Re the commentary - the simple rule is to mute the TV and put 5 Live on the stereo.

Normally I'd agree whole-heartedly with you MD. I think the Beeb have a Red Button option that allows you to bring on the 5Live commentary. Sadly my usual radio station of choice for these games has employed the aforementioned wastrel of inept management, rather-better-at-rain-dodging fame

Comparing Greece to Liverpool in '80s is pretty funny, especially given some of the fashion/ facial hair stereotypes linking the two. I can't and won't forgive the Greeks (or the Romanians for that matter. I mean, what have the Romanians ever done for us? Not a road or an aquaduct in sight); with Ingerluund out of the way I want entertainment, not second-rate lower-division dross.

As for punditry I'm with you there. Much better to tune in to the original 606 maestro, back by unpopular demand - master of the surreal, opinions delivered with indiscriminate machine-gun speed; stand up for Danny Baker.
