Very good.

My own two peneth;

He was a great player, who is very knowledgeable about the game. I think he could add a lot to the commentary. Him and Carney could, and should, complement each other. The light-hearted off the cuff comments made by Carney would be the perfect foil for Clarke’s more serious analytical approach.

What riles most fans is(and this is a fact) that whoever is playing he is constantly comparing them to Wigan. That was a bit harsh as it’s probably my primrose and blue specs that make his comments stand out. It’s his tone, his intonation, which he needs to work on. I hope he sorts this out, because if he doesn’t he will continue to irritate a large number of fans. He can’t hide the fact he is Wigan through and through, he should do so IMO. To some he is no more irritating than Stevo and Eddie. These fans though, would take exception to all but their own interpretation and thoughts on the game, and will never be pleased, no matter who has the microphone. Personally, (I know this will be controversial) I quite enjoy the commentary for what it is, and laugh at the appropriate moments.

Clarke and Carney to replace Eddie and Stevo in a few years?

How about having a three man commentary team each week? Phil Clarke and en ex player from each of the playing teams. EVERYTIME he comes out with his inappropriate Wigan stats the others can simply ask him "What the f...heck thats got to do with the game we're watching?"

It is funny when Wigan lose seeing his brain fail to function. Cannot compute errors everywhere when his precious Goons are being pasted.

But when they are winning it's sickening. I've never known a TV production to have such bias other than when it's a UK side against some foreigners.

Bring in fanzone

he doesn't really bother me..... i do have a good chuckle when he comes out with his silly facts though... you can tell he isnt enjoying warrington being the best team... But that makes it all the more sweeter.

Daft northern rugby fans on a fanzone would be brilliant, do football still have that?

It would need subtitles... could you imagine Hull v Hull KR derby?

They do, the main game each week is on with Fanzone on Sky Sports Extra.

It would be truly hillarious to listen to.

Fanzone on a part with XFactor in my view, totally cringe worthy and can't bring myself to watch that kind of stuff. Still, each to their own

Would need subtitles for Wiganers though Yed.

Dat wur a greet try frum Sam.

Clarkey is legend. You’ll never get shut of him. The rugby gods are on his side.

Seriously though, get over yourselves. I think the sky coverage is hilarious and don’t take it too seriously.

If we meet in the playoffs / GF and you turn us over which you are strong favourites to do, then it will make the victory that little bit sweeter when you watch it back on sky.

For example, last years grand final, the coverage was all set up to be the Kieron Cunningham’s last hurrah. Eddie was gutted when Saints lost, but it just made me laugh when we won.

This ^^

Wanting somebody to be sacked because you don't like them is petty in the extreme. The same sort of people who want players banned when they have a go back at the crowd, despite giving that player stick themselves.

To be fair, most people want Clarke sacked as a result of him saying Danny McGuire's injury "served him right for cheating". Before then people just complained about the fact he can be a bit annoying, much like they do with Eddie & Stevo & Ray French & so on.

semtex!
