I didn't want to post it last night, but how bad is Drury on Sky? I don't understand the appeal, he's constantly just trying to be poetic instead of commentating on the game.

The novelty rubs off quickly over a 38 game season

He's pure Partridge.

 

[Neiler]

Don't tell me these people are not in a cult



Stay classy

Wish they’d plaster that on SSN, instead of showing his tackle on loop, it’s actually bananas the power they have in the media. We and other clubs I believe have to start pointing it out, it’s dripping down now to influencing outcomes of games.

A creepy bombastic weirdo.

He's basically what happens when AI does "emotion".

The ham-acting, stage-show fraud.

Anyway, regardless of the result, Luis Diaz is the most ugly horrible rat that has ever walked the earth.

Him and Suarez would make for an ideal couple. Similarly to Rose and Fred West

He's absolutely dreadful.
Every time a player shoots or something happens that might lead to a goal he just yells the player's name with an expectant tone...

"Mooo Salaaah"

That's it. That's his thing. "Mykelenkooooo crossing for Doucoureeeee".

Once you notice it you can't stop noticing it.

Also what you said about being unnecessarily poetic - it's Kenneth Wolstenholme syndrome: the constant attempts by some football commentators to say something so poetic that it lives forever in the memory. Trouble is Wostlenholm did it at a key point in England's finest footballing achievement. Drury (and Jonathan Pearce does it constantly too) are trying it on at Fulham v. Bournemouth on a Wednesday night in October.

Still miss David Coleman and quite liked Gerald Sindstats commentary. Probably got the spelling wrong with the latter's surname.

I’m old enough to remember Kenneth Wolstenholme!
