Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I hate the commentary on Sky. I mute it and take audio from TalkSport/R5 instead.
It's a British thing. Look at the glee and vigour with which the press have gone after stokes
I think there was plenty of inspiration from Barry Davies for Alan Partridge's World Cup Countdown, desk of Sport, on The Day Today, but in a really good way, a kind of warm embrace. The bloke is absolute class.
The fact he was a Spurs fan also makes some of that commentary all the more sweeter. That Gazza free kick against Woolwich will go down as one of my all time favourites.
I thought john Moston s last comantrary is on Sunday, the Arsensl game.
I spend most of my time hating commentators, I can't stand the passion killers on English TV, main culprits tend to be Tildsley, Mowbry, Wilson, Peace & Fletcher (I much prefer radio coms than TV and will often have them on instead especially if it's MacNamara & Godwin)
So where is this waffle taking me, PETER DURY, that's where. I switched over to the Roma game last night and not only was it a terrific game but it was made all the better for Dury's commentary. Our finest commentator, no matter you the team that's playing too, he brings you into the game, takes you into the stadium. Why oh why do we have to suffer with Tildsly and Hoddle bore the shit out of us?

Thought his closing lines about Rome being a city myths was very poetic. I completely agree great commentator.

That was beautiful. I'm on a quayside in Kristiansund delaying my return to the worksite. I can't be arsed. This was just the tonic
Mcmanan done it for me last night I had to mute it what a grade a dickhead he is

Barry Davies was always a class act. I remember him commentating on a UEFA Cup Final, I think it was. Red Star Belgrade were one of the sides as I remember. The game was utter shite as both sides were playing for penalties right from the start. Davies didn't sugar coat the situation at all, just told it like it was, said it was disgraceful. It actually helped to hear the commentator saying that, as opposed to most times where their bullshit just winds you up even more.
