Last night the ITV muppet suggested that Man City were worth their lead a 1-0. This was a penalty against 10 men who were ouplaing them before and after that goal and no way was the lead justifiable. Cr*p commentating and observational skills.
 
A bit O/T,but a guy who sits behind me says every game,

He's gonna loose it,
There gonna score in a minute
Tetley is rubbish (makes good tea though)
Should have gone to Specsavers lino.

Every ****ing game.
 
Can I be controversial here?

I like Andy Townsend and have never understood why so many people don't.

Perhaps it's just me?
 
Townsend is a terrible commentator just as bad as when he was playing!

The award for the dullest most boring and predictable commentator has to go to Alan Smith....
 
Alan Smith is indeed terrible, not as bad as Lawrenson these days though, he's become a caricature of himself and is absolutely dreadful.

Townsend and Claridge are fine by me <ok>
 
I'll add, "Your Liverpools, Manchester Uniteds, Arsenals", etc. The annoying thing is I know what they mean but why phrase it like there's more than one of each club?
 
Chrissy Waddle and Steve Claridge both love saying "they've come off the pace" which does my head in.
I've never heard anyone else use that phrase and I'm not sure it really means anything.
Listen next time Waddle is doing a game, guarantee he'll say it at least twice.

Just turned the radio on and within 20 seconds Waddle has informed me that "Arsenal look to be coming off the pace"
