Superb commentary by our own musical maestro Steve Banyard. Best I've ever heard from him and really built up the sense of occasion.

Only caught the second half of the game but I thought that Champion and Pleat were pretty good on what was a very important result in the title race.
Actual Commentators..Martin Tyler and Andy Gray
Good selection for almost everyone so getting 3 points but the following only got a point for getting Andy Gray...The Wanderer, Jonboy35, LOSG, Shaun_D, Seagull_Mark, JBO and TOKI.
Problem is people have their opninion of Pleat and certain commentators and they will never change their minds.
I'm the same with Spurs. Will NEVER EVER admit they play well, even if they have.
Just cant bring myself to say it!!!
Everyone except SSReporters
Tottenham vs. Chelsea........Actual Commentators........Steve Banyard and Efan Ekoku
3 points: pakokelso93 (well done!)
1 point for Banyard: Everyone else SSReporters and JRNSUFF99
Three games left to play and I'll release the table on Sunday ahead of Monday's Liverpool/West Ham game.
Actual commentators..Daniel Mann and Don Goodman
Noone had that combination.
Many had Daniel Mann so getting a point but the following did not score...SSreporters, Cottonheat, BobbyG, Venno, Gilsta, D4N1ELL, Mogzboy, Mr.Williams, Camerons, ChrisFinch, Casinoman, ReadingFan, The Benster and Footyberzo.
Early stages but many on 5 points.
I'm a big fan of Martin Tyler but when things take him by suprise, he no longer appears to suddenly 'change' and get excited. Peter Drury has called it how it should.
Martin Tyler for me is one of the elder statesman of commentary and a cracking one but his goal call today wasnt too good. Hawthorne called it superbly earlier in the season when Owen scored too.
He had a great game but I just preferred Drury's goal call.

I preferred Tyler's. Drury's goal call was fine if not a little shouty but I thought Tyler had more of a throwback call.
Can't believe I'm actually doing well! :eek:
Don't think much of Woody Paige's attempt.
I heard Champion's call on the Premier League Preview show ... it was pretty good but could have done without the co-comm talking over it.

If as Pearce mentioned Strachan is on the BBC World cup team, there could be some friction if he's in the same hotel as Oatley!!:eek::eek::eek:
He's deffinitely in the top 5.
He was superb today - once you get over his mispronounciations, he's brilliant. Puts ALL the BBC and most of Sky's co commentators to shame.
I don't understand Sky being so willing to put him on live games like they did last year and this year.
He's piss poor, end of story. Just a northern local radio chancer I'm afraid.
Sadly Sky seem to be taking their recruits from cheesy local radio these days - Weaver and Taphouse fall into that category, and presumably Copeless and Beck too?
Taphouse has a very easy voice to listen to.
She's said nothing out of order. If he genuinely was rude then why shouldn't she tell people he was. Free country.
Hmm, and I wonder why I never take your opinion on anything seriously with comments like that.
You're probably just a caricature of the thick loudmouth cockney idiot that most of us up north have come to expect!
But it's not very professional though is it?
I didn't know merseyside was famed for producing huge amounts of quiet "normal" speaking, smart people. :yawn:
EXACTLY - can you imagine the hoohar if Martin Tyler, Guy Mowbray etc said something like that? Look how the papers ripped Richard Keys apart the other week!!
Other than United & Spurs fans, the party happiest with todays results will undoubtedly be Sky, with the title and race for 4th being blown wide open. Going slightly off-topic, with news yesterday that Sky will no longer be producing ESPN's PL coverage , will there be quite as much cross-promotion next season? Methinks not, but you never know.
was hoping somebody might be able to post it on here
and thought i would say i feel Pleat is one the best co-commentators in the business and gets very unfair stick on here..
hey.. quick short straw poll.. pleat or southgate?
