IRN

Aston Villa v Manchester United Paul MacDowell

Just heard, it's going to be Roger Tames and Gary Rowell

Rob Phillips and Iwan Roberts on duty for Kairdiff at Southampton for BBC Radio Wales.

Rob was also commentating for Radio Wales for the San Marino Euro2008 Qualifer, but didn't catch the Co-Commentator.

BBC Radio Five Live

Southampton v Cardiff (1300) Nigel Adderley, ? and Steve Claridge (commentary) Eleanor Oldroyd seemed to be enjoying herself too much in Sao Paolo to be bothered naming the commentary team.
West Ham v Sunderland (1600) John Southall


BBC Five Live Sports Extra

West Ham v Sunderland David Oates, tba and Mark Bright (commentary)

It was Alistair Bruce-Ball.

Thanks. Do you know who was the second commentator (if there was one) on Five Live Sports Extra at Upton Park?

Monday 22nd October
Newcastle v Tottenham – Graham Courtney
Hull v Barnsley – John Temple

Tuesday 23rd October
Rangers v Barcelona – Mark Donaldson
Dynamo Kiev v Manchester United – Jim Proudfoot & Alvin Martin (commentary)
Arsenal v Slavia Prague – Andy Clarke

Wednesday 24th October
Besiktas v Liverpool – Jim Proudfoot & Alvin Martin (commentary)
Chelsea v Schalke – Nigel Pearson
Benfica v Celtic – Mark Donaldson

talkSPORT will be providing commentary of Manchester United v Middlesbrough on Saturday.

David Oates was on his own. I've noyiced that Sports Extra don't seem to have a consistent policy regarding the number of commentators per match.

Newcastle v Spurs (Five Live)
Dave Woods, Steve Stone, David Oates

Good to hear Woods doing football. Underused in recent seasons I think.

Thank you shaun_d. I agree re-Dave Woods. Apart from Rugby League (where, if I remember correctly, he made his name at BBC Radio Leeds), he sometimes does football commentary on (channel) five.

I am not available tomorrow night (but will be back on Wednesday) but I believe that Rangers v Barcelona is the commentary match on BBC Radio Five Live whereas Coventry v Watford is the feature on Five Live Sports Extra.

Five Live

Rangers v Barcelona - Mike Ingham, Pat Nevin, Alan Green (commentary)
D Kiev v Man Utd - Conor McNamara
Arsenal v S Prague - Darren Fletcher

Charlton v Plymouth - Simon Brotherton
Coventry v Watford - Pat Murphy
WBA v Blackpool - Alistair Bruce-Ball

Sports Extra
Coventry v Watford - Nigel Adderley, Neil Lennon, Jacqui Oatley

I wonder when the last time was that the Big Two commentated from Scotland?

Someone mentioned Graham Lovett from tower and Wire fm he can now be found on radio worm doing Warrington RL games.

Last season when they did the first leg of Celtic-Milan in the CL last 16.

BBC Radio Five Live

Benfica v Celtic Roddy Forsyth
Chelsea v Schalke Mark Saggers (host) and can't remember (Jonathan Legard?) - notes at home
Besiktas v Liverpool John Murray, Alan Green and Mark Lawrenson (commentary)
Bristol City v Southampton Alistair Durden
Cardiff v Wolves Ian Brown

I have to mention, that though the station as a whole has gone down considerably since GMG took over - Century's coverage of Newcastle matches is excellent.

OK, most of the foundations were already in place from G-Cap, but Bob Moncur is an excellent pundit and Peter Graves (I think?) has proved to be a superb commentator too. Well done!
