Title: ITV have this thing with Emma Hayes which MOST viewers dislike
Post by: Nick Bateman on June 18, 2026, 02:16:26 AM
While ITV like to post the women's US manager's views about the men's game, most people don't buy it. She is being slaughtered on Youtube and the idiotic chalk-board analysis that ITV have plied importance, looks amateurish and cheap.

She sounds stupid and uncouth and has made some poor observations like Cape Verde would tire which Lee Dixon disagreed. ITV will ruin their coverage by including Emma Hayes who nobody I've heard appreciates.

Women's football is very different to mens and in my view her input is invalid but only included because of political correctness, nothing about quality or substance.

I know you're a troll and I know I shouldn't engage with you but her analysis of the England game was spot on and I would rather she commentated instead of Matterface or Dixon because her footballing knowledge is miles clear of both of them

I know this another classic Nick post, though like another poster above said, i thought Emma was spot on with her analysis and a really good communicator. Impressed!

Nothing against Emma as she is probably one of the better women analysts but majority of these women presenters or commentators are there for the ride. The popularity of the sport as seen so many shoe horned into the men's game where qualified to be in this position could be questioned. TV Companies as much to blame having to be seen as playing everything with a straight bat nowadays. Nothing against women's football good luck to them as profile continues to be raised.
Take Horse Racing for example there are women on there who really do know their Sport to the point they are better than the men. You take Lydia Hislop or Jane Mangan they are both incredible with there in depth knowledge of the sport. You will go a long way to find a sport with better knowledgeable presenters than them.
