I like him.
- He's funny in a dry, sarcastic way.
- If you want 'OMG SPAIN PASSING THE BALL WHO ARE THESE FOREIGN PLAYERS THEY PLAY SO GOOD' go and watch ITV.
He is better than Jim Beglin, now there is a **** (and a turn coat at that), as is Townsend, ****ing useless.
What do you want him to sound like?
For goodness sake not everyone is going to be jumping for joy every two seconds.
You think you can do a better job? Go and try.
I imagine if he'd played for United you'd be defending him to the death.
Like he isn't being forced to watch the game! Sounded like a miserable old man.
No, he's probably being paid quite a lot to.
Just because he doesn't sound like a rainbow crossing a playground doesn't mean he's not a good commentator.
I'd find a chirpy, exuberant commentator much more annoying.
Yeah he's being paid alot which is why he's there doesn't mean he's actually interested in the game. I suspect he was but he sounds so miserable I found it off putting. Commentators are supposed to get you into the match. Not dull it down.
Lawro spent the rest of the match saying 'Oh, looks tired doesn't he' every time Pirlo made a great pass. Funny guy.

If that's what you consider funny then I'm no longer surprised that you like his commentary.![]()
