I don't know the commentators too well. I manage to exist solely on a combination of Internet Highlight's (I love MOTD! :D) & SBS.

SBS is a channel in Australia. There commentators are David Bashere & Martin Taylor, I think. both are quite good in my opinion.

EDIT: Oh wait. Martin Taylor is on your list. Well I like him anyhow.

Well, John Motson is a commentator, and Gary Lineker a presenter and I've never heard of Martin Taylor so thats them out the window.

But I gotta say I like Ray Wilkins. He knows what hes talking about and hes unbiased. I also like Jim Beglin. Imo, hes the best co-commentator on ITV.

I would say Ian Wright too but he's not a pundit anymore.

Of course, theres Jamie Redknapp who I hate.

Then you've got Mark Lawrenson and Alan Hansen who are both extremely crap.

I can't stand Craig Burley on Setanta. Hes so anti-United its unbelievable, so if he says a United penalty is a penalty, it MUST be a penalty.

I can't think of any more just now. But if I do, I'll re-post ;)

Martin Tyler is a commentator - though i hate him with a passion.

the worst pundits imo are:

Alan shearer
lee dixon
Graig burley
Jamie redknap
Phil Thompson
Paul merson
Matt LeTissier

I Don't watch MOTD unless its an FA cup match with Manutd or england so i'm not sure about most of their pundits.

lol most of those pundits are awful but to be fair, but it just wouldnt be the same
without them. You get right laughs from Merson and Le Tiss. Phil Thompson
is just great to watch when Pool concede a goal :D
The one against Barnsley was priceless and Le Tiss took the absolute mick out of
him lol.
I agree that Shearer, Redknapp, Burley are awful. Dixons not the best but not
as bad as the others.
The Sky sports saturday show is quality with Jeff and the boys......
Chris 'Kammy' Kamara is a legend though. hilarious watching him.

lol fair enough about phil 'big nose' thompson. i though we were saying who we hate, but i agree that his reactions are pricelss. especially vs barnsley and chelski.

Jeff stelling is brilliant. without him the whole show falls apart IMO. The way he takes the mic out of thompson, le tissier and merson is hilarious. The guy deserves a medal for making a boring show very funny.

Agreed, Jeff Stelling should be given something. Knight him ffs :D
The guy is an absolute legend, even the way he gets so worked up
when loads of goals are coming through at the same time.
He really makes the show great imo.
Funnily enough, I actually always look out for his beloved Hartlepool's results
and hope they win. I have a soft spot for the team. Thats the great influence
that Jeff has on me :eek: :D

Alan Hansen is the best pundit but its not hard, I reckon most of us could do a better job than these.

Lee Dixon is terrible as is Redknapp on occasions.

Andy Gray is such a great commentator, so enthusiastic, but does rather get on my nerves on FIFA ;)

I like Gavin Pea**** he knows his stuff on MOTD2.
