BT Sport
Team: Owen Hargreaves, Michael Owen, David Ginola, David James, Rio Ferdinand
The new money to the footballing scene. The Manchester City if you will. And BT Sport have certainly gone about it like City in their first few seasons with Sheikh Mansour’s chequebook, signing Pundits here there and everywhere.
The BT boys can boast the only recognised goalkeeper so there’s some advantage there but with Owen Hargreaves and Rio Ferdinand before him, James might not need to even bother. Although given the injury records of both the former Manchester United men; Robbie Savage might end up being subbed on and then all bets are off.
However, BT’s pacy attack is sure to cause problems with Ginola and Owen but if anything it’s just a relief to see Michael Owen out of the commentary box.
