Radio WM had Dele Adebola on a couple of weeks back, FFS he has the vocabulary of a 6 year old. Isn't that every pretty much every pundit though? I guess they make up for it with their football neoligisms like "in and around" or "he hit that almost too well" etc. Like Stephen Warnock or Andy Townsend talk so slow because they only have about 30 words they know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Stuart Pearce on talksport. Never has one man spouted such nonsense -and the hero worship from folk of that era and presenters because he used to show PASHUN and shouted a bit. Man put a goalkeeper up front in a PL game. His opinion on football is null and void. Forever. His opinion is worth less than Brexit Barry down the boozer who still calls it the Coca Cola Cup and still thinks "the first one is free" and "get it forward" is the main sum of his football knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is annoying but I don't mind low block as much as other instances because at the very least it is less syllables than the standard "defending deep" and it's at least in English. The one that boils my piss the most is gegenpressing. Just call it counter pressing, a random German word shoehorned in just adds confusion. As far as I can tell it is the equivalent of calling the left back the links back for no reason other than being pretentious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Why does every Villa game on TV make the commentators say the same stuff from the ghost goal vs Sheffield Unitedto staying up on the last day of last season and also our transfer spend since promotion Nothing original to mention though have recently pushed the agenda that maybe Grealish will want to leave soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 This guy Ahmed Farwud on NBC makes my brain hurt. Clearly has no foundational knowledge of English football and is defending these Big 6 owners despite the flawless arguments from the 2 Robbies.

maqroll Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Generally, I think NBC does a good job with their Premier League programming. I like the 2 Robbies, Lowe. Higginbotham is decent. Arlo decent. You can tell he forces his enthusiasm on some goal calls and other commentary. I like Graham Le Saux. Dixon not so much.
