Everyone seems to be confused on the difference between punditry and presenting.
Female presenters are not a new thing and are equally good (in many cases better) than their male counterparts. Absolutely no reason they shouldn't be, Analysis of the finer points of the game is different. Again that's not to say women can't be as good, there are some very good ones out there, particularly on Sky, but it's the whole 'quota' and dumbing down, that I think is a bit ott. Having said that I can't remember the last time I actually watched MotD, which used to be be part of my staple.
