MarkoRaj Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I could be wrong, but I read on Twitter that in the 17 instances of the 3-5-2 being used in the EPL, no team has managed to win - or something along those lines. Hull did on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'd enjoy it a lot more if they just flipped out and got someone crazy as a regular pundit instead of Phil Neville et al. At least there's a bit of entertainment about the show instead of endless dissection of tactics. Multiple pundits just overlap with their points now.Be careful what you wish for.

hoopy1967 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Aye, that was good tonight. Good to see some of the old clips. And yeah, Des didn't look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 And, my god, I don't give a shit what the players say. They're so constricted by their clubs that they never say anything remotely exciting or insightful. This. Seriously, what is the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Absolutely brilliant touch to have to the old graphics for the Crytal Palace/West Ham game. Quality to hear Barry Davies as well. Still a great commentator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I wish Barry Davies could narrate my life. Why is it Crystal Palace can produce beautiful kits in red and blue, and yet Inverness Caley Thistle routinely play in monstrosities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Davies was the first of the 'how dare they send ME to cover such a poor game' commentators. His arrogance opened the door for the likes of Pearce and Green and set the standard for talking down to the audience. Can't stand him. Get the moth balls out and pack him away again asap.

ebbes20silkcut Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I agree, much as I liked Davies, I think he sounded out of touch and dated, Looking back he was probably right to stop when he did, nowadays I like guy Mowbray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larbert_Par Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Barry Davies, IMO, is one of the finest sports broadcasters Britain has produced. Enjoyed hearing him commentate there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly hear how old he is, which is a bit sad. I've always just loved the sound of his voice though, and he's still an excellent commentator in the other sports he covers.

Ludo*1 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I agree, much as I liked Davies, I think he sounded out of touch and dated,Looking back he was probably right to stop when he did, nowadays I like guy Mowbray. Think the whole point of his commentary last night was to have the feel of an old episode of MotD though. I personally like John Motson better. He was always the 'voice of English football' for me. I suspect I'll get a verbal beat down for saying that though as he's not the most likeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I quite like Motson when hes just commentating on highlights, can't stand him over the course of a match when he's got time to ramble on about whatever thought pops into his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
