Gotta agree. Most of his interviews are so cringey. CTV as a whole needs major improvement it's just so bland. Only thing I actually like are Pat's analysis and insights.

I like the weekend review and also find Jody Morris's contributions interesting, His tone is not especially upbeat but what he says shows a lot more insight than most on the channel I find.

Friday Night Live should be destroyed and airbrushed out of CTV history. Embarrassing.

As for Neil, I know what people mean about his 'cringe worthy' presentation but I find I can put up with it. I sort of file it under 'so bad it's good'. 'Bad' isn't really the right word though. Maybe 'idiosyncratic' is the way to describe his style. Two things definitely worth mentioning in Neil's favour are:

  • I think he really excels at the recall of club history. Obviously you'd guess that he bones up before specific interviews but the way he instantly pulls facts out of the air during off the cuff moments is very impressive.
  • I love his love for the club. That's something we can all relate to.

If Neil really is on his way out then thanks for everything Spy. Hope the next chapter is even better than the last.

Met him in the butchers hook and again at Burnley, Very nice bloke!

As for Chelsea Tv- I don't know why I pay for it....when you look at CityTV it's head and shoulders above the tosh we produce!

If you haven't seen city's channel...take a look, and you will think Chelsea TV is even worse!!

I stopped paying for Chelsea tv about 3 years ago .. Now I only visit the club web site about twice a month ..

We have an Official Club site that is barely Conference Level

I don't think I've visited the club website in the last year. Hugely out of date, boring and irrelevant.

Yep, amazing how we've got such a low-interactive website.. But I guess their focus is more on social media now, Twitter & Facebook particularly.

Neil is doing the touchline reporting for the UEFA Youth League game at Cobham.

By the way, we're 3 up and playing beautifully. If you get the chance, watch the 3rd goal. It's magical but don't only watch the end of the move. Start from when our keeper has the ball, put your feet up and enjoy.

4-0 now. Ever since Jose told us about RLC's involvement in tonight's game I've had a big smile on my face but watching Boga, Colket and Musonda playing together in the midfield is going to improve the happiness level of any Chelsea fan. It's a pure pleasure. On this form it won't be long till Boga earns a chance at first team level. He has two goals himself and his contribution to the fourth was simple, brilliant and devastating.

I met him 14 years ago. I won a Chelsea comp and won a Chelsea moped :lol: obviously at the time I was too young too accept it so it was in my grandfathers name but Neil presented it to us on the pitch at half-time of a match. Was in the tunnel as the half-time whistle went and watched all the players make their way down. Franco, JFH, Poyet, Desailly. Wisey patted me on the head as he walked past, it was the most excited I had ever been! Don't think I washed my hair for the next week :lol:
