Dunphy lauded in the Guardian's Joy of Six.
It's a fair shout. Never have been so entertained by someone who's opinion I despise. Here's to you Eamon (until the next time you cause me to throw a beer can at the TV in anger).

Nomination is kinda tainted by mention of Garth Crooks though
They're crying out for any kind of eccentricity - good or bad - in English punditry which possibly makes Crooks' rubbishness endearing.
You'll note they never mentioned the infamous comment of "That's the first time you'll ever see 2 men having sex on the BBC", maybe Crooks wouldn't have been in it if they had.
The best thing he ever did, baby.

Change the record, seriously.Quote:

No matter how mental, deranged and OTT Dunphy can get after games I'd still rather listen to him than Andy 'I'm mates with JT, Gerrard and Rooney and I'll never have a bad word said about them' Gray, Jamie Redknapp, Shearer and Lawro.
Sounness (despite being a crap manager) and the guy from La Liga coverage I rate. The rest are way below par.
Owls Fan's missus probably has a mesh guard in place to protect the tv whenever the Holy Trinity are due to appear.
Similar to the one that protected the Blues Brothers when they played at that hick bar.
No, I just get all shook up.Quote:

Is La Liga that good? My impression from hearing Sid Lowe that it isn't outside the top two, but can't say I've seen many games...Quote:

I think I pressed record on the phone a bit early! the last part of the video has dunphy and then brady messing in the background while Con is doing his stuff at the front of the studio

I did find it funny when dunphy insisted barca will 'kill' madrid on Monday, and if they should meet later in the CL
Regardless of your opinion of them they are still the best analysis team in the world. I also like Souness as well.Quote:

Let's not forget the genius of Didi Hamann and Ossie this summer gone.
The difference between Sky Sports Souness and RTÉ Souness is spectacular.
Paul Collins as Man City score against Stoke: "Just about deserve the lead on the balance of play" Stoke equalise 10 minutes or so later:Paul Collins "Well deserved equaliser for Stoke on the balance of play over 90 minutes" ??
Jeff Stelling on Sky "There has been a giant killing as Dover beat Aldershot".
Now I know that a pigmy looks likes a giant to an ant but really!
I enjoy Soccer Saturday but seeing Phil Thompson almost going in to ecstacy as Wigan or Fulham have a shot on goal is such a joke or as Paul Merson said yesterday about one of the Bolton goals "Best goal he has ever seen". As for Kami: "Unbelievable Jeff". Is this a wind up that he starts every report like this?
Bring back Dunphy ;)
It is, but when they play the top two, there is not much they can do. Though Valencia and Villareal v Barcelona this season were cracking games. Real haven't played anyone really until tonight..Quote:
