Presenter: still think Lineker takes some beating.
Pundits: Alex Scott, McCoist, Aluko and Pat Nevin
McCoist, Aluko, Nevin fair enough. Scott?? Complete inability to communicate and present what might be good knowledge. Lineker wasn't great when he started but he developed quickly. Scott is still struggling after several years.
Has to be Micah Richards, brings out the joy in all the other ones. However, the Carragher/Neville dynamic is and has always been hilarious
It must be a generational thing. Richards isn't a sports presenter, he a very annoying pundit.
Google or Youtube Harry Carpenter / David Coleman etc for proper sports presenters...
A lot of presenters/pundits have next to no knowledge of sport in general - come across as lazy and not interested. Carpenter and Coleman both knew their stuff.
Too many presenters/pundits now seem more concerned with their own profile. The level of ignorance stuns me on occasions.
Mark Chapman, used to really annoy me in his Radio 1 days, but for me he has the perfect balance as host, not too serious but not too straight, asks questions that bring the best out of whatever panel he has, and clearly does his homework on whatever sports he covers.
Jeff Stelling as a presenter. I like Mark Chapman too. Don't listen to Laura Woods radio show but on TV she comes across as incredibly wooden so never understood the fuss.

Find her very lightweight and bland as a presenter.
Comments
Jeff Stelling and Scott Minto (again no Charlton bias) as well...
The latter was excellent covering the EFL and should never have been replaced in that role
Favourite pundit is probably Don Goodman, really good voice for EFL games
Worst: Alan Smith... boring as shit. There are some stinkers that come close though!

Keane
Ferdinand
Aaron Mclean (Can not understand why ain't on more, across the channels)
Laura Woods is one of the best in my opinion. Nothing to do with her looks (although that's bonus), she's just a very good presenter.
Hazel Irvine on Snooker & Jackie Oakley on darts are both very good.
I cannot stand Alex Scott, I think she's dreadful.
