Rarity value?
Says “desperate”?Epic bump
But how come it shows Brad is a Newbie?
Not even eBay rare, but legitimate rare!
Nowhere near as insufferable as Tyler but his narration of every single goal is so over the top. How many times has he used the 'from boy to man' reference now?
He's tough work at times. Tydsley was the sweet spot between drama, a bit of poetry but also some subtly. I sense Drury is aware of how things might sound in highlights and reels, and reaches to hard for something memorable. Was very contrived when he described rodri as 'clarting' it against united.
He scared the shit out of me when he screamed it as I was losing my virginity
I can't stand him.
Give me Tyldesley any day over anyone on Sky.

He's bloody brilliant. I love how he speaks.
he’s had a fly, and he’s score a lovely goal, what a lovely lovely goal, this is a lovely football match
Loves the sound of his own voice.
He's so cringe
I laughed when he repeatedly called Gvardiol Akanji during a counter. Not like they're twins separated at birth..
Had that Palmer line in his notes all week.
Yeah, his well-rehearsed spontaneity is tiresome.
I find his over the top pre-planned lines so cringey. He’s fine when generally talking about the game but as soon as someone scores he turns into the cringiest man in the world.
probably true but it was a needed change from Tyler’s puns, De Gea, De Bruyne, De rby
Yup, Tyler needed to go (but he's back, right?).
He's a deliciously worded commentator.
Harsh on @Snowjoe
Not everything is a fecking epilogue. It's wearing very thin.
That commentator who does the 2pm games is really good. No scripted nonsense like Drury, just commentates on the game.
That was so terribleYes, this. He sounds like someone from some old-school Sat evening family show.
It's all about him. Darren Fletcher has the same issue but is far, far worst
I almost bumped this thread earlier.
My goodness…he’s unbearable.
So many rehearsed lines throughout that match made me nauseous.
and finishing with ‘The city boy. The Chelsea man’ almost made me throw up

Gobshite.
Drury: Ah, ladies and gentlemen! As the morning sun gleams through the window, casting its golden hues upon the tablecloth, here we are witnessing the most astounding event of the day - the breakfast! The stage is set, the ambiance is electric, and the toast pops up with a thunderous applause!
Wife: Would you like some cereal, dear?
Drury: A mesmerizing symphony of oats and grains cascading into the porcelain arena! The milk enters the battleground, swirling like a whirlpool of creamy delight, embracing the cereal in a gentle yet passionate embrace. Oh, what a culinary ballet this is!
Wife *sips coffee*: How's the coffee Pete?
Drury: Oh, the elixir of life! The aromatic steam rises like the hopes of a team before a crucial match! The first sip, oh, the first sip is like a goal scored in extra time, pure ecstasy coursing through the veins! A symphony of beans harmonizing with the orchestra of taste buds!
Nah, I don't mind him mostly. However, it does annoy me the way he behaves, much like many others Premier League commentators, as if he's completely, breathlessly in awe of the top teams. Especially City. But also the one I support. Our clubs all have a lot more money than the rest of the league, that's why we're a lot better than them. There's no need to act so wonderstruck by it.

I read that in my head with his voice and enthusiasm.Ultimately the problem is when you keep going over the top it comes across as fake and rehearsed. That may work for the average wrestling fan, but for a competitive sport you need it to feel genuine for people to buy into the drama
So good.
Missed most of the game today, what was he babbling about this time?
I prefer him to Tyler audibly sulking because the wrong team scored to suit his agenda commentary.
So did he apparently.
He’s good in small doses but the over the top stuff gets old quickly when you have to listen to it every week.
Accurate
Pretty sure he shouted ‘Foden Mania’ as he took a shot in the first half today.
What cha gonna do when Foden Mania runs wild on you?
Spent the whole game basically performing fellatio on every city player anytime they did something moderately impressive.
