    Personally I don't really care who hosts the show - they just need to be a good presenter and know to ask the right questions.

    Similar for commentators.  They need to be able to react to the flow of the match and speak with the correct football terminology (unfortunately I do pick up when women get this wrong).  They must also have a good voice - I forget his name but there was one (English) football commentator who used to do Scottish football that when he got excited raised the pitch of his voice and it remained at that one same monotone pitch for an extended period - used to drive me mad lol.

    Punditry is quite different though and I expect my pundits to have played the sport in question, you can't really give an in depth opinion unless you have played it to the level you're commenting on.  I don't think thats controversial tbh as we often accuse players/managers of not being able to step up a level, why would we give pundits of a different sport credence? 

    Finally, as tennis was mentioned earlier in the thread here is Serena Williams stating that Mens/Womens tennis are two different sports.  Having watched a bit of womens football, I would argue the same applies.

    Well that was my two cents FWIW but I cancelled my TV Licence a couple of years ago so ultimately don't care.  Carry on arguing 😛

    Pedant alert: cardiac arrest is not a heart attack. 

    Education corner: heart attack = a blood clot in the arteries of the heart. Like running a car engine with no oil. 

    Cardiac arrest = electrical malfunction in the heart’s electrical centre (the bundle of His) causing an irregular heart beat. Can be fixed by switching it on and off again. 

    Thats how I fix my PC!

    Terminology aside, I was commenting re. the benefit of having trained staff on the touchline able to respond in seconds.  Its very worrying when it happens, but if it is going to happen, on a PL pitch is just about the best place.

    Hopefully the lad will make a full recover and carry on playing.

    Tom Lockyer. Same lad that went down in the playoff final the other year. Hope he's OK.

    To be fair, if you're going to have a heart attack in the middle of the pitch during a PL game is probably the place you'd want to have it - response time and trained staff second to none.
