Can you imagine the same scenario on the gillette soccer saturday ?
with Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas, and Gordon McQueen all spouting biased Drivel...and they are specifically given matches of their former clubs to commentate on to show their allegiance when a goal is scored, but they still manage to give a balanced view on the opposition.
If Clarke did a superleague version it would go like
Jeff Stelling - "so Phil ......Wigan versus Leeds, into the last five minutes hows it going ?"
Phil Clarke - "ohhhh Jeff its all Wigan, as it has been all Game, Sam Tomkins has just come close, he's been a thorn in the Leeds side all afternoon, they'll be glad to see the back of him today. Brett Finch has been spraying majestic passes from one side of the pitch to the other Causing the leeds defence no end of trouble....and Josh Charnley has almost finished off a move that would have surely been try of the season had he not knocked on with the line in front of him.........................but still no sign of a wigan try and its still Leeds riding their luck and leading 54 Nil"
Jeff Stelling - "you nob"
Funny post!
I think Phil Thompson takes it to a new level though, remember when Riise I think scored that own goal in the Champions League? If Phil Clarke had a similar reaction like that in the final minutes of a GF defeat to Wire then Warrington would be flooded with p!ss.
