What's the funniest (For whatever reason) commentating error you've ever heard?

One of the best:

"'Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw."

Some of the ways that I hear players' names pronounced are pretty funny.

Someone actually called Henry, HEN-ree.

I haven't personally heard it, but I hear David Pleat pronounces "Abramovich" really odd, according to VVD. Anyone got any clips?

not really a mistake, but funny commentary none-the-less

I swear he's just saying "It's Thierry Henry", haha.

Check out the one of Dennis Bergkamp scoring in World Cup '94, the commentator actually starts having a cardiac arrest.

I think it was World Cup '98.

If you mean the one against Argentina its World Cup 98 in quarterfinals.

David Pleat is a idiot.. he can't pronounce anyones name correctly.

Liverpool 2- 1 Barca... I like!!
Inter 2-2 Valencia
Lyon 0-0 Roma
Chelski 1-1 Porto

Good results!! Buzzing after the liverpool game

Bad results for me, Arsenal and Barcelona both lost, bad week, still crying.

man u is basically in the clear barring an amazing performance from lille which most likely wont happen so it was a good week for me. plus shevchenko got another goal for chelsea.

Arsenal shouldn't have lost that game, but it just seems like they've got way too much on their plates.

That David Villa is a good player. Spurs should swap him for Mido.

Is that the one where he keeps repeating "Dennis Bergkamp" over and over again?

Yeah, orgasmically.

Hahaha. Even the name is funny. 'Mido'.

Villa is very good, but one free kick doesn't make a good player.

Haha, it's hardly that, though; the guy consistently plays superbly.

Anyway, which team will win the Champions League?

Me say Chelsea. What you say?

Hes done more than one freekick, in my opinion he is one of the most complete strikers in Europe, can play out wide on the left or right, behind the striker, as alone striker the kid can do everything. He has it all! Shame Valencia wont let him go :'( wish he would come to Liverpool

i dont know, i could definitely see chelsea taking it with the way drogbas playing right now. i didnt catch the carling cup game but from i what heard it was basically all drogba for chelsea. even when they're not perfroming, he is. plus with shevchenko finally finding his form they're starting to look a lot more dangerous.

Obviously you don't follow football much.

He didn't do a lot, but he capitalised as usual on the inherent shiticity of Senderos.
