Mike WattsGUEST
Like, if you really sit down and listen to him, it that that's bordering on an American with an English accent.
Mike WattsGUEST
as opposed to john champion and uh i think ian dark who probably lean more toward the stylized english sound at least that's the way i hear it yeah um So, you know, that's obviously in no way a knock on any of those three.
Mike WattsGUEST
You know, I had someone go, well, you know, John Champion doing the the Olympic final, you know, you doing NWSL does that.
Mike WattsGUEST
And I'm like, that doesn't offend me at all.
Mike WattsGUEST
Like, I want to listen to John Champion more, too.
Mike WattsGUEST
So it's not just an accent thing or a style thing like that.
Mike WattsGUEST
You know, he's, he's certainly, uh, as, as gold as standard as gold standards go within the sport, all of this to say, we do have an American style.
ChrissyHOST
And then, you know.
ThadHOST
Like John Champion on Mission Log says, everyone's least favorite episode is someone else's favorite episode.
ChrissyHOST
Right? Yes.
ChrissyHOST
I
Mark MulvaneyHOST
What do you want to do? So they mentioned it on the broadcast when I watched it back.
Mark MulvaneyHOST
We probably didn't hear it at the pub when he said it, but John Champion said the exact same thing, right? Bernardo Karate.
Mark MulvaneyHOST
And Graham Lasso goes, I have no recollection of that player.
Mark MulvaneyHOST
And John Champion says, a player of no consequence.
Mark MulvaneyHOST
I was like, you bastard.
Mark MulvaneyHOST
Dismissal.
Ben LockeHOST
that's one of my World Cup rants
Callum McDougallHOST
but then they showed them and then it was clear that John Champion and Ally McCoy didn't know who it was and I'm like there's Liv
Ben LockeHOST
Morgan I'd recognise her to be fair it happened quite often over the years obviously I'm guessing on Fox I'm guessing on Fox they mention
Callum McDougallHOST
them all the time what was the thingy what was one of them called ASAP Rocky Yes.
Simon HillGUEST
football commentator because that's the era I grew up in and the commentators that I listened to, John Motsen, Brian Moore, Barry Davis, Martin Tyler, you know, all of those guys are very similar in their style.
Simon HillGUEST
Even in the modern day, you know, John Champion is probably their modern day successor.
Simon HillGUEST
There are different styles of commentators like Peter Drury, who's You know, very modern in his approach, very flowery with his language.
Simon HillGUEST
And, you know, I know Pete.
Simon HillGUEST
I work with him.
Simon HillGUEST
ITV is a super guy.
Simon HillGUEST
Personally, I prefer John Champion's style of commentary.
Simon HillGUEST
But, you know, there's no doubt that Pete's been hugely successful in what he's done and good luck to him.
Richard KeysSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There are.
Richard KeysSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think, uh, uh, I love listening to Jon Champion, and I'll tell you why.
Richard KeysSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Because I think Jon is the master of silence.
Richard KeysSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Radio, you need lots of words.
Dom FarrellGUEST
We, we, we can all go into watching football games with preconceived ideas and then probably read them not as well as we should on the basis of that.
Dom FarrellGUEST
It just so happened that the lead commentator in John Champion on Amazon, in my opinion, did that on Tuesday, and Alan Shearer sort of went, went down swinging with him a bit.
Dom FarrellGUEST
It was, um-
David MooneyHOST
I always wondered in these situations if it's quite hard for the co-commentator to go, to be seeing something else and go, "Actually, you know, I, I don't think you're right here." [laughs]
Samuel ArmyHOST
And it was a little bit like that.
Samuel ArmyHOST
I thought the commentators, it was John Champion and Lee Dixon, were maybe a little over the top in sort of saying, oh, this has been the best half of, you know, soccer we've seen all season.
Samuel ArmyHOST
I heard that too.
Samuel ArmyHOST
And I was like, yeah, it's good.
JackGUEST
kit but it'd only have two stripes yeah and stuff like that but you'd be buzzing just because you could see Gerrard in a full Edith kit yeah
TomHOST

JackGUEST
Merseyside Red
TomHOST
versus Merseyside Blues Yeah, it was great, man.

Chris SmithHOST
I keep calling him Araujo, but it's Araujo.
