Peter Drury

Yeah. Definitely part of the love is the emotion attached to his commentary in 99.

Imagine Drury doing 99? It would end up being a soliloquy.
I never got the love for Drury, but a couple years ago there seemed to be some mad clamour for his cringe sound bites. Maybe because on NBC all you heard was the odd highlight and not 98 bloody minutes of it.

Then he got the gig on sky and suddenly now everyone dislikes his flowery language.
 
Believes his own hype. Your not bigger than these moments bud. Less is more.
 
I don’t think there’s an ego to the man tbf to him. I think he’s just too passionate about his job. Look at the prep he puts in.

I think that’s the problem. He lacks spontaneity and he seems awfully pleased with his carefully rehearsed sixth-form poetry which he passes off as spontaneous. He’s scripted it all on his Premier Inn napkin the morning of the game.
 
All pundits and commentators have jumped the shark. Carragher is the worst. Keane not far behind him. I think Neville is bored of it all actually. Speaks much less than before. Scholes plays a parody of himself. Drury is fecking awful and always was.
 
Type of guy that looks at himself naked in the mirror and hypes himself up before sex and then goes to the room and remembers it's a blow up sex doll.
 
Commentating at the end of the Newcastle Sunderland game like it's the world cup final
To be fair, Sunderland celebrated like it was the world cup final.
He was happy as a pig in muck when the game finally livened up in the last few minutes, he loves a scrap.
