I don't know but he keeps getting the names wrong and he delivers every bit of commentary with false jollity. I don't think he's at the right game tbh. His co-commentator occasionally chuckles when he makes a mistake. It was funny at first but now it's grating.

Maybe it’s a really elaborate joke and we’re just not clued in. Or maybe he’s really thick.

[Aqualung]

Thin squad. Knackered players. Out of our depth against the saints. 

[rigger]

Perhaps Brittain got sent off to stop having to play out of position ?

[RTM08]

The amount of times we seem to just flat out not bother is infuriating.

And massive gulf in finances between bottom of the Premier League and Championship.

Wonder what the odds on Travis sending offg are

Tom Lockyer collapsed again at Bournemouth. 😔

Fingers crossed for the lad. Doesn’t look good.

I hesitated so to have time to think it through.

IMHO - Brittain knew what he was doing and what the outcome would be, which makes him a cunt and chicken shit

It could be worse, you could be a PNE fan. 1-4 at home to Watford now.

Just read that. Devastating for him, hope his recovery is swift.

He was pissed off because he thought he'd been fouled a few minutes before.

[Mike Graham]

Saints TV have twice referred to us as Bristol Rovers 😂😂😂

Horrible news. 

🤞 He's ok.

I feel sorry for the fans who have travelled all that way at an inconvenient time of year.

Sounds like a capitulation of Allardyce like proportions when he wasn't prioritising a game.

We do have these games when we don't put a shift in, Burnley away Preston home Rotherham away last season etc etc and it's not good enough.

Same as last week, men v boys.

They are so superior in every position, just like Leeds but we can't really expect anything else.

…..the sad things is ..we do have “ some men “….but they’re not even boys today. 
Appalling set up, weakness in character, really feel for those who travelled. I know how I feel after a performance like this as I trudge up Liveseybranch ..

 

[Bethnal]

Ref’s taken the coward’s way out. No VAR to rely on, so he bottles it to the better-fancied, home team. Spineless.

In other news Ayala''s been sent off for Rotherham.

Didn't  know he'd gone there - how the mighty have fallen.

[Mike Graham]

How many fouls against us have not been given?  Dreadful refereeing.

Excellent to hear. Suspect that might be his time as a player up, though. Two collapses in under a year is a warning. Life’s a lot longer than a football career.

Again? He seems to be making it a habit.

[booth]

Watford with 5 goals now.

[neophox]

Outstanding save from Wahlstedt

Got to get Christmas off somehow.

I doubt he’s clamouring to play right back. He doesn’t seem to enjoy the defensive side of the game much.
