Matt Holland on Five Live - Ar.se v Palace

[wws]

some good quotes from our mattie as co commentator last nite - with this gem especially:

Motson: Thats 1000 appearances for the Arsenal physio tonight....

Holland: Thats some achievement, I know Ferguson did it with Manchester United....well as a manager....but to do it as a physio.....is a great record

Thats a bit of a cracker alright...but that said he is able to hold is own with the punditry,he can come across well. I was listening to him on 5 live a couple of weeks ago. he was commenting on thr Arsenal v Chelsae game and again he did alright. I reckon one of the major reasons he has become captain of the sides he has played for ie. Ispwich and Charlton (Second behind Cunningham for Ireland when RMK isn't around possibly) is his ability to comunicate. he will be around for a long time after he quits playing a la Townsend. Fair play to him he gets to much of a knockin I reckon.
