During the Belgium v Algeria game , 17th June 2014. "Don't underestimate the power of dead balls" If he had a brain you would think that he would engage it before opening his mouth, what a wazzock!!

RaphaRam Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 David Pleat is easily the quotation master. The last one is my favourite. "To be fair, he probably struck the ball too well" (on Frank Lampard shooting wide of the goal) "A two-footed beaver of a player" (on Wesley Sneijder) "He looks a bull of a defender but I have to say he's playing like quite a cultivated bull at the moment" "Craig Bellamy definitely runs faster forwards than he runs backwards" "I think I'll have to sit on the bench on that one" (when asked to pick a winner between Spain and Russia) "Terry Sheddingham" "Lovely cultivated player, or is it cultured?" "No yellow cards yet, only mustard ones" "He decided to go to Korea, probably because of the noodles" (on Gus Hiddink's decision to coach Korea instead of Tottenham) "Sometimes the cheapest corners can be the most expensive" “There's music playing” (after Portugal scored a goal) “It was wild and handsome, high and handsome” Pleat: “The Swedish only have ten minutes to do something should they want to stay in the competition” Clive Tyldesley: “There’s still 26 minutes left of the match” Pleat: “Oh dear I forgot to put my watch back to Swiss time” “He's a very young, fresh-faced player, well he's not that young actually, 26 or 27, fresh-faced though, looks like he has just come out of college” “With eight minutes left, the game could be won in the next five or ten minutes” “They are trying to walk the ball in by heading it” “They're changing some of the midget gems in midfield” “Isaksson's not had much to do. He must be happy, he’s not been very busy and surprised” “There we see the little man trying to scratch the big man” “Daniel Anderson's a little ferret of a midfield player” “Sergio Ramos was an expensive addition to Spain” “These wingers are showing great intervention in invention” “Little wide outside right” (meaning ‘right wing’) “Of course! Deco has got eyes in the back of his head...I forgot about that!” “Moutinho using his weight there - all 5’ 7” of it” “Republic of Czechoslovakia” "The Dutch will be wary of the big lad pulling off at the back post" "He's got the world at his dancing feet" (on Christian Ronaldo) "He is a good defender, a fish and chips man" "Brian McBride is pound for pound as good as any of the top strikers in the Premiership" "This will be the first time we will be two thirds of the way through the match" "Ronaldo was coming in behind Ashley Cole there" (on Giggs; Ronaldo had supplied the cross) "Great save by Michael Carrick" (on Cech saving from Carrick) "And here we have a real movie star menace in that of Didier Drogba" "What a swivel and a shot from Redknapp" (On Frank Lampard nearly scoring) "I'm not too sure how much you get for winning the Champion's League, but it's definatly 10 million euro" "If United get through, they'll play Chelsea or Liverpool, in an all-Premiership tie, which is also an all-English tie, and also an all-British tie" "Here we see Tevez's little curly one" "There he goes again, doing doggies" "The ball is tied to his feet, but where's the string?" "Giuly's only 5'6 he's not very tall for a winger" "I don't know if that was a good bad one or a bad good one" "Manchester should brush past Roma tonight but it won't be easy" "The Romans are now disappearing, on the bus, trains or where ever they live" "There's Jermaine Defoe, checking the weather on his phone no doubt...he's a lovely boy" Clive Tyldesly: "Well, we have a Spanish referee for this all English encounter" Pleat: "Yes, well it is hot" "Who's coming off? It might be King, he certainly knows who's coming off, but only Ledley knows for sure, so we can't tell you" "Carrick will be the deepest of the threesome" "Statistics are damn lies" "He had to cut back inside onto his left foot, because he literally hasn't got a right foot" "Martin kick-your-legs as we used to call him when he was playing for West Brom in the 80s. He went home, ate a few pies, and now he's back and Spurs are grateful for all he's done" "He wasn't really trying to score with that shot" "Preki quite literally only has the one foot" Clive Tyldesley: "This wont be United's biggest win in Europe. They actually won a game 10-1" Pleat: "I remember that as a young man, against Anderlecht, wasn't it?" Tyldesley: "It was in 1903, David" "Robbie Keane does not miss. I can tell you now, Robbie Keane does not miss." Following Robbie Keane's subsequently missed penalty: "He usually puts it the other way" "Marseille needed to score first, and that never looked likely once Liverpool had taken the lead" "The pitch looks a bit like custard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've not been watching any of the games with English commentary, as IMO it's full of bias and general rubbish. I occasionaly read the BBC though, and it pains me to say it, but one of the best co-commentators on there is Neil Lennon. The guy actually comes across as really balances and well-thought explanations. Not like some of the others. Chris Waddle doesn't have a clue and Robbie Savage just speaks like a drunken fan as all he does is abuse the officials or says some is awful.
