		<description>Totally disagree - I love Adrian Chiles! He adds an irrisistable, orgiastic excess of &#039;joi de vivre&#039;</description>

		<description>Finding your blog a bit addictive!  Viewing figures for the final tell a story.  BBC 15 mill - 4.5 times what ITV mananged for their average audience.  Ultimately, ITV got off to a terrible start with missing the England goal with an advert and never recovered.</description>

		<description>I agree wholeheartedly about Chiles, as I think does most of the nation. His cuddly &quot;Apprentice You&#039;re Fired&quot; style, which can be pleasant at times, just doesn&#039;t cut it for as big an event as the World Cup. There&#039;s a place for humour in punditry, but not at the expense of respectability, and I believe Chiles has got that balance wrong.

Smith is a little smarmy for my liking.

It&#039;s Lineker not Linekar by the way.</description>
