I’d agree that Drury is cringe thinks he’s a poet, but I’m not buying the hate here. Despite all that, even though I can’t exactly say why, for me his style is just really effective for huge games and perhaps even his more cringe moments help make games and moments more memorable.

He's fluked that hasn't he

 

 

 


On the replay from behind Di Marco he doesn’t look at the keeper once. Just a quick look to see who’s making a run in the middle. 
 

looks like he meant it on first viewing but the more I see it the more I’m sceptical.

Yeah, there are some quality commentators about. The reason I listed those commentators is because they're all known for their use of language. Drury's obviously been around for years himself as well, I've always had this opinion on him. 

 

 

 

Fair enough. Just find the constant whinging about commentators on here tiresome. 
 

And to me - Drury is fun. I’m still laughing at ‘and Rodri clarted it’.  Only a fun loving man would say that on national TV. And a student of the English language.

I think the issue is to do with affectation, he’s clearly written a ton of this stuff in private then says it as if it’s off the cuff stuff, and it’s always incredibly over the top saccharine shite. The problem is that he’s making the moment more about him in my opinion. He might have convinced himself that he’s doing it for the viewers but there’s a big part that’s about himself

I appreciate the effort. Doesn’t always come off. It doesn’t detract for me. I came on here wanting to talk about a fantastic game of football to find people moaning about the commentator trying too hard at his job.

Fair enough, the game was class. One of those rare games where you wish it could have just kept going. The biggest talking point is Cole Palmer. How good is he going to be and is it the best bit of business Chelsea have done in years?

I’m insanely jealous of that transfer. I know we are paying for Hall next summer but I feel like we FFP funded that transfer for Chelsea when we needed him. 
 

A part of it is down to Hall not being ready atm. While Palmer is the exact profile in my head that we need and that Eddie would love. He’s a baller. He’s athletic. He presses. Seems to have a great mentality. Imagine his linkup with Isak, Trippier and Livra. It should have been us.

Did you get up to anything nice in Egypt?

On the commentary discussion, always feel obliged to bang the Daniel Mann drum. Think he's class personally, massively underrated and gets nowhere near as many games as he should. Did loads of our games in the Championship under Benitez and the opening match this season against Villa.
