There was some other bloke at the bbc then too, hung around like a bad smell for decades after, he was a right cunt… Is the correct take.

I liked Davies too, I recall him mentioning that it was perhaps a little unfair that a 20 year period he got one cup final while Motson got 19 (!!) Also, I rather liked his alternative (pens) idea of taking pens before extra time, with the winner of the shoot-out awarded half a goal - that way avoiding the often-wasted 30mins as both teams could not just play down the clock, and defeat would not sit so firmly on the poor sap missing a decisive pen...

trainman 38 Posted yesterday at 11:41 Share Posted yesterday at 11:41 Also, he didn't have verbal diarrhoea (take note 'fletch') but allowed play to develop without consistent chat or stats (motson), the viewer is watching the fuckin game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he only got two FA Cup finals in total. And back when they were the biggest event of the year. I preferred him to Motson anyway but I think he was much more versatile too. He could easily turn his hand to other sports yet still seem like an expert. Wasn’t it him who commentated when GB beat West Germany 3-1 to win the Olympic men’s hockey gold? Also an honourable mention to Peter Brackley of Football Italia fame. Who I always thought was excellent. He died quite young in his late 60s unfortunately a few years back 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment he does, so do they.

toonotl 3793 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Seen a bit of talk that Amorim is destined for the sack now. Is there any chance he doesn’t go, do we think? And, if he stays, is there any argument at all to suggest ManU will turn things around? Assuming we get CL, this is potentially quite impactful for next season, obviously the worse that ManU and Spurs are the better for our chances of a repeat CL finish while in a CL season. As for Spurs, they must keep Ange now you’d think. That’s great for us. With a CL campaign to manage they’re going to be crap again next season. No doubt about it, surely. They also apparently have a cash problem and won’t be spending big in the transfer market. Wonderful. As for the game itself. Spurs winning was perfect. Spurs winning with one shot on target was amusing. Spurs winning in the battle of the zealot strategists who refuse to change their tactics for anyone by changing their tactics for ManU was fuckin’ hilarious.

They'll keep him, back him in the transfer window to get players who can play his very specific system and then sack him in October after a woeful run of form leaving the next man stuck with a load of players he doesn't want. It's fucking wonderful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
