Is it time to learn to live with the Nationwide adverts?

This country is in a right state commentary wise (let's ignore co-comms for now)

 

BT Sport still think Darren Fletcher is a number one, UCL-final worthy commentator

ITV think that Sam Matterface is a number one, Euros/World Cup final worthy commentator

BBC think Guy Mowbray is better than Steve Wilson still

Sky have an ageing Martin Tyler who is getting more opinionated the older he gets

 

We have a plethora of good commentators. I really like Drury (though his ALL OF AFRICA will haunt him forever), there's Tyldsley, Hawthorne, Leslie, Daniel Mann (though he's been missing for a while) Brotherton, Wilson etc. And yet none of them are used as much as they should be. Various reasons for this, obviously (contracted to BBC, Freelancer only) but look at that list, especially ITV and BT. It's a crying shame those are their network's #1 commentator.

The sad thing is Tyler and Fletcher are both very good at those 2 second clips tv companies seem to adore lately. The pair spend entire games searching for them sadly. 

 

Its a shame that with all the new tv fixtures we have on at the moment, that they can't experiment with some new comms and give others a go.

The fact W takes longer to say than win really annoys me.

It's time for football to come hat in hand to rugby and beg for help. 

 

What the Premier League needs is Eddie Buttler's dramatic eulogies to really liven up the weekend. 

 

Don't let anyone biased and bitter like @Vacamion @Countryfox or @Nalis tell you otherwise.

There are plenty of French players to excite Eddie's palate so I'm on board with that.

Lots of different things go round on twitter. I've just muted the "how it started v how it finished" tweets because they've started to annoy me. With all these things, one person does something funny then the rest of twitter think they can come up with funny ones which doesn't happen.

If he's who I think he is, his eulogies are unbelievably gear grind-worthy. "Hey Eddie, why not use another war metaphore?"

When Fofana plays for us, my mind will always hear the commentary of his name spoken with Eddie B's flourish...

When people on here complain about others scapegoating players, I don’t think I’ve seen any player literally be scapegoated, moaning about a player isn’t the same.
