If you listen to your footy on the internet, what are your teams local commentators like?

I listen to the Sunderland guys on metro fm. Here's a clip from yesterdays match when Sunderland scored a penalty in the 93rd minute to beat Palace 2-1. I'm sure I've never heard John Motson shout "Referee, you've got some bottle my son" or "It's a goal ... kiss your granny".

Remember that red-hot encounter between Cardiff City and Leeds a few years back after Sam Haman had wandered around the ground riling up his fans? Well I was there (dont support either) and Cardiff's in-house grounds commentator is the best in the business. The guy is the funniest and sharpest you wil ever hear. For example, when reading the names of the Leeds teamsheet out they were read over the Hovis theme tune with a fay northern accent - it was eerily silent and you could see the Leeds players were completely perplexed by it.
Nice.

Our commentary is from BBC Radio Devon but the commentator is a huge fan. His commentaries are excellent but best of all is when he gets to have a go at the opposing manager in the Press Conference afterwards, on behalf of all our fans.

So far, he has managed to annoy Joe Kinnear and Carlton Palmer, who both had set themselves up for a fall at our expense with their big mouths.
