What the hell is wrong with you?
Clive Tydesley replaced as main ITV commentator

Sam Twatterface and Lee Dixon are up there with the worst commentary pairing ever. Actually found myself mimicking Lee Dixon like an immature little school boy his quips were that pathetic, and i just wish Matterface wasn't so fecking obsessed with ruining every key moment with over-reactive hyperbole and metaphors. They're insufferable.
Clive definitely has some cringe moments in him but his commentary feels more natural than most.
The commentary prize for quoting the obvious goes to….
Hope he takes McCoist with him

They pine for 'Big Ron'.
I don’t get how people don’t understand this was sarcasm/irony. He was fuming about how slow Southgate was to change things.
Indeed. I thought it was funny.
I'm assuming the reference there is that dianne abbot is just as bad as Aluko at counting. At least I hope that's what the OP was referring to
They literally have zero chemistry together, quite often Dixon would flat out disagree or shit all over a comment Matterface had just made and be very snarky in response to him. (Could be just because they were watching England about to go out but if you cant be neutral dont do commentary).
He looks like the sort who thinks he's mates with everyone but everyone thinks he's a tit.
Unless the box they're ticking is "some dickhead who looks like an estate agent and drives a leased Audi A4" I'm not sure what you mean.
Sam Twatterface is fecking appalling. Worse commentator I’ve ever heard, I’ve started watching on mute.

A face you wouldn't get tired of punching
I had to go out for twenty minutes during the match yesterday so was listening to Five Live on the radio. I think it was John Murray, with Joe Hart and someone else as pundit. It was a real breath of fresh air compared to Matterface and Dixon and a much fairer assessment of the game. They actually gave some well deserved credit to Slovakia, but correctly identified that they were tiring and the pressure was building, which it was. England had a goal disallowed, hit the post, and were starting to dominate. Clearly England didn't play well or click but they were also not as dreadful as the tv lot were presenting. There seems to be an underlying thought that England are an amazing team, despite really not having played well for ages, and they also seem to think the lower nations will just roll over, when it is one of the biggest games in their history.
How Dixon ever got a co comms gig I'll never know. Top of the "clearly doesn't want to be there" list post early Lawro.
Really uncomfortable, two people only being linked because of their skin colour, with the poster clearly having negative views of both.
Punting him when your main commentator is Sam Matterface just makes no sense to me. Tyldsley is at least very professional, Matterface is more interested in trying to be a comedian, which he isn’t very good at either.
