Annoying commentators / pundits

Maybe it's just me but it really grips my shit when they refer to the Manchester clubs as "City" and "United". The only people that should be calling them that are people from Manchester.

The other one is when they say "they were denied by the woodwork". No they weren't, they missed

And then of course there's that bloke of Radio Wales that gets all hysterical whenever the opposition are attacking. Anyone would have thought he was a Bolton fan today

Worst one on radio Wales is Simon Davies. He's a jack through and through and in my opinion he should not be allowed to commentate on our games. The worst pundit is Walsh. Another biased Jack. Loves it when we lose. However when Swansea lose he's borderline suicidal. Listening to his post match summary yesterday was hilarious.

Radio Wales is the worst of the lot anyway, extremely amateurish. However the worst for me is John Hardy who appears a fairly light headed chappie who constantly speaks in cliches. The nightmare scenario is when he and Kevin Ratcliffe team up because its like two guys in a pub chatting about past times amid huge dollops of backslapping. They usually forget there's a game being played out in front of them and the listener usually is not aware of proceedings until theres either a goal, sending off or we have the full time whistle! Oh and don't start me on Rod Phillips.

I don't mind Rob Phillips that much. He does know his stuff when it comes to Welsh football. One who has surprised me has been Danny Gabbidon. He does have a very laid back style but he he's been on the nail about most things when co commentating on City games.

Thomas I don't know who was more pissed. Leighton James or the City caller who phoned in wanting Slade out, then said he thinks Slade will get us promoted but then we should sack him for David Moyes. :lol:
