Just realised the summariser at St James's Park is Glenn Hoddle, which at least means only three games I have to choose from.
He’s a hell of a lot better than most of the pundits and actually comments on tactics and notices changes and stuff. Emma Hayes does this too. A lot better than most who just react to what they see in each phase of play, without offering any insight the commentator doesn’t already give.Glenn Hoddle has had a lot of stick over the years, but listening to him on the Newcastle Wolves game, he really knows his stuff. Most of the time.
I agree with you, but I've still turned over to watch Arsenal Spurs.He’s a hell of a lot better than most of the pundits and actually comments on tactics and notices changes and stuff.

I don’t need my summariser to just watch a replay and tell us what happened, I can bloody see that for myself.
One just doesn't want him to go off topic though. Dodgy dodgy.Glenn Hoddle has had a lot of stick over the years, but listening to him on the Newcastle Wolves game, he really knows his stuff. Most of the time.

See us and 'I'm A Baleba'....Wolves have a new signing called Agbadou playing at centre half, and if their fans don't come up with some sort of Black Lace (ask your parents, kids) chant in his honour, well frankly are they even supporters?
He made ONE mistake....He has seen it all before after all.
I would never dress up like a tuppeny ha'penny ponce.
First half hour of Everton, then the NLD in the hope that Spurs go 3 up then lose 3-2.The problem with games on every channel is, I don't know which one to watch. I just want a cracking game. It's pretty much a guarantee that whichever one I tune into, all the goals and excitement will be in one of the others.
Newcastle v Wolves- Saudis on good form, Wolves probably slightly better than their position suggests but they only play in fits and starts. Likely to be stop-start due to Saudi gamesmanship and Wolves' ineptitude.
Everton v Villa- the Moyes factor might spice it up, but Everton have been utterly turgid for years now and Villa are weaker away than they are at home, so that doesn't bode well for a great match.
Leicester v Palace- Relegation contenders v Champions League contenders. The home side could get an utter pasting at the hands of Real Madrid's future group stage rivals, and nobody wants to see that.
Arsenal v Spurs- two off-form teams BUT it's a derby and there is the strong prospect of Arteta and all their fans losing their collective minds at some relatively trivial refereeing decision, so that could be funny.
What do your reckon?
Was going so wellThat’s probably not the only double you’ve had to put that little flutter on
