Who is commentating on Sky tonight? I know the voice but can't place him - but whoever he is, he is driving me mad with his utter drivel. It doesn't often happen that a commentator drives me so mad to want to turn the sound off!
Wilkins driving me mad too, a push on Bale - got the freekick but no yellow card, Wilkins claims its the worst mistake the ref has made all night. Despite the fact about 5 minutes before he allowed Dawson to play rugby in the box, why his hands were so high I don't know but Madrid unlucky not to get a pen.
[cite]Posted By: ME14addick[/cite]Thanks! It's Ray Wilkins who is driving me mad - I normally quite like him but his constant 'you've got to stay on your feet' is getting silly!
Agreed, he said Spurs players did well to stay on their feet, seconds after 2 of them had slid in :-)
Wilkins was beyond irritating, kept repeating the same stuff all game - "stay on your feet", "keep the ball", "it's hard playing against a team of this quality with 10 men" no shit
Personally thought crouch was unfortunate, second foul could've been dealt with by giving a final warning imo. Funny to see them get battered though

"If lennon (4 foot 8) had been on he would've been marking adebeyor for the first goal."
"spurs deserve a goal cos they've defended so well."

that made me chuckle....obviously Lennon not playing affected who would be marking Adebeyor at corners !!!! - magic
To be fair the comment about marking was a valid one as there was clearly a lot of confusion. Dawson was nowhere to be seen for either of Adebayor's goals, and Jenas somehow ended up marking him. Had Lennon been on the pitch presumably he wouldn't have lined up against Adebayor, and they'd have had a more suitable player marking him.
I heard on 5 live that Lennon has tweeted that he is not going to be the fall guy, as the Spurs medics have had him on antibiotics since Sunday when he fell ill !
I wonder what was up with Crouch, he hadn't received a yellow card in like over 70 games and then picked up 2 in 15 mins, and with Lennon not playing due to a soar throat, I wonder was there some bust up?
Doubt it, Lennon was ill & Crouch just "lost it".
Having said that, if the Real players hadn't rolled and just got up like CAFC players would have done (not Nicky Bailey) then he probably wouldn't have got 2 yellow cards.

Wilkins is getting on my tits with all of his "we" comments. Didn't realise he was a big Spurs fan!

Wow.
It was an open goal.
