A good commentator can really enhance a game for me whereas a pundit has never given me anything other than a mild sense of annoyance . More football action on MOTD and less talking about the action would be good.
I am pleased to see Lineker back and absolutely defend his right to air an opinion though I hope the new memorandum of understanding he will have with the BBC bans those less than subtle puns with which he invariably closes the programme.
The pundits and personalities enhance the show for many people who have just a passing interest in the actual football and even less in the refereeing and therefore broaden the viewing population. They do nothing for me, but I can understand why they're there.
