The Thread Of Classic Commentating and Painful Punditry

"trying to come inside David Luiz" by John Champion on fox soccer's coverage... Made me chuckle (like the immature shaved orangutan I am!)

 

Jeff Stelling to the panel yesterday, "So what did Agger do, do, do"? [after his sending off]
Paul Merson, referred to the "Three Scrooges" [Stooges]
I don't think he realises what a buffoon he is, he drops clangers every week!

 

Merson trying to say Noocassel after what's obviously been a good weekend is often hilarious, even more so than whatever downer comment he tries to slur out after that!

 

Merson saying something along the lines of "Lambert's a great striker he's got the finishing ability, clever movement but he's got no pace and So'ton aren't going to be dominating games they're going to need a striker with lightning pace for counter attacks".
A little while later he said "So'ton should go sign Michael Owen, he'd be perfect for them."

 

Peter Reid was on football focus yesterday and they were talking about bad strips they had to wear and he said

" we had a grey one one season and it was grey"

 

"Three Scrooges"

Christmas past.
Christmas present.
Christmas future.

 

Come on now, you can't knock him for that, Mickey would solve anybody's problems.

 

Most pundits always say "hes not just a great goalscorer, hes a scorer of great goals!!"

I remember a few years ago when Arsenal played manchester united and giggs was in on goal and seaman rushed out to get him and the commentator said "and look seaman all over giggs"

 

I hate the pompus one on ITV saying things like that was a mouth watering pass with a delicious finish.

what kind of prick says things like that

 

One often used during the after match analysis on MOTD, "Bad day at the Office"...........What?
Alan Shearer likes to use that one.

 

You've just said it.

 

Was he watching the game, or commenting on Rhodri's ex-wife...?

Reminds me of Sid Waddell, god bless him

 

Gael Clichy (I think) - "You know what you're going to get with Joey Barton, he's going to come in your face"

 

nope it was Philippe Senderos

 

yeah like wtf do they know about bad days anywhere never mind in the office.

Perhaps we should get a job as office pundits and say things like " bad day on the pitch"

 

...and tonight on Filing of the Day, Johnson from accounts sees his perfect season spoiled when he lets an invoice go through the system without a stamp.

Check out these highlights.

 

Well it was a day of two halves

 

I hope y'all (getting down with the lingo ) are going to get a patent on this before Gervais get's his clammy mitts on it!
