    John Motson has announced he will retire at the end of the season

    Never thought he was as good as Barry Davies but better than some of the newer ones - another sport that wont quite be the same

    I loved his commentary on the Chelsea cup game. "Odejayi wouldn't mind a diagonal cross. That is a diagonal cross."
    "And Oakwell goes wild".

    Don't need commentators..just watch the match. Don't have a commentary when I'm at Oakwell, so why when its on tv?

    I usually record it, that way you can skip all that stuff and instead of the program taking 1.5 hours you can watch it in about 40 mins

    Always annoyed me when he tried to make out that something that was obvious and visible to all watching, as though he'd been the only one to spot it.

    I used to own A VHS tape that was a recap of the 2002 World Cup, he did quite a few games. Loved his commentary. So glad he did Barnsley-Chelsea.
