    The BBC have got a lot of ongoing disputes around women presenters and equal pay. Given this is the ?top job?, it was always going to a woman.

    I?m not sure what the fuss is about really as they just facilitate pundits and don?t get too involved. Gary did a bit but the others don?t. I actually think there are some good female sports presenters like Laura Woods.

    They need to stop giving Eni Aluko pundit jobs. She gets it so wrong so often. I don?t think she?s prepared enough or works hard enough to be good at it.

    From a personal point of view, I think that the best female presenter and pundit is Sue Smith. She understands the game and her descriptions of incidents when commentating are second to none.

    Nothing at all against Kelly Cates but it is money for old rope, a very easy job with a huge pay packet, a waste of licence payers money. It just needs a competent presenter who has a reasonable command of the English language and a former top flight player to look at any contentious issues, again, one that can speak English!

    I honestly don't mind who presents or co presents MotD but I do have a few provisos for whomever does it though.

    Please do not burble like a burst @rsehole and try not to impersonate a gibbering cretinous moron.

    And always remember the show is about the football. It's MotD, not the Aren't I Wonderful show.
