The one and only good use for AI would be if you could select a commentator from the past and it generated real time commentary in that voice and style. I’d go for Peter Jones.

Hugh Johns. Every other answer is very very wrong.

They got the result today but that midfield looks far too open for Liverpool, I can see them conceding a lot more than they did last year.
that Konate makes Liam Ridgewell look like Paul McGrath.

I've always thought he looked decent but in the charity shield and again today he looked like competition winner, no idea what has gone wrong with him but he got caught out of position time and time again tonight.

He's strong and fast but has always looked a little too rash for me. I've never quite understood the hype in regards to him being a Real Madrid level player.

For me, the main reason for watching football on a dodgy stick isn’t to evade cost, it’s so I don’t have to listen to drury and Carragher wanking themselves off over the Sky 6. Sky/TNT don’t even try and hide the bias anymore.
Yes, I found a stream with Conor Macnamara on commentary. Much better.

Yes, Hugh Johns was a maestro, but always Barry Davies for me.

Moore, Motson, Gubba, Darke, Davies…. Even Tyler but his “Aguerooooooooo” is probably responsible for Drury doing the same style every shot.

That "Aguero" is iconic because it was the very late goal that won them the title on the last day. There is definitely no need to do it ad-nauseum evey match including the very first game of the season. As an aside, was there any iconic commentary when Thomas broke through against Liverpool in 89?

Brian Moore - and it’s up for grabs now?

That felt instinctive though and of the moment. There is nothing instinctive about Drury.

I feel like Drury practices in front of the mirror in his bedroom before the game

We'll probably get passive aggressive Alan Smith on our game .

I've just seen a clip of Kevin Phillips talking about the Albion game on a Sky ad on Twitter. His hair, my God. If I worked for the Turkish Hair Transplant Marketing Board I'd sue him for compromising the brand, for insulting the very concept of hair.

Edit: here it is.
