Re: Manchester United Champions Thread!!!19!!!!!
Wow, I can't stand Ian Darke. His favourite things in football are wrongly given penalties that he can harp on about for hours and wrongly given marginal offsides that he can harp on about for hours. He genuinely seems to be upset when there's good football on display and nothing controversial going on.
He also seems to hate United. Not sure when they pissed on his foot, but every match involving them he is clearly rooting for the other team. McManaman is normally the balancing act. I can't remember which match but United conceded a corner which was about 8 yards from goal and it went like:
Darke: Well there's more evidence that De Gea just isn't a premier league keeper, flapping at yet another cross.
McManaman: That's really not the keeper's ball to be fair to the lad.
Darke: Yes Steve, but as a winger you'd of been drooling over a keeper who is so bad on crosses.
McManaman: He's having a good game though, and he's young.
Darke: Yes the headline writers will have their knives out tomorrow.
He's like the Sun of commentary.
You know who I love? The random dude that does all the Bundesliga on ESPN3. One man, great knowledge, no partiality towards either team, focuses on the football and just seems to love watching. Must be why he never gets premier league matches, which I swear the commentary now is paid to create controversy when there is none, so they have to talk about halftime, and then print in their papers.
