Can't stand Jim Beglin for the same reasons as everyone has said. Lawro because he seems to constantly make cheeky,condescending,patronising,snidey comments. Adrian Chiles,don't need to explain,how he has still got a job with ITV I do not know. Why has he got a job presenting and commenting on champions league games?! Hes a west brom fan! They are to the champions league what Rooney is theoretical physics. He shouldn't be near a CL game. I agree with everyone I've seen you all mention like Clark Carlisle so trying to think of a couple I've not seen mentioned. Michael Owen is one,his commentary would put you to sleep. That droning monotone voice adding nothing new or insightful. He doesn't commentate on prem games,only La Liga games but I can't stand Gerry Armstrong. He couldn't get his head further up Ronaldo and Real Madrid's arse if he tried. He doesn't even attempt to call games down the middle. He'd be my first choice to remove from tv. One that luckily and thankfully you don't get in England is Rob Mclean. Any reds living up here in Scotland will know exactly why I'm including him. Honest to god he makes Chiles look the life and soul of the party. Mr absolute zero personality. Luckily for the rest of the UK he only does Scottish games and if there's anyone tuning into Scottish games for the first time won't be wanting to come back,yes the quality of football is dreadful but he does nothing to improve it or make it seem interesting/exciting.
As for ones I do like. Neville,hated him as a player but think he's great as a pundit. Carra,obviously. One of few ex players that doesn't rip into us at any given opportunity and I think him and Neville are great working together. Geoff Shreeves is another I like. Think all the guys on soccer Saturday are brilliant. I used to not be able to stand Souness but think he's got a lot better this season. One I find splits opinion is Jamie Redknapp,I think he's one of the best. Says it exactly as it is. Gordon Strachan is another I really enjoy listening to,you can tell he loves football and could talk about it all day. Savage is great as well and one last one that comes across well everytime I've seen him on tv is John Hartson.
Totally agree about Gordon Strachan, I love when he's on, his dry wit and insights.
My most detested commentator without a doubt is the: nasal, shout for no good reason, Clive Tyldesley. He honestly destroys watching the champions league for me, it's horrible.
the combo of him and Andy Townsend is a stinkfest of the highest order.
That brummy off itv is cringy to F**k with his constant bad jokes and chummy bumchum banter with roy keane, needs the sack pronto
Don't know all the commentators names, only the ones that spoil the match.
That prat off Motd, the shouty one Jonathan Pearce, he does my tits in and he doesn't suit football commentary.
Oh yea: Mark Lawrenson What an embarrassing beaut he turned into. Can't stand his effeminate whinging and he gets away with murder.
Here's one for you off biensports Ray Hudson, totally takes the piss, some people may find his brand of; whatever the F**k it is- entertaining, think it's an insult myself.
