BBC or ITV?

JimmyJim1990 asked on the forum who did we prefer watching football on, BBC or ITV? I have to say it wasn't a difficult decision for me...
BBC hands down and that is despite Motty.
John Motson v Clive Tyldesley - Close win for ITV
Motty is just past it and despite Clive's love affair with Manchester United and that night in Barcelona - he's better.
Mark Lawrenson v David Pleat - Close win for BBC
I don't really like Lawro but David Pleat is well erm...David Pleat
Gary Lineker v Steve Rider - Tie
I like Steve's professionalism and steady pair of hands but I also quite like Gary's laid backness.
Alan Hansen, Alan Shearer, Martin O'Neill v Andy Townsend, Big Sam, Gary Neville et al - Huge victory for BBC
This is where the Beeb comes into her own. Hansen and O'Neill are both at the very peak of studio analysts. Shearer is also better than anyone ITV trots out.
Ads v No Ads - BBC big
I know ads have to be there but we get much less preview on ITV, much less time for Half Time chat and it's just a less pleasant watching experience.
So there we go - BBC is the place I prefer to watch football, like most of the rest of the nation.
