It doesn’t help that Rob Hawthorne winds me up as a commentator

People rate him but he’ll make a throw-in sound like high drama, a mid-table dead rubber sound like a fight to the death and I swear he writes some of his lines before the game, just waiting to use them in a dramatic moment. Maybe people like that, it just all feels a bit plastic to me to big up the smallest thing. It’s no surprise that he’ll be latching onto the idea of a Hollywood owner bankrolling a small club and making it seem like a Shakespearean drama.
