Got no problem with female commentators, as long as they are good. There's a bloke (Irish, I think) who is just so banal, it's like listening to the ponderings of a not very knowledgeable bloke down the pub.

What winds me up more is big team bias: I watched the Wigan v City game (well done Wigan BTW), and listened to them all agree that the Delph red card was very harsh, despite the fact he went in studs up halfway up the shin, and if the guy's leg had been planted he may well have broken it. Contrast that with Punch's attempted hooking of De Bruyne's leg to stop a breakaway (which he cocked up and ended up injuring both of them) and they were all convinced that should be a straight red, though it was unlikely to do any serious damage (as it turns out it twisted Punch's knee)

If it was whom I suspect, Alan Green on the BBC, then you're in luck as he's moved to the USA to do MLS commentary.

Agree with Tony Gale too, he's very annoying despite having played for us.

Optimistic as ever

My second wife was surprisingly good at recounting games I'd missed when working late but as a rule, I'd agree with the OP, although I think it's maybe just a case of getting the right woman behind the Mike. There's enough inadequate male commentators to suggest that having testicles isn't actually the deciding factor.

Winning isn't everything. Without the defeats we would not value the victories. Still, it's a shame we can't play Chelsea every week.
