Over the last few years I've found him more and more irritating. He'll always try and slip the phrase "Could that be an omen" into every single commentary.

 

Although, as DazBob says, he's still better than most of these flatdicks that have been given the microphone. 

 

We need a dream team of Phil Neville and Michael Owen commentating on games

Shame to see him go, I’ve always liked him

 

Then again, I can’t recall the last time I would have listened to his commentary

 

I've heard that he's going to do one last gig, the race between Jules and RUREADY, then he'll finally hand up his sheepskin coat

He always came across as a thoroughly nice bloke but I absolutely hated him as a commentator - up there with Clive Tyldesley imo. Couldn't stand his trotting out of irrelevant stats and his stupid chuckle when he did that

 

Couldn't hold a candle to Coleman and Barry Davies and Sindstat were also far better

Jonathan Pearce is another knob for me

 

And although he his a co commentator Chris Sutton can fuck off as well

 

Always wants to try and be controversial in a stupid Norfolk accent

I’ve a lot of time for Pearce but mainly through Robot Wars.

 

You can tell Sutton has had some coaching on being more expressive. He used to be a totally monotone moaning twat, now he does this growly shouting and is still a twat.

Agreed. No upskirting during commentary

Which raises the question what classic commentary would work on an upskirt video?

Here's one - a legendary snooker final with whispering Ted Lowe commentating.

Key is to go to 1:06:20 and imagine he's commentating on Dennis Taylor trying to snap an imagine of some wench in front of him on the District Line escalators..
