BBC commentary isn't any better, I prefer Sky to be honest.

That's not entirely surprising, given that you're a Saints fan.

Wellens the best player in the world - when he wasn't even the best full-back in the world?

Every pass Cunningham made - even basic deliveries from the play-the-ball sending Eddie into orgasmic raptures.

Come on, even you lot must have been embarrassed by some of that.

Clarke is terrible at times , give more of the gig to Carney and Wells .

Stevo says 'utilize' about every 10 words or so, it's barely an exaggeration. 'Utilise the dummy runners' it get very, very annoying when they only explanation for a team not clicking in attack is due to this. Also any kick that finds touch when a team is in the lead is deemed as brilliant by Stevo, even if it's a poor kick that went wrong. The Stevoisms were amusing for a while but his commentary could be recorded beforehand and played during the game as he doesn't have any new insights or anything useful to say.

I've started watching a few of the Championship games this year and I must admit the Premier Sports coverage is superb considering the budget. I'm a big fan of the video ref mic that they have explaining the reasons for the decision.

They need to get the message out there: "hey, come on, our commentary team is bobbins". Eddie more so than Stevo IMO.

Yeah the Premier Sports coverage even thought not in HD is pretty good and they should definitely look at having a video ref mic for the Super League games.

Yep, Clarkey's Sports Science degree certainly gives him the opportunity to bore the socks off everyone with his theories and in-game predictions.


Sadly, he makes what is really a simple game seem very complicated.

If you go on to that weird website where you can watch videos there is a terrific one of Brian Carney tackling Anthony Sullivan. Eddie's commentary is cringeworthy yet hilarious. Nearly creams himself when he thinks Saints are going to score.

Just watched it. What an utter, complete muppet.

The only proof anyone will ever need.

When wiggy first graced our screens all those moons ago, I seem to (now embarrassingly) remember thinking "what a welcome change to that muppet on the BBC"

Just goes to show, that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King.

Quite. But what a magnificent tackle
