Savage - “He’s got four assists and 1 goal in the championship” Caller - “But if you’ve seen him pl....” “Four assists and one goal” “I don’t think we have anyone else who can drop their shou....” “FOUR ASSISTS AND ONE GOAL!!!” Rinse and repeat about 6 times. If Savage doesn’t agree, absolutely fine. But repeating (and shouting) the same statistic as an argument half a dozen times is pathetic. Pathetic. But then again, he's only got that gig because he winds people up. Definitely not the thinking man's pundit. Shit player too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I really quite like Frank Lampard on MOTD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Probably hasn't even seen Grealish play this season. Pundits like that are the type who will be telling us the likes of Dele Ali are world class and Rooney is still good enough in the build up to the World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to sound Spanish and pronounce it as it's spelt ffs It’s funny cos he’s Portuguese so the last two are the closest. I don’t know how people paid to know the game inside out and talk about it can’t grasp simple things like that. Should be a sackable offence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enormous drop off in level compared to the last two seasons. He's not going to become the player people thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, that's why I like him. They only have about thirty seconds each to comment on a game, which is hardly anything really, so if a pundit can say one insightful thing and avoid parroting cliches then I consider it a job well done, and Lampard did that all the way through last night.

VillaChris Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Motty doing his final live match comms on 5 live. Should've retired years ago, struggling to keep up with play and is rambling on about stats while Arsenal nearly scored another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but that said, there hasn't been a single good commentator to emerge in the past two decades. At one point you had a prime Motty, a brilliant Barry Davies and Brian Moore who not only had a terrific voice but an incredible ability to vocalise the drama of a football match. Even Tony Gubba was good and a very old Ken Wolstenholme capable. BBC's lineup is pretty damn poor these days, on ITV you have Clive Tyldesley who I have never really liked (Peter Drury is good if he's still knocking around) and Sky are pretty shit as well, Tyler always been overrated and past his best, Alan Parry is the best they have and he's pretty ancient as well.

Mark Albrighton Posted March 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2018 It feels like Motson has been retiring for years now. So drawn out, like when Gerrard left Liverpool. Barry Davies was always the superior commentator, always sidelined for the less eloquent Motty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked Alan Parry. Always seemed to do Monday night games we'd lose. My favourite is Jon Champion. Don't think he does live games anymore as he was at Setanta and then ESPN when they had prem coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ah Tranmere shoot out...might go and watch that again on Youtube! Ian Darke was another one I never liked doing football. Used to mis call who even scored the goal on occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
