He was only hired by the BBC because his brother works for Sky. Did they even try I'm out first? Woeful.

I have switched to listening to the game on the radio before I end up slitting my wrists.

The man is dire.

He's not Mark Lawrenson, which is very much in his favour

He's worse than Owen and that's saying something.

Someone needs to put him out of his misery dear god the man sounds depressed. Can we not sub him at half time for an orange or some thing.

I know it is not his fault but the voice !!! dear god in heavens did anyone not listen to him before giving him a key England game !!!

It really is bad I don't think I can stand 90 minutes of him droning on !!!

No, it's because he knows what he's talking about. I understand this may be an alien concept.

If they knew he'd sound like this during a match he wouldn't be allowed near a mic.

Lol just came on to start a post titled 'Arrrrrgh Phil Neville Cadence' .

He is speaking in staccato bursts with a hurried urgent tinge, 80% of the time he is limiting to three or four words or syllables (sometimes two) and he stresses the last word or syllable even when it splits up a word lol. It's driving me insane. When he does fire off a fuller sentence you can hear the increase in speed and he always ends up stressing the last word or syllable still. Also wierd pauses in the middle of a sentence or word.

Or should I........say as an.......example he would likely......say int-ter-rupt....ing all split....up....it's very an.....noying

A live example just......now he said....."he looks like the one.......(long pause)...that's going to unlock the door......(another long pause).....(indecipherable word) his dribbling......his speed one v one"


NOOOOO! got to.......file a com........................plaint to the B..............BC............the commen........tator is.........driving me mad.

Some of what hes saying is quite interesting and informative, unfortunately its only about 10% of it. The other 90% is drivel.

He needs to learn that sometimes less is more.

He has a big contract with Dulux. Part of the staff training program. Helps teach that watching paint dry is actually quite interesting.

Dear god he had a shocker (even worse than Rooney and Baines) - did they not test him out before they took him to Brazil ? His depressing monotone mumbling away in the background cast a real downer on the match.

I'm sure Michael Owen loved it though. At last, someone who makes him look good.... (well, less bad).

He was as bad at talking about England as he was playing for them.

It was mumblecore throughout. Makes Mark Lawrenson's deepy cynical remarks sound bearable.
