I tuned into Sky Sports News this morning for an hour or so to see any last minute transfers. They had the big countdown clock of course and seemed to be more excited than usual.
But nothing much seemed to be happening, only a load of bums moving between clubs that most wouldn't care about.
Knocked TV off, and tuned back in again a few hours later. Exactly same stuff. No changes but still getting the hype treatment.
Did the same thing, just tuned in again recently and still nothing. I bet they are really hoping for Man Utd or Liverpool to make a signing, even though it looks like a no-no.
But at least the hype continues. Only plus point is the fact that that grey haired Scot isn't on - he gets far too excited about anything at all.
It's just such a load of nonsense this 5pm cut off, how long after that did it take before Arshavin was finally confirmed at Arsenal in the January window I think it was about two day's for final confirmation.
And talking of absolute rubbish/hype/silliness, what do you all think of the news Jose Mourinho advert where he talks about the fact that he ran 3 feet forward, stopped the ball and kicked it !!
They make it sound like he really broke the rules and did the biggest thing ever in the history of football.

What idiots.
Gotten sick of seeing in so many times now, about time they put something else up
The whole Sky hyperbowl (sp?) is unbearable to watch now. I never tune in for the build up to a game nor watch the half or full time analysis. It's just the 90 minutes that matters.
I did see SSN yesterday at lunch however and it was comical to see all these reporters dotted around various parts of the country with nothing going on. Of course, the transfer window is about the entire League not just the big deals in the Premiership but it's those deals SSN live for.

Jobs for the boys I feel at Sky some of the time, they also report on what you know already who doesn't know what's gone on at Man City during the transfer window
I think on Match Day ESPN isn't that bad, I thought that was pretty interesting to see what the Chelsea dressing room looked like. If you do a stadium tour in my experience they normally only show you the away dressing room.

I haven't tuned in for any analysis for about 2 or 3 years now.
I got so tired of Andy Gray thinking he was a tactical genius, saying "I'll tell you what" all the time, Richard Keys' embarrassing "ho ho ho" giggles constantly, pulling at his jacket/trouser legs every 4secs (wonder does he still do this?) etc etc. They were so irritating, and I have no doubt they are sent to Irritating Presenter Classes to learn how to annoy us.
Then they did the thing that broke the camel's back. They brought in "Nice Guy who never says anything controversial cos he's mates with all the stars" Jamie Redknapp, and I was gone.

Good summary mate - I agree with all that
Keys has been like it for ages - I remember in the early days, when he used to say - "Sky Sports - not bad for 2 pounds a month is it" - followed by that trademark laugh.
Always remember switching on the Ryder Cup one morning & they had made him the main presenter (instead of David Livingstone)
Made a complete pillock of himself -
"The Last word" after the Sunday game is priceless - loads of ho-ho-ho's in that.
I agree about Jamie Deadwood - astonishingly bad as a pundit - up there with the likes of Tony Cottee (who once called Emile Heskey a world class player)
