Commentary That Stays With You

I'll tell you why that was, there was only two teams allowed in the CL at the time.
Manchester United are the only London team to be European Champions. They are called a London team due to a section of their fanbase. 20% of their support live in London,2% live in Salford, 75% live in China and 3% live in Ireland.

 

surely that would make us a chinese team? Bugger me post some bloody commentary.

You are a chinese team..they hold a competition at the theatre of debt every second weekend...its called spot the salford.

 

Sorry mate, can't agree with that - back when it was champions only in the European Cup, there were seasons when the best team in Europe (based on rankings anyway) ended up in the UEFA Cup. Had they not changed the format, our '99 Treble winners would have only ended up in the UEFA Cup which shows how tough it was prior to the formation of the CL. Even in 2001 Liverpool had to get past Roma, Porto and Barca to win the UEFA Cup - not as hard as the CL but certainly tougher than the FA Cup or League Cup imo.

Just ignore his off topic comments. He's like a mosquito bite - scratching just increases the irritation...

 

fair enough, i sometimes forget how the game has evolved and changed over time. Nowadays, when i think of the uefa cup, i think of fulhams crazy run

 

Yeah but remember that Fulham had a world class manager at the helm for that run

And surely it's no crazier than Schalke, Malmo or Club Brugge getting as far as they have done in the CL on occasion? Or Crawley Town getting further than Chelsea in the FA Cup? A strong run of form and a bit of luck can go a long way in any cup competition.

 

aye, but watching them i thought that luck didn't have a lot to do with it, they were playing good football and grinding out some good wins. Tactical brilliance from the gaffer

 

KPR still spouting his anti united vitriol?

Piss off you sad twat, you've become far more annoying than even your club is.

 

All the commentary I could think of are in this thread.

One piece that always has me is the one in FIFA 11 (Console game). It was Andy Gray talking to Martin Tyler, along the lines of - We have a job for life

The irony now

 

tbf he lost it and walked straight into talksport

 

That's a point. Who's commentating on Fifa 12?

 

tyler, townsend, tyldesley and smith

 

You can choose out of the above.

Townsend and Tyldesley or Smith and Tyler.

Townsend and Tyldesley are much better IMO.

 

Oh bloody hell - not again you tart

 

Rather have Smith and Tyler any day, even if Tyler's 'and it's liiiiive' thing is proper wrist-slitting stuff when you're watching Wolves vs Blackburn on a Monday night. Tyldesley's a nasal, annoying dickhead and Townsend's utterly clueless, another one whose awful accent completely grates on me. I actually find Channel 5's commentary team a cut above ITV's.

best intro to a video game ever!

as for more commentry

"for those watching in black and white, Spurs are in the yellow strip" - motty

 

You must be a very young lad if you don't remember before the Champions League started

 

FAO KPR.....There are only 3 primary pieces of silver ware for any top division football club anywhere on earth.

The domestic league title, the domestic cup & the continental cup. In England this is the Premier League ( Old first division ), FA Cup and Champions League ( European Cup ). Anything else means you weren't good enough basically and settled for 2nd best. So that gives our clubs the following totals. Liverpool - 18.7.5 = 30 & Man Utd have 19.11.3 = 33. I hope this has helped you see the light and realise the error of your ways. No body, literally nobody counts the League Cup. The Uefa Cup once held a smidgen of prestige but for many many years its been truly awful. If your club aims to win the Uefa Cup at the start of the season it should be ashamed.

On topic......Obviously the 'Solskjaer has won it' one comes to mind.
