Hargreaves as a commentator was shit, so was the fecking BT mini cam in the bottom left. feck you BT.
Yep. I wasn't sure if he meant it like that or not till he said "its in the past now"Did he say that? Is he still blaming United for being injured all the time?
He also looks like Jon Snow.
Thought they fecking killed him at red wedding. Now we've got to put up with him for longer.
Game Of Thrones fans. Stop bringing your gay fantasy dragon shit into every thread. But far more importantly, stop ruining the accepted public perception of Jon Snow.He looks more like Robb Stark, who is of course Jon Snow's brother, which means the GOT casting people are better at their job than Owen Hargreaves is a playing 90 minutes a season, which isn't very difficult admittedly.
I thought he was Dwight Yorke for 30 minutes.
So did I. It was only when the cameras panned to the commentary box at HT I realised it was Hargreaves. He had a mini rant about Brazilian players tendency to not having their family surnames on their shirt, but I thought he was actually quite good.Just watching this now. I didn't know who he was until half time. I thought it was Dwight Yorke.
My favourite bit so far is his rant about how players who spend the whole season injured shouldn't miss out on winners medals.
To be fair he's not really come across as dislikable. He just has a weird voice and I'm fairly sure will suffocate in a minute seeing as he hasn't paused for breath since kick off.
He was fine, there've been many worse pundits (french and arabs included). He did a good job of hiding his hatred for the club
CJP .. despite his real enthusiasm for the game is just terrible, really bad commentator.That's what I was thinking. If that's the worst commentator there is in the UK, you guys are bloody lucky. Try a game with Arsene Wenger assisted by Bixente Lizarazu and the world's undeniably worst commentator Christian Jeanpierre. Now that's an ordeal.
I agree his voice is too monotonous for commentary though, he's not suited to it. As for the Jones thing, the other guy just went on for a while talking about him, Hargreaves had obviously just missed the beginning and asked who he was talking about. No biggie.
Yeah he's retired a while back iirc. Sometime lat season I think, after city released him. Thought I read WBA giving him a trial but not sure what happened there. Or I might be wrong.He's a pundit today, certainly not as insightful as Carragher and Neville from what I've seen. Has Hargreaves given up on playing now?
He gave up on playing in 2009; at least his knees did.He's a pundit today, certainly not as insightful as Carragher and Neville from what I've seen. Has Hargreaves given up on playing now?
Owen!
Eat your heart out Lamela
I'm won't be surprised if he twisted his hamstring while doing the video shoot.Owen!
You Bayern legend. GET IN! Such a great player.
I swear he's talking more than the actual commentator.Owen "look how smart i am, look how much i know about German football, in behind" Hargreaves being insufferable tonight

He's not been anti-United in the slightest so far.Negative anti united unless it's about a player he played with and has a voice that makes me want to destroy him. Just awful
He is though, everything is awful according to him, whiny gimp with his mongrel accentHe's not been anti-United in the slightest so far.
His voice is weird though. He's not very good at speaking, doing a job where he is paid to speak.
