    NFL UK have just tweeted that Sunday Night Football will return to Channel 4 this year and this time it will be in full HD and the games will be available to watch on Channel 4's catch-up service 4oD.

    One drawback though, they have got that tool Nat Coombs back presenting with Mike Carlson. Not Nat. Anyone but him. Ugh. :mad:

    Coombs and Carlson are great together, loved them back in the day on Five. Delighted their back.

    Am liking the HD aspect. Will be able to record and review all in super clarity. :D

    I am a fan of Nat. Him and Mike have a great rapport together. I prefer a lighter view of the game in the early hours of the morning.

    Nice one.. Nat and Mike have a good rapport. Was it last year they had Danny Kelly presenting? Bad times.

    I guess the Atlanta Faulklands have been put into liquidation, then.

    Gary Imalch has a wonderfully dry sense of humour and clearly did his research better than many far better paid sports presenters have done but it was clearly Nat and Mike had developed a great chemistry by the end of their run on Five.

    They've been doing a weekly podcast together for quite a while now so they should be able to hit the ground running.

    Did they have to get a new studio or could they actually move that other presenter from his seat?

    Danny Kelly is actually quite a well known and long running broadcaster and journalist and has been covering many sports on UK TV for decades as well as being the former editor of some big publications and founding many sports companies.

    OK, he's fat, is that really a reason to take the piss out of him? Grow up...
