This idiot makes it impossible to watch F1 with the sound on.
His continual witterings are driving me doolally.
The fop headed runt just cant help sucking lewis hamilton off.
Almost every other sentence is something about what lewis is doing, has done or is going to do.
WE DONT CARE!!! SHUT UP!!

[cock mode=on] Yes, theres plenty of action in the middle, and the front, and at the back.[/cock-off] Doh!

Argghhhh!

even better with the sound off; the scrolling graphics along the bottom are just as helpful.

The sooner this season finishes and Allen gets his P45 the better. Utter drivel as per usual. Rumour and conjecture presented as fact and often simple bks just spouted for what seems to be the sheer hell of it.

How does Brundle put up with sitting next to him?

Whilst watching the GP2 race, I was impressed by David Croft's live commentary - calm, measured, increases in tempo when things get exciting but not OTT like Allen. I think he'd work well with Brundle and there'd be a mutual respect. Since he has F1 experience from BBC Five Live, I reckon he should get the nod.

At least he is now talking about a Brit. I learnt to tune him out when he was the same about the Cobbler.

I do hope the Beeb see sense and use someone else next year so F1 commentary is done by Martin and a decent commentator. Jonathan Ledgard used to be great on Radio 5 so would get my vote.

I turned on the TV 15 minutes before the start and turned it off 15 minutes after the start...

The problem with the commentary is the description doesn't match what is happening as the action isn't there all the time, but James Allen is...

Imagine James Allen commentating on a cricket match, because that is how I view the way the commentary is out of sink...

I haven't sat down and watched a GP since last year's British GP, which is tradition of course. The reason is purely the commentary from that cock Allen.

I think they'd be better if they got Brian Blessed in to commentate on it, he'd openly acknowledge that he knows f all about it, but make it worth listening to!

I'd tune back in then! Oh yes!

You could imagine it after each big shunt, and they get the thumbs up from the medics ..... "Kubica's Alive!!" or "Kovewhathisface's Alive!!"

And didn't he only reveal that little gem after it'd become abundantly obvious what Hamilton's strategy would be?

Exactly.
The cretinous toad seems to think that we need an update every 5 minutes of what has already happened. Does he think the viwers are that thick? Or is it just that he has nothing interesting to say and so can only fill time by gabbling on about what even blind gibbon could have worked out for itself?

Luckily my wife seemed to enjoy the coverage, or maybe it was the sight and sound of me hurling abuse at the TV each time he came out with something stupid. So that meant it was pretty constant...............
