Peter Drury on commentary

Anyone else can’t f***ing stand the absolute shite that comes out of his mouth? Tries far too hard to be poetic, comes across as scripted nonsense.
Another reason these prime tv games are unbearable to watch.
He started off this final with this:

‘The Red Sea and blue, in thrilling discord with the red Mersey beat. It is the ear splitting heart pumping disharmony of the dream Wembley event. They're at it again, blues and reds for the first prize of springtime for the fresh cream shoot of a new Chelsea blossoming all for the final flowering of liverpool under Jurgen klopp

Couldn't hold a candle to Coleman etc, "1-0".

Don't know how he dares go in like that, Liverpool are a disgrace to the English game
 
VAR checked an offside and he started booming ‘and now…it’s down to the lines and the rulers’.

Like Attenborough talking about a rabbit about to get mutilated by a fox.
 
He was my favourite commentator on the world feed. He added something a bit extra to the biggest games that theyve lost now. It does sound like he might have gone meta Druryian since moving to sky, I don't remember him saying anything nearly half as pompous as that in a game I've seen him on.

Hear the way he went on when they scored the winner ? Couldn’t believe what he was saying. Called Chelsea billionaire bottle jobs and was raving about Klopps kids. He give Chelsea no credit all game

Sounded to me like he was hammering Chelsea for bottling it tbh. Also said “I can’t wait till Klopp leaves”

Sounds like something I’d call Chelsea if I was a Chelsea fan today. Like when this board hammers our club haha

I don’t like his flowery prose.

When I was a kid and first got into football (1992), there was Motson, Davies, Moore, Sindstadt, Gubba, and Alan Parry, and a young Clive Tyldesley (Tyler was on Sky and we didn’t have that). What a golden era of commentators!
