Michael "Arsenal or Chelsea would be walking the league if they had signed Benteke" Owen.

I really like BT sports coverage as I find it rather refreshing compared to the outdated sky coverage, but I just cannot bring myself to watch games on BT sport when Owen is on. I usually stream NBC sports instead, even though the half time analysis is done by an over-excited american who's never played football in his life

Lee Dixon was doing our game yesterday for NBC was pretty decent I thought.

Peter O'Sullivan and Richie Benaud were peerless. These days, Athers and Bumble are both pretty good.

Football? I'm with Barnie Rubble, they all talk too much. But some have agendas, and some have agendas against us. Jon Champion, Craig Burley, Peter Drury, Gary Birtles and last but not least, Guy Mowbray. All twats.

Presenters? Three stand-out weapons, Lauro, Childs and Crooks.

Agree with this, find Athers and Bumble to be good, Hussain is decent too.

i thought he did alright as well
didnt feel like he had anything particularly stellar to add but he wasnt a duffer either

surprisingly I listened to an american color commentator a few weeks back who i hadnt heard before.  he sounded like he made a lot of sense so i cycled back to see who it was

it was Tim Howard

Sam matterface on talksport and ITV.
he does the weekend preview with Colin Murray on Friday mornings and he comes across to me as a bit full of himself
i love listening the preview shows after the weekend and you can see how often they get it totally wrong
