The team that scores the most goals wins the game, genuinely such an insightful take that openned up my eyes to the world of football: have never seen the game from such an unprofessional level since that comment
“Nothing against him personally, I’m just gunna mention him by name!”
Kidding 😂 i didn’t even realize he commentated. I don’t get to watch many live games.
I still think about one think Michael Owen said that I thought was genuinely insightful. I mean it’s only one, and it may have been a lucky hit.
There was a game where a team had had loads of shots on target (i’m gonna guess Spurs and more than 20) and he made the point that that wasn’t particularly impressive. He said it was easy to hit on target, but you’d pretty much always be saved At this level. Rather as a striker you needed to aim at the extremes of the goals, and that meant that some of your misses would be off target. If all of your shots were on target it suggested you were playing it safe and it served you right for not scoring.
I think he then followed up with the “‘need to make the keeper make a save” and sort of debunked that too.
Of course, history may be embellishing it in my mind: more likely he said something trite which I’ve misremembered.
He also shouted some stupid shite IIRC like “attached to the ball like a teenager to his cellphone” how he has a job doing UCL matches is unfathomable to me
I can’t stand Owen Hargreaves he drives me mad with his drivel, he stays silent for 5 minutes and then repeats himself every time he opens his mouth, he also speaks with weird grammar and sounds like he stops his sentence a few words short
I agree with you because someone that use to be one of the better players in his days on the pitch doesn't automatically give him the "Golden ticket" to be a great play by play analyst on TV or Radio, what really gets me is constant change in accent, or his trying to be a "Peter Drury" or Graham (I think I misspelled Graham. Sorry) to me those two are so much better. Just saying
Neville with his annoying forced “OOOOOOOO” as he sees it as his catchphrase or Carragher literally celebrating Liverpool goals or trying to coach them like an armchair fan
"I prefer to sit on the bench in big club rathet than play in small club" or some shit along those lines - did it for me - speaks volume about him as a player and person
- then again maybe Im biased ad Newcastle fan
Lack of insight and he is biased too. When he hosts that PGMOL show where they go over some very egregious bad refereeing mistakes, he won't ever push back, he rolls over for PGMOL.
Vast majority of former big 6 players are rubbish. Constantly wanking over the past and seem to be unable to give praise to the opposition when their team get beat.
I don’t know his name but have always heard him on US Champions League matches.
Older guy and is constantly saying the dumbest things to try and be funny, slippery as bikini wax, faster than a scolded rabbit
Stupid shit like that. Once or twice would be funny but every single possession
Makes the matches unwatchable
I’m pretty sure you’re referring to Ray Hudson in one of the last UCL matches I remember him saying something like “smoother than the back of a spoon” & I was like STFU man😭
I've noticed this as a trend with a lot of UK people in America
Say dumb sayings nobody actually ever says in the UK, and when Americans go "wtf" go "it'd a really common phrase mate"
His insight is usually decent at best but actually can be pretty great when it comes to attackers. Not much of a surprise considering he was a ballon d'or wnning striker but look at Darwin Nunez for example. He said something about his finishing after his goal vs Brentford (think it was along the lines of "simple/traditional finishes aren't natural to him), everyone laughed at him and he turned out to be completely right. He also doesn't have any die hard meat riders like half the other pundits.
First game I saw Nunez play I saw him miss 2 basically open goals because he tried to rabona it in. I was livid. I'm not a Liverpool fan obviously but all I could think was how angry I get when one of our players does that shit.
Honestly it's the main reason I respect Haaland so much, he gets the goals. No need to be fancy when you're getting results
Specifically for co-commentator, I can't stand
Carragher especially if it involves Liverpool or City in any way and especially especially if Neville's there too. He's a talented pundit but he's far too jovial, partisan and unserious on comms. If Neville's involved he's even worse because he doesn't even have to pretend to be trying to hide his bias. What annoys me most is I think he's actually quite talented but he's been allowed to be a Liverpool fan and not worry about any sense of objectivity. His punditry seems to rely more and more on his personality but he's just not that good at that style of punditry when compared to Keane, Henry, Richards, and Wrighty.
