Tommy "State the Obvious" Smyth? You bet. Why this guy is providing color commentary for Champions League matches makes me wonder if someone lost a bet. He's shaky on his EPL knowledge, and it goes downhill from there. For example, whenever Milan plays a match he's on, I get the feeling that he's rehashing the mental image stuck in his head of Milan from 1994 (I'm still half expecting him to call Capello their coach) -- his brain hasn't registered anything new ever since.
And those hokey, trite, cliche phrases each and every time...
Needless to say, I would like to give that wanker a swift kick in the ol' onion bag.
