Bellend commentators

Back to Sam fucking Matterface again.

He was awful last night - my biggest gripe is with is obsession of trying to build tension with his facts and comments. IT'S A FUCKING SEMI FINAL LET THE OCCASSION SPEAK FOR ITSELF.

"Remember where you are, hug your loved ones, book tomorrow off work, stick with us for the final don't change a thing" Blah, blah, blah.

The only thing that could make last night any better is Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon getting an alert on the app to isolate for Sunday

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He was fucking abysmal. BBC for me on Sunday.

 

[Stan Hullis]

I'm hoping the pub go back to the BBC on Sunday, I'll even put up with Jermaine Jenas.

 

[broughtonwolf]

He got to the point of going beyond parody at the end, just shouting random words.

FEEL IT - RIDE IT !!!

Telling the whole nation they deserve this after the last 16 months of Covid was particularly special, and then surpassed himself with the instruction to do what you want tonight and blame him whilst ending with the desperate plea to stick with the ITV team for Sunday as it is a sign that England won whilst they were covering the game.

 

[Wombat del combate]

made it sound like a six year olds homework.

Six-year-olds are offended by this.

Jenas is an awful commentator seems horrendously negative like Lawro is/was. He's a reasonable pundit though. Its a shame the BBC use pundit and commentator interchangeably. I dont mind listening to Dublin as a pundit plenty more out there who are more knowledgeable but he's inoffensive but as a pundit he waffles on trying to fill gaps needlessly.

As I said last night, having Neville who is probably the best commentator out there at the moment is a coup for ITV and then not using him for that is as equally stupid.

I wonder if part of his deal with Sky prohibits him from commentating when he goes to ITV as he would be so much better than Dixon, who I used to rate, but he's another who is too negative and doesn't add anything from a tactical perspective.

Matterface is horrendous. He says some ridiculous things, including using "finger" as a verb to describe a save.

He sounds to me like an unfunny Karl Pilkington.

 

[Tredman]

I don't mind Dixon - at least he's not Keown or Jenas

 

[Tony Towner]

I do think Dixon gets tainted by Matterface, I don't mind him. Of the England co comms I prefer him to Jenas, but like so many doesn't really educate me which as the expert you'd hope he could.

Matterface is appalling, but still not as bad as Tyldesley and his supreme smugness, in a weird way ITV have upgraded

 

[YoungWolf]

Dixon was better on BBC I always thought!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The absolute nick of him.

He's released an insane blog today, I'm not promoting it here because frankly, I think I've lost braincells reading it and I'd feel bad if the same happened to you.

I read the blog and still am not quite sure what the fuck he was on about.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Like some weird mix of the Joker and the Penguin. Bet both of them know more about football than he does. I have no idea why he suddenly cast himself as a pundit or why BinSports let him get away with it. Truly atrocious. But fascinating in many ways.

 

[The Bear]

Looks like he's been trying to keep up with Andy Gray in the buffet.

 

[Jabbawolf]

Jason Mohammed - just vacuous hyperbolic fluff.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Yeah, he's a bit annoying.

I do enjoy the evening show with Clare Balding & Alex Scott. However, I may have been influenced by those tight leather trousers Alex Scott was wearing the other day...

BT Sport must think we have missed them

Abstaining from Talksport in the mornings really is beneficial. Seeing lots of Wolves fans getting wound up by Gabby Agbonlahor predicting wolves to go down.
Apparently Franksy has binned off the WM phone in to along with Reago, not that I’d notice as I’ve not listened to it in about a year and half.
