Not only are the Villa highlights difficult to sit through anyway, but now there's a possibility of Adrian Chiles and Andy Townsend presenting them. Kill me now.

Would this mean no more MotD? If so that sucks. I don't mind if they get highlights as long as I can ignore them entirely.

ITV would have their own version of MOTD and it would be terrible - ad breaks, shitty punditry and terrible production.

But the good one would be gone?

Yes. BBC wouldn't have the rights to show any highlights.

Dammit, fuck all of that. No pls.

I assume Porky, like me, remembers ITV's The Premiership which was an abomination. Fucking awful.

Maybe Townsend will get an improvement from the camper van from where he did his "analysis".

Please BBC, win this bid! I'm sure crowd funding will garner the funds to prevent seeing Chiles/Townsend/Tydlesley.

That's going back a few years now haha. It ended like 2004 I think? Might have been 2003.

I do miss Des Lynam though.
