BBC usually gets much higher viewing figures than ITV so which channel did you watch the final on?

No contest, it has to be the BBC. I don't know who did the ITV commentary but Clive Tyldseley's screeching is unbearable and Peter Drury is even worse. As for the pundits, the only advantage ITV have is that the constant commercial breaks mean that the likes of Andy Townsend and Kevin Keegan don't get much airtime. Gareth Southgate is ITV's best pundit but he's still rubbish.

The option is to go to one of the many York pubs, but going to the pub on you're own is a tad boring and a little sad. (and embarrassing.)

You've always struck me more as an ITV man...

Just to be pedantic, I watch the first half on ITV and immediately flipped to BBC after the half time whistle.

ITV managed to miss 33% of England's goals, so it will always be the Beeb.

The BBC pundits are so much better. Now Motty has retired, there isn't much to choose between the commentators.
ITV had just two decent cards this year. Adrian Chiles was far better than I expected, and gave Gary Lineker a run for his money. And Marcel Desailly is great.
The BBC's discovery of the tournament was Clarence Seedorf. I hope he'll be back for the Euro Championships and future World Cups. Shearer goes from strength-to-strength, and I'm warming to Lee Dixon.

BBC easily, they actually analyse the game rather than keep going to ads all the time!

Ha ha, no one, I'm honestly not in a bad mood! Just a little disgruntled that Spain won, I guess!

Sky have been using him for years, particularly on Sky Sports News, where he often pops in to chat about the Champions League.
