[Football] Champions League 2024/25

La Remontada

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I think you may be in a small group there. He's a really enjoyable listen. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Dreadful witterings about some old baloney back in the day...and in jokes with other commentators. Incredibly boring and hardly ever adds anything of merit. Carries on with his inane gibberings even when in the midst of great move or when a fantastic goal is about to be scored. Just shut up! As soon as I hear his voice I reach for the remote and turn the sound down.

Think you’ll be surprised

No, he's not. And no, he's not.

Well, I LIKE him.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Well, I LIKE him.

And that is fair enough! I have to say my dislike of him commentating does not mean I dislike the man, I think he's decent and in a different situation I would listen.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Well, I LIKE him.

Absolutely fair enough. Personally I can't stand Shearer, Neville, Carragher, Ferdinand, Coisty or Matterfact. I accept its irrational but there we are.

Yeah but c'mon he's still better than Shearer and his weird inflection and tone, and that dreadful **** Drury.

To be honest, I don't like any of them. Love Amazon where it's just the sound of the crowd!

I like listening to him when Scotchland aren't playing. Him commentating on an England Scotchland game is unbearable.

 

[Flounce]

All channels should use this, it’s perfect for me. I can see what’s happening I don’t need to listen to the waffle. It’s bloody brilliant that Amazon have come up with this option. Crowd noise is all I need

So you watch in silence when we play?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Nope!

My French subscription gives me this option, including for all the live Premier League games, absolutely love it

 

[Flounce]

Silencing the commentators is Nirvana

Crowd noise only is f***ing perfect but there is no silence as I am abusing and cheering, much to my wife and the dog’s annoyance.

Sky took over BSB in the eighties. BSB offered an option to turn off the commentary. As soon as they took over, Sky removed the option. They and others, are desperate to talk up a match even if it's rubbish, and also to promote their myriad of other programmes, something I am completely uninterested in.

Onto Europa tonight and possibly big Ange last game in charge depending on result? United already 1 up in their tie

 

[A1X]

Do we need to worry about coefficient with these or can I go back to not feeling guilty at wanting the English sides to lose in Europe?

 

[oldboyroy]

United 2 up and spurs 1 up

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Do we need to worry about coefficient with these or can I go back to not feeling guilty at wanting the English sides to lose in Europe?

Arsenals 1st leg win over Real Madrid sealed the PL getting one of the two extra Champions League spots so no need to worry now and you can laugh at Spurs or United if they crash out.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Really feisty Spuds game, enjoyed it so far.
Going to be a few cards 2nd half.

 

[Eeyore]

I wish we could have been playing United in the coming games. It's clear that the Europa League is all they and Spuds care about.
