I always thought the Liverpool one was Ringo Starr, sounds like he's about to announce when Thomas is due at the station :P

I don't think it really matters.. I don't care what the announcer is like, about the big screen, what happens at half time.. I come to watch the match and that's it.. I get in as close to kick off as possible..

Best one is Everton, especially if you're watching on TV as it deafens the commentators.

I like the current guy and in my opinion the Liverpool announcer sounds like he should be doing Ascot.

Didn't he say something about us at Half Time in the Cup Match when we lost on Pens, he got a right load of abuse from us behind the goal

I was about to write this...the Liverpool guy came on and shugged his shoulders and said "Sorry it doesn't get better than this..." The Blues fans thought he meant because we were losing and booed and catcalled so loud that he gave up and walked off. Hilarious! :LMAO:

The game where Keith Laurent got in trouble for repeating the name of the substitute was a night game in 1999 against Bolton Wanderers. The player was 'Bo Hanson'

One of the best 'whooooo's' against Watford 2001. The lad Wooter looked like he thought he had entered a Zoo or something.

You're the only one here who watches Everton games on TV.

Incredible, intimidating, immense.

It took him a couple of years but now the current PA announcer plays it up really well too.

I think it's always better when it's against the famous players like Wayne Rooney

I really don't mind the current announcer, I thought Keith Laurent was far better but the current one isn't bad at all.

Why the hell would we want one like Liverpool? He might be calm but he's bloody depressing! I'd rather have someone who at least tries to be exciting, vibrant and energetic.

I like the sarcastic whoooooos. He does the substitution announcements well. It wouldn't be half as funny if he didn't phrase them the way he does.

I love the way the current announcer almost sarcastically names the opposition's substitutes, like he's never heard of them either. It really goes well with our classic "Who?"

Yeh thats funny.

Also I think he did a great job at the carling cup final getting everyone up for it then beginning a chorus of KRO, it was much better than Arsenals announcer and his speech zzzzzzzzzzzzz.


Im more inclined to concentrate on improving the squad rather than the announcer for god sake.

If we're going to get back into the Premiership we urgently need another public announcer. May I suggest we give the job to Nikolai Zigic? After all, he must be good at something.

Looks at little silly this quote

Totally agree about the Carling Cup Final he was great at getting the Blues fans singing.

I think he does a decent job against a background of general apathy from Blues fans.
Mind you this is Blues and some people are only happy when they are criticising.

I don't mind our announcer.

Does his best to fire up the crowd, must be a tough job.

The way he sarcastically announces the oppositions substitutes works well with our famous 'WHOOO'.

Keep him and focus on the pitch.
