Gassin's finest]

Good.

Annoying twat.

 

[Wellspurs]

These commontators seem a bit like prem managers they don't really get sacked they just move clubs/companies?

Tee hee poo gash.

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

Amazing news.

I discovered new levels of hatred within myself when Chiles started appearing on TV. Possibly the worst Football anchorman of all time, imo

 

[Spurger King]

Is he actually leaving, or are ITV just admitting to dropping him on his face when he was a baby?

Dropped without any warning or reason...

...but we all know its because he's got a face like a swollen ring piece!
