All the usual names, the entire BT team of ex players and I cannot stand Danny Mills.I don't mind Mark Chapman but do get sick of ex pros sticking up for their mates.
The most annoying thing is, they only ever skim over the surface. Even when we appointed McLeish, it had nothing to do where he came from, we never hated him. In fact most realised he was a very decent man. It was the brand we were against.Now, most of us agree there is problems throughout the club, we're up for sale, the money isn't there, however Sherwood just didn't have a clue and instead of admitting other has thrown his players to the Wolves.

He died I think 18 months later, his wife maintained he suffered PTSD after witnessing that day and never recovered.I believe he died after commentating on The Boat Race of all things - probably died of boredom poor bloke. An outstanding commentator and wordsmith up there with Benaud, Maskell and Ted Lowe for just consistently getting it right.Never forget his commentary of Dennis Mortimer's goal against 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' the year we won the title - it's on the Season Review LP I bought that year narrated by Tim Russon (anyone remember him?) Also when Boro got their 2nd while we were losing to Arsenal on the final day - the roar in the background is unbelievable.Our pundits in Oz are Bosnich, Robbie Slater and via video link Darren Lewis - so you reckon you have it bad.

One day i'll hear him say "and the sun shines now" and won't have eyes filled with dust.
Peter Jones was the voice of Radio when I was a kid in the 80s, I remember Larry Canning covering us too, liked him when I was a kid. I know he divides opinions on here, but I like Pat Murphy, when things are going wrong he seems pissed off like the rest of us, voices his opinions and doesn't sit on the fence. Carragher, Neville, Murphy, Dixon, Hargreaves and James are all good, the rest just come out with the same old shit.
Ray Parlour seems to be geting a regular spot on talksport. He is a complete cluts, does no research and spouts opinion as if its fact. Its like hes readin the back page of the daily sport
Garth Crooks is also up there with the worst- don't think he's been mentioned yet?
The sky soccer special lot were on about it tonight.They are just so far removed from what is actually happening day to day with the club to have anywhere near approaching an accurate viewpoint but it didn't stop the usual lazy lines about they weren't his players, he wanted Townsend Thoresen etc etc.

His comments are nearly always negative. Wish he'd stick with the cricket.
