I have to agree the pundits on Sky sports are far better generally.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I'd love to see Andy Gray back on either Sky or BT. Who agrees?

Yes l liked him personally but in these PC times l cannot see him being employed as a Football TV presenter again as one l used to like many many years ago was Bojangles but after a untoward comment he made he was never seen again on TV..

Andy Gray is still a football presenter but not in the UK. He works for beIN Sport as does Richard Keys so you can see him in countries served by beIN including Australia. http://getbein.beinsports.com/au/discover/

I seem to remember Andy Gray being on BT sport once,last season I think? Not sure why just the once though unless as you say he's contracted elsewhere. I liked Ron Atkinson too and I believe he should be given another chance.

I actually think both Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves are pretty decent, both not afraid to speak out.
Fairly indifferent to Mcmanaman
Agree re Owen and Savage.
Sky are a fair way ahead BT (and anyone) on their PL coverage but the gap is closing. While BT are learning and getting better, Sky seem a bit stale and lacking new ideas (good ideas that is, case in point: Friday night football). The CL Goals program is excellent and their CL coverage is at least on a par if not better than Sky's CL coverage thanks to Rio and Lineker proving to be a good double act..... IMHO.
Also I think with a few more tweeks (and less Savage) Score is proving to be a pretty decent production.

He would do great on BT sport. I like how sky sports is currently. Carragher and Neville are excellent. Henry leaves a lot to be desired but if hes paired up with someone good then it works.
Bt sport have awful pundits. You know its bad when Ian Wright is actually decent. Michael Owen is terrible. Its good BT are sort of pushing him out by pairing him with another colour commentator. McManaman is bad too. He goes from Setanta to ESPN to BT sport. He must have something on these people to keep getting a job.
Hire gray and have him on commentary and BT would really improve things. Cant they hire MOTD pundits too? Shearer is very much improved. Shove him on champions league nights with lineker.

I think BT tested the viewers and press reaction with Andy Gray but I think he's quite happy at beIN Sport alongside Keys. Big Ron's 77 so I can't see BT signing him up even if his past gaffes are long forgotten.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Apparently the Twitter feed for tonights live NFL game is available in every country except Canada.
I thought SKY had the rights for online streaming but obviously not.

They do have the rights to stream the games however clearly not exclusive rights , the key games for Sky are the earlier Sunday games I can't see them being to bothered about a game that's aired in the early hours.
