Martin Tyler

Annihilate Now! · 6th February 2012, 11:23

The man comes in for a lot of stick it seems, but for me, his commentary can make games and make moments all the better. Take yesterday for example, his commentary on that Mata free-kick almost gave me a stroke, as I seeing the shot, coupled with Tyler's commentary made me think that he'd scored... then when I realised DDG had saved it, I celebrated as if we'd scored a goal. My elation was greater then it perhaps would have been had it not been for Tyler's screaming MATAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

This, coupled with another stand out moment from this season (Ji Dong Won's goal against City... which again Tyler was superb on) and countless other moments down the years honestly makes me think that Tyler greatly improves the viewing experience.... especially in comparison with all the other commentators out there.

So do the Caf share the Tyler love-in? Or do ya'll think he's a gunner loving twat??

Also, videos are welcome... (I'd post some, but I'm at work...)

towcester_red · 6th February 2012, 11:24

I like him.

'This is special, even by Manchester United standards, this is special'

From yesterdays game.

Randall Flagg · 6th February 2012, 11:26

He is synonymous with many of our great goals over the years.

I have never found him to be bias at all, which some seem to think he is.

His best moment this season is when the Korean player won the game for Sunderland Vs City

Cina · 6th February 2012, 11:30

I thought he was great yesterday myself. Still my favourite commentator when he bothers to make the effort, something a bit lacking of late as he grows older.

The problem for me is that his co commentators are usually Ray Wilkins or Alan Smith, who are shite. I liked the few times that Gary Neville was alongside him.

Freak · 6th February 2012, 11:33

Yesterday's commentators on the feed I was watching were awful. Craig Burley and Clive Tyldesley (I think).

Lance Uppercut · 6th February 2012, 11:36

I like him. However, I have long suspected that he's an Arse fan.

Hectic · 6th February 2012, 11:36

In a sea of crab, he is a lobster. Depending on how you rate your seafood, this analogy should cover everyone.

What a fucking moment that was... in fact, when I remember the goal, I tend to remember his commentary along with it.

Also his commentary on Torres' miss this season was superb... the yelp perfectly encapsulated the moment.

Cold_Boy · 6th February 2012, 11:37

Pretty good tbh.

I mean he has opinions.

Its not like he is wrongly biased like some other twats that commentate.

Flying Fox · 6th February 2012, 11:38

his orgasm over Ji's winner in the Sunderland v City game was immense.

JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lobster is sexual

but i love crab too

Hectic · 6th February 2012, 11:41

Single handedly took the world back 30 years by shouting "Ji Whizz!" after the goal.

So all in all he's better than most. Not by huge margins, but he's a bit of a rarity compared to the other creatures. Not something you would eat everyday if you had the ideal choice though. Something you learn to appreciate a bit with more age.

Brophs · 6th February 2012, 11:45

I remember in some game a few months after Smash It! And Nicey had been sacked he said about some Wolves player "He's a good header of the ball - but not as good as my former colleague Mr. Gray". Then he went silent. It was a pretty intense moment.

He was in fact responding to Andy Gray who had asked him what he wanted on his sandwiches

But I love all crabs, I dont love all commentators. I would eat crabs for brekkie, lunch and dinner if I could.

Your analogy failed badly IMO

He is still one of the best around and should do more games.

His "Macheeeeeda" bit is one of my favourites.

You haven't even eaten all types of crab you ungilled fish. What about swamp crab? Thought not.

My analogy holds.

Lance Uppercut · 6th February 2012, 11:52

His "Barnes, Rush, Barnes, Rush...COLLYMORE CLOSING INNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" is his best moment.

LOL That catch phrase of Tyler's is the only thing that I don't like about him. He is the best commentator at puns and word play, though sometimes he over steps the mark and gets a little too poetic. In the Andy Gray era there was also, at times, a homoerotic vibe between the two, I don't miss that.

I don't really get annoyed by any commentator or pundit. Even the bitterness in Craig Burley's voice makes me laugh.

My favourite pundit was Peter Schmeichel. I remember when he chose goal of the month and he picked a goal that not one of the 20000 viewers that voted picked.

A lot of posts in this thread: Sky Sports

Apparently people were upset because he didn't have an orgasm when Valencia scored a fairly routine goal.

In fantastic news, Jim Beglin is not having his contract renewed.

So which former Liverpool player will replace him?

I wouldn't mind if it's Hamann.

holyland red · 6th February 2012, 12:17

Memorable commentary for that Nani goal against spurs at OT

Ramshock · 6th February 2012, 12:20

I usually defend Tyler but his "Fergie watch" bit irked me a little. As if he is the only fckin manager that checks his watch in the last bit of the game.

That was Alan Parry.

Yeah Martin Tyler is great but he definitely has a slight bias towards Arsenal. I've noticed when opposition teams score against them he usually sounds quite glum. Take Valencia's goal against them a few weeks back for instance.

VivaRonaldo7 · 6th February 2012, 12:29

What the fucking hell was his comment on Sturridge about yesterday?

All part of the plan?

Sturridge has been to fucking Bolton and Tim buk fucking tu since he left Manchester City so why the fucking hell would it be part of "Mancini's plan"

What a fucking idiot.

Swamp crab is redneck delicacy.

MikeUpNorth · 6th February 2012, 13:25

He's good, unless Arsenal are playing.

GE · 6th February 2012, 13:54

He was pretty biased yesterday.

My 6 year old brother even asked me "how come the commentator shouts when Chelsea get a chance, but not for Man United?"

Just because he said that, doesn't mean he wasn't biased throughout the game.
