ITV are axing Andy Townsend at the end of the season!

Watch BT sign him now though

[Gazz]

But who will replace his insightful, thought provoking commentary and razor sharp tactical analysis?

[EddieG]

Anyone?

[Baddar]

He'll end up with BT for sure. Apart from Michael Owen, they've got Robbie Savage. With all their CL coverage next season, they're gonna need everyone they can get, no matter how awful. Can see Phil Neville and other BBC guys doing games too. Please, no Lawro!

[Colly]

They're gonna ring Andy Gray again aren't they. Fuck.

[Baddar]

YOU BEAUUUUUTAAAAAY

[Lineker]

What a hit son!

[Ant]

Take a bow son

[TCO]

It was just banter.

[Rich]

I hope Andy Townsend fucks off in to retirement, he is such a cunt.

[Lineker]

That's no way to talk about Ireland's most famous son!

[Colly]

Lawro?

[RoyWill Rumble]

Ya damned skippy Cardiff City's going back to the blue.

Junior Malanda has died in a car crash aged 20.

This has absolutely floored me. He was going to be so good. I'm gutted.

R.I.P

Only noticed this news is a day old, been without internet for the weekend. I'm still shook.

No Tyler Blackett?!

[TCO]

Would've made as much sense as David Luiz

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

As if David Luiz made the list. Mats Hummels was the obvious case but I imagine Dortmund's absolutely terrible form has contributed to that. Still an appalling choice.

Only other change I'd make is maybe Rodriguez over Di Maria or Iniesta. Maybe. The rest is pretty hard to argue with in my opinion.

[Colly]

If Suarez hadn't bitten yet another human he might've had a shout, as it is he missed too much football and Robben deserves his spot.

[Baddar]

James Rodriguez won Goal of 2014. Was hoping Stephanie Roche would win that.