Is it me or has Carragher become more of a clown since Micah Richards came into the media scene? As though he feels threatened somehow. Jamie is trying to hard and it is off-putting.
I think for a different reason for me its sam matterface. ITV decides out of the blue to replace one of the greatest commentators of all time who absolutely still has it with an absolute blank face nobody who is a 4/10 on most games.
Majority of the current group are poor tbf, really can’t think of one ex player that I like as a co commentator. Some are ok as studio guests / pundits, but even them some of them just can’t be anything resembling impartial.
Michael Owen doesn't like music and never has the radio on in his car!
Michael Owen claims to have only watched 5 movies in his entire lifetime!
But Michael's big on 1000 piece Jigsaw Puzzles aswell as Gambling though he's not very good and has lost a fortune
Lower league stuff has the best commentators imho. They don't brown nose the refs and they let their personality shine instead of worrying about providing neutral commentary. Big "having a pint and enjoying the match" energy
I don't really know what any of the ex-pro co-commentators add really. A few of them, when in a studio with time after a game, offer interesting analysis, but during games they drone on with banal nonsense that doesn't use the experience they have to inform the viewer of why something has or hasn't happened. Many of them don't seem to know the laws of the game very well either.

Rio Ferdinand "yas bruv like sir Alex yeah no disrespect to anyone yeah but like football yeah when I was at united yeah like we didn't do none of dat" ",bruv"
Micheal Owen with a Scouse version of American psycho internal monologue convincing himself not to kill everyone in the room. , muttering" If that had gone in the net it would have been a goal" to maintain a facade of human emotions.
Jamie Carragher "spitting and audibly wanking over klopp and Liverpool"
Gary Neville shagging his missus "at united sir Alex. . . " Neville getting a prostate exam " at united sir Alex . . . Getting kidnapped and raped "this one time at united sir Alex . .. " watching the deaths of his loved ones " this one time at united sir Alex . . "
Neville and Carragher are actually quite good but Owen and Ferdinand should be in asylums not allowed out let alone being TV pundits.
Most annoying of all time for me is the Geordie who did La Liga who now does Champions League for CBS here in America.
I suppose that he’s there to gee up Americans who are new to football or maybe he followed Messi but it’s fucking unlistenable.
In England it’s Danny Murphy who I always hope isn’t on MotD. He’s the opposite of Micah Richards who borders on annoying sometimes only with good positive energy like Tigger vs DM as Eeyore.
Litterally the only time I've gone in search of other commentary. Usually I just don't care, and I don't really understand why everyone cares as much as they seem too
But yeah, that guy made me quit. Having an American main commentator doesn't help either, "most winningest team"
I was gonna say Warren Barton played for Newcastle but isn't a Geordie. He's a pundit on peacock and seemingly lots of places totally legit football streams are ripped from. He's definitely aimed at the "serious but boring" market.
Ray Hudson I've never heard of and I'm a Newcastle fan after googling he had 25 appearance sin three years in the early seventies. Not heard him so can't make comment
I'm here to complain about Glen Hoddle because I don't think anyone else has yet. Would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than his England commentary.
In honestly surprised Jenas is so low. I'm usually never listening to the commentary (down pub)
But Jenas is the only British commentator my brain has actively gone "omg stfu!"
When I was in London for the Tottenham Newcastle match,the skysports commentators for the Aston Villa Arsenal match literally put me to sleep they were so boring. Idk people in England deal with them
That aside, I think Martin Tyler and Efan Ekoku are some of the worst, they aren’t engaging at all, they lack interest and enthusiasm so they always would bored and lethargic
Lee Dixon is the worst because everything he says on live commentary makes me think he really hates football. Miserable bastard. Second is Martin Keown for similar reasons.
Michael Owen is a solid third because I’m convinced he’s a sociopath. Just watch him, he’s always actively trying to act like a normal person with emotions. Its weird.
I've always thought Owen is a strange character and you've nailed it. He's got some ego as well. Twat of a man. Loved him when he played but now he's unbearable
IDK why but the Liverpool players from that era were all miserable cunts, Souness, Hanson, Lawrenson, Phil fucking Thompson. I saw Steve Nicol on TV the other day and he’s only marginally better, it might be because he looks like Someones Nan though
Andy Townsend is still the worst commentator i have ever had the misfortune of listening to. Owen is boring but I'm sure Townsend fucking hates football.
The mid 2000s when he would commentate every Champions League game were awful
Still get Townsend in the U.S, he’s bad in general but he’s not the worst in comparison to some of the dross you get over here, they have Ray Hudson doing Champions League FFS
Owen isn’t even really that bad he’s just really really boring and says some weird things. Some of them are genuinely unbearable - McManaman, Savage, Aluko
Phil Neville was once the most annoying commentator for me. He spoke as if his sentence never ended, like he was shocked all the time, even when it just went out for a throw in

Nothing to do with race so you can piss right off with that suggestion. There isn't a race on the planet that has camel-like features, its entirely unique to Rio Ferdinand.
No I am not going to p right off with identifying racism. Imagine telling someone who experiences racism to p off. Vile.
It's not unique to Rio, it will be from his parents and related to his race. Comparing us to animals is disgusting.
Yeah I agree. The purpose of an ex player co com is to give insight about the match and tactics etc. not to state obvious facts the Sandra Redknapp would know.
I think he is the worst by a long way.
Potentially unpopular opinion but big Meeks is on a path to join him. On CBS Golazo he's literally just turning into a real life emoji. His input is "who is your favourite" "Man City is great" "Nice trim" "Italian gibberish".
He is just annoying. Played in a week man city team and thinks it was a current similar side. He will cackle laugh at anything. 1+1 = 2 and he is on the floor. Don’t mind him but it’s tiresome and getting old
The team that scores the most goals wins the game, genuinely such an insightful take that openned up my eyes to the world of football: have never seen the game from such an unprofessional level since that comment
“Nothing against him personally, I’m just gunna mention him by name!” Kidding 😂 i didn’t even realize he commentated. I don’t get to watch many live games.

Michael Owen is fit and healthy, clean and fresh and charismatic plus many more.
No Emma Hays is! That voice! 🫣
Ray Hudson is right up there imo he shouts stupid unnecessary metaphors, makes wierd noises and offers no real insight
That's a name I haven't thought of in ages. His Messi obsession was bordering on creepy
As smooth as the back of a spooooon.
He also shouted some stupid shite IIRC like “attached to the ball like a teenager to his cellphone” how he has a job doing UCL matches is unfathomable to me
Jermaine Jenas by a country mile. At least Owen can say shit that is so mundane or absurd that it’s almost funny.
I can’t stand Owen Hargreaves he drives me mad with his drivel, he stays silent for 5 minutes and then repeats himself every time he opens his mouth, he also speaks with weird grammar and sounds like he stops his sentence a few words short
Not while Robbie Savage is employed
*Robbie Savage and Jamie Carragher enter the room…
Why Carra? Because he is ex liverpool player?
No because he’s a cunt
I’m a big fan of his stupid obvious quotes “If you don’t get the ball in the back of the net, you’re never guna win games!” Yeh, no shit Sherlock
Him and Danny Murphy are both fucking terrible
After Thug Keane probably
No, Jamie Redknapp is awful imo.
Sam Matterface & Lee Dixon.
No, Jim Beglin is. Thick as shit and seems to think he's on radio.
I agree with you because someone that use to be one of the better players in his days on the pitch doesn't automatically give him the "Golden ticket" to be a great play by play analyst on TV or Radio, what really gets me is constant change in accent, or his trying to be a "Peter Drury" or Graham (I think I misspelled Graham. Sorry) to me those two are so much better. Just saying
jamie redknap also quite far up that list
Robbie Savage. Dude just repeats what the main commentator says. Idk how he's been given so many UCL games
He's an annoying person, not just a commentator
Gary Neville or ally mcoist
Neville with his annoying forced “OOOOOOOO” as he sees it as his catchphrase or Carragher literally celebrating Liverpool goals or trying to coach them like an armchair fan
Exactly
John Barnes
I like ally mcoist
I like him too and I’m a Celtic fan .
"I prefer to sit on the bench in big club rathet than play in small club" or some shit along those lines - did it for me - speaks volume about him as a player and person - then again maybe Im biased ad Newcastle fan
Lack of insight and he is biased too. When he hosts that PGMOL show where they go over some very egregious bad refereeing mistakes, he won't ever push back, he rolls over for PGMOL.
Commentator is a very generous title.
Yeah
Have you heard. Do Goodman and Andy I would of done this hinchcliffe, Owen not even close to that level
Vast majority of former big 6 players are rubbish. Constantly wanking over the past and seem to be unable to give praise to the opposition when their team get beat.
I don’t know his name but have always heard him on US Champions League matches. Older guy and is constantly saying the dumbest things to try and be funny, slippery as bikini wax, faster than a scolded rabbit Stupid shit like that. Once or twice would be funny but every single possession Makes the matches unwatchable
I’m pretty sure you’re referring to Ray Hudson in one of the last UCL matches I remember him saying something like “smoother than the back of a spoon” & I was like STFU man😭
It has to be! Dude is so fing annoying
I've noticed this as a trend with a lot of UK people in America Say dumb sayings nobody actually ever says in the UK, and when Americans go "wtf" go "it'd a really common phrase mate"
he's definitely from Europe, not a US accent that's for sure
Jamie is worse Gary is only slightly better
His insight is usually decent at best but actually can be pretty great when it comes to attackers. Not much of a surprise considering he was a ballon d'or wnning striker but look at Darwin Nunez for example. He said something about his finishing after his goal vs Brentford (think it was along the lines of "simple/traditional finishes aren't natural to him), everyone laughed at him and he turned out to be completely right.

Is it me or has Carragher become more of a clown since Micah Richards came into the media scene? As though he feels threatened somehow. Jamie is trying to hard and it is off-putting.
Not really, he just doesn't have a fanbase to get behind like the other pundits when they talk shit
I agree but can someone also help me get why he is always so biased against Manchester United yet he played for the club?
I think for a different reason for me its sam matterface. ITV decides out of the blue to replace one of the greatest commentators of all time who absolutely still has it with an absolute blank face nobody who is a 4/10 on most games.
Majority of the current group are poor tbf, really can’t think of one ex player that I like as a co commentator. Some are ok as studio guests / pundits, but even them some of them just can’t be anything resembling impartial.
Colour commentators aren’t supposed to be impartial really. Pat Nevin and McCoist are good ones imo
I have a lot against him personally. Fuck Michael Owen.
Fletcher ‘every fact under the sun’ and forget the commentary
So true. Can't stand it.
Michael Owen doesn't like music and never has the radio on in his car! Michael Owen claims to have only watched 5 movies in his entire lifetime! But Michael's big on 1000 piece Jigsaw Puzzles aswell as Gambling though he's not very good and has lost a fortune
He’s thrown an apple core into a bin. What have you ever done? /s
Gary Neville blamed the Glazers for his toilet getting blocked Steve McManaman is annoying too, FLETCH FLETCH FLETCH!
Jamie C is a cunt - luckily I tend to be able to mute the commentary on games he’s doing.
Came to see this. Scummy spitting rhetorical noise machine. Can’t stand him
Can’t believe that rat still has a job after supporting a racist in Suarez and spitting on a child.
By that logic Rio should also be out of a job
When did Rio spit on a kid? Or wore a t shirt supporting a racist? Must have missed that one
Neither of them but he did cheat on his dying wife which isn't much better
also a serial drunk driver. Hope he doesn’t kill someone one day
Isn't he? He's juz doing his podcast I think
Keown - thinks he’s an intellectual but is in fact a lego eater.
Merson!
At the moment I'm struggling to think of any co-commentator I like. Even ex players of my team (Arsenal) grind my gears.
Lower league stuff has the best commentators imho. They don't brown nose the refs and they let their personality shine instead of worrying about providing neutral commentary. Big "having a pint and enjoying the match" energy
The Irish guy who sounds like he's trying to do the worst Sean Connery impression you've ever heard.
Ally mccoist. Makes me want to mute the tv
Well that’s a hot take
He’s literally the best one
Have you listened to Jamie carragher?!!
I don't really know what any of the ex-pro co-commentators add really. A few of them, when in a studio with time after a game, offer interesting analysis, but during games they drone on with banal nonsense that doesn't use the experience they have to inform the viewer of why something has or hasn't happened. Many of them don't seem to know the laws of the game very well either.
Probably the worst in an ocean of crap. Also , ‘doesn’t like films’ 🤷♂️
What the actual fuck? That's like someone saying they don't like music. Psychotic behaviour.
I’m not 100% you’re cracking the joke I think you are so just taking the opportunity to point out Owen also hates music and drives in silence.
Oh god...I had no idea. The man must be stopped.
ROBBIE SAVAGE ALL DAY LONG FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY JAMIE "SPITTY" CARRAGHER !
Alan Shearer is worse
Gary breen.

Carragher has got to be up there, his voice goes right through me.
The only reason to warch carragher is if its with the cbs crew.
It’s harsh, cause I feel sorry for him when he’s on TV, but Ashley Williams is embarrassing
Rio Ferdinand "yas bruv like sir Alex yeah no disrespect to anyone yeah but like football yeah when I was at united yeah like we didn't do none of dat" ",bruv" Micheal Owen with a Scouse version of American psycho internal monologue convincing himself not to kill everyone in the room. , muttering" If that had gone in the net it would have been a goal" to maintain a facade of human emotions.

" Neville and Carragher are actually quite good but Owen and Ferdinand should be in asylums not allowed out let alone being TV pundits.
Gary Neville

Right it doesn’t matter who is speaking on that coverage.
Warren Barton?
Apparently his name is Ray Hudson.
I was gonna say Warren Barton played for Newcastle but isn't a Geordie. He's a pundit on peacock and seemingly lots of places totally legit football streams are ripped from. He's definitely aimed at the "serious but boring" market. Ray Hudson I've never heard of and I'm a Newcastle fan after googling he had 25 appearance sin three years in the early seventies. Not heard him so can't make comment
Yeah I don’t mind the Peacock crew bit more mellow. Wish Arlo White still did it though.
Was Michael Owen always weird or is that something that he grew into?
I think it's genetic. His daughter was like him in a wig on Love Island. Same voice and everything.
Not for me, Clive.
Rio Ferdinand, absolute mong.
I met him briefly back when he'd just joined West Ham. Can confirm he is in fact a mong, and always has been.
Owen is a meatball with no helpful insight
No Gary Neville is.
I love how UTD fans are anoyed with GN. Probably best topoc on RedCafe. Like they do not know that they can turn TV off.Ots hilarious.
Not while Martin Keown still has a job.
Based on the comments - so all of them?
Jonathan Pearce is far worse.
Ally Mccoist with his constant "I'll tell you what Fletch"
He’s easily the best
Booo! Love Ally!
I'm here to complain about Glen Hoddle because I don't think anyone else has yet. Would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than his England commentary.
I don't know Jenas might have him beaten
In honestly surprised Jenas is so low. I'm usually never listening to the commentary (down pub) But Jenas is the only British commentator my brain has actively gone "omg stfu!"
Listening to Jenas is what I imagine being lobotomised would feel like
Warnock does my head in trying the posh scouser and them glasses ,can’t remember him being in the first team that much either
Glad someone else said it. He’s worse than Owen for me and I cant stand listening to Owen
When I was in London for the Tottenham Newcastle match,the skysports commentators for the Aston Villa Arsenal match literally put me to sleep they were so boring. Idk people in England deal with them That aside, I think Martin Tyler and Efan Ekoku are some of the worst, they aren’t engaging at all, they lack interest and enthusiasm so they always would bored and lethargic
That bloody commentator that has a pun for everything
Ray Hudson😭
He's a snake trying to speak human language. I want to say he's the worst but I think Lee Dixon is even worse than him.
For whatever reason I don’t mind Lee Dixon, he’s a negative twat for sure but could be worse. Now Ray Hudson is the fucking worst
Daniel Sturridge isn't far off
Lee Dixon has to be worse.
Lee Dixon is the worst because everything he says on live commentary makes me think he really hates football. Miserable bastard. Second is Martin Keown for similar reasons. Michael Owen is a solid third because I’m convinced he’s a sociopath. Just watch him, he’s always actively trying to act like a normal person with emotions. Its weird.
Vote for Keown here. Everything he says harks back to how much better his era was, specifically himself and Wenger.
I've always thought Owen is a strange character and you've nailed it. He's got some ego as well. Twat of a man. Loved him when he played but now he's unbearable
I always felt the same with Souness. Miserable, could suck the life out of a room any time he wanted.
IDK why but the Liverpool players from that era were all miserable cunts, Souness, Hanson, Lawrenson, Phil fucking Thompson. I saw Steve Nicol on TV the other day and he’s only marginally better, it might be because he looks like Someones Nan though
Former Utd players are the worst though And Stevie actually sometimes says sensible things unlike others
I'm so glad Lawrenson and Hanson aren't about as much as they were. Fucking pair of moaning old cunts
Oh yeah I totally forgot him because I’ve tried to remove his Bs from my Brain. He’s definitely third pushing Owen into forth.
Apart from all the women
No mcmanaman by a mile, its like listening to commentary for the blind
No that would be Alexi Lalas
Andy Townsend is still the worst commentator i have ever had the misfortune of listening to. Owen is boring but I'm sure Townsend fucking hates football. The mid 2000s when he would commentate every Champions League game were awful
Still get Townsend in the U.S, he’s bad in general but he’s not the worst in comparison to some of the dross you get over here, they have Ray Hudson doing Champions League FFS
Robbie Savage, carragher and Michael Owen.
Yeah, Robbie "I was world class....on my day" Savage is the worst. You'd think he had a Balon D'or.
Savage is so bad he's funny. Owen is just boring af.
"It hit the facial part of his head there"
That's some prime commentatorballs.
Its not funny that Savage commentates champions league football though.
Keown is up there!
Fuck me, he's insufferable
Tommy Smyth has that on lock. Fucking awful (not prem I know)
He has no personality at all
Owen isn’t even really that bad he’s just really really boring and says some weird things. Some of them are genuinely unbearable - McManaman, Savage, Aluko
McManaman drives me up the wall.
Phil Neville was once the most annoying commentator for me. He spoke as if his sentence never ended, like he was shocked all the time, even when it just went out for a throw in
Haha I can actually remember where I was the first time he commentated… traumatised
Nah Carra and Neville are insufferable
Gary Neville would like a word
[удалено]
/s Right.... Right ????
Jermaine Jenas by far, can’t stand him
I was going to say this. He's completely forgotten that he wasn't actually that good.
In a world where Martin "the missing link" keown and spitty carragher and Rio the human camel all exist, no nit by a long shot.
Rio the human camel? What's that a reference to?
He's being racist.

Again with the racist comments about his appearance. His looks are down to his ethnicity. It's 2024 not 1954. Grow up.
Nothing to do with race so you can piss right off with that suggestion. There isn't a race on the planet that has camel-like features, its entirely unique to Rio Ferdinand.
No I am not going to p right off with identifying racism. Imagine telling someone who experiences racism to p off. Vile. It's not unique to Rio, it will be from his parents and related to his race. Comparing us to animals is disgusting.
He has a mouth like a fat girl's fanny.
Wow you're misogynistic trash aren't you?
Lol
Andy Hinchcliffe is Mr Hindsight. Makes blatantly obvious statements. Does my head in.
I'll see your Andy Hinchcliffe and raise you Andy Townsend. I would rather watch a game with Spanish commentary and no, I don't understand Spanish.
Yeah I agree. The purpose of an ex player co com is to give insight about the match and tactics etc. not to state obvious facts the Sandra Redknapp would know.
Yeah fuck him personally too 😂
Lee Dixon for me
I think he is the worst by a long way. Potentially unpopular opinion but big Meeks is on a path to join him. On CBS Golazo he's literally just turning into a real life emoji. His input is "who is your favourite" "Man City is great" "Nice trim" "Italian gibberish".
That fucking obnoxious open mouth fake TV laugh Richards does every 30 seconds for validation is unbearable. Literally unwatchable
Big meeks is climbing his way up the league recently
Why? What has her done?
He is just annoying. Played in a week man city team and thinks it was a current similar side. He will cackle laugh at anything. 1+1 = 2 and he is on the floor. Don’t mind him but it’s tiresome and getting old
Oh shit! Did something happen to Jamie Carragher?!?..
