His reaction to the De gea save was a joke. Hardly said a word.
Then the other twat said what a miss.
They can both feck off.

Martin Tyler | Retiring

Interesting timing, this thread. I'm not British but I watch games on sky/BT mostly and yesterday I said to my wife that I was absolutely baffled how come there is no new names among commentators season after season.
Surely there are some young(er) passionate and articulate people who happen to have a good voice.

90 year old JR would still be better than the commentary from WWE
Agree with you on McCoist and Tyldesley. I thought they were excellent during the euro.
Tyler still has it that's clear. I think personally he struggles with the modern game a touch. He's also assistant manager at Woking (I met him last season funnily enough) and balancing several jobs is difficult.
In other news, I had Oli Mcburnies brother on co-commentary today.
Tyler is assistant manager at Woking? I didn't know that!
Did you find out anything about McBurnie assaulting that kid?
Haha no mate. I wouldn't have asked even if I remembered to be honest. Nothing to do with Xander and it wouldn't have been fair to put him on the spot.
He was utterly cringe-worthy during Agueros last game for City last season. Tyler was just waiting for him to score so he could come out with his "AGUUUEEEEROOOOOOOO" line.
He’s just a sad old fanny. Clive Tyldesley gets dipped by ITV for same and he’s better.
I kind of want him to go down in flames, like a video comes out of him doing PCP and getting pegged by a Love Island contestant.
He should retire years ago but guess thats not in his plans. Also i find him fake in a lot of situation, sometimes i think he plans certain stuff to say for probably some fecked up reason.
WTF was up with his depressing voice during the Spurs goals yesterday and his excitement at the Newcastle ones. It was pathetic.
It's a sky thing. They had decided it was the Newcastle show - Spurs winning went against their narrative they decided to create.
Just look at how many times they showed the bloody CEO/his daughter/Staveley in the crowd after every shot/miss/goal etc.
They're desperate for Newcastle to come in and shake things up.
He even said something along the lines of Newcastle have won the owner lottery, just forgetting all of the human rights stuff in the process.
I think a lot of older UTD fans probably turned on him after his infamous "AGUUUEEEEROOOOOOOO" commentary.
He absolutely adores the narrative more than the actual football
Yep, absolutely loving all the lads dressed up like Saudi's etc. It's all just a big theatre to them, the more noise the better.
Was quite funny to sees Spurs piss on their parade
And it's live...
Gray was good to be fair. I personally hate what I assume is the "modern way" of commentating which involves a crib sheet of about 30 useless statistics that are nothing to do with the game that is under way, and more just filler, BT sport are horrible for this.
What is it with these commentators and staying on for longer than they should? First Motson now Tyler.
I will say though that Tyler outside the Sky filter is more tolerable. Sky seem determined to make football into some kind of soap opera, theatre, superhero battle shit and think they’re going to be big time TV producers and win Emmys or something… kinda like WWE.

Oh for the days when commentators just commentated. Too many now want to give their opinions, that is what your co-commentator is for. Although some of them are worse than useless as well.
I'd rather have Tyler than that monotone cnut they have on MUTV. Some people don't have the voice for commentary, it just doesn't work.
I find that woman one on match of the day annoying too, not because she's a woman, but her voice just comes off as wrong for commentary, like she's trying too hard to be more "blokey".

Totally agree with those sentiments. Darren Fletcher on BT never ever shuts the f*** up. He must have pages and pages of stats to reel off. Others revel in the issues at United. The rugby commentator, the late Bill Mclaren, used to say a good commentator is like a good referee, you don’t notice them. Fletcher is one of the reasons, along with incessant drumming, I cancelled all the sports channels and I don’t miss them at all. Cricket is going the same way.
Sky changed that when the PL came in. I have been watching re runs of The Big Match on BT, one commentator a game and they all manage to get the facts across, what was happening. Sky just employed more and more to justify their subscriptions. Why not employ less pundits etc and lower the subscriptions.
Barry Davies will always be king.
Brian Moore for me.
Also an option.
Barry Davies, host of nauseating sycophantic BBC “Liverpool into Europe” of my youth? Not for me.
He's fine. It's more that people are becoming bored of him than it is him becoming boring with age.
It's natural when it comes to commentators. We have seen examples of great commentators turn into shells of themsleves as they age, perhaps because they lose the excitement about the sport they're commentating on, as they age.
Marv Albert (in basketball), Jim Ross (in choreographed/professional wrestling), Joe Rogan (in the UFC) are all examples. Peter Drury isn't himself either, these days.
Wish they'd replace him with the Rob Palmer who commentated the Spanish football on Sky.
Don't remember any of that. His commentary on maradona is what sticks with me.
"Well you have to say that's magnificent"...
I'd take him over any of the sterile twats now.
This. Has always been his problem just shows more now that he’s older and can’t be arsed to try and balance it out
"Look at his face!" When Hereford scored a screamer against Spurs in the fa Cup years ago.
No one is more annoying than matterface though he is awful.
Twatterface is almost the worst, Jim 'everything is shit unless Liverpool do it' Beglin wins that award.
Get red Clive back in. Can United score, they always score... goosebumps
I've just fixed the Bill McLaren bit for you.
He is so fecking miserable, the most negative cnut out there. Impossible to listen to at times.
Just Google his injury. It makes up for it.
Haha I know who you meant and have thought the same.
