    You should use something that gives you the chance to explain and enlarge on your thought process, not a tabloid piece of plastic with a chip or two inside. ;)

    Thank goodness that the BBC closed down 606 to safeguard cost effective spending on the likes of Steve Claridge, Manish Bhasin and Robbie Savage.

    Where would we be without them?

    Folks, don't knock Jon or 3CR, Jon is freelance and the beeb are under big pressure.

    I have a pretty good dialogue with Jon and will have a word, but rest assured he is trying his best to deliver a quality product. 3CR is run from L**** but they don't like the club anymore after what happened with some local independent radiostation (the name escapes me).

    3CR want to have subscribers to the watford highlights service as it will help them maintain jobs. Their position has been under threat for a while since they were refused the money for a DAB frequency.

    As you may know Jon Marks is the one who really knows what is going on within the club as he has his sources (NP etc) so don't have a go at him.

    i think it's a great service to be honest, the amount of times it goes wrong compared to when it works is minimal, and as Elixir says, Jon Marks is incomparable when you listen to other commentaries. Yesterday was a case in point. Burnley commentators have to rank highly in the most boring of boring list! lol

    Burnley sounded as if they were commentating on the snooker. It was horrific. When Jon came on it was a marked improvement, I feel he does a great job.

    I really like watford player :)

    Just thought I'd point out that the BBC deemed the Guernsey highlights worthy of immediate uploading onto the BBC Sport website. They've been up since 5:40 yesterday.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14416928.stm

    Strangely, I can't seem to find the Watford highlights from the match that kicked off at the same time. :huh:
