ITV - oh no

[Maggot]

I don't mind Lineker, but the daddy of football presenters is nowhere to be seen these days. Someone bring back James Richardson, please.

He's doing a daily podcast for the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/audio/2010/jun/14/world-cup-daily-podcast-germany-australia

That night in...

exactly.

I googled 'Clive Tyldsley Annoying' to see if anyone could articulate what it is about him I find so annoying better than I could and found this on the 606 forums...which nails exactly why it is I hate his commentary -

'He has an annoying voice and a melodramatic "words are my paint, football my canvas" delivery'

I really recommend the Richardson podcast. He's the only pundit who has made me laugh so far. On the Vuvuzela 'Fans have complained about the costant droning, but Alan Green is under contract.'

I asked the guys over at Cult Zeros if we could have a James Richardson tshirt and they duly obliged Gonna get one with "I belong to Jimbo" soon hopefully

(I know there are 'official' Guardian ones but they're a bit pants, and £1 more expensive)

 

[Maggot]

I saw those 'I belong to Jimbo' T-shirts and wondered who Jimbo was.

Does anyone call him that?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hell yeah, AC Jimbo!

Glendenning wore one for the video pod (I think it was that one anyway) and there's been a few references to it since.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I belong to Jimbo

I could live with Chiles and Corden as I dont have to hear them when the game is on....the real problem with ITV is Clive Tyldesley...

That night in...

Arrggghhh yes as if the presenters weren't annoying enough you get to the start of the match and that voice comes on...
