Sohail's laundry tips from the other day came in very useful. My shorts have never been whiter.

Not directly relevant but an interesting aside, Angela was one of the worlds top ranked squash players back in the boom days of squash and the first female professional. I believe she was head coach at a prestigious New York club after she retired. A formidable athlete in her own right you would have to say!

I don't mind Ange at all. Is she the world greatest commentator? No, but she gives some reasonable insight to those who are not watching the game. Surhail is a work in progress as many have said. Hopefully he improves but it's not terrible. This all coming from a very non-local but I regularly hear the commentary and think it's descent. Another one who gets the unneccesary abuse from some So did Nige though to be fair. Seems to be a bit of a pattern

Clive Clarke is fucking useless. A miserable twat with zero analysis. Like I said before, at least Ange has the club at heart. Callas should be signed up permanently Clarke may be a miserable twat but the insight he offers is a million percent better than the inane drivel trotted out by Ange. If 'paashuuun!' or being a 'prominent' fan is the limit of our demands though then why not get Adie Lewis, or Toby Jones, or Nick Hancock, or Malcolm Clarke, or Hairy fucking Potter in the co-comms seat? No matter how people want to slice it, Angela Smith is a poor broadcaster and shouldn't be occupying the position she does. Again, I don't blame her for this - if someone said to me "do you want to talk shit about SCFC on regional radio?" I'd snap their hands off. Radio Stoke should be providing a better output to its listeners though. It's indicative of that station's amateurish 'any old shit will do' approach that she's given airtime. That's nice of you, dances I'm very happy to go on Radio Stoke anytime to talk about Stoke or national fans issues, but during games I want to be there with my daughter and the rest of the potters' fans !

I like a Mini Roll and some Haribo during the game Malc and difficult to talk at the same time ...especially the Haribo sours.

I don't want to hear Ange commentating on Stoke ever again, sorry.

Seems to be a bit of a pattern There's a difference between abusing someone and pointing out that they're a poor broadcaster. As I've said a couple of times in this thread, nobody has any issue with Ange personally - she's clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about the club and even though I've never met her, I'm sure she's a very nice person. As a co-commentator though, she's terrible and adds absolutely nothing in terms of insight.

I think the commentary has got better through the season.
It's impossible to replace a commentator a lot of us grew up with but I find Sohail has a warmth in his commentary. As the season has gone on he's become more confident expressing his own opinion, and I think he's doing well.
I also think all the co commentators have been good this season. The only one I am not sure about is Zakuani, there doesn't seem to be much feeling for the club when he's on.
I think some of the frustration here is related to how crap we've been on the pitch. I had a go at comms the other night after their reaction to the Pearson red, which I thought was harsh.

Against Leeds she was whiney and annoying! Sorry ange1! 😃 It must be hard to remain positive, as she's a fan, just like us moaning gits! She's a ray of light compared to the matchday thread! 😬

Sohail is growing into it. He has some sort of likeable awkwardess and he’s not a charisma vacuum.. and as someone said above, when he offers snippets of his opinion he can actually be spot on. We'll come to love him if he sticks at it.

We'll come to love him if he sticks at it. I will often spam the matchday thread with Sohail-isms when he goes off on a stream-of-consciousness burble about chocolate, deep blue trouser coat pockets or 3-tiered cantilevered all seater stadia, but is from a place of affection. I grew up reading Jack Kerouac and Herman Hesse so I know where he is coming from. Angela will often drag him back kicking and screaming to actual football commentary, which is endearing and good listening My one remaining gripe is his frenzy when the opposition score
