    Well from a girls point of view I see nothing wrong with seeing half clad footballers in the locker room at all. :D

    I agree with you on the in-game interviews...most post-game interviews should be scrapped as well. They offer little more than cliches or whinging.

    I disagree about the introduction of different camera angles. The standard long view that we get is a bit stale and fresh perspectives on the action (especially in HD) are a good thing.

    No locker room cameras. No in-game interviews with managers. No sideline reporters.

    I would like to see different camera angles though. Watching matches live, I prefer to sit behind the goal because I can get a better view of the tactical formation and see where passes might or might not go.

    And I must have HD. Watching MLS in HD makes me realize how poor the picture quality is for the Premier League. Every time I see the boards next to the pitch that say "SkySportsHD" I get disappointed.

    Oh yeah, and...


    PLAY UP POMPEY!!!

    Completely agree about locker room cameras and in-game interviews; they're really annoying.

    However, I like the post match interviews. I hate them in the US because all the coaches are pompous and arrogant, but they're great overseas.

    I also disagree about the camera angles. Done right, they can really enhance the game. Just make sure they don't copy FSC's attempts (and sometimes ESPN's) who do it poorly.

    Also: HD. HD. HD.
