Maybe, maybe not or possibly, perhaps

How many people exactly does 5Live have to send to Rome to report on a single football match? I don't know about MPs' expenses...

Listening to Breakfast this morning, it doesn't seem that there is that much to talk about either. I may have got a couple of details wrong but here is my attempt at transcribing a point made this morning to Alan Green, by one of the Beeb's 'expert' team, Vasos Alexander, on the prospect of Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo lining up on opposite sides tonight:

"It's games like this, Alan, when we get a definitive answer to which of the two is the greatest player in the world, well not quite a definitive answer, but their performance could show who is possibly the greatest player in the world. Alan, would you agree that is possible?"

Yeah, possibly Vasos, but maybe not definitely, or definitively, but potentially, perhaps, what d'ya think?

What a load of rubbish. No wonder Sarah Licks refuses to talk to the Beeb. Who on earth agreed to pay this man for spouting such nonsense?

Get him off air. North Korea's got a nuclear bomb for heaven's sake.

Yes, crap comments indeed but then commentators do exist to get our backs up. We shouldn't diss the BBC, without it there would be a hell of a lot more drivel on our TV and radio. Not only does it produce the best quality stuff but it acts as a benchmark for the other, purely commercially-driven, channels. Do we really want more Big Brother type crap?
