Fans react to news that Rachel Riley will be presenting Premier League football on Sky

We're big fans of Rachel Riley here at JOE.

What's not to like? Her IQ is off the charts, she's the acceptable face of double maths, she can hold her own against the country's greatest comic talents, oh and she knows her football too. Thus far we've only seen bits and bobs of Riley's obsession with the game in her day job, including an odd feature on Football Focus. She's been more focused on her sterling work on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. https://twitter.com/ManUnited_Hub/status/754634789467123712 But all that is about to change in a big way, as she has landed a major role with Sky Sports for their coverage of the new Premier League season. Not only that, but she'll be reuniting with her Countdown partner in crime, Jeff Stelling. Sky have announced that Riley will be presenting Friday Night Football, alongside Stelling, as well as hosting Fantasy Football Club alongside Max Rushden and Paul Merson. Her first game will be Manchester United versus Southampton on August 19. We think it's cracking news, and it seems like a lot of you agree... https://twitter.com/dannykane21/status/762219075355508736 https://twitter.com/BagelShotter/status/762220836166201344 https://twitter.com/Robert_Berning/status/762216507485065216 https://twitter.com/JCollettCFC/status/762208107787382784 https://twitter.com/charlotteahenry/status/762209631234060288 https://twitter.com/Defty88/status/762222002690256897 But not everyone's happy... https://twitter.com/FishmanMCFC/status/762221528243200000
