As an avid listener to five live and 606 etc does anybody know what has happened to Alan Green, has he been sacked or something as he is now not on at all?

Perhaps it was part of the deal to persuade Ferguson to talk to the BBC.

On the subject of 5 Live there was a massive Stoke' love in' again on the 606 show.Robbie Savage and the other bloke whose name I 've forgot were really gushing about us. Not sure if I can get used to all this praise,I think I preferred it when it was us against the world and his dog

He was part of the commentary team for the ManU 8-2 Arsenal game. Not heard him since though. He hasn't done 606 for bloody ages as far as I am aware.

Can't stand the bloke personally, although he did show some signs of improvement towards the end of last season. Don't care if never comes back.

I'd like to add to the "the wanker can have all the time off in the world" pile please.
Cannot bear him. 90% of the time he acts as if the game he is commentating on is beneath him, and spends the other 10% moaning solidly about the referee.
Epic bellend.

i think alan green is one of the best commentators around. he has opinions, sticks to them and says it how he sees it. He isn't controversial for the sake of it, he offers his opinion, and I often agree with him (for example, on how ridiculous the fa are, how managers of big clubs influence refs with their pre and post match comments etc). I don't agree with everything he says, but I like the way he believes in fan power over corporate power in football clubs.

He was commentating on a man utd champions league game once when he had to read out the score of a league 2 game. His words were something like "...and its Rochdale 1 Bury 1...like anyone cares about that at the moment." well Rochdale and Bury supporters do you utter fucking twat.

Give me the northern bloke who was co-hosting with Knobbhead Savage anyday of the week. He's a good commentator, too.
EDIT: Darren Fletcher

He's the Graham McGarry of National radio.
Maybe the deal with Fergie was he'd speak to the beeb as long as Green was fooked off? starkiller???

I remrember Green threatening a caller on 606 with a libel action for accusing him of being a Man Utd fan. What a berk.

He supports Liverpool, like most others at bbc and in the media.

In my opinion. Alan Green is one of the few honest reporters in the game at present. Regarding D. Fletcher he slagged us off big style at half time on 606, then proper back tracked at full time............cock!

The referee thing really annoys me too. He constantly slags them off because he thinks it will endear him to the ordinary football fan - patronising twat. It is a very cheap shot. I would LOVE to see Green sent on a referees course and then sent down to his local park on a sunday morning - what a great documentary that would make. I will complain about a bad decision like anyone else but I do realise they do a VERY difficult job as best they can. There would be no football without them - we could manage fine without Green though.

He's always all, "Oh this is dire", "Referee, blow your whistle!" especially when he shunted towards the indiginity of watching Coventry or someone. A massive wanker basically.

Unless it's Man Utd in the Champions League then it is all beneath him. On 606 I enjoyed listening to him floundering around if a call about someone outside the top six slipped through the net. 'Oh yes, Sheffield Wednesday, err, the old Owls, hmmmmm Hillsborough. (Six second pause) Winning the Rumbelows Cup, what a great result for the sleeping giant. Is Chis Waddle still there?'

You've very clearly NEVER seen him - "little" is the last word you'd use ;D and why is he "odious" ??

Both Darren Fletcher and Mark Chapman are ten times better presenters than him.
I've even forgiven the latter for gunning down John Lennon.
