Is he one of BT's key commentators then? He's terrible, possibly the worst I can think of. Much worse than Wilkins. Not very clued in on what's going on in the game, repeats the exact same point dozens of times throughout the game because he can't think of anything else to say and he has a silly accent. Him repeatedly saying exactly the same thing over and over again about Januzaj was oddly reminiscent of him running around in a circle aimlessly half the time he touched the ball for us. He's not even entertainingly bad.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
The 2 minute argument he had with himself about who would be man of the match was interesting.
He is up there with the twat who commentates on Barca games.
I liked the part when Darke asked him about Jones and he said "sorry who are we talking about?".
Forgive him, he's Canadian.
We should do a public service and re-sign him, just so he gets off the telly.
He's fecking boring. His voice annoys me. Although I'm quite sure he fancies Januzaj.
In fairness, didn't Darke suggest he had played with Jones, whilst asking the question?
Anyway, he was awful.
Thats disturbing.
He also looks like Jon Snow.
He's such a miserable and bitter feck isn't he?
Is he ever happy?
Is he ever happy?
North is disappointed.
I didn't think he was that bad.
A few silly comments but there are far worse co commentators out there

Posh mixed up english, canadian and german accent. Never fecking happy and clearly indecisive. He didnt know who Phil Jones was and talked entirely too much.
Just said "1 great season then had treatment that summer...... thats in the past and you look on but its a great club and fans etc"
He's pronounced Januzaj's name differently about sixteen times.
He was fine, there've been many worse pundits (french and arabs included). He did a good job of hiding his hatred for the club
"So.... is Januzaj your man of the match Owen?"
"Well Sevilla were the better team in the first half, and Marino, Perroti all ran around a lot, but United stepped up in the second half"
"...ok?"

It's like someone took all of the negative bits of each country he's from and mashed them into a mega boring hybrid commentator.
He's got the English bitterness, the German sense of humour or lack thereof and the Canadian sense of bewilderment, eh.

Thought they fecking killed him at red wedding. Now we've got to put up with him for longer.
He looks more like Robb Stark, who is of course Jon Snow's brother, which means the GOT casting people are better at their job than Owen Hargreaves is a playing 90 minutes a season, which isn't very difficult admittedly.
Darke was just as bad. He got Hargreaves into a rant about Buttner not having a medal even though he did get a medal.
I thought he was Dwight Yorke for 30 minutes.
Already made a GOT reference before you. feck off Cheesy.
Same here Jake, couldn't believe it when they showed the commentators at half time!His accent is ludicrous.
i'm another one who thought he sounded like Dwight Yorke
He never talked about Adnans lack of pace or not being athletic enough imo.
I too thought he was Yorke.
But feck me, that was quite the train wreck wasn't it?
I mean, what a fecking feat being the most boring man in the world named Owen, while simultaneously not being Michael Owen.

What's this all aboot?
About as good as he was as a player
The mall.
Well he was the one who said Büttner didn't get a medal. He clearly hadn't done his research because just last week there were several articles with quotes from Büttner talking about his medal.
He was pretty bad.
Not sure if it was his first gig though, he might get better with time.

Did he say that? Is he still blaming United for being injured all the time?
