Adrian Chiles brings you the coverage complaints thread

[sledger]

Phil Neville is an absolutely horrible commentator. In the Michael Owen bracket, he's actually that bad.

Henry the only pundit on the BBC last night who was any good. Shearer just talking bollocks as usual, and Ferdinand is just a dullard.

One of the people I was watching the game with yesterday was adamant that it was Michael Owen.

Think Ferdiand is actually decent though.

For much of yesterday I thought it was Michael Owen as well actually. It was only when his name flashed up on the screen at the beginning of the second half I realised who it was.

I'm perhaps being a bit harsh on Ferdinand, as I zoned out/turned off the TV for much of the time he was talking. The bits I caught though seemed to involve him spouting the usual "dig deep"-isms.

 

[Pothas]

Dire from Chiles there, and he is wearing shorts.

 

[Pothas]

Oh dear Clark Carlisle. I don't care if you don't know much about every team or player but don't talk about how you have watched Jackson Martinez 'a lot' this season and then say he is from Ecuador.

 

[sledger]

If Glenn Hoddle is on ITV now...does that mean he isn't going to be on Sky anymore?

If so, I think I can just about stomach this...

 

[Pothas]

Doubt it, probably just a World Cup only deal.

Well, we can but hope I suppose.

Also, am I the only one who finds the "Brassilllll Braaaaaasssiiiillllllll" thing really annoying? It's just so crap.

 

[Pothas]

It is awful but I will randomly be repeating it for the next few weeks, just like the Wayyybuuu Afriiiccaaa thing they had in 2010

**** off Robbie Savage.

 

[BoyBrumby]

**** off Robbie Savage.

Ha, quite. TBF to Henry he's basically said as much in not so many words a couple of times already.

Rio wants to learn another adjective besides "unbelievable" as well. Hack.

 

[Furball]

Dear BBC,

Please educate your ****wit commentators as to how the goal-line technology works.

Sincerely,

Everyone in the world with a working pair of eyes and more than 1 brain cell.

 

[Furball]

Seriously, how the **** is Pearce not getting this?

 

[grecian]

Pearce is making a right idjit of himself, someone needs to "have a word".

Mind you it won't beat Sam Matterface's hilarious Ron Burgundy joke earlier. The man is truly Alan Partridge, can't believe he's knobbing Natalie Swayer.

 

[Pothas]

What they going to say in the studio?

'Sorry our commentator is just ****ing stupid'

 

[Pothas]

Mind you it won't beat Sam Matterface's hilarious Ron Burgundy joke earlier. The man is truly Alan Partridge, can't believe he's knobbing Natalie Swayer.

Refusing to believe this is true.

 

[grecian]

Refusing to believe this is true.

Afraid so, they're married.

That'as pretty Partridge that, umm, accident.

Yet of course this is the ultimate.

 

[Furball]

BBC seemingly completely unaware that Zlatan was born in Sweden.

Yes that was brilliant. Obviously just saw a Martinez on the bench and thought it was him.

Such an uncommon surname for people from that geographic region too...
