The Commentator's View on the Football Daily with Alistair Bruce Ball, John Murray and Ian Dennis. Hello and welcome to this special edition of The Commentator's View.
How did Manchester City secure a crucial win at Anfield?
This week we're doing things a little differently. The show will be presented by Kelly Cates and over the next hour myself, Alistair Bruce Ball, alongside John Murray and Ian Dennis are going to look at some of our moments of the season so far. The Commentator's View on the Football Daily with Alistair Bruce Ball, John Murray and Ian Dennis.
I'm joined by John Murray, Ian Dennis and Alistair Bruce Ball as we dive into their most memorable games of the season so far. And before we get into it, I have a small bone to pick with the three of you. Now, as listeners may know,
What made Rangers' 4-2 victory against Hearts memorable?
The Commentator's View is a very successful podcast, a very widely listened to podcast. And what that means is that someone is always listening and someone is always listening to the detail in the conversations that you have. And what I'd like to say, Ali, is that I heard you saying that you'd much rather Mark Chapman was presenting this.
There's a specific reason for that, Kelly.
Is it favouritism?
How did Bodo/Glimt achieve their stunning Champions League win over Man City?
Not favouritism. And I think I did preface it by saying... No offence, Kelly, I think you prefaced it with... I hope there will be no offence taken whatsoever. But Mark Chapman, or Hair Chapman, as he's known on our podcast... You know, is a little bit grumpy, claims he doesn't listen, refuses to appear on it as a guest. I'm delighted you're doing it, Kelly.
Can I just say as well, Kelly, it wasn't us.
I was just going to accuse another member of the team for telling you, Kelly, that.
Well, I'll be honest. I listened to it myself and I did hear a consensus, but we'll leave it there. We will move on. Just like to leave it with one comment, which is that the BBC is supposed to be neutral. And that includes with your colleagues.
What led to Liverpool's Champions League exit against PSG?
So just word for the future. We have your first three choices then. They're all from the domestic leagues. And it starts with one of the first big upsets of this season's Premier League.
What were the key moments of Arsenal's win against Athletic Club in Bilbao?
And that is the choice of Alistair Bruce Ball.
What can Broby do? Broby turns, lays it back. Talby with his right foot!
And Sunderland have scored in added time at Stamford Bridge. It could be a famous win at the start of a really encouraging season in the Premier League for Sunderland.
How did Macclesfield pull off a shocking FA Cup upset against Crystal Palace?
The players are going wild.
They've all come sprinting down to celebrate with the Sunderland fans. Leading Chelsea a merry dance. Chelsea 1, Sunderland 2. Sunderland going second in the Premier League.
Oh, there's a huge surprise factor in all of that, Ali.
What were the implications of Manchester City's League Cup victory?
It's a great choice.
Yeah. Do you know what? One of the things just listening back to that, Kelly, that struck me as well was that really distinctive, and you only properly get it in radio commentary, that distinctive sound of away fans celebrating. Because it's not that thunderous explosion of noise had Chelsea scored a late winner and you can sort of barely hear yourself think. I think that's quite a distinctive sound. So even if there was no commentary on that, I think you'd know who scored the goal. But yeah, no, it really felt like a statement win and that's why it stood out to me. And I think particularly, Kelly, sort of just the narrative going into it. I mean, I think I said in the commentary there that Sunderland had had a really encouraging start to the season and they had.
The very fact that win took them second in the table, they'd started well. But obviously in the previous two seasons, we'd seen the three teams who came up go straight back down. So that's obviously a big talking point at the start of any Premier League season. Are we going to get into this sort of yo-yo effect where it's very difficult for any promoted club to stay up?
