commentators are ace

[sid the squid]

How many classic quotes do commentators come out with during a game of footy. Just last night watching the Liverpool game, good old Clive Tyldesley came out with a few classics. After Rieras goal he claimed that he would'nt score a better goal than that (maybe he will in the next 10 years or so)
Also he seemed obsessed using the pharase "shadow squad". Don;'t ya just love em ?

I must admit Pleat is a complete c8ck when it comes to co-commentating, he is forever mispronouncing names talkin sh*te in genral.
