I bet the sky sports girls don't
You're using the wrong add-ons.
Agree. Feel his been playing up to a caricature of himself for the best part of the last decade. Barry Davies always had way more class. John Motson was very good in his prime, but that was a while back, and he looks very tired and fed up now.
Dream team right there!!
2 biggest cunts in commentary and for somehow they get the pick of the games.
No comment. The Rozzers are moments away from our front door and I am desperate to see the Derby Caribo Cup match for free and in English. Stop quoting me as it could get me 12 months

Motson's finest moment.
almost up there with whispering Ted Lowes for those of you watching in black and white the pink ball is just behind the green!

This is hilarious. How have I never heard of this before!
You're supposed to say nothing, I am saying nothing. Class!
Anyone remember Hugh Johns from ITV?
Remember him interviewing Don Revie after an England game where we were shite
He kept trying to make Revie admit that one of his players had a mare
(.Can't remember which one but clearly a large choice available)
All Revie would say was that the full back didn't have a good game but Johns wouldn't let it drop
Revie then lost it saying that if Johns didn't stop making these innuendos then he wouldn't speak to him!
A lot funnier then than it sounds now
Harry would have just said that yes he was rubbish as was the rest of the team
That would have shut him up!
Also remember Guy Lorenzo(I think) on Sky interviewing Gordon Strachan asking him a leading question who promptly had a hissy and tore him a new one!

I liked Motty.
Loved Barry Davies. I remember when he made a return for a one-off on MoTD a few years ago. I grew up with Brian Moore, Barry Davies and John Motson calling pretty much every game I could watch on TV. I feel the effect of the great commentators have on us as fans is greatly unappreciated because they help us recall so many great moments we love to relive in our heads.
Shameless plug: the role commentators play in our football memories motivated me to make my prints (as mentioned on this week's podcast).
I love the Davies commentary that accompanied Gazza's '91 free-kick:
PAUL GASCOIGNE v Woolwich ( FA Cup semi-final digital art print )
That print is brilliant!
Haha you can't beat a good rant
The Norwegian commentators' offering after they beat us in 81 is right up there...
“We are the best in the world! We are the best in the world! We have beaten England 2-1 in football!! It is completely unbelievable! We have beaten England! England, birthplace of giants.
“Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana – we have beaten them all. We have beaten them all!
“Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher, I have a message for you in the middle of the election campaign. I have a message for you: We have knocked England out of the football World Cup.
“Maggie Thatcher, as they say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!”
