So much better with this guy today (unsure of his name) good but of humour and so much better than Johnson who is obviously way past his prime 😂

I'd prefer Johnson, at least when he gets things wrong it's funny, it was pretty bad today.

On the stream I found it was the Sunderland commentary, it was awful and one sided
At least our guys will call it down the middle

I thought it was appalling.
'Stoke's passing is so slow and laborious' cried at us playing 2 passes between centre backs, literally seconds before we win a corner from a good attack.
'Every team seems to be doing that these days for some reason' as their keeper plays one short pass.
Didn't realise Bonham was on the pitch for 5 minutes, forgot the Reading game happened and gave praise or had a go at players seemingly at random.
It's not even no insight into the game, it actually gives you less understanding of the match.

As the goals were going in I don’t know whether he wasn’t arsed or was bemused by goals flying into the oppositions net. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Ange was as no nonsense as ever, enjoyed her being on

Can we just be positive on every front today 😂 Nige is in his prime, Gayle is a goal machine and Alex Neil is the best manger in Europe.

Gotta say, the way Nige says Laraunt's name really grates on me!!! 😖
He's quite possibly saying it correct, it just winds me up when I hear him say it!!!

Ive always said we will miss Nige when he goes
Today was a great result, I had the commentary on driving back from a visit to Stoke and found the commentary strangely muted especially when the goals went in - almost as if "oh theres another one" in the same voice if it was us or Sunderland
Nige would have been beside himself and over the moon, both at the same time

Ange was as no nonsense as ever, enjoyed her being on Thought Ange was blinding both today and Blackpool and for different reasons. The commentary position is appalling at Blackpool and she helped and informed Nige really well. Today, a little faster paced, informed us really well.  |

May I ask a question Push? Are you listing to a radio commentary while watching a visual stream? |

A few seconds into the start of the second half. “ That looks like Bonham in goal. Is it Bonham Ange?”
“Yes I think it is “
Comedy gold.
Although they did say they were up in the gods and it was like watching subuteo.

Wait they momentarily couldn't tell the difference between two 6'4" brown-haired blokes dressed in the same clothes from a gantry a quarter of a mile away? Someone sew my sides back together |

Yeah he seems to be a good desciber of the game and he's not constantly screaming everytime Stoke get the ball in an attacking position.. I find commentators who do that really annoying. I thought him and Ang made a good team. |

I don't get the annoyance with Niges mistakes, it's always been part of his charm.
Let's not forget he is just about the only person in football who calls the kit items correctly...It is stockings not socks! Where would players put shin pads if they were wearing little socks?
He will be missed when he goes.

Nige made me smile in the build up to the game last night. He was describing how we beat Blackburn at their place earlier on in the season when Dean 'Saunders' was our caretaker manager 😉🤣 .. Did make me think for a few moments, did I just hear that right! 😁
Going to miss Nige when he's no longer commentating for us.

I absolutely hate it when Clive Clarke is the summariser. I have absolutely no idea what's going on during the game because he takes over with his opinions about everything rather than concentrating on what's going on on the park. He knows his stuff and would make a great after-match pundit but not as a commentator on the game. Nige managed to wrestle some control over him when he was commentating but the other guy was quite willing to join in with him with his waffling. At one point we were taking a corner and the next thing we heard was Jags was passing back to Bonham. I prefer the co-commentators to offer an opinion when they're asked to and not take over most of the game with his opinions. Replace him please!
OS.

Couldn't agree more.
I forget exactly which commentator it was but i recall Graham Taylor speaking years back about when he was nervous doing his first summariser job on the radio. The commentator alongside Taylor said "It's simple, Graham. I'll describe what happens. You then say why it's happened."
Can't go far wrong with that i reckon, i often wish Clive would allow the commentator to actually describe what's happening.  |
