I like it when they hang around the tunnel to get the team announcement, and then Ian Darke offers immediate commentary on team changes etc. That's really difficult to do and he's very good at it. He really prepares well for games.
I find Michael Owen a bit bland, because his voice is quite boring. But, he was a top top player (!), and his opinions are interesting. And what's more he doesn't shy away from voicing them. Last week he said he played a year with Soldado at Madrid and doesn't rate him. No "the system doesn't suit him" or "AVB isn't getting the best out of him" but simply "I was once a world class striker, I played for some of the best teams in the world, I trained every day with this guy for a year and he really isn't all that". You just can't beat the inside track like that. Hansen, as good as he was, is twenty years out of the game.
Halsey was a failed experiment, I'm hoping his absence yesterday means they've given up on it, but I have to give them top marks for trying.
