    No a criticism, just curious.

    Actually, no one can answer that. If you listen to the opposition commentary, why?

    Was wondering the same. I assume listening to streams rather than paying for the game.

    That Derby game I think they might have named Barnsley players more correctly than our chap did. Only noticed one today.

    Because the game I watched had Radio Solent commentary only

    It’s like when you find yourself watching the game from the wrong end. Everyone sees a different game.

    I mostly listen to ours, but like to switch over every now and again just out of interest, to hear what they're saying. Normally it's just for five minutes or so, but I thought Bournemouth's was so mad that I switched back a lot more regularly than I normally would, especially once we started bossing them.

    I will say that ours is almost always better - we really do have a good team. Couldn't believe it when I worked out that the opposition commentators were on the BBC!
