Haven't seen much of Richardson on Setanta, doubt he will be as good in his summing up of English football as he is with Italian, the guy genuinely seems to be in love with the game over there and it always came through with his reports. Is he still doing Gazetta on Channel 5? Or did they get someone new?
yeah forgot about him, he is without any doubt the best, and very amusing when he is teamed up with ray wilkinsQuote:

Opinion on Redknapp is blurred by thinking his dad is a class manager. But I really do like the last word. Its a nice change to see some really in depth analysis, rather than the usual 15 minutes including commercials
Really like James Richardson though, and Peter Brackley on commentary. Top class

Gareth Crookes irritates me with his posh say nothing voice. Paul Merson can never identify players. Phil Thompson's and Charlie Nicholas' grammatical solecisms are grating and Alan Parry must be the most over hyping commentator alive. "Brilliant" for any basic pass is his stock phrase.
Owlsfan, I was expecting another diatrabe about Dunphy??
Did you not see himself and Giles gang up on Souness last night when discussing Uniteds tactics??
I'm normally a bit of a Dunphy fan (he's comedy gold) but I thought it was a bit bad taste given that Souness managed recently in the Premiership and obviously had a better grasp of it than the other two

Glad to see that there was a dissenting voice from Souness. No doubt Mr. Curmudgeon Giles and Ugly Betty were having a go at Ronaldo, Ferdinand and Man U. Same every game. Becomes tedious.
Agree about Souness, he gives a very good analysis of the game and did you see the smile on his face when the Rangers result came throught!!!!!
As for Dunphy that muppet slated Wenger last year for playing 'kids' and last night he reckoned they were the best team around....
Loved that. :)Quote:

Jeff Stelling is the only reason for watching Soccer Saturday for me, the man has kept the show fresh throughout these years with his genuine wit, and also through his love of the lower leaguesQuote:

Did you see him on Saturday last at Pompey Reading?? It was one of the best things i have seen in years. Poor bloke nearly exploded at one point in the second halfQuote:
