    I thought the bitterest football commentator of all time was Tony Gale (ex Fulham & West Ham) but he has been firmly demoted. Arise Trevor Francis the 1st million pound player now top idiot commentator.

    Listening to his ramblings were more entertaining than the game. According to our Trev Chelsea should have had three players sent off for leaving the pitch without permission (2nd yellow card)?? So using our Trev's logic all players running behind the goal or touchline after scoring are officially off the pitch <laugh>

    Law 12 states: Entering or re-entering the field of play without the referee&#8217;s permission are cautionable offences.

    If this was taken seriously to the letter then all games would be abandoned due to not having the minimum amount of players (7) In all of the football matches I have played in and seen I have never seen this rule administered because of common sense dictates that there is always going to be delays after scoring etc. A point missed by a commentator flummoxed for something credible to say.:cheesy::cheesy:

    Just back from the game, Torres played a blinder and such a shame he didn't score. Hats off to Ramires, Bosingwa, JT and last but not least Mata. Heart was in my mouth in that last 15 minutes!

    If you want to hear biased commentary listen to him doing a liverpool game - he has never forgiven liverpool for beating his birmingham side in a league cup final -

    Listen to Sky or worse ESPN do a Chelsea game.

    In particular Craig Burley.

    When Setanta was around I know many CFC fans complained and cancelled their subscriptions after we lost to City 2-1 a while back because the commentators Keegan (City through and through) and Joe Royle (again ex-City) were so biased in favour of City and against Chelsea

    As aforementioned Gale doing Chelsea matches. Charlie Nicholas as well, who even went as far as to say Chelsea should be banned indefinitely from the CL after Drogba's swearing antics after the Barca game <ok>

    I find it quite remarkable that any broadcaster would ever offer a pundits role to the likes of Trevor Francis! Perhaps they pay peanuts.. and you know what you get when you do that?

    Unfortunately,before these clowns are hired, they don't have to do an IQ test.
    Sky Sports used to do brain scans, but gave them away because they never detected a brain.
    Have to say Alan Hansen is my least favourite. Apart from his mindless ramblings about the Scousers, he must have the worst diction on Television. He is actually incapable of saying "Chelsea " and "good " in the same sentence.

    My new hate is Garth Crooks.
    Changes to my financial circumstances this year have meant I am currently unable to afford Sky and have to make do with Freeview. This means instead of Soccer Saturday, I have to endure Final Score (and I really do mean endure).
    Yesterday, Crooks made absolutely no attempt to hide how much he hated us. It was clear as day how bitter he was when Chelsea won. I think even Gabby Logan and Mark Bright were feeling a bit embarassed by it.
    I've heard Arsenal fans complain of the same thing. He's a bias spud through and through.

    He admitted to hating Arsenal live on Final score once, citing a defeat he suffered at their hands when playing in the FA Cup or something as a reason. Bright and Logan looked around in amazement. Sometimes I swear his hatred for that club (and us) is almost pathological <ok>
