Man, this commentator is annoying². His voice is already cracking, because he´s talking/screaming the entire match and every little scene seems to be a huge drama for that guy...I don´t know who he is..but insane!Schnerres said:
Zososoxfan said:I disagree about Ray. When I first heard his broadcasts, I was annoyed with his shtick, but now that I've been subjected to Martin Tyler's inane and often incorrect commentary, Ray is a sigh of relief. Granted, he's the Jack Edwards of soccer and that might grate on folks, but I still think he's better than the Fox Sports crew (both Spanish and English - the Spanish team is surprisingly awful).
When one of the Young Boys players missed a sitter, Einstein was know to yell, "I'll glass you, you hipster cunt." Except in Bernese. True story.Turrable said:Jack knows his stuff and calls it pretty straight until something sets him off. Hudson, in addition to providing no worthwhile analysis, is just constantly looking/begging for a reason to freak out, and it's fake as hell. At one point in the game there was a pretty decent Messi shot that missed and he unleashed some ridiculous rant about how Einstein would have marveled at his genius or whatever. Einstein would have been like "he missed, dude."

I'm pretty sure that's the first bad word I've ever heard about Martin Tyler's commentary.
teddykgb said:One random thought I had watching Barca play a few times over the last few weeks is that Jordi Alba doesn't get enough credit for what he does in this Barcelona setup. His speed as a full back is such a weapon, he made several recovering runs yesterday that I'm not sure any other FB can make. With Barca always pushing the line forward to compress the space, it's really essential to have players who can sweep up stuff over the top and I feel Alba takes that to another level. Against both City and Madrid there were occasions where Barca were opened up and the guy just sprints back and gives everyone time to recover. I don't think he's the best footballer I've ever seen, but I think he does an awful lot to make that squad work.

My buddy and I were talking before the game and it's pretty stark how Alves is asked to stay home more in big games and Alba is the one pushing up. Alba's speed is really something to behold - there's no 40 yard overlapping run or recovery run he doesn't elect to bust his lungs for.
teddykgb said:You guys know how to rip the fun out of everything. Hudson is a complete nutjob and it's awesome in so many ways that he's somehow become the top announcer in the game. Live a little, just enjoy the oddity.
