For those of you who watched the game on telly last night, was it just me or did the co-commentator (Craig Burley I think) say some rather outrageous things?
In the first half, he said that he didn't know why people get their knickers in a twist over the Olympics (kind of agree with him there).... and in the second half when the ugly Yorkshire chef was spotted in the crowd and the commentator said that Ainsley Harriett was also present, Craig said 'is Anthony Worrall Thomson here, or has he gone shopping?'
Methinks he's been availing himself of the Emirates hospitality too freely

I liked his comment about henry's celebration..........."Good god what a drama queen, calm down son it's only leeds" had me in stitches.

He was also really harsh with arshavin. Complaining about him wearing a jumper, then calling him fat. What's with british commentators thinking that the proof of manliness is whether or not you wear a jumper?

And at the end when Thierry took the ball to the corner, he had the cheek to say "Why is he taking it to the corner, it's not the FA Cup Final"

Dodgy comments, very hilarious though. At least he was being funny about it rather than the usual dross we get from commentators.

They must have got mixed up with Paul Merson. After all, they are twins.
