Andy Gray is the best commentator in football and that is a fact.

Right, you're either going to provide the evidence that backs up your assertion that "Andy Gray is the best commentator in football, and that is a fact" (which should be interesting, since I don't think there's any measurable scale in existence for quality of commentating), or I'm going to give you a warning for trolling.

He gave us "Take a boo, son!"

That will do for me.

[Baddar]

Andy Gray is someone who likes to think he knows everything, but whenever he's challenged with the "why aren't you a manager?" question, he just laughs and keeps playing with his latest piece of technology (because really, he knows much less than he would have us believe), where, despite telling us he won't slow something down because it's such a great goal, ends up doing so five or six times, because he's a cunt.

Now, viperlike, proving he's the "best" was an uphill struggle before this post - now said hill just got even steeper. Good luck!

From F365's Mediawatch:

Opener Of The Day

Said Kenny Dalglish to a Sky Sports reporter at a Liverpool press conference as he prepared to ask the first question:

"Are you OK with her (a female journalist) being in the room?"

[Hobo]

Kenny Dalglish is a wonderful man. His answer to the sky questions about transfers being basically a dig at Ian Holloway on Saturday made me smile.

[DFF]

Keys & Gray are idiots, plain and simple.

As for best commentator - it certainly isn't Gray. You could probably list most/all of BBC and ITV's and still be streets ahead.

[Baddar]

Gray and Keys won't be presenting MNF tonight, according to BBC Sport.

Bwahaha.

[jack95]

I used to love John Motson but I think you can hardly call him the best commentator now when he very, very rarely does live matches, if ever. I don't have Sky so I couldn't comment over there, but on BBC and ITV I think Steve Wilson, Simon Brotherton, John Murray and John Champion have good voices for it.

Also, if Keys and Gray genuinely believe the ability to decipher the offside rule lies in the penis, they don't even deserve to be anywhere near a football TV show.

Oh come on, women don't know the offside rule :/

[King Ellis]

Could have been worse, they could have been commentating on a Marcel Dessaily match.

[Baddar]

This isn't confirmed, but I'm HEARING that Jamie Redknapp has landed his dream job for tonight - presenting.

I would've thought he'd be the one filling in for Gray, and then they'd get one of the Soccer Saturday presenters (Jeff, Ed etc.) to fill in for Keyesey. I will lol if Redknapp is literally the presenter.

[Pesci]

Presenting is a much better role for Redknapp. Anything to limit his opinions being expressed goes down well in my books.

Oh, and Richard Keys is a legend. He's a complete nause when he's presenting, but this and the "silly little game, shit ground, fuck off" thing give me a laugh. So friendly on TV and then a right cunt when he thinks he's in the clear. Wonderful.

Also, if Jon Champion lost his voice box I wouldn't be too annoyed.

He must like wanking off to the sound of his voice like a whole lot of other people. The guy is a mug.

Anyone seen the video about Keys and Gray commentating on the FA Cup Women's Final? How could you honestly not laugh at that?

David Jones presenting, Eidur and Jamie with him. Ugh.

Heard Allardyce is in the commentary box tonight though. That should be about as fun as listening to Mark Lawrenson.

[ONO]

Mute +1.

[stokeriño]

I heart Eidur, but he cannot overcome the reams of shit that are continuously spewed from Jamie Redknapp's mouth all on his own.

[Starvinho]

Decent start from Bolton. Quite fancy them getting a result tonight, Davies should have just scored from that flick on.

[stokeriño]

Lovely strike. It's been ages since I've seen a goal go in at that range for Chelsea.

[stokeriño]

How on earth did that manage to sneak in?!

2-0.

[Starvinho]

I don't fancy Bolton any more 2-0 Chelsea, Drogba's was a cracker. Glad Malouda scored though because he's in my Dream Team
