Jenas is second only to Alan Smith in the death by moronic boredom stakes.

I get that he's young, good looking, and adds to the diversity.

 

Keep him in the studio then, surely?!

Listening to Jermaine Jenas and a few others you really do pine for the days of when a commentator like David Coleman, Barry Davis , Brian Moore, Gerald Sinstadt and even John Motson used to do the gig totally on their own ….

 

I don’t get why they have to have 2 people commentating these days, it’s the same with other sports too. They end up talking to each other and not you.

Premier Sports coverage of Serie A last season was ace.

 

One person. Talking about the game.

I've always liked how HBO did their boxing coverage.

 

Play by play - Accomplished announcer with a pedigree in other sports, who knows when to step in and step out. Likes the sport, but not necessarily an obsessed nerd

 

Analyst - Current, or recent megastar, who is an obsessed nerd and who the play by play respects too much to say anything overly partial in front of, lest he got pulled up by him.

 

3rd voice- Curmudgeonly 70+ former newspaper boxing beat writer, working class guy who interjects every so often to add to grandeur to the occasion. 3 ex-wifes and very likely has a drinking problem.

 

Judge - Recently retired, wealth of experience, ask for his scorecard at the end of the 4th, 8th and 11th round.

He'd last 5 minutes of his first Spurs commentary before the first spat out ' slack-jawed mong ' saw the phone lines flashing.

That’s about 4min 58secs longer than Tokyo who hates Spurs with a vengeance.

I don't understand why we're being subjected to this.

 

If women are to 'break into' into the men's game, they have to be better than what the men are producing.

 

Like Sian Massey, for example.

 

Gabi Yorath and our Kelly Cates are very good presenters.

 

The "pundits" and commentators are shite. Get rid and stop passing this off as some sort of progression.

 

And while I'm at it, what's with mixing all the online footy news together now!?

 

Are they trying to force us to become interested in women's footy? Like we can't make our own minds up about it!?

 

If I wanted to read about it, I'd fucking Google it. Like anything else.

 

Fucking shite.

There are plenty of good female pundits in this tournament - EH isn’t one of them 

To be "good", you have to at least show up the male dross they have, and no one's done that for me.
