That's a nice interview you've put up, I'm now reading about how to be a commentator.

 

[£1.99]

As always a very good read. May I ask do you earn your living from your website ? Its very good

Good interview.

Didn't realise he actually WAS a Man U fan (sort of), I thought that was just myth!

 

[questier]

How do you manage to get interviews with a lot of the top sports journos?

His line about Lothar Mattaus was just a copy of what Barry Davis had said at the Olympics when England beat Germany.

Thanks for those comments chaps - much appreciated.

@£1.99 - I haven't even made £1.99 from the site. I don't accept adverts on there as I just think they look awful, and pay peanuts. It's just a labour of love.

@Questier - I've built up a list of contacts, but that took me around a year to do. Once a couple of big names got on board, it made it easier for me to approach the others.

What HMHB doesn't reveal is that he has a team of 6 chimps chained to their lap tops with only watered down Skol and Silk Cut for sustenance knocking out these interviews. All this goes on while HMHB relaxes in his Spanish villas with a large cigar.

Keep up the good work La!

And, I would have got away for it were it not for you meddling kids...

How could anyone fail to notice he was a Man U fan? He can't go two minutes without mentioning them even when they're not playing.

Indeed.

Although if he was given a straight choice of watching Man Utd win the Champions League or the chance to suck off Jamie Carragher, I'm not sure which one he'd choose.

Did you call him a twat?

If I ever met him I actually would because he is ALWAYS trying for a soundbite. Every time.

And he looks like a MONG.

He does rather tend to, ahem, divide opinion doesn't he?

So true

does anyone else always think his name is pronounced "tiddles-lee" no matter how many times you hear it said properly

Indeed a fantastic commentator, but if I had a pound for everytime I'd heard him go on about 'that Balmy night in Barcelona'.

No he is shit.

One of those that can only commentate on footy and no other sport.

And he is SHIT at it as well.

Dreadful commentator nowadays!

Strangely, Tyldesley was a much better commentator twenty years ago, before his clichés and pseudo-poetry took over. He used to be much more succinct. See this...
