Don’t wish to big up a competitor in any way, but if you want to make watching what will be an appalling game worthwhile, Paddys have a great commentary cliche market.
You can definitely envisage the ever-witty Gerald Sinstadt blurring out “They’ll be turning red square blue tonight” if Chelsea pull off a miracle.
Cheers,

Can’t stand that Gerald Sinstadt. He telegraphs his cliches so much – you can see them coming a mile off. He prob thinks it’s clever and inventive but it’s just plain Lazy.
You can’t beat Barry Davies, IMHO. Forever marginalised by the BBC and cast in the shadow of that Autistic, SheepSkin coat-wearing, Spaz of a Stat-Bot; John Motson!
Davies had Poetry and eloquence. He understood that, sometimes, a silence could be as telling a description as a commentary.
That’s it.

Fill your boots with ” first all English final”, it’ll be said within the first few minutes, I reckon.
Bet you have no idea what the favourite is “759” @ 9-2. But it’s unlikely they’ll say that until Giggs comes off the bench

God I actually sound like I know what I’m talking about….

Ooops, managed to get my ITV commentators-with-funny-names confused… it is of course Clive Tyldesley who will be doing the business in Moscow.
Still a cracking good market… now if only I could have a bet on it… Sinead, Paddys seem to have locked my account. Not amused!
Well lads, I hope you had all your bets on with us and if you did the first round is on you at the next conference
I got my bet on ‘First all-English Final’ in the commentary cliche market… checked several times today and the result is still pending as far as I can see. Fintan, is there a stewards enquiry in to what Clive Tyldesley actually said?
